I also got mine from debian-multimedia. > > I don't know what "fork" you are talking about, the program available at > debian-multimedia is the so-called "community version", as opposed to > plain Cinelerra from HeroïnVirtual.

I believe there were posts about it when I last used Cinelerra. Cinelerra is certainly adequate for my current needs if I can get it to work correctly. Everything seems to work OK except that it runs at about one frame per second. I downloaded a demo file, Burning Coals, from the Cinelerra web site and it too ran at about one frame per second. > > Depending on your needs, there's a whole range of alternatives for > non-linear video editing, like OpenMovieEditor, Kdenlive, Kino, pitivi > (don't know if it's usable now), Avidemux, Lives, EKD...
