I am in the beginning of attempting to use Cinelerra-GG under Ubuntu Studio 20.04. Hardware is an older Supermicro dual quad core Xeon 5335, 20 GB RAM, 3ware RAID, M-Audio audio card, AMD Radeon HD5500 video. In addition to my desktop we are running Studio on another desktop and two laptops. I've installed a single-user version using "git" which compiled and loaded without problems. Other than that I have loaded and viewed a project in AVI format created using OpenShot but haven't done more than that. My interest is eventually making it easier for those using Studio to use Cinelerra-GG. I know that "Cin" is running under AVLinux, but I'm already moderately comfortable with the Studio environment. I also want to use "Cin" to create group musical performances combining individual performances based on a shared timing track. (I play baritone, tenor, and alto saxes as a hobby). The projects I'm aware of use Pro Tools and Premiere, but I don't see any reason that I can't do the same with Studio, Audacity/Ardour, and Cinelerra-GG. The other use I see for some combination of Linux/Ardour/Cinelerra is as a platform for instruction at the high school and college level for institutions that can't afford the hardware and software costs of Avid's software. I must say that the manual is quite a feat in itself. It contains very detailed information about using the various tools to provide the development team with information necessary for fixing problems that appear when running under other OS versions with other versions of utilities. I'm a retired UN*X/Windows system admin; I've used a version of UN*X starting with Tandy Xenix-68K at home since 1986. I currently use Studio for my and my wife's desktops with FreeBSD on the server side. I've not done a lot of "real programming" but have been installing and debugging software on UN*X platforms for a long time. Thank you, great project. Mike Squires -- Michael L.
