Description:

There are two types of moviegoers: producers who create new content,
going back over their content at future points for further refinement,
and consumers who want to acquire the content and watch it. Cinelerra
is not intended for consumers. Cinelerra has many features for
uncompressed content, high resolution processing, and compositing,
with very few shortcuts. Producers need these features because of the
need to retouch many generations of footage with alterations to the
format, which makes Cinelerra very complex.

Cinelerra was meant to be a Broadcast 2000 replacement.
