[Kdenlive-devel] Crop effect does not work on .kdenlive clips

[Simon A. Eugster]

As the Canon EOS 550D is recording with 1088 px height.

When using 1080p as project profile, black borders are created on the 
left/right of the video (scaled down to 1080). So one option is to add a 
Crop effect to every single clip in the timeline and cutting off 8 px from 
the bottom (or the top).

The other possibility would be to work with a 1088p project profile and, 
when done, import this .kdenlive project in a new project (add it as clip) 
with a 1080p profile, adding the crop effect only once to the .kdenlive clip.

At least in theory. In practise, the crop effect does not do anything 
applied to a .kdenlive file. Why? And could this be fixed for the next release?
