There are new builds available at the cinelerra-gg.org website. GG really
pushed the limits of coding this month in order to get closer to fully
meeting expected features of an NLE. But thanks to additional support from
testers and users and people reporting via email and MantisBT, this new
release will hopefully be in good shape. He will be slowing down some in
the "Happy New Year"! gg/Phyllis

Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 12/01/2018-12/31/2018
for builds
1. Inter-View mode / Identifying Source Targets shows in the Resources
window preview are
where the media is used or unused plus allows for seeing that portion
in the viewer and positioning
along the timeline. Usage is easy but not immediately obvious, so
refer to section 46 in Features.
2. Cut and Paste behavior for moving, deleting, inserting, and grouping
edits with various options
has been added. And the selection process makes it possible to add
transitions to multiple edits. In
the same area Dragging changes and improvements have been made. See
Section 47 in Features
for details (or just middle mouse button on a track to see the
options). Labels, autos, and keyframes
will also be moved along in this new drag method but that feature has
not yet been incorporated in
the old drag method.
3. Color titles per media/proxy files is now an option with Autoselect
colors (Settings→Preferences,
Appearance tab) or Self-color. Refer to section 48 in Features Pdf
file to details.
*Super Testers* this month for the above 3 new features deserve special
thanks for testing, feedback, and patience to include *Andrea, IgorBeg,
Pierre, and Sam*. It made development a lot easier.
4. Because this is pervasive, a bugfix to Draw/ReDraw on the timeline is
emphasized here to make
you aware that in spite of testing, there could still be an issue.
5. Usability Improvements:
View Thumbnail size, Vicon memory size, and Vicon color mode are now
settable in Preferences
to allow for bigger or less pixelated thumbnails when previewing.
Preview window zoom scale for vicons in the Resources window using the
middle mouse wheel.
Video plugin expanders in Resources now has more categories and is
improved thanks to Andrea.
Cut and Paste editing mode (I-beam) now allows for grouping and column
dragging.
Shortcuts for “Align cursor on edits” and “Save settings now” have
been added.
New drag arrow so can see behind, for all themes except Bright, Blue
Dot, and Neophyte.

Resources window, the shift-delete control was replaced with
Ctrl-shift-delete
Upgraded bccmdl.py to python3 – credit to Frank Dana of rpmfusion.
Reworked vicon view popup in order to add more capability.
The Proxy preview has had 2 bugs fixed that led to bad behavior in the
Resources window.
A bug with listbox usage in the Titler plugin for font choice that
made it more difficult to choose has

been corrected.
The drop position in Drag and Drop mode was incorrect in some cases.
This has been fixed.
Package creation, etc, for rpmFusion (credit Frank Dana) has

ensuring the executable bit is only set when necessary, and
updating the desktop cin icon.
Updated COPYING file containing GPLv2+ GNU General Public License.
Double delete in Titler was found and fixed.
Default proxy ffmpeg/mp4 selection had an incorrect setup so switched
it to faster mpeg.
