FFmpeg 8.0 in CinGG
by Andrea paz 23 Nov '25

23 Nov '25

I see that ffmpeg 8.0 has three new filters: Color Detect, Pad_Cuda, and Scale_d3d11. In CinGG, I only see the first one, Color Detect, which provides information on the “Jpeg/Mpeg” range and whether the alpha channel is ‘premultiplied’ or “straight.” It doesn't give me any errors, but I don't know where to see the information it provides. FFmpeg 8.0 also has other good news: decoders for the APV mezzanine codec (very interesting!) and for ProRes RAW. Improved VVC support (this would be h266, the successor to h265). Then encoding/decoding via Vulkan of FFV1 and ProRes Raw (for this only decoding). Still decoding Vulkan VP9, Vaapi VVC; ProRes and VC-2. I don't know if Vulkan AV1; ProRes and VC-2 encoding is already supported or coming soon. I don't know enough about other new features (G.728; Whip, etc.).

Git question
by Andrea paz 23 Nov '25

23 Nov '25

Sorry for the basic question, but how do I update git with the new URL for the LaTeX manual? I read that I have to do the following: git remote set-url origin https:/ git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git I'm afraid of messing things up before I even try. Can you confirm this for me? Do I also have to do “git push -u origin master” since I don't use git push?

duplicate code in cinelerra that also exists in support libraries
by Rob Prowel 23 Nov '25

23 Nov '25

Please help me to understand why. This is my make-config and I'm building from scratch on Debian-13(trixie). I've re-run autoconf and aclocal to support the newer macros/features. Also note that I'm leveraging the distro libraries over the in-source thirdparty ones. I have sucessfully built this way several years ago. ----------------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash CUDA_PATH=/usr \ ./configure \ --prefix=/sharebin/cingg2511 \ --with-cuda \ --with-nv \ --with-gl \ --with-xv \ --with-jobs=8 \ --with-alsa \ --enable-audiofile \ --with-thirdparty=no ----------------------------------------------- build fails due to function redeclaration of int GifQuantizeBuffer(unsigned int Width, unsigned int Height, int *ColorMapSize, GifByteType * RedInput, GifByteType * GreenInput, GifByteType * BlueInput, GifByteType * OutputBuffer, GifColorType * OutputColorMap); in filegif.h and filegif.C...but this method also exists in the thirdparty library giflib. The reason it fails is that in the library the pointers are const (as they should be) but in the duplicated code under cinelerra directory they are not...and simply adding const in the included code is not a fix, IMHO. Lets please evaluate why the library code was duplicated within the project source in the first place. giflib is not only available under the thirdparty directory, but is a common library on most linux distros. It seems odd that it's both referenced from the library AND duplicated in-source. So far the only dependency I've had to use from the thirdparty directory is libdpx since it is quite obscure and not a standard part of Debian. -Rob

by Andrew Randrianasulu 22 Nov '25

22 Nov '25

Hopefully this patch (apply with git am) will fix err Andrea was seeing on Arch? Not sure about lv2 situation there .. For git clone size - may be before that it was shallow (--depth 1) clone and now its full? For me update was just few megabytes - size of ffmpeg 8.0 source tarball ...

CinGG GIT checkin on new server for FFmpeg version 8.0
by Phyllis Smith 22 Nov '25

22 Nov '25

The new Cinelerra-GG server GIT repository is fully functional now and I have checked in updates for FFmpeg 8.0. It is now at https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git so the following read-only git is: git clone https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git *Note for Andrey*: hoping you will continue updating/creating the cin-gg-packages/releases In addition, I am planning on keeping the github.com/phylsmith/Cinelerra_GG repository updated at the same time for those people who wander through Github (smiley face). But if I ever figure out the ownership/password for the cinelerra-gg github repository, I will probably switch to that.

New release with FFmpeg version update to 8.0
by Phyllis Smith 21 Nov '25

21 Nov '25

FFmpeg version 8.0 is now in Cinelerra-GG release with the basic patches as has been in "test" mode for a few weeks so can now proceed to make other recently discovered necessary changes. Since the procedures I used to get the updated files on the new server were just a little different (better!), if you notice problems let me know so I correct my mistakes. Please see the section of the release notes below for updated server access. *********************** Release Notes for this release *************************** GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 07/01/2025-11/21/2025 Cinelerra-gg.org *website migrated* to a bigger/faster/better server. *Thanks to Sam!* The following services/url-s should be fully functional now: ** Mailing List is being utilized daily with Mailman version 3; to enroll or search archives: https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman3/lists/cin.lists.cinelerra-gg.org/ ** GIT program control for the source and the manual: git clone https:/git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git git clone https:/git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git to view the commits for all 4 repositories use: https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/ ** AppImages, Manual, ReleaseNotes,and other informational type files: https://download.cinelerra-gg.org *FFmpeg *has been updated from version 7.0 to 8.0 and as a result libpostproc has been removed by the ffmpeg team in their release; although it is still maintained separately. At this time, it is unknown what, if any, capabilities will no longer be available in CinGG as a result. *Andrew-R* did significant work to modify the necessary patches for the new version as well as fixed issues in several C files in the cinelerra directory as a result of the upgrade to 8.0. *Calf plugins* UI (the glitzy user interface) may be an issue for the newest operating systems such as Arch and Ubuntu 24.04 which no longer include GTK2 in their distributions. Most likely there will be alternative locations to obtain GTK2 for these newest systems. You can still use the Calf plugins without the UI by unchecking in the Settings pulldown, Preferences, Interface tab, Operations section, Auto start lv2 gui flag. *Andrea discovered this problem and Adam *suggested using the Linux Studio Plugins (LSP) as a great alternative. Note that there are many other lv2 plugins besides Calf that take advantage of the glitzy UI interface and the “Auto start lv2 gui flag” works for those also.

Calf plugins
by Andrea paz 21 Nov '25

21 Nov '25

I noticed that the calf plugins work but without UI. While trying to investigate, I found this issue: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/calf/-/issues/3 Does this only affect Arch Linux because it is removing GTK2, or could it be a more general problem?
