Though I do find the choice of using Cinelerra to edit the video a bit odd. Apparently there was an update to the project less than a year ago but I have personally never even been able to even import a video without it crashing.
Using something like OpenShot, KDenLive or PiTiVi or even Blender only makes sense to me.
But Cinelerra obviously worked out for them; the productions are absolutely spectacular. Loved every bit of this one. The clearest explanation one could hope to get.
- xiphmont 14y agoThe sad truth is that all the open source video editors are like that depending on what you're doing (with the possible exception of OpenShot, which I found to be reliable but limited). In short, I found no FOSS video editor that did what I needed reliably out of the box. Given that problem, Cinelerra at least came close, the code was readable, and the design sound. Its biggest problem is that its file loaders/exporters are all old and bitrotting so they have become unreliable and crash-prone. For my stuff, I use raw video and so don't hit those problems. In the process of making Episode 2, I wrote a new compositor resampler and a new color grading filter for Cinelerra (named Blue Banana). These should be appearing officially in the next major release. I hope to have some more file loader work done by then too :-)
