Presented briefly here is an overview of Cinelerra-GG Infinity and information provided in this manual.
The Cinfinity set of plugin icons come in square or roundish versions --- your choice.
In keeping up with the current expectation of users for a certain “look and feel”, a very modern Neophyte theme recent addition provides an alternative to the already existing 9 themes.
These 10 themes give the user the choice to get the look they like best for their own eyes.
- \item[Cerrent and up-to-date] ~\\
+ \item[Current and up-to-date] ~\\
For today’s software, included thirdparty libraries are kept up to date in a timely manner and effort is made to always used a relatively recent version of FFmpeg, if not the latest.
This is a big deal because there is a whole set of separate programmers continuously working diligently to cover all of the old and newly created formats.
Thus Cinelerra programmers can be dedicated to working solely on Cinelerra rather than just trying to keep up with many formats.

Below is listed a brief overview of each chapter to help you to decide which chapters you should pay the most attention to and read more thoroughly.
And which chapters are important for beginning to learn to use Cinelerra-GG. At the end of the descriptions is a list of the sections to read for beginners.
\begin{description}
- \item[Chapter 2 ] \nameref{cha:Instalation}.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:Instalation} ] \nameref{cha:Instalation}.
If you just want to get started using the program, you can safely skip this chapter and instead go to:
\url{https://www.cinelerra-gg.org}
and simply download a pre-built linux version for your Operating System. If you would like to do your own builds so that you always have the latest, refer to this chapter to learn how.
But if you are already familiar with doing your own builds, you can just refer to this chapter if you encounter issues.
- \item[Chapter 3 ] The 4+ Windows.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:the_4_windows} ] \nameref{cha:the_4_windows}.
It is important to understand the window setup in Cinelerra-GG and what each of them is used for.
In addition this chapter covers some basic navigation functions that you will need to know.
However, if you have used an NLE before and don’t mind experimenting to learn how to execute certain functions, probably there is no need to peruse this chapter.
- \item[Chapter 4 ] – Project and Media Attributes.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:project_and_media_attributes}] \nameref{cha:project_and_media_attributes}.
This chapter is helpful for basic understanding of setting up your session but it can easily be skipped.
- \item[Chapter 5] Load, Save, and the EDL.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:load_save_and_the_EDL}] \nameref{cha:load_save_and_the_EDL}.
Since this is important to not losing your work, you should read this chapter for some basic usage concepts and for some lesser used functions that may come in handy.
Besides how to Load and Save files, there is also information on using raw camera formats.
In summary, “must” reads for a new user would be these chapters or sections:
\begin{itemize}
- \item Chapter 3 - The 4+ Windows
- \item Chapter 5 - Load, Save, and the EDL
+ \item Chapter \ref{cha:the_4_windows} \nameref{cha:the_4_windows}.
+ \item Chapter \ref{cha:load_save_and_the_EDL} \nameref{cha:load_save_and_the_EDL}.
\item Chapter 6 - Editing; read all sections except emphasize only either Cut\&Paste or Drag\&Drop
\item editing to suit your purpose and then skim the editing mode that is not your preference as some operations work in either mode. Skip the Shuttle section unless you have this jog wheel in hand.
