I think cinelerra if ever becomes or try to be a PROFESSIONAL tool, must CHASE
and LISTEN MARKETS, I´m not of the idea that money is source of all evil...
actually, I HOPE that MATROX releases its SDK so the comunity can develop
products out of it, and in that way, when cinelerra becomes a HARDWARE/SOFTWARE
solucion, it could benefit from selling hardware or selling tech support for
companies (I work in a company where we provide equipment for tv channels and
stuff like that, and they want SUPPORT and most times buy 12 computers with
matrox hardware, that´s in the third world, what would happend if you close a
deal with editing studios out there or tv channels? maybe some kind of
CERTIFICATED TEACHING PROGRAM like blender has now, if cinelerra becomes
usable, stable and my company sells solutions based on it, they would PAY to
take me to have the certification (actually soon I could become an Adobe
Certified trainer, and they pay for that)... cinelerra IS A GREAT TOOL, but it
is being hold back because developers want to keep it OUT of markets., well you
did it CINELERRA IS NOT in the markey...but cinelerra can be free and produce A
LOT OF MONEY, but somekind of foundation may be needed, a CIN3 foundation
maybe?.
CINELERRA is a great tool but shoud become more industry friendly.
- Open Premiere, Vegas, Canopus projects, Finalcut PRO... just the clips,
not the filters, thjat would helps studios to have linux in 1 computer
CONECTING to other pcs or macs.
- have somekind of support for AfterFX filters
- EXTENSIBLY USE FREE formats:
loading xcf with layer, and allowing select which layer use or load a
layer in each track
Use blender 3D scenes to implement FX, and SAVE cinelerra layers in
blendfiles so blender user can load it in sequencer, and use CIN-MASKs or
rotoscopying A PROJECT, not just a video.
- FORGET ABOUT COMMANDLINE PARAMETERS for the user.
- ALL should be Preseteable, so user can reuse parts of a projects,
animations, masks or things like that in other projects.
- render parallely to 3GP and FLV when you render your project in sd/hd so
you cand have the render for distribution in any media at the same time.
- DVD from timeline.
those´re just ideas, listen or ignore it... no big deal, but LISTEN WHAT TE
MARKET IS SAYNG, and the market IS NOT USING LINUX.
ok, bye
there are many cool stuff that can be achieved, and cinelerra can make money
with no need of DONATIONS, if cin becomes PRO and the market responds, you can
make money in many ways, and cin-linux can´t be beaten in some for other tools.
