Missing white balance filter?

Help/How To
1

Was the white balance filter removed at some point? I don’t seem to have it available (and it’s not in the frei0r upstream repo either).

It is working for me, and it is there:

I’m on Shotcut 26.4.30 as well (and I’m pretty sure white balance has been around for a while anyway).

I even have the files in /usr/share/shotcut/qml/filters/white/, with meta_frei0r.qml:

import QtQuick
import org.shotcut.qml

Metadata {
    type: Metadata.Filter
    name: qsTr("White Balance")
    keywords: qsTr('color correct light temperature neutral', 'search keywords for the White Balance video filter') + ' white balance #rgba #color'
    mlt_service: "frei0r.colgate"
    qml: "ui.qml"
    icon: 'icon.webp'
    isFavorite: true

But it appears you are not using our build.

Yes, I am using the Debian sid build.

I just tried with the portable tar and it’s there, so clearly it’s a build configuration issue on Debian’s end. I opened a bug report there.
