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

Fade black flash
by Camille Harang 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Hello, when I put a fade in the title video effect (here the white "Hello" text https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJLj0w6NUSo) you can see that letters appears as a black flash briefly in the first few frames, then goes back to transparent, then the fade starts normally with the white color. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the same problem when using transparent PNG images with fade video transitions, first black, then normal transparency. Thank you very much, Bests, Camille.

AppImage latest release 0331
by Phyllis Smith 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

A new AppImage is available at the following url with 20210331 as the date for newest and older distros: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/ Very few changes but the extra Memory usage is at least commented out in this version. You can see the updates in releaseenotes.pdf or below. I have to update News and information about BT #566 yet before the end of my day. ****************************************************** *GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 03/01/2021-03/31/2021* HV 7.3 modifications added to include: Posterize plugin for creating poster-like videos. Timelapse Helper plugin for speeding up video by some number of frames per block. DeJay reported a greater memory usage in the last release and the cause has been fixed temporarily. SGE completed getting the updates for latex2html officially released to make the HTML manual easier. Yoko has volunteered to do Japanese translation of the website. MatN updated wikipedia for the 0228 AppImage release and reviewed the HV 7.3 release. Andrea has continuously worked on the manual to keep it updated with recent developments. Sam has performed maintenance/updates on the server and keeps it running very smoothly. Elive support is now generously providing a stable Debian release for anyone to use.

HV update mods to "maybe" incorporate into CinGG
by Phyllis Smith 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

Since MatN is working on an update for wikipedia for CinelerraGG, I noticed the inclusion of Adam's HV update as stated here: "Bug fixes for running on a 4K monitor. Support for odd frame sizes in OpenGL. CR3 file format. Automatic histogram value." I can look at the changes and with some help from Andrew/Andras might be able to incorporate any simple improvements in our version. Initial fuzzy observation: 1) Bug fixes for running on a 4K monitor -- *not needed* as the 4K monitor development was done independently here and there is no correlation and no bugs have been reported. 2) Support for odd frame sizes in OpenGL -- *probably* *not needed* as a lot of work to accommodate OpenGL AND odd frame size has been done here over time. But I do not know how to check this. 3) CR3 file format support -- not sure about this. Does ffmpeg support CR3? 4) Automatic histogram value -- this should not be difficult to check to see if needed and merge in.

Any opinion on changing default "Play every frame"?
by Phyllis Smith 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

In the old days, computers were a lot slower and so I am assuming that that is why "Play every frame" defaults to unchecked. You may have noticed in the forum today that it caused a problem. Reference: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/forum/help-audio/offset-between-read-head-and-… If anyone has an objection to me switching the default to this being checked, please let me know. I think new users will benefit from having "Play every frame" enabled to avoid problems. Thanks, Phyllis

Render farm
by Andrea paz 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Since I keep having problems with multithreaded rendering (vedere https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01565.html) I tried again the render farm locally with only the threads of my CPU (8/16); but it doesn't work for me. When I try to start the client CinGG instances, instead of: RenderFarmClientThread::run: Session finished I get: RenderFarmClient::main_loop:400: Address already in use I first tried from root with ports 401 - 416. Then from no-root with ports 1026 - 1041. The result is always the same. The steps I take: - Start CinGG and activate "use render farm" and then set the 15 clients as Localhost port 1026, ..., 1041. OK to activate. - I open a terminal and start the following script: for n in 'seq 1026 1041'; do /home/paz/Desktop/./CinGG-20210228-x86_64.AppImage -d $n done - I get the message reported before and the rendering does not work. (the same happens with CinGG compiled) Any advice?
