Welcome Lumiera!
CinelerraCV (the community developed version of Cinelerra) has announced that the new video editor they are working on will be called "Lumiera". Names were garnered from the community and voted on and "Lumiera" was the winner.
The name not only sounds slightly similar to "Cinelerra", but it also conjures up thoughts of the Lumiere Brothers who were pioneers in the film industry.
From Wikipedia: "The Lumières held their first private screening of projected motion pictures on March 22, 1895.[1] Their first public screening of movies at which admission was charged was held on December 28, 1895, at Paris's Salon Indien du Grand Café. This history-making presentation featured ten short films, including their first film, Sortie des Usines Lumière à Lyon (Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory).[2] Each film is 17 meters long, which, when hand cranked through a projector, runs approximately 46 seconds.
It is believed their first film was actually recorded that same year (1895)[3] with Léon Bouly's cinématographe device, which was patented the previous year. The cinématographe— a three-in-one device that could record, develop, and project motion pictures— was further developed by the Lumières."
Although it will probably still be quite some time before an actual release happens don't let that hold you back from getting involved now. Code development has already started and work is going on now to develop logos and other supporting material for the new editor.
The developers of the new NLE will create an optimized code base which is based upon much of the feature set of Cinelerra. Cinelerra will continue to be developed by Heroine Virtual..

Cinelerra Tutorial #1 correction..
Linear Video Editor was a device that
would use two sources, an A source and a
B source (for transitions) actually were VCR's with shuttle controls and a target recording VCR, and how you editted video was by setting tap in and out points for the recording VCR, then you would initiate an edit which
would involve the source and recording VCRs to get up
to speed, and the source and targets would wait for
point to record at, and would perform the transaction,
and turn off at the tap out point.. Imagine having to
do this for an entire show.. In college I got the opportunity (torture torture) to use one of these and
spent nights just trying to get something edited.
On top of this, the recording tape you'd have to fast forward to the end, and rewind, to make keep the timecode in sync (I think was the case), then record over the video with a pure black signal, with time code on one track of the audio..
Other things, you couldn't use 120min video tapes, you have to use tough 10-30 minute tapes bought from a special video store. 120 min consumer tapes are thinner and easier to break, also I think part of it had to do with the size of the reels in the tape, the 30 minute video tapes used reels the same size on the left and right but fairly large, consumer models would use small spindles varying the quality of the record from the beginning to the end.
That's what I can recall of the experience.. What made non-linear video editing possible is the use of digital video formats (DV) and disk-based digital video editing. Before that you'd need a linear video editing setup and a lot of patience..

Kiernan,
I used one of these devices in college, too. Ahhh the memories. The edit lists back there were actually that. Paper lists of in/out time code that you had to record so you could put everything together. Those were the days. NOT! :)

Z-cam
There is a camera company I would hope would come to market and offer a webcam for the linux community, called "Z-cam", what it does is it records video with Z-buffer information, that can be used to do things like perform virtual lighting, to create special 3D effects like make someone look like they are made of liquid metal, grow fur on a person, drop virtual water on someones head and so forth.
I really want to say the
I really want to say the most important thing right now for a open video editor is that it has to be thumbnail based like the new imovie 08. This should be very easy to accomplish, many folks have been doing this for some time in some form or another; editing on compressed files and then applying the edits to the higher definition originals...
This means less processing, and no rendering until the final render out...
An open source video editor that offered a thumbnail workflow would blast away most of the competition...
Andreas, I also saw your
Andreas,
I also saw your post on the Cinelerra mailing list :) Perhaps once Lumiera is coming along nicely this could be a "light" version. Or just an option in the preferences.
