As per title, does anyone use cinelerra to edit his videos?
I am going to use cinelerra as editor for my documentary and it would be nice if someone here used it, we could share tips and so on.
For those who do not know cinelerra is the closest thing to professional software you can get for free (lightworks basic edition is free as well but crippled in fact of export formats so not very useful for professionals) on a linux box. It was developed in the late 90s by an indie software house.
It has a "particular" interface but after playing with it around it is not hard to understand how it works. Cinelerra cv (community version, the "most realiable version") was known for crashing and having troubles with formats, however a new project cinelerra.org started months ago, and they just released Cinelerra 5.0 with a support for a wide range of formats and less crashes.
Cinelerra works only on linux, but it imo it is a good alternative to professional (and expensive) software, if someone runs a linux box it is worth trying it!
