The install was generally smooth, with the exception of a minor glitch: as aac encoding is proprietary, ffmpeg does not include faac support. Doh! So, you'll need to compile and install ffmpeg with faac support from source as per these excellent instructions from Doran:

RPM Fusion Yo!
Note that you'll need both the free and non-free repositories from RPM Fusion enabled in yum. Don't use the ATrpms repos if you're going to compile from source. I've had strange system problems when I've used them in combination with the Fusion repos.
So here's the deal..
Summary Steps to Installing Cinelerra from Source
- download source code
- install dependencies for ffmpeg compile
- compile ffmpeg with faac support for fedora 12
- install rest of Cinelerra dependencies
- compile cinelerra
Detailed Steps to Installing Cinelerra from Source
1. Get the Cinelerra source code
git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git my_cinelerra
2. Install dependencies for ffmpeg compile
Feel free to use the following script (don't forget to chmod a+x it!):
yum install dirac-devel faac-devel faad2-libs gsm-* imlib2-devel lame-libs* libdc1394-devel libvdpau-devel openjpeg-devel schroedinger-devel speex-devel texi2html x264-* xvidcore-* yasm
3. Compile ffmpeg with faac support

4. Install rest of Cinelerra dependencies
Feel free to use the following script (don't forget to chmod a+x it!):
yum install gsm-devel libvorbis* libogg* libtool* libtheora* libpng* libjpeg* libtiff* esound* audiofile* libraw1394* libavc1394* freetype* fontconfig* nasm e2fsprogs* OpenEXR* fftw fftw-devel libsndfile* libiec61883* libdv* libquicktime ffmpeg xvidcore* lame lame-devel a52* faad2* x264* mjpegtools* faac* vlc*
5. Compile Cinelerra
If you used the same default directory when you downloaded the source code, cd into that directory and type:
./autogen.sh
This will build your configuration files. Next, to configure Cinelerra with default options, type:
./configure
If you want to customize your configuration, just type "./configure --help". At which point, configure will spill its guts to you about all the Secrets of Cinelerra.
Then, to compile the code, run:
make
If you have multiple processors, you can even run "make -j N" where "N" is the number of processors you have minus one.
Finally, if make was successful or you are just feeling good about yourself, go ahead and install Cinelerra:
make install
Hopefully, this post has gotten you started on your way to using Cinelerra, Linux's "50,000 watt flamethrower of multimedia of editing"
Much thanks to Jack Crossfire, our patron saint of compositing code.
