hi there, have you guys seen this: http://www.ramenfx.org/
<http://www.ramenfx.org/>it's (was?) the replacement for the old jahshaka. currently, the project is stopped, but it seems that some blender people took interest in it, so I believe it might "reopen" soon. i haven't had the time to test it yet, because I discovered it some days ago, but it does look amazing... as for cin development, is there any chance of subscribing it for a google summer of code or anything like it, so that it could attract some dev-power? cheers, flavio 2011/1/27 Einar Rünkaru <[email protected]> > Hi. > > A few remarks > > On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 2:30 PM, Ichthyostega <[email protected]> wrote: > > yosepkey schrieb: > >> My idea is to make cinelerra more pleasing to the eye and more > functional. > > ... > >> I know that the graphical environment is internal cinelerra, but that > creates > >> problems, I think it could use qt or gtk. > > > >> OpenShot, PiTiVi and Kdenlive are based on MLT, which is fine, but I > think > >> that cinelerra is better.
