Kdenlive video-editor and HW acceleration

Trying out the latest and the greatest Kdenlive 20.12.2 on my Ubuntu laptop I was delighted that HW-acceleration was working out of the box on my AMD Ryzen 4000 laptop.

Rendering is nearly twice as fast with HW-acceleration on a AMD Ryzen 4800u, no additional graphics card installed.

Using Kdenlive on flatpak, installing and updating is a breeze.
