You may use this website and its associated services (mailing list, bug tracker, forum, downloads, uploads) for their intended purposes. The following are not permitted: automated scraping at a scale that impairs operation, denial-of-service attempts, exploiting security vulnerabilities, and uploading unlawful or harmful content.
No warranty
Cinelerra-GG and this website are provided "as is" and "as available" without any express or implied warranty. The project contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of the software or services — to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Trademarks and project lineage
"Cinelerra" was originally developed by Adam Williams at Heroine Virtual. Cinelerra-GG is an independent community-driven fork and has no formal relationship with the original Heroine Virtual version. The "GG" suffix is used to distinguish it clearly.
External links and content
This website links to external content such as repositories, forums and sister projects. The respective providers of linked external sites are solely responsible for their content. Please refer to their own terms of use and privacy policies.
Community conduct
Participants in the Cinelerra-GG community (mailing list, forum, bug tracker and other channels) are expected to communicate respectfully and constructively. Harassment, spam, targeted provocation and similar behaviour are not tolerated. Moderators reserve the right to take action up to and including account or list bans.
Changes to these terms
We may adapt these terms when the project or legal requirements change. The current version is available on this page. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms. For questions, please contact [email protected].
