CINELERRA

Visit Cinelerra

Cinelerra.org distributes pre-built packages of Cinelerra-HV, a video editing application compiled from Heroine Virtual source. The site provides download links, extraction steps, and run instructions for Ubuntu releases, including optional NVIDIA CUDA support for performance.

Packages include Cinelerra-HV 10.1 for Ubuntu 24.04 with CUDA support and Cinelerra-HV 10.1 for Ubuntu 26.04. Each package is self-contained, requiring no system-wide installation. Users extract the archive and run a provided script or desktop file to launch the application. CUDA-enabled builds include instructions for installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers and the CUDA Toolkit. The Ubuntu 26.04 package recommends installing libjemalloc2 for stability and proprietary NVIDIA drivers for NVIDIA users.

The site is aimed at Ubuntu users who want a pre-built Cinelerra-HV package rather than compiling from source. Packages are distributed as downloadable archives; no free plan, trial, editions, or seat-based or usage-based packaging is described.
