linux.com— The community surrounding Cinelerra, one of the premier non-linear video editors for Linux, has decided to strike off in its own direction and rewrite Cinelerra under a new codebase.

I sure hope this helps Cinelerra with its problems, since right now it's very confusing, buggy, and ugly. I find kdenlive is the only good-enough Linux editor for practial uses (yes, I've tried kino, pitivi, and avidemux).Maybe kdenlive and cinellera can get into the kind of playing-catchup rivalry that boosts development :)
For sure - a new interface is definitely needed. Not necessarily because it looks ugly (and that doesn't matter - a lot of pro apps do), but because from the screenshots I've seen, it looks pretty horrible to work with.
Well, it's actually quite nice to work with when you know how it works. I've tried it many times,and a few weeks ago I gave it a real shot. I saw that it can be used for doing real things. But the codebase is old and hard to work with -- so that's why we need a new Cinelerra. :-)

I'd like to see it running a GTK (or equivalent) interface soon. It looks too outdated.
