Cinelerra is one of the best video editing software for Linux desktop. This tutorial shows you how to install Cinelerra-CV and Cinelerra-GG in Ubuntu 18.04.
Cinelerra has three branches, Official HV, CV from community, and GG which is CV + ‘Good Guy’ patches etc. See what’s difference between Cinelerra branches.
Install Cinelerra GG in Ubuntu 18.04:
Cinelerra GG has an official apt repository, though it does not work properly in my case.
You can grab the .deb package directly from the repository page:
Download Cinelerra GG (cin_xxx.deb)
Then install the package via Gdebi package installer (install Gdebi from Ubuntu Software)
(Optional) To remove the package, run command:
sudo apt-get remove --autoremove cin
Install Cinelerra CV in Ubuntu 18.04
For all current Ubuntu releases, there’s an official PPA for the latest CV package.
1. Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command to add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/ppa
Type your password (no asterisks feedback) when it prompts and hit enter to continue.
2. Then install the video editor via command:
sudo apt-get install cinelerra-cv
(Optional) To remove the package, run command:
sudo apt-get remove --autoremove cinelerra-cv
And go to Software & Updates -> Other Software tab to remove the PPA.
