The way i did it was "correct a track and render" but it introduced unecessary DV-reencoding.

you probably want to say that two edits overlap. just render them first with all the corrections you want and then use the new media files.
Hello Andraž, Hello Marcin, quite often, I got struck by this behaviour. I consider it -- not quite a bug, but rather a shortcomming of the design, i.e. the way transitions are implemented and controlled in cinelerra. Basicalliy, it forces me to render the parts withl plugins to a lossles format before setting up the transitions. (Rendering to dv or mjpeg of course is not an option because of the quality loss introduced by re-encoding). This approach works, but really can't be called a "solution": - it is destructive, wheras all editing should be non-destructive - it forces me into using a huge amount of disk space (which can get a nightmare in large projects) - it's against the natural workflow: normally, we first select the takes and try to cut, and later on, if all cuts are OK and the whole "flow" of the movie is working, we do the fine tuning. With this problem we either can't use transitions while cutting (if we need the effects, e.g. slow motion), or we can't use a preliminary version of the effects later on to be enhanced. So I think, we should open a enhancement ticket on this. What's your oppinion? Cheers, Hermann
