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

Fwd: Webpage Translation into Spanish
by Rafa Mar Multimedia en Gnu\Linux 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi dear Phyllis Spanish translation of the terms of the appearance tab of the configuration: Autosave continous backups = *Copia de seguridad continua* The tip in Spanish = *Cuando cierre Cinelerra se guardarán unicamente las últimas 50 copias de seguridad. Si trabaja durante mucho tiempo sin reiniciar Cinelerra, corre el riesgo de ocupar mucho espacio con las continuas copias de seguridad.* Greetings!!

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.

CinGG and ffmpeg 4.4
by Andrea paz 04 May '21

04 May '21

With the release of FFMPEG 4.4 I tried to compile CinGG with git-ffmpeg. I used the following command from ./configure: ./configure --with-single-user --with-git-ffmpeg --with-booby And then I compiled with: make 2>&1 | tee /tmp/cin5.log && make install The compilation crashes immediately with the cin5.log that I attach. Do you have any advice for me or is this an impossible task for a non-programmer?

Haiku OS (offtop? )
by Andrew Randrianasulu 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hi All. I was reading this article https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/animortis/2021-04-27_my_first_week_with_haiku/ And there was interesting line: ===== The new video editor Medo natively handled 4K and offered multilingual translations. Plus, it also weighed in at about four megabytes and opened just as quickly. ==== I wonder if anyone on desktop can try this OS/NLE in virtual machine and write a bit more about how it works? (iirc they do not have gpu accel for most cards, no 3d, some Intel gpu may have hw 2d/overlay functionality) I do not think Cin can be easily ported to it, at least as gui app (no X server there, yet?), but this is interesting effort, imo more interesting than using Linux gui apps on still closed-source (and worse) Windows... Also, can anyone try accessing cinelerra-gg website via tor with javascript disabled?

Appimage and background rendering
by Andrea paz 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

Regarding appimage, in a comment on one of my videos I was asked: "1- when I enable lv2 plugins, cinelerra never loads up on me. 2- is background rendering and render farm in CLI mode works now, when Cinelerra-GG is distributed as AppImage?" I actually can't do background rendering from the terminal; I get a loop of LV2 loading and CinGG won't start. Do you know how to do it?

What about flapak?
by W P 24 Apr '21

24 Apr '21

First of all thank you MatN (as from what I understood you were the person who allowed appimage to be built), I followed the recent switch to appimage and I understand it makes sense as there is no need for different builds. Just one thought, why appimage and not flatpak? I prefer flatpak but my personal preference doesn't matter, I think the only cons of flatpak compared to appimage is the larger size (in today's world it should not be an issue but I realized that for many good internet is not a thing yet). However I would like to point out which IMHO is the best advantage of flatpak over appimage, flathub, the repo where many, popular FLOSS softwares are present. I remember reading appimage has something similar but I think it is nowhere near as popular as flathub. A search for 'video editor' shows many cinelerra 'competitors' but no cinelerra :/ https://flathub.org/apps/search/video%20editor Are there plans in the future to offer a flatpak of cinelerra as well?

A few questions about cinelerra-gg
by Zeke Williams 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

How good is cinelerra[-gg] for animation post production? I mean traditional animation taken with a camera and then has to be edited on a computer. Also, if I expect stability, how good is cinelerra-gg for that? Would I be better off with a different version of cinelerra rather than cinelerra-gg? Thank you.
