+\index{multibit}
+
+To build a version that can handle 8 bit, or 10 bit, or 12 bit videos,
+a patch is provided in the \textit{thirdparty} subdirectory that needs
+to be applied to do so. Be aware that the compile will take a
+substantial amount of extra time. To apply the required patch:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=sh]
+cd location of your cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty
+patch < x265_compile_multibit.patch
+mv x265_3.5.patch* src/.
+\end{lstlisting}
+Render formats h265-10bit and h265-12bit have been provided and will
+be operational after the applied patch is compiled in.
