Professional Video Editing on Linux with Cinelerra (O'ReillyNet)
Howard Wen
reviews Cinelerra, a video editing application.
"Cinelerra includes many of the features of the pricey professional editors and some extras: real-time visual effects, FireWire input/output, render-farm capability, and even support for HDTV formats and Ogg Vorbis. The downside is that its hardware demands are quite unforgiving; the recommended configuration has a dual 2GHz Athlon system, with 1GB RAM and a 200GB hard drive."

Professional Video Editing on Linux with Cinelerra (O'ReillyNet) Posted Dec 31, 2003 20:38 UTC (Wed) by busterb (subscriber, #560) [Link] Is it just me, or is the guy who writes Cinelerra really weird? Read through some of the comments about his software on the heroinewarrior.com website. "Render like a dentist"? He seems like a pretty smart guy, but very eccentric.

Cool :-) And, as neoprene is pointing out (I think), the article has an error. The application is "Cinelerra", not "Cinerella" (which I kind of like). No dual 2GHz Athlon here. Guess I'll admire it from afar.
Professional Video Editing on Linux with Cinelerra (O'ReillyNet) Posted Jan 3, 2004 16:48 UTC (Sat) by jbronkema (subscriber, #6810) [Link] Regarding the hardware demands, those have been listed on the Cinelerra site since well before such hardware existed, so obviously it must run on somewhat less. I believe it's hyperbole intended to let people know that it'll take as much hardware as you can throw at it. I wouldn't try running it on my 500MHz K6-2, but I'll probably give it a shot on a single-processor Athlon with 512MB.
Professional Video Editing on Linux with Cinelerra (O'ReillyNet) Posted Jan 3, 2004 17:23 UTC (Sat) by Guitarman (guest, #18416) [Link] I am currently using Cinelerra on a P-III 600 MHz with 1.5 GB RAM. It runs incredible. The way the program is setup, it doesn't actually load the hi-res images into the program, but loads preview images. It uses XML for layout, which gives you great workability even with low-end machines. When it comes time to render the movie, it does so with the hi-res images and does it FAST. Plus, you can build render clusters with the software and cluster all of the old 486 machines together to get movie studio performance for cheap.
Professional Video Editing on Linux with Cinelerra (O'ReillyNet) Posted Jan 5, 2004 22:01 UTC (Mon) by forthy (guest, #1525) [Link] Probably the hardware requirements are meant as "what you want to have, once you are doing serious work", not "what you absolutely need". But then, probably the requirement would be "A rack of 16 quad-Opteron boards and a 4TB RAID array" ;-).
LiVES Posted Jan 4, 2004 2:31 UTC (Sun) by salsaman (guest, #3671) [Link] You all might be interested in my video editor as well:http://www.xs4all.nl/~salsaman/lives/ Minumum H/W requirements are a single 1.2GHz+ CPU
