Cinelerra on Debian is running!

Today is an interesting day. I found out from my client that they didn't mail my check until Wed. We had a deal, or so I thought about my check being sent within a week. At any rate, I would be upset except that I got Cinelerra running last night.

There was some minor source building but a few debs were available. I placed the mpg I made of Dmitry Sklyarov in Cinelerra and had to do some preference tweak but other than that it worked fine. I need to now hackaway at what options and commands I have available -- in other words, learn Cinelerra to finish the documentary.

I could resubmit to MacArthur Foundation but the documentary team wants to do it on MAC OSX. Aaron suggested MAC. I wonder if he used that for his HAXXXOR film? I hadn't seen him the last time he came home because of scheduling. He's in England now. I wonder if/when he'll be coming back in... He told me he's got a second one he's working on. He keeps busy. I was going to pitch my idea of LINUXXX to him. Since I do write training content. Haha. Of course, content would be the only interest I would have in the project.

; )

At any rate, I do have Cinelerra and I'll move from there. I deal in different video content than he does! But it's nice to have a friend to talk technique with. Funny how it turned out that way. We were both in C++ together in the late 90s.
