Raffaella, Thank you for your reply. There still must be something that I am missing with respect to how to use Cinelerra. I read the complete article at http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/ but I am still confused. I am using Kubuntu (not Ubuntu) -- does this make any difference?
I think I understand everything I am supposed to do up to the point where, after editing, I want to save/create a video file. I assumed that I should do Render, select an output destination and an output file format from the drop down menu, and go. OK, I happened to choose AVI (which is one of the options recommended in the HOW TO). Depending upon the size of the project, this can take quite a while. I can see the progress bar moving from 0% until finally it reaches 100%. At that point, Cinelerra just "dies", and no file was generated anywhere. This is what has happened on every computer I have tried, and with Kubuntu 7.x, 8.04, 8.10 and Studio Ubuntu 8.10. Is it possible that I am missing some component or some other software that Cinelerra needs? This is where I am completely stuck. Is there something that I do not understand, and am doing incorrectly? Have I got some setting wrong? Or is there something wrong with Cinelerra on my computer? Or do I just not understand what I am supposed to be doing?
