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."

    but why not just get a Mac and use Final Cut Pro or something more appropriate for video editing? If it's just for home movies then iMovie + iDVD works great.

    what normally is a boring server operating system - studied in computer science classrooms, hidden in back offices

    That's funny, that boring server OS has been on my desktop since '99. Great project, but that's kind of a dumb way to start your description of it.

    How is something written in C# for mono promising? Unless your definition of promising includes a patent infringement lawsuit from Microsoft, other descriptive terms should be substituted.

    for letting us know, for once, WTF the product mentioned in TFA is about. I'd gotten good and sick of announcements that read,

    Splrq version 3.141 is out and brings considerable improvements over the previous version, 2.718! Avid users of Splrq will appreciate the new blue chrome stripes. The Splrq User Board has commented favorably here.

    You host the Wiki for (and presumably use) Cinerella? I'm amazed you'd have something as sluggish as a P400 anywhere in your house; Cinerella seems to require (or at least perfer) hardware many generations beyond that. :)
