My opinion is that there are mainly three things that scare new users away.
The interface, people nowadays don't like interfaces with different
windows. It doesn't bother me, but I think it would be much easier to
capture new users with a single window interface.
The upload wizard, which mixes the upload of projects with that of
multimedia files. The first times I tried to work with Cinelerra here I
was already very stuck. I think this that I am commenting on now has
scared away more people than the interface of different windows. It is
absurd to try to load a file and put it on the timeline ... nobody
expects this result. In fact I do not see that in other applications
this is so. And what do people do, they spend half an hour fighting with
this, they install another editor that does not believe this early
problem and they quickly forget about Cinelerra, leaving the name of
Cinelerra in their subconscious as something bad, something to avoid.
And the third point, file browsers, are missing a favorites panel, to go
quickly from one folder to another.
Summary.
Gimp today offers the possibility of working with panels or using a
single window. Would it be easy to implement this in Cinelerra? Modern
interfaces are like this, see professional applications or even free
ones like Olive, Kdenlive ... etc ...
Make an assistant for loading projects and another for loading media.
Totally independent, because this is what most people have driven away
from Cinelerra.
Add a panel in the navigation windows that integrates with the system
folders and your favorites, or failing that, a panel where you can put
your favorites.
Of all these points, the one that seems to me that it would be more
important to change urgently so as not to scare new users away is the
media loading assistant.
Hi!
Great suggestions, Rafa.
+1 for all of them!
;)
