Except for some rough editing, I usually don't use Kino for editing. Is there a reason you need to use Kino for editing? As you can probably tell, I am a complete novice at video editing in LINUX. I probably don't need KINO for editing. Following up your suggestion, I just tried it. I think your advice to do the editing in Cinelerra and then using Kino to create the video file from the .dv file created by Cinelerra. There is a slider that will speed up and slow down playback in Kino, though, if that's what you need. I couldn't see a slider to control the speed of playback, unless you mean the "Shuttle", which I find to be too crude. The one on Avidemux is better. My initial comment was about creating a video file. For just that, Kino is quite adept while being relatively easy. Once you've rendered your Cinelerra project out to a .dv file, load it into Kino and use its tool to export out to whatever video file type you need. Tom King Thanks for your suggestions. I think I am beginning to see the proper workflow: load the original video into Cinelerra, do my editing, create a DV file, then load that into Kino and create my .AVI (or mpeg2) file for use elsewhere. Thanks. BTW I just looked at the tutorial "Cinelerra for Grandma", and it has improved immensely from the time I first saw it. The section on rendering has helped me a lot. I appreciate all the help and suggestions. Murray
