Some of the above problems can be 'solved' by providing better/more
complete documentation/tutorials with
the program itself, i.e. educating users.
But how will this change the fact that an interlaced signal needs to be
deinterlaced,
(this may mean field-to-frames, interpolation, motion estimation...)
effects applied and re interlaced?
It won't! The task you just described is tedious to the skilled users
and totally mysterious to the newbies. And yet it is quite well-defined,
so the developers can understand what needs to be done. This is a good
example of what Cinelerra should just DO, and do it RIGHT!
Since many more Free Software users can write FAQs and tutorials than
code, "educating the users" becomes a more common solution than making
the software smarter. Ten years ago, I felt so empowered by having the
knowledge in my brain instead of inside the software. I don't feel
that way any longer. Knowing is somehow less cool than DOING.
