I hve been helping with Linux to a Friend who works as video editor and
does 3D animations for TV and he uses Blender for 3D modeling and
Jashaka for video composition and cinelerra for video editing. I'm
sending a copy of this message to him, maybe he can help you. His mail
is akumal_ at hotmail.com
