the installation of Cinelerra seems to be confusing to new Linux (Mint) users. Many people want to use Cinelerra because it's very powerful and is nearly the only PROFESSIONAL video editing software. A little notice: For professional video editing you should use a combination of for example Kino and Cinelerra. That's why I'll explain how you can install Kino, too.
What we do here is installing the Cinelerra community version (CV) http://cinelerra.org/. There are no real difference to the "normal" version for the end-user. The CV-team just made it easier to setup the software.
1. Adding the PPA repository to Linux Mint
Adding a PPA repository to Linux Mint means that you expand the synaptic software pool from your OS. In our case we give Linux Mint the possibility to install cinelerra. We have to tell the OS where he can find the needed files.
Adding the PPA goes like this:
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/ppa
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
2. Installing Cinelerra
Now Linux Mint knows where it can find the Cinelerra package to install the software. So we just have to do the common command:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install cinelerra
3. Installing Kino
As I said before you also have to install Kino to do professional video editing. That's why you have to run:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install kino
That's it.
Know you should have two buttons in your menu in the categorie "multimedia".
Have fun!
