Ive looked at cinelerra as I was looking for good video editing software. I really cannot help you with the cinelerra install on fedora Im sorry. However, If you are just looking for good video editing/creating software take a look at kdenlive. Ive been using it for a few days now and find it very nice.

Hello Adolf!
You can do the follwing:

At the terminal tape as root:
1- rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
2- gedit /etc/yum.conf

At the end of the file add:
[atrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
gpgcheck=1

3- At the terminal again tape:
yum update

4- yum install cinelerra

I hoppe this can help you!

A word of caution: beware of mixing conflicting 3rd-party repos ("repo hell" syndrome), such as ATRPMs and RPMFusion: http://rpmfusion.org/FedoraThirdPartyRepos

However, there is no other reason not to use ATRPMs to get stuff like Cinelerra. You should keep one or the other(s) of conflicting repos disabled for automatic updates.

Also: here's their configuration page: http://atrpms.net/install.html

well I think I'll hold off on cinelerra for a little while, little confusing getting that one to install. I'll try again when im not such a newb at this.

Hi

You can download Cinelerra here, the F11 version works great on F12. Just extract it and copy it to the location of your choice, nothing has to be permanently installed to your system and no changes are made, just a ~/.cinelerra will be created for your settings and thats it, it runs from your extraction folder.

As Hlingler mentioned, do not use the atrpms version.

I worked through the fun of getting a working RPMFusion rpm for cinelerra - it's up here if you're interested:

I haven't had any problems with it...

Cheers,

I'm a bit unclear as to why you chose to re-build cinelerra from ATRPMs SRPM, rather than just install their pre-built binary RPM. Installing, but disabling ATRPMs repo (for automatic updates), seems easy enough to me. It can be manually enabled for one-time installs/updates (although the OP seems to be intimidated by this, which is understandable).

Basically I looked at their prebuilt binary and it looked like it was going to try to pull down a bunch of possibly conflicting packages - I've had a bad experience doing this before and I guess I'm probably overcautious with it. Building the SRPM lets me take advantage of upgrades without the potential pain of a broken package or two... and it seemed a cleaner solution I guess as well.
