The best I've been able to get, when opening a film, is to view the opening frame. I was expecting to be able to view all the frames -- to progress through each frame for editting. Are my expectations excessive? Also, some films just cause cinelerra to crash. One primitive film that I created via the program stopmotion, which I've posted at http://www.opseu540.info/mpg/testfilm.mpg, just causes cinelerra to crash. When I rename the file to "testfilm.avi", (speculating that perhaps I created an avi, and not an mpg file) cinelerra will at least not crash when it opens, but there are absolutely not frames to view (not even the first frame, which is what I get with other films. Perhaps my computer is too weak to run cinelerra (I have an old Pentium III, with 384 MB of RAM.) All feedback appreciated.
