Chromakey improvements checked in to GIT
by Phyllis Smith 22 May '24

22 May '24

Chromakey plugin has had its menu improved by anonymous contribution and it has been checked into GIT. (Andrea, can you test it too? and check the manual to make sure still matches and make new image?) Improvements include: - added Default button - default values for Threshold and Slope changed from 60 to 10 and from 100 to 0 as much more practical - position of Threshold and Slope switched because Threshold is more relevant (Previous 2 items were suggested by Andrea) - textbox with arrows added for much easier access to current setting - individual "reset" icons added - location of "Use color picker" put into better position - other minor stuff

Cinelerra-HV 9 is out!
by Andrew Randrianasulu 20 May '24

20 May '24

News item at linux.org.ru - because official one just few lines without any picture :) https://www.linux.org.ru/news/multimedia/17621213 Also, it was suggested that we (cinelerra-gg) can create different git branch < named, say, "testing" > for "potentially unstable" patches, like current ffmpeg 7.0 patchset and then merge back to main/stable when feature is deemed ready. So, "main" releases will be once in half year, year but they will look more like releases, with Changelog looking less like git log :)

Audio Offset Finder
by Andrea paz 20 May '24

20 May '24

A nice command-line tool that reads the offset between two audio tracks, thus allowing them to be manually synchronized. Unfortunately it is made with Python, but I was wondering if it is possible to import it into "i" shell commands, so as to provide sync information of the various assets. It has the Apache license. https://github.com/bbc/audio-offset-finder

Add to the manual
by Andrea paz 13 May '24

13 May '24

I wrote a short introduction for chapter 7 of the manual, the one with the rendering options. I am not sure it is necessary so I am attaching, in addition to the latex version, a txt version. Judge whether it should be included. In this case it should be put at the beginning, as the first paragraph.

mjpegtools update
by Phyllis Smith 11 May '24

11 May '24

Because Andrea had a compile problem and Andrew found an update to mjpegtools from 2.1.0 to 2.2.1 that seemed to solve the problem, I have been testing this. Questions for Andrew concerning the patches in 2.1.0 to be moved to 2.2.1: ??? patch 1,2,3 are no longer relevant because patch1 cpuinfo.sh file no longer exists; patch2 NOPIC not there; patch3 bad spelling must be gone (wink, wink). ??? patch 4,5,6,7 appear to be needed for TERMUX. Is that still necessary? and bthread.h needs to be created as in patch7? Patch 8 is still relevant as it adds sample rate. Build working with patches 4-8 applied. Now I just have to figure out how to test. I did find that loading a mjpeg video does not work and has not been working - maybe never did.

vaapi vs appimage, kdenlive way
by Andrew Randrianasulu 10 May '24

10 May '24

https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/-/commit/ce5096a51ce1… see, they set "LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri:/usr/lib64/dri:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri" I wonder if we should do the same ....

Problem with the compile
by Andrea paz 10 May '24

10 May '24

I have been trying to compile with the Phyllis patch for vaapi. I have crashes which, however, I think are dependent on libsvtav1 and libaom and not on the patch. I attach the cin5.log. I have tried both the patch and manual intervention on Main.C. I have the same crash even without the patch. I have the crashes with both ffmpeg7 (and related patches) and ffmpeg 6.1. The problem with AV1 recalls the problem posted by Deim on MantisBT #0655. Deim uses Gentoo, I Arch that they are both rolling. Maybe some update bringing problems?
