I am far from a feature film editor, but I have produced some DVDs that
run between 20 minutes to over an hour. But then I only use some basic
features like rotating the frame when the source video horizon is not
horizontal, titling, and video and audio transitions, rotating and
scaling titles.
I use Kino for capture of the video from the camera.
I use Cinelerra for editing.
I use Dvdstyler for putting the parts together.
I have noticed that when I compile from source that Cinelerra has been
more stable than when I used pre-compiled packages. I am on Fedora 15
and use the Fedora and RPMFusion repositories for packages. I use this
process:
sudo yum install dirac-devel faac-devel faad2-libs gsm-*
imlib2-devel lame-libs* libdc1394-devel libvdpau-devel
openjpeg-devel schroedinger-devel speex-devel texi2html x264-*
xvidcore-* yasm gsm-devel libvorbis* libogg* libtool* libtheora*
libpng* libjpeg* libtiff* esound* audiofile* libraw1394* libavc1394*
freetype* fontconfig* nasm e2fsprogs* OpenEXR* fftw fftw-devel
libsndfile* libiec61883* libdv* libquicktime ffmpeg xvidcore* lame
lame-devel a52* faad2* x264* mjpegtools* faac* vlc*
and run
sudo ldconfig
I use git to clone the repository.
git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git cinelerra
Since Fedora 15 (and others) does not support video4linux, I have to
apply the patch to remove it from the Cinelerra source.
patch -p0 -i remove-support-v4l-buzz-3.diff
which is found here: http://bugs.cinelerra.org/ticket/949
And since I use Monty's additions, I add:
git remote add xiphmont
git://git.xiph.org/users/xiphmont/cinelerraCV.git
git remote update
Of course once you have cloned the repository, you only have to do a
git pull
I am not a git guy, but this is what I do. Someone correct me if I have
gone astray.
Then:
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-buildinfo=git/recompile --enable-opengl
make -j 3
Maybe this is all trivial, but I never found ALL of this in one place.
Now here is a key thing I have noted:
Cinelerra often crashes or hangs when I try to load a project that has
been saved with source in the Viewer Window. So my workflow now includes
closing the source in the Viewer Window before saving the project.
Whether Cinelerra still behaves this way, I do not know since I have not
left source open in the Viewer Window for quite a while.
Regards,
John
