Hi list, I'm not a developer and don't know enough technical details yet about Cinelerra and the next Luminera. But my plan is to start using them for video editing/composing on Linux.
Therefore I'll add a copy below of my email correspondence with Blackmagic Design and the reply I got back from their technical support where they say: ------------- "Now is certainly the perfect time to let us know what features might be required such as capture formats, and I can relay this to our development team." ------------- That is, what features and capture/playback file formats will be required and suited for use with Cinelerra and Luminera? Let us set up and discuss such a wishlist here. I will also post a link to to Blackmagic Design so that they can follow and read this thread on the list arhieve.
