This requires a low level data management which is tied to the underlying OS (Posix for this). Next no one of the developers uses Windows and we don't want to support non-free OS'es. We won't reject patches if someone works on a windows port, but really, We don't care for it. Next, hermanr is absolutely right, we want a pro interface, but it should be familar and useable by novice users and people who know Cinelerra.

The GUI decision is left out for now, we concentrate on the backend. You might contribute to the Brainstorming on the wiki: http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Lumiera/GuiBrainstorming But don't expect any concrete decision made anytime soon. > > 3) Cin3 must be fast and resposive with HDV.

Read the design documentation, basically this will be handled slightly different to what cinelerra currently does. There is always something like a background render which prepares frames which will be needed. The previewer will adapt on the current hardware capabilities and users choice (render for FX, resolution, framerate, quality, ...)
