Let's get rid of connecting Cin-3 project with Cinelerra and keep only (useful) features in mind. There are not so many viable alternatives for serious video-editing on Linux and whatever new name will be chosen for the next project, it will catch fire if happens to fill (some of) Cin-2.1 shortcomings. Let's make Cinelerra-2.1 r.i.p. Otherwise we'll be haunted by her ghosts forever ;) Sincerely, Gour
