No it is preferences - interface. This tab affects only interface behaviour. > How can I change fieldorder ?

Before you load your clip you must set up new project (File->New) - there is fps and field order too. Recoomeneded actions are described here: http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_14.html#SEC192 Useful is reading about motion effect http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_14.html#SEC206 > > As I am not a coder I cannot be of any help in developing Cinelerra, but > possibly I can contribute to improving the manual so that other dummy's like > me more easy learn to work with it. > > With kind regards, Gerrit > Cinelerra is not intuitively usable. I recommend always start from manuals. May be it helps.
