CinePaint Team

 

CinePaint's people make CinePaint what it is. A big thank you to our contributors who make CinePaint development possible!

CinePaint is a way I contribute to open source software development. I'm a partner at motion picture technology company MovieEditor.com, a contributing editor for Linux Journal and speak at conferences in the U.S and abroad. I've worked at DreamWorks Animation and NBC-TV.

CinePaint Secret Developers

CinePaint was orignally developed as secret open source software. Do not expect any news on studio CinePaint development until after the code is delivered as open source to CinePaint. Studio developers working in secret is standard for the industry.

Graduate students doing thesis work using CinePaint as an image processing platform typically work in semi-secrecy until their thesis is finished. There are no grad student developers at this time.
