The reason is, that obviously (just judging from the existing source code -- I am not the original author) Cinelerra wasn't written with that option in mind. It provides some very limited extension points (plug-ins for effects), but that's it. All the rest was thought out as a whole and works as a whole. But it is open source, after all. You can do / try / change anything you want. Moreover, Cinelerra-CV now uses the Git version management system which actively encourages a distributed and experimental proceeding. You may try out some tiny changes, other people may like them and integrate them in their version, and after some time, hopefully the whole ecosystem has been improved. Anyway, if you try to do more disruptive changes, very likely you'll find yourself in a different and somewhat strange situation, which might be difficult to understand from outside: to put it by a metaphor: you will find yourself like chasing the backlights of a huge train going on its own account. Not that this is impossible, but maybe it requires some more forethought ;-) Cheers, Hermann V. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
