Hello,
well every help is welcome!
I have to say that value of exporting to other EDL formats might be
questionable. I wrote rudimentary export to CMX3600 just for the needs
of concrete director that needed that to use cinelerra in his workflow.
Now, i don't believe many people will exchange video projects between
apple suits and cinelerra... do you? What i suggest is to work just on
those import/export options that you are sure somebody will actually
need in his/hers workflow.
I would certainly like having it. It would make it easy to bring projects into ProTools or other DAW's for sound post work. I'm also shooting a project early next year that will be on film, and being able to have the negative conformed would be great (if I can get the cash for that). Also, in the near future it is quite likely that I will be collaborating with other editors for both personal and professional projects, most of them use FCP, a few use Sony Vegas. Being able to export my projects to something they can read would be great.
About drop frame timecode... cinelerra's CMX3600 export does not support
that since it was written for a specific project of 25 fps.
Where to start... well first thing you need to have is being able to
compile cinelerra on your box.
I've been editing with Cinelerra for quite some time now, so I I've got that first step.
