Hmmm. Let me ask these questions then: * what is the file format that Cinelerra is most robust with? * what file formats do the "pros" use? Is there a wide range, or is the scope restricted? * So how does Cinelerra work: when I see an image in the compositor, for example, is that a rendering of a so-called VFrame? And how is that VFrame produced - is it produced "on the fly" from the underlying file format, is it rendered from a small look-ahead cache produced from the file reader, is the whole file converted to a list of VFrames which are then just rendered as needed, or is it "none of the above"? I'm really stuck on the fundamentals. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
