Don't get mad over Cinelerra poor performances, following your messages
I reinstalled it from debian-multimedia (testing in my case), and it
seems utterly broken at the time. It crashed on me a couple of times
(well, that's not unusual in my experience), and trying to work with
anything resembling to HD video results in 100% cpu usage just for video
playback, regular freezes, monstrous lag, and a whole bunch of errors
from Cinelerra internal libquicktimehv (of course on the same system
Blender works fine with the same file)... I'll try to dig in the bug
reports, the preferences and maybe try to compile another version over
the week-end, but it seems that shifting to Blender a while ago was a
sound move.
