How to add a new effect library

Asked by Mathijs Strijards

Can i add a new effect library to Openshot?
I'm not really a coding freak, but i know a bit python, and i'm missing some effects in openshot.
So i'm wondering if i can contribute to openshot by adding the Movit effect library.
The Movit effect library is based on MLT and is used by Shortcut and Kdenlive.
Movit has shadow, midtone and highlight colorgrading using color wheels.
It shows all the effects for i.e. color grading in one window and is user friendly and easy to use.
It renders using GPU.
I don't know how to add it myself so if someone can explain i can contribute to some effect requests i saw on the forum.

Hi,

OS is a free and open source software and obviously, you can contribute at
his development. Once time you have done your work on it and send us your
patch, we will test it and see if we will include in another milestone.

However, you must keep in mind that the next version will use Libopenshot
and not MLT, our actual video framework. A lot of things has been changed
in OS Qt version.

Thanks to help us.
