Feature request: track FX chain

[Levitanus]

Please include the following information.

1. Flowblade version (Help->About): 2.4.0
2. MLT version (Help->Runtime Environment): 6.20.0
3. Your distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint etc.): Ubuntu 20.10

I hope, it is not so impossible to make tracks be able to have own filter chain. For example, when we're dealing with multiple cameras (e.g. Track1 is camera 1 and Track2 is camera 2) it's quite intuitive and comfortable to set up the track once and forget about this. Other common case is color-correction, when I have several multi-camera sources I would like to have «hot» ready track to put each of the file on. Now it's quite easy to remove the last clip of any camera and loose the settings for it.

P.S. I think that chain should be: clip->track>compositor

We do have all the pieces available to make this happen.

I had thought about doing this, but I have lately often avoided doing features on just 'might be useful' basis but once there is a feature request I'll add this into feature queue.

The main problem with is the GUI design and current code structure, we do need to solve some non-trivial problems here so this will take a bit of time get done.

I don't think the GUI is really a problem. It can be fx indicator on the track like video or volume buttons. And, as clip — edit mode is accessed by the double click. The part I'm afraid of from the first look — is the chain itself. The base routing can take a time.

Anyway, flowblade is an amazing piece of software, I am happy to use it!
