Hello
I am using Gentoo Linux. I have kdenlive 0.9.6 and mlt 0.9.0. I have installed frei0r plugins and I have many frei0r filters available in kdenlive, but no filter for color balance. What can I do in order to get it ?

Thanks in advance
Michael

edit: I have frei0r_balanc0r.xml in proper directory, but it doesn't show in kdenlive

What does it say in frei0r_balanc0r.xml ? - Mine says <name>White Balance</name> which means that this is going to appear as the white balance effect

Hello. I will paste You the whole balancor file (it's short)

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE kpartgui>
<group>
    <effect tag="frei0r.balanc0r" id="frei0r.balanc0r">
        <name>White Balance</name>

It seems we have the same <name> line. In one of my later posts I wrote, that I notice, that I am missing most colour effects, not only balanc0r.

So do you have a White Balance effect in the Colour Correction group then ? You don't get a balanc0r effect. You get a white balance effect. The xml tells you what the effect is names in kdenlive.

Hello. Unfortunately I don't have it. In the Colour Correction group I have only these three: Brightness, Brightneess (keyframable), Gamma.

Hmm.
I have the 11 listed here http://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual ... Correction

This must be something screwy with your versions.

I am running some daily build version of kdenlive (not built recently !)

./ start-kdenlive -v

You could try running a dailybuild version. If you do that it installs a complete working kdenlive ecosytstem in a sandbox so it does not effect the rest of your installed packages.
eg my main frei0r is version 1.4.0+git20130403.245bb387-0ubuntu0~sunab~precise1 but my daily build version is different.

See http://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual ... ily_builds for more info on installing dailybuilds
