1. Start Cinelerra

After the splashscreen you will see several windows. For details please read the manual (it can be found at http://cv.cinelerra.org/docs/). The default Theme is often "S.U.V", but as "Bluedot" gives better printings, this theme is used in most of the screenshots in this HowTos.

This tutorial should show how to change the theme of Cinelerra 2.1.
