[Kdenlive-devel] Questions about audio effects

[Hugh Tebby]

Thanks for your answers Dan. I suppose I'l have to dive down the rabbit hole
into MLT wonderland !

I'll be looking into this in the next few weeks. Actually I think that even
the simple first step of disabling effects that don't work at the moment
would be quite useful, so I'll start off with that.
