With recent git master and MLT, when trying to use the alpha shapes effect, it always (re)sets all its parameters to 1000, thus becoming useless. A reset works until the user tries to change a parameter, either using the sliders, or by changing one of the input field values. While the effect UI seems to be working, when you click away, then select the effect again, all parameters are reset to 1000.
From my tests I can't reproduce... could you maybe provide a step by step instructions? I am using MLT 6.5 and Kdenlive 17.03.70.
Will retest, there should have been a commit I saw.
Retested: the resetting of parameters is gone, but most users will now by the problem that Farid also hit: all parameters default to 0, which aren't the correct defaults. Position X, Y, as well as Size X, Y, and in particular Max should have default values other than 0. Max should be 1000, meaning full alpha. So this bug is only half fixed, but default values of 0 are incorrect and make the effect unusable to most users.
At this time, I can work around in my projects using the Rectangular Alpha mask effect. But the defaults should be fixed properly.
Current master, I have the following defaults: Position X: 500 Position Y: 500 Size X: 100 Size Y: 100 Tilt: 500 Transition width: 200 Min: 0 Max: 1000 Do you confirm it is fixed?
Can you please nudge the Kdenlive master ppa for a new build, so I can test? Thank you very much!
Confirming that this bug is fixed. Thank you very much! Moving BR to resolved-fixed.
