The effect stack has been rewritten in version 0.9

Source: Kdenlive Version 0.9 of the Kdenlive open source video editor has been released, bringing usability enhancements and improvements to the effects workflow. According to its developers, the effect stack has been completely rewritten and now allows users to adjust parameters for multiple effects at the same time. These can then be grouped and the groups can be saved for use on other video clips.

For those filming using more than one camera, the update adds a new function that automatically aligns multiple video tracks using the audio streams. Additionally, an online browser for quickly finding and importing audio, graphic and video resources is now included, as is support for audio-only recording and sorting clips by date.
