Cinelerra 2.0 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everybody-likes-video-right dept.

Eugenia writes "The best open source A/V production environment for Linux today, Cinelerra, has reached version 2.0. It sports H.264 video encoding/decoding & MPEG-4 audio encoding through Quicktime4Linux, the ability to load any MPEG or IFO file directly, the ability to import raw digital camera files through dcraw, gamma correction for raw digital camera files, better chroma key support and much more. On a similar note, the promising DIVA home video editor (written in GStreamer and Mono/GTK#) is progressing fast as well."

    Dear Slashdot crowd.. As the mantainer of the cinelerra manual wiki, which runs out of my home cable connection on a P400mhz 64 meg machine ... Please, please, please be gentle..

    You've made two tragic mistakes in your assumptions: 1. That Slashdotters actually RTFA, and 2. That Slashdotters read documentation of any kind.

    You guys look at the system requirements for this? They recommend dual Opterons.

    You know, being a lowly Computer Science major struggling to get through graduate school, I've often had dreams about making a small independent film. I've also had more realistic dreams of owning an Athlon64 system. Maybe the two dreams aren't too far off.

    One day I hope to have a masters and begin teaching, and in the mean time I'll simply write my master screen play. With high quality digital video equipment getting cheaper, one day all I'll need is a decent camera, boom mike, power Linux box and some college drama students who will work for less than minimum wage.

    Ah hell, who am I kidding. I'm way too lazy for all that.

      Uhhhh, since you didn't clarify, will you be filming the screen play you mentioned earlier or a low budget porn flick?

      `Cause I'm ready to help with a Paypal donation. For the porn flick, that is.
