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[Current and up-to-date] ~\\
+ \item[Cerrent 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.
Keyframes are data values that have been associated to the timeline that affect the media presentation.
You can go for years without knowing all of the nuances but you will most likely have a need to use and understand them sooner or later.
- \item[Chapter 9] Ffmpeg Interactions.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:ffmpeg_interactions}] \nameref{cha:ffmpeg_interactions}.
Skip this chapter if you are just getting started. Skip this chapter if you just want to use common
formats that are already set up for you. Experts may want to refer to this chapter in order to set up their
own option files.
- \item[Chapter 10] Effect Plugins.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:plugins}]\nameref{cha:plugins}.
Use this chapter as a reference to add an audio or video plugin in order to correct color or add some fancy effect.
You will not want to read about each and every plugin, most of which you will never use.
On the other hand, going over the section on “some specific details concerning plugins” might come in handy.
- \item[Chapter 11] Transition Plugins.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:transition_plugin}] \nameref{cha:transition_plugin}.
Everyone who does not know about using transitions should read this chapter because you will want to use transitions between cuts in your video for smoothly changing scenes.
It is short and easy reading.
- \item[Chapter 12] Overlay Modes, Alpha Blending, and Porter Duff.
+ \item[Chapter \ref{cha:overlays}] \nameref{cha:overlays} Modes, Alpha Blending, and Porter Duff.
Experts can really use the information in this chapter to spiff up their editing work through some blending type techniques.
A lot of information and possibilities are described here.
In summary, “must” reads for a new user would be these chapters or sections:
\begin{itemize}
- \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 \ref{cha:editing} \nameref{cha:editing}; read all sections except emphasize only either \nameref{sec:cut_paste_editing} or \nameref{sec:drag_drop_editing} to suit your purpose and then skim the editing mode that is not your preference as some operations work in either mode.
+ \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 \ref{cha:editing} --- \nameref{cha:editing}; read all sections except emphasize only either \nameref{sec:cut_paste_editing} or \nameref{sec:drag_drop_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 \nameref{sec:shuttle_jog_wheels_editing} section unless you have this jog wheel in hand.
- \item Chapter \ref{cha:rendering} \nameref{cha:rendering}; minimally read the \nameref{sec:single_file_rendering} section.
- \item Chapter 10 – Effect Plugins; read the section on “how to use plugins”.
- \item Chapter 11 – Transition Plugins
+ \item Chapter \ref{cha:rendering} --- \nameref{cha:rendering}; minimally read the \nameref{sec:single_file_rendering} section.
+ \item Chapter \ref{cha:plugins} --- \nameref{cha:plugins}; read the section on \nameref{sec:how_use_plugins}.
+ \item Chapter \ref{cha:transition_plugin} --- \nameref{cha:transition_plugin}.
\item Chapter 16 – Configuration, Settings and Preferences; read at least the first couple of paragraphs.
\end{itemize}
