I was about to start a thread on this very subject. I am really interested in Elphel workflow as well particularly their upcoming 3d head. I'm shooting a 3d project in Feb. and as much as I would love to use my beloved Cinelerra the architecture is not there . I think someone may have already done a big chunk of this if I'm not mistaken (IANAP) This was posted to the list awhile back by the developer who was looking for input to porting it to Cinelerra: http://code.google.com/p/opencinematools/ Including 3d support as well.
My work flow will be: Camera 1 : Panasonic hdc-sdt750 3d camera using hdmi out (Interlaced 3d) Minix 785G Mini ITX amd mobo w/dual (automotive 12v) M4atx 250w power supplies, 4 ch raid0 8 TB array. XFS filesytem. Debian Stable . Black Magic Intensity Pro Capture with Media Express. ProFTP and Samba serve FCP :-( This rig is built and working. If anyone wants any test footage let me know. The camera natively records avchd on sd cards. not using for this project. Camera 2: (Under Construction) (Page Flip 3d) Dual Red Cameras on Beamsplitter Rig. Blackmagic Deck Link Extreme 3d capture, Dual SDI Minix 890GX-USB3 Mini-ITX Board, dual M4ATX 250w ps, 4 ch Raid0 8 TB xfs array. Debian Stable. ProFTP and Samba serve FCP :-( Animation and Compositing, Blender, Gimp The problem with Cinelerra and true digital cinema spec is the inability to conveniently work with proxies. I've used the proxie workflow as mentioned in the docs with limited success but it felt like a black art. It has to have a gui widget. For 3d workflow there are a lot of commercial plugins for fcp et all here's a good example: http://www.dashwoodcinemasolutions.com/stereo3dtoolboxle.php http://techblog.cineform.com/?p=1263 If anyone wants to make a stab at implementing an opencimeatools plugin for Cinelerra I would be willing to throw some cash at it.... I don't have a big budget but I'll throw 200.00 usd now for a starting stab at it. Contact me off list if interested djircik at gmail dot com. A good reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Initiatives In case you were wondering, it's a Musical with a happy ending and a spectacular finale by an American Jazz Master. It's called Foam . Ssh you didn't here it here.
