Wow, a really early adopter! (Or was that Broadcast2000?)
and just recently
switched to KDenlive. Cinelerra has been left to rot this past year
it seems. I don't use effects (except for color balance) and have
very few demands on a video editor. It should just cut tracks one
after the other and be able to add sound on separate tracks. However,
to do even that, I have to transcode 3 times.
Clearly unacceptable for anything but truly oddball formats.
Cinelerra must become(*) able to import aquisition formats du jour,
and that includes AVCHD. If scrubbing and seeking is too crappy
with those formats, it must create a suitable proxy _itself_, and
use that for editing (not for rendering, which is sequential, and
not realtime).
Also, reasonable output formats in high demand need to be there,
and "just work". Maybe asking for built-in DVD authoring is a bit
much, but rendering muxed MPEG-PS in _one pass_ isn't too much to
ask. Just to mention one example...
I'm willing to work on that. I don't know how, but I'm sufficiently
irked to disregard that minor shortcoming for a while...
*) and remain able to load/render mainstream formats
That means some development and testing effort from time to time.
