Some workarounds for issues and a few known problems that have not yet been fixed, are described here.
+\paragraph{Workaround for access to modifiable text files when using AppImage.} This includes
+such files as FFmpeg video or audio files, fonts that you want to add for usage in the Title
+plugin, icons that you wish to modify, and any other text file for customization.
+To get access, first extract the files from the AppImage, find the files to add, edit, or modify, and then run the extracted binary following the steps shown here.
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item /path-to-appimage/CinGG-20220131-x86\_64.AppImage -{}-appimage-extract
+ \item edit or add the files you want to modify in the \textit{bin} or \textit{lib} subdirecctory
+ \item /path-to-appimage/squashfs-root/usr/bin/cin
+\end{itemize}
+For more detailed information on working with AppImages, see \ref{sub:managing_appimage}.

\paragraph{Workaround for the \textit{alpha channel not working as intended when using an EDL} inserted as a reference or when an EDL is nested.}
Using the Projector on the EDL within a Master Project follow these next steps.
\begin{itemize}
having a separate plugin for each clip. Or another workaround is to use two tracks and have the
plugin cover the cut point and use a Fade auto instead of the Dissolve transition.

\paragraph{The Fade auto in certain circumstances produces an unwanted black flash.}
When you insert an effect on an empty track the fade fades as if it were on a black background;
it interprets the alpha as black where there is transparency, which is what produces the fade.

-You can add your own images to the Shape Wipe transition and there are some free ones available to download such as under the \texttt{Video $\rightarrow$ Transitions} pulldown at {\small \url{http://assistcg.com}}.
+You can add your own images to the Shape Wipe transition and there are some free ones available to download
+at {\small \url{http://assistcg.com}} - click on the Transitions option under the Video pulldown on that site.
+AppImage does not provide this capability unless you use the workaround as described in the Appendix \nameref{cha:faq_problems_workarounds}.
To include new images in the Shape Wipe Transition, simply copy the file \textit{shape.jpg} or
\textit{shape.png} to the subdirectory \texttt{plugins/shapes} in your \CGG{} directory path. If
you prefer to have a better quality png used instead of the included 90\% jpg version, you can download
the equivalent png versions at {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ShapeWipe\_pngs.txz}}.
You will then need to untar this file, choose the ones you want, and add them to your directory path.
-After an update of \CGG{}, they will have to be restored each time.
+And if that is not enough, you can download another 32 different transitions at {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ShapeWipe\_additional.txz}}. One particularly interesting ShapeWipe
+in this set is Fleur-de-lis-of-Florence. After an update of \CGG{}, they will have to be restored each time.
