In my opinion, Cinelerra must be able to guess this itself.

Stefan, in looking at the performance improvements you outlined below, this one is really a HUGE improvement:   - modifying the "stacked video" (opacity 100%) to disable "Play track" in the patchbay for the tracks that you do not need to see is the winner.  I will add that to the Performance Tips section of the manual. It is a great tip for any computer, not just the smaller ones.

But in my tests "for a disabled video effect, the CPU still runs", I did not see this happening using the "top" command.  It seemed to make a nice difference in lowering the cpu when I disabled the plugin.  Maybe it is just the plugin I used? Burning Tv?  I will try some different ones.  Also I did not verify that colourspace made no difference, but I am sure you are right about that.

Thanks for this tip that we can pass along to other users via the manual. ...Phyllis

    I think have a significant opportunity to improve the Cinerella
    performance, under normal editing conditions, by n_videotracks-fold. At
    this point in time I notice that the CPU usage (decoding) for a section
    where multiple tracks are stacked, but only the top one is actually on
    screen (read opacity 100%) could be improved.

    I observe the following:

       - for a disabled video effect, the CPU still runs
       - for stacked video, the CPU still runs for both videos
       - the effect must be detached and the video below must have play
    track
         disabled to prevent the CPU to go from 20% to 150%
       - this is independent of colourspace (RGB, RGBA, YUV or YUVA)
