Cinelerra Movie studio in a Linux Sand-Box
November 7th, 2006
In preparation for the open source media course that is happening tonight I built a vmware virtual appliance for running the powerful non-linear editor cinelerra in windows.
Now people stuck in windows land can take advantage of this most excellent video editing suite. Cinelerra features among many other things: Ogg Vorbis support! In other words you can edit the ogg theora files that we distribute here on metavid. To use this virtual appliance you will need the free vmware virtual machine player.
fedora-cinelerra-vm.rar (1.3GB), (save target as…we should have a torrent shortly). The root password is ‘thoughtpolice’, and user ‘cinelerra’ pass is ‘cinelerra’.
The image is a basic fedora 5 install fully updated, with cinelerra in the launch bar. It also has the vmware extensions installed but I recommend just mounting a windows network share in the vm as it seems to performs better than a “shared folder” for some reason.

oops link was broken because of back-end work… but should be working now
(there have not been too many people interested in it so we have not set up a torrent but setting up a tracker is on the todo list for future files we may release)
