To Import Custom Effects Into Kdenlive After Export Of XML Files

How to import custom effects, templates, XML, into Kdenlive? Where to find custom effects? Why are my effects not showing up? Importing effects? Where to find effects? Why are effects not working? Where are my downloaded effects? Etc.

Make sure to create the, “effects,” folder if it is not already there, as in my case:
C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\kdenlive\effects
I wanted to share after experiencing trouble with exported, and downloaded effects as well…

To be clear this works with downloading custom effects by copying, and pasting from:
C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\kdenlive\effect-templates

There is not much documentation on this online, so I thought it useful to share;

I am thoroughly enjoying testing out Kdenlive, and hope to see hardware accelerated rendering out of the experimental phase, with further compatibility.

Hi, and welcome to the community and forum.

Thanks for sharing your solution. This is also described in the official Kdenlive documentation in the Effects chapter here. Granted, it can be clearer, and the path shown is only for Linux.
