Version history:
10/15/10 - Cinelerra 4.2 has arrived. View full changelog Mainly a bugfix & personal need release. Of main interest might be the "Edit->Align edits" feature, which aligns all the audio edits with the video. Then there's the keyframe spanning feature, where highlighting a region with keyframe generation on causes effect tweeks to span all the keyframes. Then there's the fact that all assets are opened in subprocesses so they don't bring down the entire program when they crash. Version 4.1 Newer faster icon buttons for selecting load mode. Blur extended to radei beyond 100 pixels. Swap channels supports OpenGL. New swap frames effect. Quicktime make_streamable utility has been ported to support some outside streams with AVC1. Most QDesign Music 2 derivatives supported. Most WMA, WMV & FLV derivatives supported through FFMPEG.These formats don't support seeking. x and backspace function in the Compositor window. Ruler and angle tool. For IEEE1394/IEC61883/DV1394 replaced timed waits with polling since pthread_cond_timedwait doesn't work in all kernels. Better table of contents generation for the MPEG decoding. 2 point motion tracking for faster rotation tracking. - Configurable x, y for search area in addition to w, h. Backed out broken keyframe editing patches. Full screen mode selects the right monitor for dual head. Title does proper alpha blending when dropshadow and fade are used but is slower. Lens aberration effect Graphic EQ. Parametric EQ now uses a logarithmic envelope. Musical note entry in the Synthesizer. FLAC audio Linear & bezier modes for curves. Outlining for Titles. Attach effects to multiple tracks simultaneously from the Audio & Video menus. Better asynchronous frame decoding. ID3 tags handled by mp3 parser. Keyframe spanning for effects & masks. - Select single point in time & it uses default keyframe generation as before. - Select a range & it copies the changed parameter to all selected keyframes. Spectrogram horizontal zoom & color

Until recently Cinelerra has been confined to hardcore Linux users who didn't mind rolling their own. An offshoot of the main project known as Cinelerra CV has made great improvements in both the stability of this prog and availability through package management in various distros. I have been trying it out for a couple of months now in both Linux Mint 4.0 and Ubuntu Studio 7.10, using the Cinelerra-Generic package with openGL support. Video newbies who've never used a NLE Editor before will find this program a little daunting, I strongly recommend downloading the well-written manual and browsing it first. The GUI of Cinelerra is unlike anything I've ever seen, used with Compiz it is quite attractive once you get used to it. It has 4 main windows consisting of a timeline, a viewer for editing clips, resources window and compositor window to display the output as formatted, It will import many types of clips but some (MPEG-2, DVD) require indexing with a 3rd party indexing tool. (I use "Seven-Gnomes" available at the Cinelerra CV site in the Links). I can directly import video clips in MJPEG format from my Canon Powershot S5 Camera and edit them with ease in Cinelerra, I then export the project as RawDV or DVavi and convert them to DVD or MPEG-4 with another program like WinFF, AviDemux or DeVeDe. Cinelerra will export to other formats but in my opinion there aren't as many options as I'd like to render the final project directly. There are a good assortment of transitions and filters to choose from and LADSPA Audio plugins can also be added if needed. In the event that the program crashes it usually is kind enough to create a backup so you can restart and reload your work. I am hesitant to compare Cinelerra to Adobe or Vegas because it does what I want and does it well so I see no need to peg it as an alternative to anything in Windows. I believe it succeeds on it's own merits. NOTE: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/ is the Cinelerra CV site, all instructions to get packages for different distros can be found there.

Broadcast2000/Cinelerra predated XdTV (xawdecode), DeVeDe and Kino too. I am just pointing this out to hopefully finally lay to rest any myth that may still linger about Linux video editing not being ready or being difficult. If Cinelerra's built-in capturing isn't working then you can use XdTV for good quality MJPEG analogue/video4linux video capture or Kino for DV/firewire capture. Contrary to what I've always heard, Cinelerra is NOT hard to use at all but to use it comfortably requires a very hi-res display or better a multi-head X display setup. You can learn how to use Cinelerra in 15 minutes or so by following Rob Fishers guide. http://www.robfisher.net/video/cinelerra1.html I've tried mailing him to update it with a reference to XdTV as an alternate video capture tool but I've received no response yet. The other omission from Robs tutorial is DeVeDe- Cinelerra 2.1 cvs is still currently incapable of rendering to MPEG2-PS (DVD format) video but this is no longer a problem thanks to DeVeDe which makes it incredibly simple to make DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs and CVDs from .dv, .avi, .mov etc. video renderings. Free, easy GNU/Linux video editing has arrived!

I used an earlier version of this software on Redhat 9 and it installed no problems. I have since switched to SuSE 9.1 and decided to give it a try again. That's when disaster struck!! There was 1 library I didn't have that was needed to run Cinellera. I installed it along with Cinellera, then the next time I booted into Linux my X Server was missing files. Being new to Linux, I was forced, after 3 hours of trying to get the files restored, to completely reinstall the OS. However, what I saw of Cinellera on Redhat really impressed me. I'm just gun shy about trying it again though!
