Thanks for these. I've edited with Avid for 16 years (and still do in the day job, I've used Ulead Media Studio Pro, Sony Vegas and now Magix Video Pro-X for my own business. Just put Linux Mint 10 on my laptop and am intrigued. I see similarities among them all here, which is a good thing. Keep it up, I';; go back to watching now. ;-)

@MeccaVideoPro Your history is very much like my own! :-) Glad you are enjoying!

HI, lovely tutorial and "focussed" enough for me anyway. ;) Thanx for the nice work and especially for the PAL settings - surely u manage to edit that part or a subtitle and include it, if u find some time, because that command won't be top soon...

Great Job!

I have .MOD files from my Canon camcorder but Cinelerra doesn't play them. When I change the extension to .MPG or .MPEG it indexes them a MPEG and starts playing but with no sound and at a fast playback speed (even at Normal Forward). Could you help?

[vaasnaad]

@mrmahdiarnt I"m so sorry this fell through the cracks! You might want to download the .MOD file locally and convert it with mencoder (See my tuts) or WinFF - WinFF is a GUI for FFMPEG. I use it CONSTANTLY as it's way easier than command line. Plus you can save your stuff and drag and drop and convert/output multiple files at once.

@bozobozo When you add your media, there's options to concatenate to existing tracks or add to timeline, but there's also an option to create a new resource only. Make sure you're selecting that and apologies for the long response time!!

[bozobozo]

My Cinelerra did not load a "Media" folder... so all the videos I added were thrown in the timeline lol

Is that common in the newer versions? (Ubuntu 10.04)

You're just randomly showing us buttons. Stick to the task - loading a video into the program, learning what you can do on the compsitor window and when to move it into the timeline. Forget everything else! Try to stay focussed!
