I agree, I think one of the main problems in cinelerra is its graphical interface, icons ... is antiquated, is not very intuitive and unattractive. Lumiera's gui is great! clean... I like it. But Lumiera seems so far... I think before starting to rewrite all the code, could have been interesting solve this problem in cinelerra.
Also cinelerra's engine has problems ... and understand that these features are a long task to an independent project, Lumiera. Kdenlive and Openshot have an interesting interface, but for me cinelerra is a more advanced and professional editor. OpenShot 3d function does not seem interesting to do awful title, I think it can be much more interesting for this task directly work with blender. Lightworks in linux also seems far away... say end of 2011, but I doubt it, maybe we have before Lumiera. Subject: Re: [CinCV] cinelerra fork. From: yosep...@gmail.com To: cinelerra@skolelinux.no Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:50:06 +0100 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.

If I knew, I'd make one. Anyone interested? Hi Yosepkey, some months ago there was a bit of discussion amongst the remaining active devs of the Cinelerra-CV version (which is the topic of this mailinglist). It wasn't really conclusive, but the general tenor was that is is OK to diverge maybe a bit more from the "upstream" Version from HV. There where several ideas -- mostly it seems that active "manpower" and thus a more long-term oriented initiative beyond just fixing this and that bug is what is lacking most. Besides that, you're probably also already aware that the Lumiera project is an outgrow of an attempt to make a general overhaul and cleanup of the Cinelerra codebase, initially started as "Cinelerra-3" in 2007. Besides that -- excuse me, I'm asking just out of curiosity -- why do you especially consider to fork Cinelerra, instead of joining Openmovieeditor, KDEnlive or PiTiVi (or put any of the other promising young projects here)?

I wish some really smart programmer would write a program that could Analise a video file and tell you exactly what is wrong with it. Every now and then I do a video and there is an error in the file and I can't find it. Usually I wind up starting over again. Most of the time I don't know there is a problem untill I try to burn to DVD or upload to U-tube.
