[CinCVS] beauty in Bands

[Douglas Pollard]

   I would first like to say that I am not a programmer or proffesional 
video maker.  Most of my video has been done in Premeire because I 
understand it.but I have Cinelerra on my machine in Ubuntu as well.  I 
have been learning Cinelerra and am feeling more am feeling more 
comfortable with it all the time.  With the talk of rewriting going on I 
am a little afraid that some of it may make it more  like Premeire. 
   By using bands to pan, zoom and go transparent , brightness and do 
all these same things with sound I find the use of Cinelerra much more 
of an art form.  By watching the peaks, dips and curves of those bands 
in the timeline I get a visual representation.  The Video and sounds I 
am building. remind me when looking at the time line is much like 
reading music. I find myself sometime swaying slightly in my chair while 
reading across them in the timeline.
     I hope that in any rewrite this visual representaion is not 
diminished   If anything I would like this ability to see the effects 
this way increased. I find Premeire much less artful and would hate to 
see Cinelerra go this same route.
       I like the Cimphony sounding names as that is how I think of 
building video in Cinelerra,  as though writing a syphony. I didn't put 
this in the voteing thread as it is not really a vote.
                                                                       
                   Doug
