Hi I've made some significant progress in getting the build going - and will have some patches to drop that solve some issues for builds using system libs and non x86 based archs. The current issue I'm stumbling on is that configure doesn't detect the systems liba52 and a52dec/a52.h header files as installed. This results in a linking failure during the build of libzmpeg Any thoughts on how I might overcome that? Thanks, Daniel. -- Daniel Reurich Centurion Computer Technology (2005) Ltd. 021 797 722

Latex and Manual
by Andrea paz 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

@Olaf. Every month I write an email containing LaTeX and Manual in the title to continue the discussion and translation work with einhander. I installed the whole package, plus the Greek and Russian languages. Of course I also installed an editor, that is TexStudio. It would be nice if you could also contribute (in any way). "I also noticed that the lines in the TeX documents are all written without wrapping. When using Git and Diff, however, hard line breaks could be useful, short lines limited to less than 80 characters simplify the clarity." My knowledge of \LaTeX is very superficial and therefore I have not understood what you mean by wrapping the text. It would be nice if you could also contribute (in any way).

some problems - batch rendering warnings and opening project error, steps to have cinelerraGG officially in Gentoo
by deim31 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi, few days back I was with my low-end laptop Acer TravelMate B116-M on film camp where we helped children to took videos and then we cut them to final short films. I had weakest device on camp, but must say it worked quite well. I tested hw acceleration as it was announced here and it was quite stable - laptop has Intel CPU and GPU so I used vaapi and h264_vaapi profile to speed up rendering. I tried to encode from 5 Mbps to 20 Mbps and noticed the few first frames of this hw encoded videos was quite low quality then it was better but lot of movement was lower quality also. I had problems also with this method of work: - load assets for part of video - cut everything for this part on timeline - save project - repeat for each part Then I loaded all saved parts to project as resources - it loaded saved parts as clips and all assets to resources. Then I pasted clips on timeline of final video and made final cut. Then I saved final project. Closed Cinelerra then I was unable to reopen saved project - it only showed one of clips on timeline :-( So I decided to export only parts and concatenate exported videos. The method was this: - load part - create new batch job (use current EDL button) - set output path and codecs I then wanted to run jobs but it warned about mismatch of session/job so I must render separate :-( I rendered by jobs before without problems the same way. So I don't know what the problem was. I'm using git versions - I work on Gentoo and I'd be happy to have official ebuild for this. I made first steps for that: https://bugs.gentoo.org/691102 I think it would be better to build only production versions from git i.e. if somewhere was some info about what build is last production it could be somehow in ebuild to decide to build stable or latest git version. deim

Timeline borders
by preobraz＠gmail.com 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Dear developers! Now that you have done a tremendous amount of work to improve work with Cinelerra, you can pay attention to smaller issues. For example, to me personally, the border between the tracks is not at all obvious, especially when there are a lot of them. When the content is adjacent to the left side of the timeline, I understand where the border still somehow turns out (blue stroke). But in the absence of content, dealing with borders is much more difficult (red stroke). Link: https://pic4a.ru/98/2zM.png The proposals made were difficult for me, so I had to use an automatic translator. Regards, Ugin.

August new builds are available
by Phyllis Smith 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Pkgs and tars for the end of the month build are ready for use. We tested both the static tar and the system package on Mint 19 this time. You can download them at: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/ In addition the complete releasenotes.pdf are in that directory. And now, presenting the Work-In-Progress (WIP) LaTex manual, which is incomplete but which includes the new Masking operations and all of the formatting enhancements that Andrea/Andrey have provided. https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_manual_WIP.pdf It is literally a work of art that they have created with all of the editing and formatting and being done in LaTex will make it much easier to keep it up to date. This month's release notes are included below but here is some personal commentary. - I ran a test on rendering/encoding to VP8 and VP9 on a small file and did not see any speed improvement with libvpx, but really it was a very small file. - FFmpeg upgrade to 4.2 has a couple of new filters and I do not understand a report of yuv420p10 issue. - Dav1d inclusion was a big problem for the older system builds. First, meson had to be at or above version 47 and only 5 out of 18 build systems were. Consequently, GG ended up eliminating the "meson" requirement and substituting the standard "make" instead. Then the "nasm" assembler on some of the older systems was not able to compile Dav1d so they had to be switched out for a working version. More information on this later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) *Release Notes for 08/01/2019-08/31/2019* for builds 1. *Upgraded ffmpeg* from 4.1.4 to 4.2 (*Andrew notification* of official release). 2. O/S distros on developer’s build systems have had upgrades applied. 3. *Libvpx has been upgraded* from 1.8.0 to 1.8.1. Per their release notes “various changes to improve encoder rate control, quality and speed for practically every use case” (*Deim notification* of release *).4. **Dav1d *is being used in place of libAOM for decode only in ffmpeg, providing purported *s*ignificant speedups of 2-5 times for AV1 media. Encode is only available using libAOM so will still be slow (Mantis BugTracker #*BT 214*). 5. *Usability Improvements:* Mask feathering algorithm has been improved by using an algorithm more close to the original based on a user request (*User direct reques*t). And Feathering which was limited to 100 pixels now allows for a much larger range by clicking on the button on either end and sliding at least 12 pixels past that point which increases it by a small percentage each time allowing you to move the slider past 100 (*User direct request*). Significant work was done on Feathering by the developer to improve performance and to ensure that using OpenGL as well as the X11 driver, produced the same (or almost the same results). A Batch Render warning is now shown to the user when the position is at the end of the media ( *Deim suggestion*). The release in GIT will have a “git tag” added for the “version update” (Mantis BugTracker #288). 6. *Bugs/Issues fixed:* The Compositor “Click2Play” button is now easily accessible again (Mantis BugTracker #*BT 237*). Fixed Render Progress booby (Andrew reported this bug). Configure.ac Warn and Guicast Gettid patches (from ferdnyc) were applied (#*BT 289 and 290*).

FFmpeg 4.2 new filters
by Andrea paz 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

To test the new filters that come with the 4.2 (colorhold, xmedian, etc), just copy the entries in plugins.opts? After that they appear in resources --> video effects and you can try them out?

Bug when building from Git, FFmpeg fails on libdavd1
by Miroslav Rovis 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi! Installing Cinelerra from git, on a Debian variant (Devuan), following the PDF Installation documentation, doing the recommended --with-single-user build, I got this error: gcc: error: /Cmn/src/cin/cin/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/../thirdparty/dav1d-0.4.0/usr/local/lib*/libdav1d*.a: No such file or directory C compiler test failed. This change allowed me to, going from zero ground, build and install Cinelerra correctly: $ diff cinelerra-5.1/configure.ac* 416c416 < [ usr/local/lib*/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdav1d*.a ], --- > [ usr/local/lib*/libdav1d*.a ], Sorry for lack of time to make a proper patch. Also I'm not aware if that "x86_64-linux-gnu" is present or not in all distros, so this may not solve it for other distos, but instead make a failure, if they the libdav1d*.a is not in that dir.

To be able to register to forum, cookie domains to allow?
by Miroslav Rovis 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

I have, as can be seen from attached Screen_190828_1309_gdO_1.jpg unchecked "Allow sites to store cookies and data", i.e. not allowed by default. And I allow "Exceptions" as can be seen from attached Screen_190828_1309_gdO_2.jpg In which same JPEG with exception (i.e. those are allowed), it can be seen that I added: cinelerra-gg.org It seems not to suffice... Which other domains are necessary to allow to be able to register to the forum? Namely it wouldn't allow me to reset the password. Thanks! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
