    Been using kdenlive for years, and it seems to be pretty unstable for large projects. Will give this a shot, thanks for the info.

      What version are you trying to compile? this post is for Cinelerra-cv version? i am working on a post to compile and install it on Fedora 27 right now, but looks like you are missing some pieces. have you met the build dependencies?

    • newlife007 says:

      I got the same error you did trying cinelerra 7, give me a bit and I will have you a fix. It has to do with x264 and either the Makefile for Quicktime or a configure parameter.
