Cinelerra is lacking lots of features everyone would just take for granted. Cinelerra has many features that look clever, but few features are realy clever. Frankly, Cinelerra is not that sort of program I would show a newbee to impress him "how brilliant open source is". But it IS working and you can get quite advanced stuff done using cinelerra.. its main strengthes beeing rather in the video/compositing engine and not in the GUI. Another important point is IMHO that the session file is just plain XML (and not a proprietary closed binary file), so you can always see what is going on, sometimes hand-repair broken sessions to save hours of work (which would be in vain if the broken session was a binary file) -- and you can process it with external tools and scripts to help with missing features. To get this so called "proxy editing" working, in our project (HDV) we found the soulution to use some homebrew python script; this reads the session xml file and can exchange the reference to the full res footage with some other reference to the same footage in low resolution. Thanks to Marcin Kostur, there is now a section in the manual on this workflow (and you can find my python script there)... http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_20.html#SEC297 regards, Hermann Vosseler -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGM3sKZbZrB6HelLIRAhaLAJ99CcU3qcagRwCnPKohZXCKBTJa+wCdHrxw Opg4YTO0pDbZdB0Y6zeErTI= =d5At -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
