Basically I agree with Nathan, but please keep in mind that Cinelerra is mostly interlace agnostic. If you want to do any vertical pannings or scalings, you get ugly results. Also, if you apply any animated effects or masks, interlaced material should(*) actually be rendered at double the frame rate, but Cinelerra will not do it. (*) note the 'should'; Cinelerra will still produce usable results. -- Hannes _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
