As far as I am aware Alpha Manipulation effects are allways used in combination with a composite transition. This because Alpha manipulation is to do with manipulating the so called "alpha-channel" of images and videos. The Alpha channel is data that describes how two images are to be combined (or composited) into one. So you need a composite transition on the timeline to tell Kdenlive that you are compsiting the videos from two different tracks into one image.
