Proposal: Anyone able to help port shotcut frei0r plugins to frei0r to be available in Kdenlive?

Any kdenlive devs available to help port bigSh0t (A collection of frei0r plugins for VR video, with support for Shotcut.) to frie0r? Then we could have them in Kdenlive as well.

See import bigsh0t · Issue #182 · dyne/frei0r · GitHub

They are already available in Kdenlive:

Oh wow. Totally missed that. I guess the upstream ticket is asking to port them so they are available in frei0r itself?

Well, they may not be available in frei0r but they are in MLT:

MLT is labeling them as frei0r and therefore I created the XML files for them referencing frei0r and using the filter creator’s web documentation as guidance.

And with Shotcut being the frontend for MLT the filters are available there as well …

They are frei0r plugins (they use its plugin API and can be used by anything that uses frei0r), they just aren’t maintained or shipped by frei0r.

Which is none of our business or concern, if they work for our users we can just pull them (like any other 3rd party plugin using one of the ‘standard’ architectures) directly from their maintainer or the distro packages created from that source.

I’m not seeing anything we need to change or do here.

Agreed.

@luzpaz: Can we flag this as solved?
