I have come the ends of my rope trying to find a way to import files into these editing programs. I found out that other people have had the same question I have, and that Kino doesn't accept anything but Raw DV files. Later releases might include other formats.
Cinelerra does accept jpeg, and other video files but not .avi. Of course that is the format that most digital cameras use. I learned that in Cinelerra, imported jpegs enter in as one frame so you have to expand the time line. I spent a long time wondering where my jpegs were ending up. It seems as though hair-pulling problems end up with a simple solution. Now I am one step closer. My research came to an abrupt end when the energy went out again, but this time for a couple of hours. The other students joked that someone turned on the coffee maker and there went the power. It was just the outlets and not the lights. It must have overloaded somewhere. This ended everyones work.
