It used to - I made a large complex video before, and I loaded up the
xml project file, and everything was there except the video outputs.


Previously Cinelerra would prompt for more memory - but it doesn't now.


Any idea how I can get it to display video content?


(I am running 32 bit version of Debian).



Hi, we could use a bit of extra info here, what Debian version are you
running ? What graphic board and driver ? Where did you get Cinelerra,
debian-multimedia ? Is it Cinelerra proper or "community edition" ?

Did you try to run cinelerra from a console, see if it tells something
useful (error) ?



In answer to your questions, I am running Sid, its Cinelerra 4.2 (which I assume is the Community Edition from Debian Multimedia - but I am not sure - but a standard Debian package). Its an Intel On board Graphics GMA 950 (I think) which is driven with the X11-XV driver by Cinelerra


I got the answer on IRC late last night - I was using RGBA-Float as the color mode, and that is broken. Switch to RBBA-8bit and it works fine.
