Subject: [CinCV] Introduction...
Hello World,

My name's Marcus and I'm from the UK. This is my first post.

I've become a big fan of Cinelerra in the few months I've been using it. It's a compelling reason to use Linux as far as I'm concerned! Love it! Keep up the good work.

Knowing how each and every mailing list and forum has its own netiquette I hope I don't break the rules too soon.

I have checked through the archives without much success and think I already know the answer to this one anyway, but here goes:

I've taken a bunch of video on my little compact camera at 30fps. Rendering it to PAL 25fps gives the dreaded judder. I've been reading up on this and it's a known and common problem. Having said that, is there any way in Cinelerra to reduce the impact or cleverly disguise it?

Can I ask a second question?

Again, it's a PAL thing...

I'm using the Cinelerra camera to zoom round very large photographs (and video, above). When I set the project (via Format -> Video) to PAL 4:3 aspect ratio it works fine and I can zoom about to my heart's content.

However, when I set it to PAL 16:9 not only does the camera's aspect ratio change (which I would expect) but the photograph's aspect ratio changes, too; i.e. it's all squished.

How do I set things up so that my camera is 16:9 but the photograph doesn't get squashed? Obviously when it comes to showing it on my 16:9 widescreen TV it needs to look right.

I think I am misunderstanding something fundamental, here, but I don't know what! Not sure if it's my understanding of Cinelerra or aspect ratios in general.

Thanks,


Marcus.
