This tutorial shows how to install Cinelerra video editor in current Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04.<\/p>\n

Cinelerra is a free open-source video editor for Linux. It supports advanced composition operations such as keying and mattes, and many other professional functions depending on the variant.<\/p>\n

Cinelerra has a few variants, including GG, CV, HV. The GG variant, which supports up to 8K video, and can also create DVDs and Blu-rays, is presently under active development and the only one that works in my case in current Ubuntu releases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Download & Install Cinelerra GG<\/h3>\n

The GG edition now provides the official binary package for AppImage package.<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Ubuntu does not support AppImage out-of-the-box since 22.04. To enable it, press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/code> on keyboard to open terminal, then run command:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install libfuse2<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2.<\/b> Then, select download the latest version of the AppImage from its website:<\/p>\n
\n
Download Cinelerra GG<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Scroll down in that page and click download the latest package. At the moment of writing, it’s “CinGG-20240229-x86_64.AppImage<\/em>” (for modern Intel\/AMD CPUs).<\/p>\n
3.<\/b> After downloaded the package, right-click on it in file manager, then click go to its “Properties<\/b>” dialog.<\/p>\n
Next, navigate to Permissions<\/i> tab and click enable “Allow executing file as program”. Finally, click Run the AppImage file to launch the video editor:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
4. Create an App icon for Cinelerra<\/b>.<\/p>\n
If you want to launch the video editor from start menu or Gnome ‘Show Apps’ screen just like other normal apps. Then, click launch text editor first.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
When text editor opens, create a new empty file (if it does not open a new one), then write following lines into it:<\/p>\n
[Desktop Entry]\r\nName=Cinelerra GG\r\nComment=MultiMedia Editor\r\nCategories=AudioVideo;AudioVideoEditing;\r\nEncoding=UTF-8\r\nExec=\/home\/ji\/Apps\/CinGG-20240229-x86_64.AppImage<\/b>\r\nIcon=Cinelerra\r\nTerminal=false\r\nType=Application<\/pre>\n
IMPORTANT: In the lines above, you need to replace the value for “Exec”! In my case, I moved the AppImage file into my custom “Apps” folder in user home. So, it’s “\/home\/username\/Apps\/file-name.AppImage”. You have to change it to yours!<\/b><\/p>\n
And for icon, you need to download one from web. Either .png or .svg file. Re-name to Cinelerra.png<\/code> (or Cinelerra.svg<\/code> depends on image type), and put it to “.local\/share\/icons” directory.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
When done editing the text file, click “save” (or save as), then select save the file to .local\/share\/applications<\/b> directory, whatever name as you want with “.desktop” extension.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
If everything’s done properly, you’re able to search for and launch the video editor from menu a few moments later.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Uninstall Cinelerra GG<\/h3>\n
To uninstall the video editor, just delete the .AppImage file from your file manager. Then, also remove the .desktop<\/code> file from ‘.local\/share\/applications’ directory, as well as the icon file from ‘.local\/share\/icons’.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
