Website: link to html manual
by Andrea paz 01 Jan '26

I wanted to point out that, in the Support --> Documentation section of the website, the “HTML User Manual” link leads to a PDF file rather than HTML. The correct link is: https://download.cinelerra-gg.org/view.php?file=CinelerraGG_Manual/cin-inde… This is just a minor detail, because clicking on “Source code” takes us to a collection of links, including one to the HTML manual.

Cinelerra-gg on Debian 8 ppc
by Andrew Randrianasulu 01 Jan '26

01 Jan '26

https://mastodon.online/@Andrew_R/115820001044715253 I disabled a lot of features (giflib, openexr, x10tv) but it compiled against separately installed into /usr/local ffmpeg 8.0 Gcc 4.9.2 wanted -latomic for ffmpeg build, but after adding this and -ldrm to cinelerra/Makefile it worked! Just fit into 1 Gb of ext4 partition. qemu-system-ppc -M mac99,via=pmu -cpu G4 -hda ~/AndrewR/5gb_ppc_debian8.qcow -cdrom ~/AndrewR/void-live-ppc-20210825.iso -boot d -m 1G -accel tcg,tb-size=512 So, I booted livecd, then chrooted into Debian install. This is running fbdev (no graphical acceleration). I think Debian 8 s libgif 4.1 just too old for our filegif, but I compiled system/static for lesser compilation time and disk requirements.

The AppImage apparently does not work on Ubuntu 24.04. Anyone running it? https://cinelerra-gg.org/forum/welcome-area/cinelerra-latest-on-ubuntu-24-0… quoted below: > I am looking to run the latest Cinelerra on Ubuntu 24.04.

Bugtracker links still down?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 31 Dec '25

31 Dec '25

I tried https://cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/my_view_page.php just https://cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/ and https://cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/login_page.php for me all still displays "result not found" Guess our bugtracker page hides from fireworks, like my dog! (under table does not sounds secure enough, so he hides under bathtube .. )

Updated AppImages + Andrey's packages for Debian,Suse,Fedora,Ubuntu building
by Phyllis Smith 31 Dec '25

31 Dec '25

The latest AppImages are now available and with Sam's new display they are easy to find since marked as "NEW" which is so helpful! However, the older 32-bit Debian 9.1 version is not available because apparently some change causes it to crash with a segmentation fault when rendering. It will probably take me some time to narrow down the cause but since it is 32-bit, I am not sure anyone is using it anymore anyway. Users running any of Debian 13, Debian 12, Debian 11, Suse Leap 15.5, Fedora 38, or Ubuntu 22.04, preference should be to use those packages at https://github.com/einhander/cin-gg-packages/releases which should be currently compiling. Release Notes below as quickly copied from releasenotes.pdf in the download area. ****************************** *GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 11/22/2025-12/31/2025* Ongoing Cinelerra-gg.org website migration by Sam to a bigger/faster/better server recent changes: ** Mantis Bug Tracker is again available (still looking for advanced programming help for bug fixes): https://bug.cinelerra-gg.org Cinelerra Download Center Updates – Visit https://download.cinelerra-gg.org New Features & Improvements (as outlined by Sam) Search & Navigation • Global Search – Search across all folders and subfolders • File Type Filters – Quick filter by PDF, AppImage, Archives, HTML, Images, Docs • Date Filter – Filter by Last 7/30/90 days or This Year • Keyboard Navigation – Navigate with arrow keys (↑/↓), open with Enter, download with D, copy link with C, show QR with Q • Sticky Toolbar – Search and filter bar stays visible while scrolling Display & Views • Grid/List Toggle – Switch between compact list and visual grid view • Image Thumbnails – Real image previews with lightbox for full-screen viewing • Dark Mode – Toggle between light and dark theme (auto-saves preference) • NEW Badges – Visual indicator for files uploaded in the last 7 days File Actions • Copy Link Button – One-click copy of download links to clipboard • QR Code Generator – Generate scannable QR codes for mobile downloads • View in Browser – HTML and PDF files can be viewed directly in browser • MD5 Checksums – Display file checksums where available Feeds & Extras • RSS Feed – Subscribe to latest uploads at /feed.php • Quick Links Bar – Direct access to Latest AppImages, Manual, and Source Code • Back to Top – Floating button for easy navigation • Toast Notifications – Visual feedback for actions Technical • Smart Sorting – Sort by date, name, or size (newest first by default) • Responsive Design – Optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop • Security Hardened – Protected against XSS, path traversal, and header injection • Fast Loading – Lazy-loading images and optimized performance Debian version 13 changes to continue to build CinGG by Andrew/Andrey: - Updated blds/bld_prepare.sh to reflect different package installation requirements. - Minor changes needed for blds/debian/control and README files. - Djbfft, a fast library for floating-point convolution, required more includes for missing definitions. - X265 multilib.sh patches needed to meet stricter requirements. - Opencv 20200306 version updated. This was needed starting at Fedora 38 and now for Debian 13. Building CinGG using distro libraries, i.e. without the thirdparty libraries, partially done by Rob P. who found some issues with changes needed/created by Andrew: - Giflib conflict for QuantizeBuffer required an “ifdef” patch. - Audiofile library was using an outdated negative left shift which has been fixed as found in Github. Ffmpeg/plugin.opts has had 8.0 filter, scale_cuda, disabled as discovered by Andrea. Other changes as provided by Andrew-R are listed next:- A new option has been added to blds/bld_prepare.sh of “ubuntu24” to have additional packages installed as noted by MatN previously. - Build options are now available in support of FFmpeg vulkan are vulkan and libplacebo. - A new build option of libzimg is needed by the latest Arch install as discovered by Andrea. - Format gui button fix for “seg” name segment. - The build option, x265_hidepth, is now working again. Default is the 8/10/12 bit build and to get only the 8 bit build, you can now use –disable-x265_hidepth on the “configure” line. - Libtheora updated from version 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 with a patch needed to cinelerra/fileogg.C. - Sparc32 build accommodations in guicast bootstrap.c and Makefile so can build CinGG there. - New Render formats as requested by Glen are basic h264.mov and h264.mkv. - Source GIT had 34 older library versions removed. Manual changes include - Addition of “Adjacent Edits in Timeline” when there is a problem as noted by Stefan, diagnosed by Georgy, and explained by Andrea in Latex format. - In conjunction with work on the new website server, several url-s have been updated in the manual. - Updates in Installation.tex for bld_prepare.sh explanation.

Hi, I miss you folks + Render questions
by info＠bandshed.net 31 Dec '25

31 Dec '25

Hi Cin-GG folks! I'm Glen from AV Linux, I had gotten busy and away from the Cin forum but I'm still a hardcore Cin-GG User and I still include Cin-GG in every AV Linux release. I was quite concerned when the Cin forum and downloads were offline for so long and I was hoping the project was still going, now I see the downloads are back but I couldn't seem to log into the forum so I thought I'd just join the mailing list. Thank you for all you do to keep this project going, I know it is neither fun nor easy much of the time to maintain a large open-source project.. On to my question: I had a read of the Cin manual about adding ffmpeg options and I'm a little lost on how to do what I want, I also use and distribute the AppImage version so I'd also like to avoid cracking open every AppImage release to add some custom options. I do a lot of Concert film restorations these days and I like to work with the Video in Cin-GG and then import the Audio into Ardour so I have an unlimited choice of specialized Audio Plugins and a more ideal Audio-centered workflow. For my use case I really miss a MOV or MKV option to Render H.264 Video + WAV Audio, this combination seems to be missing from both the 'mov' and 'mkv' extension formats and H.264+WAV is a completely valid spec for both MOV and MKV containers. If I recall there is an h.264_vaapi option in mkv but my Video card doesn't support it.. With this Workflow I can import the whole Video file into Ardour and extract the Audio and then re-mux with the edited Audio and keep the MP4 Video without re-encoding the Video so this is why I'm asking an H.264 Render with an uncompressed WAV for further Audio editing. In general for an archiving option H.264+WAV is a decent combo as well so hopefully it would also be a useful addition beyond my needs. Is it possible to get plain old H.264 + WAV in a MOV or MKV container (or even both) in a future release? Thanks for considering and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all the Cin-GG folks!! Best, Glen --

reliable webcam recordings
by Rob Prowel 31 Dec '25

31 Dec '25

It's not cinelerra per se, but does anyone have reliable recipes for saving USB webcam audio and video synced (and at a reasonable framerate >=24fps)? I swear that ffmpeg will drive even the most easy going man totally insane! Anyway, post rant... I have an HD logitech webcam (Webcam C310) and I'm trying to save workstation sessions so I can create online tutorials. To do this I need to save content in a low-loss format. I chose mjpeg with quality value 2 and pcm_s16le audio at 44.1khz. I'm trying to do 1280x720 proof format and scale down after editing. That format IS SUPPORTED at 25 and 30fps by my webcam. The booger is that the exact same ffmpeg recording command will about 50% of the time create a compressed audio stream of up to five minutes, while the video is going on well longer (tested up to 20 minute clip) Sometimes the audio is correct and sometimes just chipmunks squeeking. Here is the command #! /bin/bash out=${1-~/record.mov} ffmpeg \ -y \ -f pulse \ -i default \ -f v4l2 \ -input_format mjpeg -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 25 \ -i /dev/video0 -c:v mjpeg -q:v 2 -ac 2 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 44100 \ ${out} When it works the audio is only one or two frames off, but it fails more often than it is correct. Another weird symptom is that I see regular periodic clusters of a video frame repeating itself 14 times, which obviously shows up when viewing. anybody have alternate recipes for 720p A/V capture from a USB2 webcam that supports MJPEG? I am considering running audio save to a separate file (arecord for audio and ffmpeg for video) and muxxing them in cinelerra later on, but obviously would prefer it work out of the box.

Updated website changed links in CinelerraGG_Manual.pdf
by Phyllis Smith 27 Dec '25

27 Dec '25

Git for "cin-manual-latex" has had 12 files updated for the corrected links that changed for the updated CinGG website. I also verified correctness of non-CinGG url links, corrected a couple of outdated ones, and deleted a YouTube one that used to demonstrate color banding ( https://youtu.be/KL8CIZej19o) - which came up with something totally different. It would be nice to find a good replacement though. Also updated CinelerraGG_Manual.pdf on the website but not the HTML pages yet.
