Very excited about Cinelerra, today I wanted to make a silent short video, as an example, to upload to the YouTube channel. I made a very meticulous desktop recording, with the goal that without saying a word, anyone can understand a simple process, such as changing the speed to a clip. I know this is as easy for you as scratching a ear. But for people who start they need someone to teach them. It is a question that several readers have asked me. As usual, in me, create a new project, and as is also usual for me when loading the files, I forgot to put the selector in "Create new resources only" I had it in "Replace current project" and when loading the 3 clips that I wanted to use for this video, this they have been loaded on three different tracks. Nothing happens, I pressed z and started again. I have uploaded the files, selecting the correct option. I made the montage when it was almost finished, after adjusting a clip, Cinelerra has blocked, it did not respond. I had not saved the job, and I had to close Cinelerra, kill the application from the system monitor. When I reopened Cinelerra I went quickly to file, load backup, and well, there was my project, more or less as I had it before the crash. So far so good... from here very bad I hastened to save in case the lock happened again... and here comes the catastrophe... when pressing s, no wizard was opened to save... I was surprised, I did not remember saving... I look in the timeline window bar and I freeze, this bad joke had already happened to me the first days in Cinelerra. There it said "Cinelerra: speedChange-2020-04-20_20.25.34.webm" For the second time Cinelerra has converted a video into an xml file. All my work thrown away, my lost time ... I have pondered, and I have thought, I am currently recommending an application that can make a user lose a video that is important to him. Because of an application that still carries defects that were very common in the late 90s, but that are inconceivable in the middle of 2020. Then all my illusion has turned into disappointment. I cannot recommend or spend time with an editor who can make you lose a video in such an absurd way. It is true that in my case, it was not an important video. But what if it had been...? I am not a computer scientist nor are I proficient with Photorec ... I am only an audiovisual technician. So after thinking it over and seeing the great risk of working with Cinelerra, for the moment I take a break. If GG ever decides to fix this, please let me know, maybe I'll regain the lost illusion and keep writing tutorials. So sorry. I have already deleted myself from the youtube channel and I am going to send the latest corrections of the Spanish translation to Phyllis and take a break. Thank you very much for your good predisposition and for your kindness always with me.
