Try putting in the exact name of the archive, or use gdebi instead to get a graphical environment where you can just "pick" the file. The reason that synaptic didn't find cinelerra is probably due to the /etc/apt/sources edit required to add an appropriate source location. I've never had much luck with that, and feel much more comfortable with the control I get over the process with apt and gdebi - but to each his own. It's the Linux Way...
