It does not have a "help" menu entry. What do I read?
It's all here:
Huge manual full text, few images. I read a bit.
Ok, I load my video. If I press the "play" icon, should it play? It does not.
http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra/cinelerra.html#LOADING-FILES +++----------------- 7.2 LOADING FILES All data that you work with in Cinelerra is acquired either by recording from a device or by loading from disk. This section describes loading. The loading and playing of files is just as you would expect. Just go to file->Load, select a file for loading, and hit ok. Hit the forward play button and it should start playing, regardless of whether a progress bar has popped up. Another way to load files is to pass the filenames as arguments on the command line. This creates new tracks for every file and starts the program with all the arguments loaded. If the file is a still image, the project's attributes are not changed and the first frame of the track becomes the image. If the file has audio, Cinelerra may build an index file for it to speed up drawing. You can edit and play the file while the index file is being built. -----------------++- Well, it does not do what the manual says. It thinks for a while apparently loading the video, but refuses to play it. I guess it does not like the format, but doesn't say anything. No error displayed. No video displayed, no audio displayed, and it does not even play. If I define a new project with one video track and two audio tracks, then load a video, after loading it, resets to 4 empty audio tracks. And of course, the input video file can not be changed, it is what it is. Plays fine in vlc, mplayer, xine... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
