I'm working on my first project (a video of a theater performance) with Cinelerra. I have been impressed with the features of Cinelerra, but it keeps locking up when I try to do simple editing operations. Sometimes splicing in a short clip causes Cinelerra to consume the CPU for 15 minutes, sometimes longer. Other times the operation completes in a second or so. Sometimes the splice never completes (or at least takes so long that I have so far not had the patience to wait it out). Sometimes the lockup also happens while moving clips on the timeline by dragging and dropping, or selecting/deselecting the 'draw track' option.
It looks to me like the symptoms of bug 210. Has there been any progress on this? The lockup occur on almost every edit operation, so the bug makes Cinelerra effectively useless for me. Should I try to check out the current SVN version? I'm using cinelerra-2.1-0.10.20061024.fc5 from FreshRPMs on Fedora Core 5 (glibc 2.4-11, Linux 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp). The machine is a 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 box with hyperthreading enabled (smp kernel). The video material is over 2 hours of dv2 format video from a miniDV camera, captured with Kino.
