Okay, i understood before that the CV-Cinelerra team was working on a new (bottom-up) cinelerra-CV version since it is obvious that if you have to resort to an option to "restore from backup" that the product must me fundamentally flawed anyhow and the HVW team does not seem to care to remedy that, it's time to back away from that buggy software and create something new.
Anyhow, the project was known to me as the CV-Cinerella version 3 project, not as the Lumiera project. So, it seems to be renamed, but the main question might be: why is the original HVW project so flawed? Bad leadership, disrespect of the user community (and/or ego tripping) or what? Apart of the many crashes, CV-Cinelerra (v 2.1) does offer many of the things I expect from a professional Video Editor. it does has it's excentric ways compared to MainActor/Adobe Premiere, but still deliver AND because it uses XML files to create EDL files, it can be - in theory - portable to other editors as well. My only hope sofare is that the new piece of code can handle the CV-Cinelerra V2 XML files too. I have already restarted projects three times - Adobe Premiere (win32) -> MainActor (linux) -> CV-Cinelerra (linux) - I do hope that the last transition was the last one for many years to come. Those transitions meant doing it all over again. Keep up the good work, Frans de Boer.
