[FM Discuss] Cinelerra Manual

[Brylie Oxley]

I got a response from the Cinelerra listserv. There is a GPL licensed
manual available to build upon:
"""
...the Cinelerra-CV online manual. Initially,
it was based on "the secrets of Cinelerra", written by the original
author.
Some years ago, this manual was set up as a wiki to be augmented and
expanded
by the community.

http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_toc.html#SEC_Contents

The wiki interface is here
http://cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php
"""

There are no images, to my knowledge, in the text, so that would be a
big part of the book sprint. 

Also, the manual is designed as a reference. While it seems thorough I
think that one or more quick chapters outlining a project based workflow
would be helpful as a foundation to the in-depth information later in
the book.

There are several tutorials on the Cinelerra website which give a
concise introduction to the key concepts.
