Cinelerra is not community approved and there is no support from the developer. Donations to community websites do not fund Cinelerra development. Cinelerra is intended to be useful and fast, representing the most used features from 15 years of editing, but not compare to the leading commercial editors. To get popular, it takes making sure every feature on the leading commercial white paper has a line item on your free version, regardless of usefulness or life span.

REAL TIME PROCESSINGEver since the first time we saw Wavelab producing real time reverb and EQ in 1997, real time processing has been the cornerstone of Cinelerra development. Today, most every operation can be done in realtime, including processing of the time domain, out of order.Also, track bouncing, side chaining, and reuse of effects between multiple tracks has always been supported. Media can be played through the timeline, from the capture source.
OPENGLCinelerra supports OpenGL shaders on NVidia graphics cards. As long as the driver version happens to work, the video crunching power that was once exclusively the domain of SGI minicomputers is now yours. NVidia users can run many effects in realtime instead of rendering them. OpenGL also opens up new video resolutions, up to 4096x4096 on high end cards.
CODECSCinelerra does not support every codec ever invented, but it does support the most common WMV and FLV derivatives well enough to transcode them into a format suitable for editing. Most formats can be edited straight off the DVD, Blu-ray, or original file, without transcoding. The format that all your favorite online video networks import, H.264 video + MPEG4 audio on Quicktime, is the standard export format.
RENDER FARMFor most operations on a modern computer, you can get comfortable speed without a renderfarm. But just so you know, it's there. Renderfarm is supported for rendering and background rendering, creating a theoretically unlimited maximum speed.The biggest difference between this renderfarm and normal renderfarms is you don't need to pay for node licenses. You can keep installing nodes without paying for either the operating system or the application.
FLOATING POINTStore and retrieve images in the best possible fidelity with floating point imaging and file formats. Access OpenEXR, the official file format of Lucasfilm. Access CR2 images from Canon EOS digital cameras in floating point. Adjust color levels without losing information. Never have to guess how far out of range the colors are. Save high dynamic range intermediates for multiple steps without losing data.
64 BIT COMPUTINGSince it's Linux, it's been 64 bit compliant for years. In fact, Cinelerra is only tested in 64 bit mode. The reason is the large amount of virtual memory required for page flipping and floating point images often exceeds the limit of 32 bits.THE BIG FEATURE LISTThere are a lot more.

Cinelerra isn't just for talking about on web pages. It's for making
movies.
SCREENSHOTS
Downloads have no support or warranty and are not community approved.
Linux derivatives have become so unstable, don't be surprised if your
compiler is incompatible & the source code requires some tweeks.
SOURCE CODE tested on Ubuntu from July 2012
