Hello Hermann,

Could you please explain the syntax to apply the patch? I'm not familiar
at all with that command...

Does that mean the curves will be transformed into straight lines?

BTW, it's written in the official Cinelerra manual :

This my English isn't very good, I miss the point...

Nicolas, Paris.
