I tried to add AVC-Intra 100 output profiles
by Andrew Randrianasulu 08 May '25

08 May '25

But not sure if I did this correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVC-Intra says for AVC-Intra 100: AVC-Intra 100: nominally 100 Mbit/s, size of each frame is fixed CAVLC entropy coding only. All formats are High 4:2:2 Intra Profile, Level 4.1 4:2:2 chrominance sampling frames are not scaled and yeah, this French-language pdf actually says the same: https://web.archive.org/web/20110720215759/http://www.ficam.fr/upload/docum… 50M 100M Standard MPEG-4 part10 AVC/H.264 Profile High 10 Intra High 4:2:2 Intra Level Level 3.2/4.0 Level 4.1 Resolution 1440x1080 / 960x720 1920x1080 / 1280x720 Sampling 4:2:0 4:2:2 Bit rate 54Mbps 111Mbps Block size Y: 8x8, C: 4x4 Intra Prediction Y: 9mode, C: 4mode MBAFF Yes De-block filter No Slice/frame 10 Entropy coding CABAC CAVLC so, I looked up ffmpeg cmd line https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3597 ffmpeg -v info -i /mnt-data/backup4/vol0/export/CUHK\ 2014-1/V017b.mov -vcodec libx264 -intra -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -vb 100M -x264opts avcintra-class=100 -x264opts colorprim=bt709 -x264opts transfer=bt709 -x264opts colormatrix=bt709 -threads 4 -acodec copy V017b-ffmpeg-git-avcintra100.mov Huh, said I and entered those params in opts file, actually in two files (mp4 and mov containers) mov libx264 cin_pix_fmt=yuv422p10le flags -global_header keyint_min=0 x264-params=keyint=0:colorprim=bt709:transfer=bt709:colormatrix=bt709 avcintra-class=100 bufsize=100000000 level=4.1 mp4 libx264 cin_pix_fmt=yuv422p10le flags -global_header keyint_min=0 x264-params=keyint=0:colorprim=bt709:transfer=bt709:colormatrix=bt709 avcintra-class=100 bufsize=100000000 level=4.1 both for progressive content, for interlace you must add some more flags: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2017-January/035049.html -flags +ildct+ilme -x264opts interlaced=1 Also, there is still lack of (GUI) user notification if file writing failed due to NO SPACE on device :} FFStream::write_packet: write packet failed. file:/dev/shm/avci_new.mp4 err: На устройстве не осталось свободного места FFStream::encode_frame: encode failed. file: /dev/shm/avci_new.mp4 err: На устройстве не осталось свободного места FFStream::flush failed :file:/dev/shm/avci_new.mp4 err: Операция не позволена Render::render_single: Session finished. ** rendered 273 frames in 85.585 secs, 3.190 fps Render::render_single: Session finished. ** rendered 273 frames in 85.485 secs, 3.194 fps Render::render_single: Session finished. ** rendered 273 frames in 82.176 secs, 3.322 fps Profile sort of assumes you set project to some supported resolution, framerate, etc, otherwise libx264 will fail with console error message..... I found some talk about AVC-Ultra, there even was patch for x264, but it was not merged: https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2015-September/011412.html Also, I think sound must be uncompressed, but I'm not sure.

Re: [Cin] cinelerra-gg on ppc64el
by Daniel Reurich 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

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

CinGG manual
by Andrea paz 02 Jan '21

02 Jan '21

Phyllis has put the new revision of the manual on the website in PDF and HTML. Some sections have been moved: Subtitles is now in Advanced Editing and various rendering examples scattered throughout various sections have been reunited in the Rendering chapter. Do these variations sound good to you? Going back is easy with LaTeX. The section on subtitles does not seem to be good to me. Do you have suggestions on how to improve it, extend it and make it more useful? If you have recommendations on certain parts of the manual, please share them. By now the basic structure is stable, but the content needs many improvements (for example Viewport and Camera/Projector, etc).

CinGG Youtube channel

26 Dec '20

Curiosity about CinGG's Youtube channel: Since its creation, we've made it past 200 subscribers (201); we've had 6974 views for a total of 205 hours of viewing. Sounds like a good result to me!

Index on manual in Latex (to Andrey)
by Andrea paz 12 Dec '20

12 Dec '20

Hi, Andrey. Phyllis put an Index to the CinGG manual in Latex (see git). But I can't get it to work in TexStudio. I put the following line in Configure --> Commands --> Makeindex: makeindex -s nomencl.ist -o CinelerraGG_Manual.nls CinelerraGG_Manual.nlo but if I try to build it via Tools --> Commands --> MakeIndex I get the following error: "Process started: makeindex -s nomencl.ist -o CinelerraGG_Manual.nls CinelerraGG_Manual.nlo Input index file CinelerraGG_Manual.nlo not found. Usage: makeindex [-ilqrcgLT] [-s sty] [-o ind] [-t log] [-p num] [idx0 idx1 ...] Process exited with error(s)" Actually the CinelerraGG_Manual.nlo file exists, but it is the one created for the glossary and in fact contains the glossary entries. Can you suggest a solution?

Missing plugin MOTION CV caused heavy error
by August Geyler 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

Hello everyone, I need your support for making the Motion CV plugin usable for me again. The background: I started working on a huge project in April this year with my team. We made heavy use of motion tracking. To achieve this we made several tests with all available motion plugins in April 2020 and decided to only use "Motion CV". Nobody knew, we chose an effect which would deleted only few month later. I couldn't even imagine something like this happening. We worked on our project for more than a month. Due to the pandemic it came to a sudden hold in May. Today we wanted to start finishing the project. When I opened the file in Cinelerra I surprisingly got the massage that the effect "Motion CV" was unknown. As I figured out, you deleted this plugin in September. I am happy to hear that the new motion plugin is much better and I will use it in the future. But now I need to render my project from April exactly in the way it was made. But this is impossible now due to the disappearance of our most used effect. I checked the syntax in the project XML. There are several differences between "Motion" and "Motion CV" so that just renaming the effect in the file did not work. I red that the old motion cv plugin is still in the libraries and downloaded it. But as I have no clue how to reinstall this into my running system I need your support. The handbook is not describing how to reinstall deleted plugins. Is it possible to reinstall the plugin by myself? Or can you provide the plugin again with the next update? I'm looking forward hearing from you to save all the work we had with our project. Best regards, August

Changed format of Release Notes
by Phyllis Smith 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

The file, releasenotes.pdf, accessible from the website under Download->Documentation will now reflect the changes that have been checked into GIT. In the past Release Notes were only updated when new builds were released at the end of the month. So if you look at the current pdf file, you will see all of the changes that Andrew has made that were tested and checked in + whatever else was.
