Which version of cinelerra are you using (community or HV, and if community, which SVN revision number).

In the latest version of cinelerra-CV, the automation ranges have recently been fixed (within the last few weeks)

if you are using an older version of cinelerra-CV ensure that your automation range, (the textbox to the left of the "Selection Start" box) is 0-100 when editing video. if it is say 0-700, the fade curve could possibly be cycling through 7 times, (though I doubt that would be the result, depends on the color model, and in my experience pumping the gain of video to cause it to wrap-around rather than smoothly fade).
Definition:
wrap-around
- when a signal multiplied by a gain exceeds the valid output range, and (in the computer) is wrapped around (i.e. a value of 257 for a range of 0-256 would be come 1)

and example:

Consider a video signal that was recorded dimly such that no level ever exceeded 128, (whilst the range for color is 0-256). If one applied a gain of 200 % to the track, this would cause the output video range to never exceeed 256 which is valid and keeps the output signal within the . But if the user applied a gain of 210 % then the video pixels with an amplitude of 128 would be 269, but wrap-around (within the computer) would result in this becoming 13 (= 269-256). But this is only for that specific pixel!

P.S. I haven't seen many videos that are recorded that dimly!!

Thanks Nicolas.
If I reposition it vertically I'll move the whole flat curve. At the
bottom end of the track I'll get a dark image, at the top end I'll get a
bright one. But in between I'll have 7 (seven!) cycles of dark to bright
image. What's for?
Could you show us a screenshot?
Not without hours of learning.
In the video track I set the white line shaped like this:
         ________
        /
_______/

with the beginning at the bottom border of the video track and the end
at the top border. I used all the available space, the maximum height.
If I playback the timeline I see the blinking effect in the compositor
(if I play it slow I can see the cycles).

I tried it again with another footage.
The mouse cursor never changed shape over the white line.
I had to launch Cinelerra 3 time before being obeyed. I had 25 light cycles this time.

Something funny is going on here...
What do you think?

Ciao Raffaella
