Cinelerra has 3 main functions: capturing, compositing, and editing audio and video with sample level accuracy. It is an integration of audio, video, and still photos using multithreading.
There are two branches of Cinelerra. One can be found at https://www.heroinewarrior.com (Cinelerra) and the other at https://cvs.cinelerra.org (Cinelerra-CV). The official Cinelerra source code is developed “upstream” by Heroine Virtual, Ltd (HV). HV shares its code base with a community version of Cinelerra (Cinelerra-CV), but does not actively participate with the community of developers responsible for Cinelerra-CV.
Cinelerra includes support for high-fidelity audio and video: it processes audio using 64 bits of precision, works in both RGBA and YUVA color spaces, using floating-point and 16-bit integer representations. It is resolution and frame rate-independent, meaning that it can support video of any speed and size.
