It would make it easy to bring projects into ProTools or other DAW's for sound post work. I'm also shooting a project early next year that will be on film, and being able to have the negative conformed would be great (if I can get the cash for that). Also, in the near future it is quite likely that I will be collaborating with other editors for both personal and professional projects, most of them use FCP, a few use Sony Vegas. Being able to export my projects to something they can read would be great. About drop frame timecode... cinelerra's CMX3600 export does not supportthat since it was written for a specific project of 25 fps. Where to start... well first thing you need to have is being able tocompile cinelerra on your box.I've been editing with Cinelerra for quite some time now, so I I've got that first step. -- Matt Pfingstenwww.GotWookiee.com

[CinCVS] Contributing to Cinelerra: Where do I begin?
I'm interested in contributing to Cinelerra. My experience in programming is limited. I've done plenty of web development (amateur and semi-pro) using ASP and PHP. I'm assuming that is mere kids stuff next to C and it won't help me much. I'm mainly interested in working on adding more support for exporting and/or importing EDL formats such as:AAF (there is an app on SourceForge that can convert CMX3600EDL's to AAF)Apple's XML Interchange Format v. 1, 2, and 3. Film Cut Lists & Change Lists (I know how to make cut lists on paper and I am trained on an 16mm 8-plate Steenbeck and quite comfortable with the film editing process)Various othersDoes Cinelerra support Drop-Frame timecode? I know there was mention of this a while back when CMX3600 export was first added. I also want to try my hand at creating a new theme for Cinelerra and I have ideas for various little features that I want to try creating (like a "New Region" command similar to the one in ProTools, or a readout that displays the project's current TRT, sub-directories in Resources, etc.) Where should I start?-- Matt Pfingstenwww.GotWookiee.com
