Hum you can release that with FFmpeg because it is MLT who do it. FFmpeg is used for the exportation.

I know this project (created by anubis4d an Argentinian) . It is some FX filters that you can use with Open Movie Editor.
Hum how to explain that ?
All the transitions come from MlT and (it is a picture) we call them using it in Openshot.

FFmpeg is in the two cases the tool for the exportation not for the effects (here, like use it is Frei0r-plugins) and the transitions.
So you can not use it for create some transitions.

Ok, thank you for help me to understanding
PS: Will we see, in a future, 3d transition for openshot?
PS: Wich news will we have with openshot 1.2? I am curious!

The both. In fact, the motor of Openshot is the framework video MLT and melt is a part of MLT. FFmpeg is used for the exportation.
For a editor vieo you must use a framework video and it exists at my knowledges tree frameworks video : MLT, Gnonlin of the Framework multimedia GStreamer and the Openlibrairies (Jahshaka now CineFX).
