Thats true you need to compile it yourself....@nicu <br />Thats true you need to compile it yourself. The prebuild packages (especially the rpm packages I found) are mostly crap. <br />Ah and confuse cinelerra with cinelerra cv. I meant the cv version thats working fine here (for 2 years now) (on a debian based system though).<br /><br />So you surely need a bit of work to have a good video editing system running. But its worth it.Leszek Lesnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511702056156297126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-84295900619078085082010-03-12T16:14:32.633+02:002010-03-12T16:14:32.633+02:00Quick followup (should've checked my facts fir...Quick followup (should've checked my facts first), but there are fixed kdenlive packages available now in rpmfusion-free-updates-testingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585150917114741783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-27924057935118228452010-03-12T15:57:39.965+02:002010-03-12T15:57:39.965+02:00A fix is on the way, unfortunately, kdenlive maint...A fix is on the way, unfortunately, kdenlive maintainership is a bit in flux and rpmfusion folks have been a little slow getting it sorted out.<br /> <br />On the positive side, see also,<br />http://www.thisweekinlinux.com/2010/03/why-i-love-fedora-linux/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585150917114741783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-81309704024897368512010-03-12T12:59:55.289+02:002010-03-12T12:59:55.289+02:00It seems it was something wrong with blog comments...It seems it was something wrong with blog comments, I received this insightful advice directly, thanks killphi (still, seems like something for TODO, not for today):<br /><br />killphi wrote:<br />> I feel your pain.<br />> Although I don't have any "real" work to do, I - finally, after years - got up<br />> and looked for a usable non-linear video editor available for Fedora.
