hi, Iīm Marcos Cabalero from Argentina, and I have replaced adobe premiere
for cinelerra for almos a year, so I want to ask:
Does anyone knows where cinelerra is going? I mean I love the speed in my
AMD64, premiere stays behind playing clips or stuff like that. but After all
this time, why am I supposed to have a 64 bit, with a 1990īs envirnoment,
come on people, I canīt still drag several clips at the same time... what is
the workaround? cut and paste silences? seems like cinelerra STILL very grab
to the Broacas2000 audio suite environment.
Why do I need to create a renderfarm, wich is a great idea, just to see thos
horrible effects, I mean, have someone use afterFX or premiere sometime? way
not make Cinelerra compatible with some other filter package? come on, even
hollywoodFX is better.
should I buy another AMD64 or a dual opteron? WHY? to have those horrible
and few EFFECTS in realtime? even kino FX looks better.
in the comunity very cool people tried to explain me thos things, but they
seems to be very focused in specific issues, and those BASIC things, are not
important in this part of the coding process, and they told me those things
are BUGs... really? bugs? or bad plannig, or even no global vision?
who runs this project? I whould really love to know where cinelerra is
going, perhaps, Iīm totally mistaked, and cinelerra 3.0 is more flexible,
with function curves, GREAT transitions, 3D effects, 3D camera Space, and
GREAR FXs, and I will say wow, but really, Is that gonna happen someday?
cinelerra 4,5, or 10?
why some lone guy can create an OPENMOVIEEDITOR, and cinelerra after all
this time, and the HD/SD/HDV, o maybe someday AVCHD and SFTUFF like that,
canīt trim clips, or move to sinc editing with music beats, or export
direcly to MPEG PS.
Premiere, can export directly to DVD, wich KINO seems to achieve, but
premiere creates the MENU, is that so hard to achieve? I can create in gimp
GREAT templates If cinelerra coul do it, but still is a missing.
someone shares my concern here? please Iīm not trying to criticize any
programmerīs job, just asking, is cinelerra going somewhere? if so... can
anyone tell me where, and if there is some estimated time to RENDER, those
improvements? when the rendering time is too long, I usually go somewhere
else to do some other thing.
Iīm creating a weekly tv show and a documentary now in cinelerra... can
other users tellme if Iīm wrong? suddenly, 200 dollars for a 32 bit of
MAINACTOR isnīt to much, but unfortunately mainactor is not in development
anymore.
I guess the PROFESSIONAL editing in linux with 64 bits platforms, was an
advantage in the past, now the 64 bit systems are very common, and the
renderfarm stuff seems expensive, and a space/energy waste too... now
cinelerra is just ANOTHER 64 bit app, wich is not as usefull than the
blender3D /sequencer , not so vaporware like jahshaka, or even so fragile as
DIVA.
should the professional be considering to buy a Apple/finalcut, or buy a
cheap PC with Matrox RTx100? cinelerra has some surprises for the average
editor? or still in the stoneAGE somehow?
please, answer, I love cinelerra and saddly have to say that is getting FAR
behind... very in the XX century.
