I also got mine from debian-multimedia.

Lumiera sounds familiar. I believe there were posts about it when I
last used Cinelerra.
Cinelerra is certainly adequate for my current needs if I can get it to
work correctly. Everything seems to work OK except that it runs at
about one frame per second. I downloaded a demo file, Burning Coals,
from the Cinelerra web site and it too ran at about one frame per
second.

Thanks for these links. I have read about Blender and will get to it
after I have mastered the elementary stuff.
