That sounds very good. > I would like to ask about a roadmap of Cinelerra CV becauseI would like to > start deeper with Cinelerra. >> How deep? (That's a very open question, on purpose ;-) ) I would like to use Cinelerra as my "only one" video editing program. So I need to go so deep as I would like to do things with Cinelerra. That means I will invest a lot of time in doing so. The good part of Cinelerra are the many tutorials and turorial videos on Youtube. I am very impressed about the power of Cinelerra. > Perhaps I could help testing or so. >> Are you the "Ordnung muss sein" type? >> Our testing would benefit from more of that attitude. I think "Yes, I am". But I am able to live with chaos too. For me this is like "Ying" and "Yang". > Over the last weeks I learned that I am spend a lot of time reporting bugsand > so on for commercial video editing products.

That is true. Perhaps there are only to few people able to fix things because of the lack of programming skills. I have the luck to be able to program in C and some C++. But that was always a hobby. However I will freshup my progamming skills and will hopefully in some time be able to look at the source code of Cinelerra too. Perhaps my skills will never fit to support the development but we will see. >>CinCV is dormant, as far as active development goes.

I only want Cinelerra to do the things right. When there is a function than it should work like expected. As an example: I want to make an export in another windows video editing program. I set all settings to mpeg and 16:9. I got an mpeg file but the file is 4:3. That are the things that makes me unhappy. So far I read Cinelerra has it problems too but these are known and there are workarounds. So I do not try to go to the codec jungle. I convert my video files to uncompressed RGB and work than with these files. I am not sure if that works everys time but until now that is very fast during playback and very fast during export on my computer. Harddrives are big and cheap so I can work in that way. If I have done all my editing I export all to uncompressed RGB and use than other tools to convert the material. So Cinelerra does his job. That is the reason why I am on the way to cinelerra.
