How do I install Cinelerra 4.4?

Question

Where I can found a ready-made Cinelerra 4.4 .deb package to install ? Im not an expert to compile everything and resolving all dependencies on my own.

Answer 1

OK, first of all, Cinelerra has 2 versions:

1. Comunity maintained version called cinelerra-cv which the last update was in November 13, 2011 and in the Git repositories 24 Sep 2012. Quite old.
2. Heroine Virtual LTD maintained, which from now I will call cinelerra-hw. Last updated July 9, 2012. Still old.

Ubuntu repositories includes cinelerra-cv package in the repositories while cinelerra-hw seems no were to be found. Or so it seems. In the launchpad page of cinelerra-cv there is a note that reads:

Experimental builds of Cinelerra based on the upstream Heroine Warrior release (4.4) are available here:

https://launchpad.net/~cinelerra-ppa/+archive/cinelerra-hw

So, we only need to sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/cinelerra-hw and ready. Please note: This ppa provides EXPERIMENTAL and therefore untested builds for the upstream release of audio and video editor Cinelerra (v. 4.4). Any problems with the installation and use goes for your own accord. If you need stability use cinelerra-cv or use the fork lumiera.

Answer 2

In a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), run these commands to install it from the Cinelerra PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinelerra-cv

I don't have a .deb for you, but here are some easy to follow instructions for compiling Cinelerra 4.4. There is a good chance that these steps will work for you:

EDIT: Just found this page with a bunch of debs. I have not tried them myself yet.
