Need some H.264 tweaking advice..
by info＠bandshed.net 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

Hi Cinners (lol) Recently at my request you added H.264 Video codec options for MOV and MKV containers and things are working well in general, I certainly don't think further changes need to be made to Cin but for my own use and workflow I'm thinking some further H.264 tweaks might be useful..? I don't generally don't assemble long projects in Cin itself, I prefer to make individual clips and put them together losslessly later with some ffmpeg concatenation File Actions in AV Linux, or using the 'append' feature in Avidemux or even using TMPGEnc SmartRender 6 (in Windows). As you know when you assemble clips this way they need to have the same codecs and settings in order to assemble without re-encoding and I would like to ensure that I'm able to use the H.264 Video from Cin Rendering all the way to assembling. If I look at the H.264 options in Cin the new H.264 options for MOV and MKV don't match the MP4 settings. For example MKV and MOV have 'profile=high' and H.264 in MP4 doesn't use the high profile and it has some keyint settings so when assembling I get some reported errors because the H.264 Video clips I created with MKV differ from clips I have made with MP4. I am not an H.264 guru or expert so is there any reason that I can't combine the profile=high and keyint settings and use the same H.264 settings across MP4, MKV and MOV? Lastly, I am now hosting my Videos for streaming on my own website due to numerous factors but mostly the proliferation of AI scraping by the large tech companies, is there an extra setting I should be using in the H.264 options to enhance streaming? Is this what the 'faststart' option is for? Advice appreciated! Thanks for the continued work on Cin, having also used both Davinci Resolve (on Windows) and Kdenlive over the past few years I still have the best productivity with Cin! Best, Glen --

Work on 3 different issues - i386 build, desktop icons for appimage, and fix audiofile patch
by Phyllis Smith 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

One bad problem - segmentation fault when rendering on older debian i386 32-bit. Was testing the new h264.mov render format when I got this error and it took a really long time to figure out when this happened. Embarrassed to find out it seems to be due to X264 upgrade in Sept. 2024! > commit 2ce09466ce02b9180d6d7ba30af02e99fca0bdc5 > Author: Good Guy <good1.2guy(a)gmail.com> > Date: Tue Sep 17 12:05:34 2024 -0600 > > <snip, snip> transfers/primaries, + update x264 from r3106 to r3191 > As far as I tested, all rendering of ffmpeg h264 failed but only 1 of the 10 loads of x264 files created on another computer failed (reindeerr.mkv). There are probably other things that might fail when editing an h264 type file but I do not know for sure. The 64-bit version of debian 11 does not fail. I guess it is safe to say, no one is using the 32-bit debian 9.1 version. Maybe Andrew can put his search moxie in play and find a patch. 2. Created a Desktop_icon folder in the download area of the website to make it easy for users of AppImage to make a desktop icon for CinGG. It is documented in the manual but no easy access to the 3 needed files. 3. Put the audiofile patch in the correct subdirectory in GIT source as Andrew pointed out and then just today deleted the one in the wrong place (so I hope it is automatic and not extra work for Andrey's builds).

There still some reported unaligned access but in general cingg on emulated hppa shows her four windows with correct icons and fonts on remote Xephyr.

"time" structure disappeared for some event-related kernel API?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26

While building cinelerra-gg on Debian 13+ forky for hppa (pa-risc) I noticed wintv/x10tv modules fails to build. Chasing error message lead me to this sdl pull request https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/7884/files via Debian bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1067616 I'll try to copy/paste same workaround to our files, but it will be nice if someone will able to test those changes with real input hardware?

Adding Vulkan presets to Intel oneVPL
by Terje J. Hanssen 12 Jan '26

12 Jan '26

Late 2024 onevpl support was added for the buildsystem with various presets using cin_hw_dev=vaapi. Maybe I simplify too much, but is it possible that current CinGG-20251121-x86_64.AppImage with ffmpeg-8 is ready to test vulkan the same way, just by replacing "vaapi" with "vulkan" in the presets? hevc_vaapi_8b420.mp4 mp4 hevc_vaapi cin_hw_dev=vaapi cin_pix_fmt=nv12 profile=main # global_quality=22 hevc_vaapi_10b420.mp4 mp4 hevc_vaapi cin_hw_dev=vaapi cin_pix_fmt=p010le profile=main10 # global_quality=22 hevc_vaapi_10b422.mp4 mp4 hevc_vaapi cin_hw_dev=vaapi cin_pix_fmt=y210le profile=rext # global_quality=22 Terje J.

Lock position of any source contents within track
by Stefan de Konink 11 Jan '26

11 Jan '26

Considering the following use case. You have an ISO (multi cam) recording from an Atem device. To redo the switching in post. I know Cinelerra supports the multi cam option. But I am looking for something else. In essence I want to say to the content of these tracks, this is the time code from 0 must never ever move the on the timeline, not accidentally, everything is locked. The only operations that are allowed: - mute - move a split/cut forward backward (but not the movement when it is before the content, I think this happens with middle mouse) I think this time line lock is useful for many editing operations, like you are tweaking any keyframes. It is a different part of editing. -- Stefan

Split clips closing gaps in timeline in Roll edit mode
by info＠bandshed.net 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

Hi, I don't do a lot of clip splitting on the timeline but recently I had some footage that I was removing 5 or 6 damaged frames from at a time and when I deleted the damaged frames the clips would shift and close the gap on the timeline. Of course I would expect this in ripple editing but I have my preferences set for "One Edit Roll" does this not prevent the clips from closing together? In the end I used the middle-click menu and pasted 'Mutes' on the selected frames so that got the job done but I thought I'd ask if this was expected split behavior even when not in Ripple editing mode. Thanks, Glen --
