\item[\textit{OSS}] was one of the first Linux sound drivers and has an open source implementation with many sound cards supported.
\item[\textit{OSS Envy24}] is the commercial version of OSS with a variant for $24 bit 96 KHz$ sound cards. This variant required changes to the way the sound drivers were used and so needed a different driver.
\item[\textit{Raw 1394, DV 1394, IEC 61883}] are older audio drivers used by camcorders and not much else.
+ \item[Pulseaudio] Extends the functionality of ALSA. It is a more modern and highly supported driver.

\item[Device] with the down arrow, you can see the device choices on your computer.
\item[Bits] 8, 16 or 24 Bit Linear are the current choices for the number of bits of precision Cinelerra should set the device for. The meaning of the number of bits can be misleading. Some sound drivers need to be set to 32 bits to perform 24 bit playback and will not play anything when set to 24 bits. Other sound drivers need to be set to 24 bits for 24 bit playback.

\item[Play every frame] this causes every frame of video to be displayed even if it means that the playback of the video tracks fall behind. Most likely you will want this enabled because, after all, in order to edit you want to see each frame. However, if you are just watching a big video, you can switch to not play every frame so that you can at least not be distracted by slowness.
\item[Framerate achieved] the number of frames per second being displayed during playback. This is updated during playback only. The goal is to get as close to the frame rate as possible, even if Play every frame is not enabled.
- \item[Scaling equation] Enlarge / Reduce -- this algorithm is used when video playback involves scaling or translation. This does not affect $1:1$ playback. Choices available are:

\begin{description}
\item[\textit{Nearest Neighbor / Nearest Neighbor}] low quality output with fast playback. Often produces jagged edges and uneven motion.
\item[\textit{Bicubic / Bicubic}] Bicubic interpolation is used for both enlarging and reducing, enlarging blurs slightly but does not show stair step artifacts.
\item[\textit{Bilinear / Bilinear}] when slight enlargement is needed, a bilinear enlargement looks better than a bicubic enlargement. Bilinear uses less CPU than either Bicubic or Lanczos.
\item[\textit{Lanczos / Lanczos}] is not necessarily a general purpose upscaler, but is intended for low resolution sources. However many people like the sharpening effects. More quality from Lanczos does take more CPU.

- \item[DVD subtitle to display] DVD IFO files usually contain subtitle tracks. These must be decoded with the MPEG decoder. Select Enable subtitles to enable subtitle decoding. There are usually multiple subtitle tracks indexed by number and starting from 0. Enter the index number of the subtitle track to be decoded in the \textit{DVD Subtitle to display} text box or use the tumbler to increase the index value. Go to the asset corresponding to the MPEG file in the \texttt{Resources} window and right click. Click on \texttt{Info}. The number of subtitle tracks is shown at the bottom.

\item[File Format] this determines the output file format for recordings. It depends heavily on the type of driver used. The menu selections are the same as those of the rendering interface.
\item[Record audio tracks] toggle must be enabled to record audio.
- \item[Record video tracks] toggle must be enabled to record video. The wrench button left of both the audio and video tracks toggle, opens a configuration dialog in order to set the compression scheme (codec) for each audio and video output stream. The audio and video is wrapped in a container format defined by the \texttt{File Format} menu. Different wrappers may record audio only, video only, or both. Some video drivers can only record to a certain container. If the video driver is changed, the file format may be updated to give the supported output. If you change the file format to an unsupported format, it may not work with the video driver.

\item[trap sigSEGV] always enable this so that if Cinelerra crashes, a dump will be generated for analysis.
- \item[trap sigINT] always enable this so that you can use \texttt{Ctrl-c} to interrupt the program if it appears to be hanging. This will often generate some useful information for analysis.
- \item[Use yuv420p dvd interlace format] for DVD media this option maintains the interlacing in Chroma sample addressing, which ordinarily would be deleted because the upsampling of interlaced chroma fields is normally done using a progressive algorithm. With this mode enabled, the MPEG decoder uses a different algorithm for interlaced frames so that the $4:2:0$ format chroma interlacing is preserved.

\item[Min / Max DB for meter] \textit{Min DB} is useful because some sound sources have a lower noise threshold than others. Everything below the noise threshold is meaningless. This option sets the meters to clip below a certain level. \textit{Max DB} sets the maximum sound level represented by the sound meters. This value is presented merely to show how far over the limit a sound wave is. No matter what this value is, no sound card can play sound over 0 dB.
- \item[Import images with a duration of \# seconds] when you load single images, like \texttt{png} or \texttt{jpeg}, automatically load for \# number of seconds. This makes it easier to see an image on the timeline. If you just want the single frames, uncheck this option.

When you make a selection, that area becomes an inverse image which by default becomes a whitish color. You can set it to a different color by modifying the hex value in the box next to \texttt{Highlight inversion color}. Keep in mind that if you set the value to a low value, you will not be able to see the outlined selected area (for example the hex value \texttt{f} is not readily visible and leads to confusion). A leading 0 or blank is not allowed and will be automatically changed to \texttt{ffffff}.

\item[Show tip of the day] if checked, a tip will be displayed in a popup box when start up Cinelerra.
\item[Autocolor assets] to make it visually easier to see your clips on the timeline that are from the same media file, you can have them automatically colored. Use of this feature requires additional memory and cpu on every timeline redraw, therefore smaller computers may not want this checked on.
- \item[ffmpeg probe warns rebuild indexes] this warning is very important for switching from using ffmpeg to using native formats, such as in the case of MPEG, so that you are reminded to \textit{rebuild indexes}. If you do not rebuild the indexes, seeking on the timeline back and forth could very well be problematic, meaning it might not go to the right place. Notification about rebuilding the indexes will appear by default as shown in the figure~\ref{fig:ff_probe} when you click on the FF icon in the main timeline in the upper right hand corner. Once you click on \texttt{Don’t show this warning again} you will no longer be warned and this flag will no longer be enabled.

\item[Timeline Rectify Audio] for displaying rectified audio on the timeline instead of a standard audio waveform, check this flag. The waveform is cut on the zero line, thus making the silent areas more visible and the waveform is stretched more over the entire height of the audio track, which improves the visibility of certain areas. This only affects the timeline and not any other audio waveform displays.

Environment variables are global variables in the shell which all applications can read. They are set with a command like \texttt{set VARIABLE=value} or \texttt{export VARIABLE=value}. Environment variables can be viewed with a command like \texttt{env}. The values set can be removed with \texttt{unset VARIABLE}.
-The following exported variables can be set to customize your environment. The \texttt{CIN\_CONFIG} variable could be extremely useful for testing purposes or for multiple users sharing the same home directory who would like different default preference settings.
