My idea is to make cinelerra more pleasing to the eye and more functional. As an example of pleasing to the eye, OpenShot. As an example of more functional, cutting files button, more effective or better (eg the blurring of the transitions), improved file management, because the internal ffmpeg gives very bad results, and could support the external ffmpeg and quicktime for linux.
Everything I say this without knowledge, is more of an idea. I know that the graphical environment is internal cinelerra, but that creates problems, I think it could use qt or gtk. I have done something to OpenShot (an effect, but really did not do anything because they already had mlt). And OpenShot is betting very heavily on the 3D, but does not reach to the power of cinelerra on other things. OpenShot, PiTiVi and Kdenlive are based on MLT, which is fine, but I think that cinelerra is better. (is my opinion). I imagine an aspect of OpenShot, with the power of cinelerra, more 3D, and some improvements, and it would incredible. I thought it not worthwhile to complicate your life, because for simple things, you are no alternatives, and more complicated things are supposed to Lightworks will someday, I'd love to try.
