About

Cinelerra is a highly advanced, professional, and free open-source non-linear video editing software, originating from the United States and primarily available for Linux. It excels in capturing, editing, and compositing, offering a robust set of features including non-destructive editing, transitions, keyframe animation, color grading, and support for 4K video. Emphasizing user privacy, it operates offline with no tracking and is designed to be portable. While users praise its 'amazing possibilities' and consider it among the 'best open source video editing programs,' it is also noted for its complexity, requiring significant effort to learn and making it less suitable for quick editing tasks, where alternatives like Avidemux might be preferred.
