YAY! :D Thanks, it's so nice to hear that there's a real need for something like this - I just hope it's up to scratch! :)
Cinelerra really is a great program once you understand how it works - I think being a programmer is going to stand you in great stead since it'll give you the resolve to stick with it. The problem with Cinelerra is that it does have a bit of a vicious learning curve if you don't have someone to show you the ropes, and then a lot of people never get beyond that even though once you have, it's a really solid little program. So, yeah. I urge you to persevere! The world needs more vids! :)
(And I agree completely. I never thought I'd end up in this position but the more I find out about Windows the less I like it, but somehow Macworld, while undoubtedly better built, doesn't seem like the utopia it's often painted to be either).
