"Cinelerra CV is an open-source non-linear video editor and is one of
those incredible pieces of software that you just cannot believe is
free... but that is part of the problem. 64 Studio cannot include it as
part of the distribution because it has too many patent encumbered
dependencies. But not to worry, if you install it yourself from other
sources it is yours to use as you please! And this is that story..." -
