That sounds very good.

>> 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.

I think "Yes, I am". But I am able to live with chaos too. For me this is like 
"Ying" and "Yang".

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.

>>What are your needs, as a potential Cinelerra user?
 
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.
 
Regards,
Erik
