helpful if instead of starting Cinelerra from its application icon, start from a window so that if there are error
messages related to the problem, they can be captured from the screen and emailed or logged. The command to run
from a window is: \texttt{<directory\_path of where you installed cinelerra>/bin/cin} -- for example if
-installed in the directory \texttt{/mnt0/build5/cinelerra-5.1}, you would execute the following command to start the program:\\
+installed in \texttt{/mnt0/build5/cinelerra-5.1}, you would execute the following command to start the program:\\
\texttt{/mnt0/build5/cinelerra-5.1/bin/cin} \\
The problem you are experiencing may be as simple as an error due to the settings in your \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5} subdirectory so you may want to first rename your current \texttt{.bcast5} in order to start with default settings. By renaming the directory instead of deleting it, you will be able to put it back and not lose all of your preferences.
