Ugin: Thank you very much for the next build of the excellent cinelerra program.
You are welcome -- GG enjoys working on it and he says as long as 1 other person besides us uses it, that is enough! But it is discouraging to see so many Mantis Bug Tracker issues out there and there is no way to keep up without more programmers with varied expertise. Tell me, are there any download / usage statistics for cinelerra? It is
very interesting whether the number of users is increasing.
I would expect the usage is pretty stabilized and will not vary much as there are so many NLE's available -- kind of like the Operating System Distros in that the user base is spread out of so many variations. Users come and go over time and many users never interact with the website other than downloading a new version once in awhile with an automatic update. Plus more people use Windows rather than Linux. Fortunately with all of the work Sam did/does on the modernized website, that helps to attract new users when the old users get too old!! Cinelerra software is considered to be somewhat difficult to use if the use is only occasional and the human interface is thought to be a little old-fashioned.
