It's been a long road.
I've upgraded my system to an Athlon 64/gigabyte memory, and dream of dual-core and 4 gig with a couple of nodes for a small render farm. Applying multiple masks and effects to multiple tracks that are not squished down into some brutal compression scheme takes a lot of horsepower.
I've endured releases that would alternate between reading/not reading the avi files dumped from my camcorder, not to mention fresh new crashes.
And the user interface is, ummm, a minor challenge that I easily came to grips with in less than a year of playing at it.
But...
This software lets you do things. I produce small videos for the youth ministry at my church. With Cinelerra, I can use masks, I can chromakey, I can track motion, I can sweeten the color mix, I can have several videos going at once, and move them around the screen.
I can barely scratch the surface of the tool and still do more than I had ever imagined possible.
For free.
Definitely worth the effort.
