IMO below Tom'S tip using kino is one of the best way to convert
.dv into the best format you need,
I usually do my rendering from Kino; just load up the .dv file(s)
that you get
from Cinelerra and render out to whatever. Kino has some good, apparently
sane, templates for output.
I tried this. It is great for doing frame-by-frame editing.
However, I find that the
"play" function causes the movie to go too fast in Kino. Is there a
setting to
make it go in slow motion? I wish that there was a control like that on
Avidemix.
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.

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.

Hah! Yeah, it is the shuttle I'm speaking of. If you need fine-tuned
playback speed, that's not quite elegant.
I haven't seen that tutorial in a while, thanks for mentioning it.
That workflow isn't the most straightforward but it's the easiest thus
far. With Cinelerra targeting power users, rendering takes some
tweaking from my experience. I'd seen that suggestion a couple of
years back and have used it since.
Enjoy!
