Resources Window -> Clips (make the program window less responsive)
by Igor BEGHETTO 30 Jul '26

Hi, I noticed that when I create a few clips (more than 10 clips), with "ToClip" function, Cinelerra-GG is less responsive in some things. I remember that "ToClip" function puts the clip in the Clip Resources Bin window. When in the Clip Resources Bin window there are more than 10 clips (in my case 42 clips), Arm or Disarm a track in the Program Window, using the Mouse in the Patchbay, takes about 2 seconds; BUT, instead of using the mouse, I use the Tab key (shortcut) it is immediate. Mmh,... very strange. Or if, after placing the Insertion Point between two edits in the Video track, I add a default Dissolve transition using "Shift+U" shortcut, it takes about 2 seconds; same thing also for Detach that transition using the mouse. If I delete all the clips in the Clip Resources window everything goes fast. Below my settings to save system resources: - ThePreview Mode in the Resources Window is "No Play". - In Settings-> Preferences, under the Appearance tab, I have unchecked "Use thumbnails in resource window". Any ideas? Thank you. IgorB

A bit OT (and sorry for mostly lurking) but I found this recent vid interesting, even if node-based compo is not our home stretch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ezXXYgSEK5Q "Compositing with Avid Media Illusion on a Silicon Graphics O2 from 1996 | SGI | Retro VFX" 26 minutes.

CinGG's windows scale
by Andrea paz 26 Jul '26

26 Jul '26

There are 2–3 AppImages where, when I launch CinGG, I get a “scaled-down” screen (see: https://i.postimg.cc/vTkPkw8Y/display-1.jpg) as if the program were detecting a lower screen resolution than the default (2560x1440). This is probably due to the amdgpu drivers for my RX5700XT, which has always been poorly supported by AMD; however, this has never happened to me before. Do you have any ideas or advice? It’s not a big problem for me to resize the windows every time I launch CinGG, but I’d be happy if there were a way to fix this.

Forum notification - how to

Just FYI as I finally got around to learning how to get an automatic notification when something new is in the Forum. - get to each Category you wish to "watch" - all the way to the right of the category name is a bell that is clear/white; click on it to get to "watching" - then, when a new note is added, you should be notified in your email that is connected to your forum login.
