Bump Autos + other checked into GIT
by Phyllis Smith 29 Aug '20

29 Aug '20

New "Bump Autos" have been checked into GIT. A demo is at: https://streamable.com/4kqlpv The initial goal was to resolve some of the issues reported with Speed with the end result of application to all of the float autos (to include Camera and Projector). Documentation is not yet available due to Phyllis not being available much to do anything. Hopefully it will get done by the 31st. Test builds for Ubuntu 20, Mint 18 and Arch can be downloaded (*in about 2 hours from now*) at https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ look for the one with today's date on it. The icon symbols that were checked in are still being worked too. GG

Improved Scale plugin from Contributor checked in
by Phyllis Smith 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

The GIT has an improved Scale plugin added. And Locale was replaced with Language in the Settings->Preferences, Appearance tab. GG is working on improving the Speed Auto. I am having to spend more time in the next couple of weeks on personal stuff.

Request: Language settings
by Gerd + Beatrix Elgert 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Phyllis, the new mint package installs perfect. Thank you all. My only REQUEST for some time in the future: Could you add an additional tab for language settings in the preferences - like in the animation program Krita? My system is set up in German and I constantly need to switch between German and English to make full use of the excellent English tutorials which are out there. (I have been using Cinelerra since 2008. But with new technologies and equipment I am constantly testing and learning) At the moment I have to start CIN in the terminal to make it load the English language at start. That does it for me, but it is not an elegant solution. Have a look at Krita.

Fixed typo in my x265-8/10/12 bit patchset, tried CineformHD encoder in ffmpeg.git
by Andrew Randrianasulu 07 Aug '20

Hi all ... Not much to report, just another recompile of CinelerraGG. I made typo in one of my patches, so compilation stopped in x265, but then I fixed it and tried resulted Cinelerra for encoding .. cin Cinelerra Infinity - built: Aug 6 2020 08:57:33 git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git (c) 2006-2019 Heroine Virtual Ltd. by Adam Williams 2007-2020 mods for Cinelerra-GG by W.P.Morrow aka goodguy Cinelerra is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.

I also tried this new CineformHD encoder in ffmpeg, using attached options file: cat /usr/share/cin/ffmpeg/video/cfhdenc.qt mov cfhd It worked at around 7 fps for 1080p h264 source in RGBA-float project ... Decoding with mplayer was fine if I set CPU to on-demand performance, but just 4x 1.4Ghz of my AMD FX 4300 was not enough for single stream decode. This codec was rumored to be fast for both encode and decode, guess ffmpeg implementation not very fast yet ...

x265 10/12 bit patch3 a bit reworked

July monthly builds available BUT lots of clean up still..
by Phyllis Smith 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

We had a lot of problems with the builds yesterday so have a lot of cleanup and documentation fixes to do yet this weekend. Some problems listed here. Tumbleweed (Leap-ish) may be eliminated next month because it is very time-consuming to upgrade this Operating System every month since it is not a distro that we use on a daily basis. It has been a problem every month; for example 2,000 packages had to be updated for it between June 29 and July 29 and then it did not work correctly. Instead we ended up doing a brand new install which also took a lot of time (about 4 hours). So unless we get feedback that it is worth the time, it will be dropped. Leap 15-02 build and Mint 20 are new builds this month but installing has not been tested or updated on the website due to time constraints. Arch, Tumbleweed, and Gentoo are OK but GG had to make some changes. ------------------------ *Release Notes *(found on website as usual) Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 07/01/2020-07/31/2020 for builds 1. *Upgraded several thirdparty libraries* to include: *FFmpeg to 4.3* – with new plugins of asubboost (audio) and addroi, bilateral, cas, dblur, gradients, median, photosensitivity, scdet, scroll, sierpinski, thistogram, tmedian, untile, v360, yaepblur (video) plugins. You can use “i” in the Resources window and mouse on each to get short information. *+ turbo-jpeg, vorbis, x265, vpx, lv2, aom, and dav1d.* 2. Mint 20 builds are now available and Leap is updated to 15.2.2. 3. *Gang modes*, which includes Gang Channels mode for DAW-like editing, has minor improvements: - Using Shift on the gang mode toggle, switches back to the previous mode thus making it easy to see a different view temporarily in order to view the actual track lineup. - Gang Channel icon in the top line of the timeline, is yellow to help make it clear that you are in this mode. The Gang Media icon is red as a warning of this mode. The default Gang None is just in a theme related ordinary color, often white. - A slight change in the order of symbols in the Patchbay has been made for aesthetic purposes. - Wysiwig tweak for ganging set of the Master Track for channels. 4. *Align Timecodes* feature has been added based on different timecodes or timings included with the files. LTC from external generated audio has not been incorporated due to lack of proper test material. Usage description is included temporarily as a pdf file attached to BT# 448 (which prompted this incomplete feature). 5. *Tracks Swap Up/Down* added to the Tracks pulldown to provide previous capability that was in “move up”/”move down”. 6. *Usability Improvements:* In the Viewer window, you can, but no longer have to press Rewind button to start Play over again. This includes play, fast play, play reverse, and fast play reverse (Skinkie BT #463). Many FFmpeg plugins required the use of the Apply button before a parameter change would take effect. Now when you type in a parameter change and hit the Enter key, the change will take effect (Skinkie BT #464). *Auto Rotate for ffmpeg video that has “metadata” *defining the rotation in 90 degree increments has been implemented and is now the default, but you can change this in Settings→Preferences, Appearance, Flags (Ig0r forum “Rotation metadata usage in viewer/compositor”). Added a dump_stack to the generated crash dumps so that this information is always included, thus making user crash dumps more valuable for analysis and potentially fixing the bugs that are found. *Subtitles now have a choice of format* in that menu; srt for SubRip which is now the default, sub for Subviewer and udvd which was the original MicroDVD format (RafaMar BT #475). *Mix master*s menu item added under the Window pulldown → Mixers subwindow. This additional feature makes it very easy to get into the multi-camera mixer mode after tracks have already been set up and edited. When using “File by Reference” if you exit without “saving”, a reminder will popup to allow you to choose to save so that you do not lose work. Minor Spanish translation update (from Rafamar). 7. *Bugs/Issues fixed:* The “drag” checkbox for the following plugins has had a major rework done: Sketcher, CriKey, Title, Tracer, and Boxblur Change prompted by BT #482 from RafaMar which was a bug. Two additional bugs were found while working this problem and have now been fixed too. The “drag” value is no longer saved in the keyframe. Problem with resizing the textbox with the Y axis has been fixed (RafaMar BT #456, subtitle). The Mask has been tweaked to fix an edge case of 128 cpus which lead to undesirable lines. An Index bug that has been around for some time where the drawing on the timeline did not complete, has been fixed. A reference count has been added in 19 places to keep track of cache as a design implementation change to resolve occasional SEGV crashes. Fixed break created by creating a clip in OpenEDL edit mode (Fary54 BT #470). Fixed a bug in ffmpeg scan remap code. Applied a modified patch for configure.ac with a precedence problem in at least 3 different places (Ferdnyc supplied patch information in BT 473). Hang cinelerra_18388.dmp when use “s” in OpenEDL level (BT #470 Fary54 and Andrea both reproduced this bug). If Render Farm is enabled and you render a single frame, it was creating multiple output instead of just 1. This is now fixed. ResampleRT plugin to speed up and slow down the audio is now fixed (Houku BT#474). A fix for a segv that occurred while testing has been made also. Fixed affine.C and interp.h which are used in the Motion and Perspective plugins, as well as in other places, for various boundary conditions (Georgy aka sge, patch in BT #474). A mod has been added to fix usage of Paste in the Resources window when preview media is enabled (RafaMar BT # 476). PatchB for ffmpeg is a temporary patch until a new release that includes this ssse3 patch is available. It fixes a padding issue of 16 as 4 was insufficient. A fix for another vicon thread lock problem has been added through rework (Armandux BT #481) + fixed a discovered problem of vicon interruption during a render operation. Tweaked Closed Caption text fonts (for personal use). Fixed sync EDL for plugin gui flip out and tweaked plugin gui id’s. Changed vrender reconfigure to fix a problem. Added listbox selection index range tests to prevent issues. Modification made to the build procedure to allow for Cuda version 11. A fix to also change the length in OpenEDL of the audio has been added (Fary54 BT#430).

Hi, I had some issues following the normal upgrade procedure on Leap 15.2: # zypper up cinelerra Repository 'cingg' is invalid. [cingg|https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/pkgs/leap15/] Repository type can't be determined. Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid repository.

'cinelerra' is already installed. Package 'cinelerra' is not available in your repositories. Cannot reinstall, upgrade, or downgrade. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. Then I changed the repo uri to [cingg|https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/pkgs/leap15.2/ and got Cinerelerra upgraded to the quite new July version. However the 10-bit version is not yet available: # zypper up cinelerra10bit Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'cinelerra10bit' is already installed.
