I've had problems loading bulk files into Cinelerra as well. Try this. In a console start Cinelerra, go to file, select New. Popup will ask for parameters. Top left is Presets. Select NTSC and bottom right is Color Model select YUV 8 bit. Now save the file with your project name.
Try loading just one file as New resources only. Double click it and it should appear in the viewer window. On the timeline toolbar select drag and drop mode (the arrow). Drag the clip from the assets window to the timeline and make sure it shows up on the compositor window. If all is good save the file and start adding assets in smaller numbers, say 5 at a time. That should tell you if everything is ok from console errors etc. ciao Daniel On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 3:05 AM, Adam B <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the quick replies, flavio and Frans.
