Cinelerra is not in the Ubuntu repositories and is, therefore, not supported here.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Cinelerra-GG
I'm trying to build a toolkit to create videos of musicians playing together as in the Chad LB video of Coltrane's "Giant Steps", but using open source tools. I would like to do this in the Ubuntu Studio environment rather than just installing AVLinux. I've done a little, including a video that merged a video track shot with a smartphone with an audio track recorded using a Zoom H4 using OpenShot; it worked well. However, OpenShot can't as far as I know allow the windowing of video streams as the audio content changes and I don't see that in KDEenlive either. One package that I have a little experience with is Cinelerra. I had previously played with Cinelerra-CV but it appears that this project has been merged with Cinelerra-GG. An attempt to install Cinelerra-GG from the cinelerra-gg.org web site failed. There are instructions to install onto 18.04 but the directory did not exist. I assume that the project has newer files under development, but I don't really know that. On a chance I ran the code that downloaded the current cinelerra5 source code from the "git" archive which worked. Much to my surprise, given the complexity of the package, configuration, compilation, and installation of cinelerra-gg succeeded using the instructions for a "shared BUILD" in the README found in the root directory of the source distribution. One warning: the compilation ran all 8 cores of my dual quad Xeon at 100% for quite a while, although other applications could be run at the same time they were definitely slowed down. It configured, compiled, and installed. Execution from a launcher also worked. I've only read in a .MOV file that I'd already created and played it, and that also worked. I'm quite a bit out of my depth as a programmer here, but I've been compiling and installing things on my FreeBSD systems for years and following that path seems to be working OK. The path used by others has been to send out a click track with charts for the rhythm section. Once the rhythm section audio is merged it is then send to the section leaders, if any and the result of that process is merged and then sent to the section members. The result of this process is then sent to the soloists and the final merge of audio tracks and video tracks is then done on something like Cinelerra. The individual recordings can be done as simply as shooting video from a smartphone but a separate recording on better equipment is of course a good idea. Mike Squires -- Michael L.
