It will be easier for you to write Nix packages for each dependency and
for Cinelerra itself.  Roughly, a Nix package is just an expression that
automates the build process that you would do by hand; it's much simpler
to write than, e.g., and Debian package (but it's also not really the
same thing).

Thanks,
