FFmpeg 8.0 in CinGG
by Andrea paz 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '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.).

Cin-GG Downloads
by Terje J. Hanssen 28 Nov '25

Hi I don't know what the plans are, but I would suggest to update and enable the Cin-GG's Download menu entries and launch icons? As now, using the Download > Packages or Builds > Appimage or Packages, cause No Results Found https://cinelerra-gg.org/downloads/ Previously I noted and used these urls directly AppImage https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/?C=M;O=D Testing https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ Builds https://github.com/einhander/cin-gg-packages/releases Now only the latter Andrey's builds are working.

CinGG GIT checkin on new server for FFmpeg version 8.0
by Phyllis Smith 27 Nov '25

27 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.

Based on Georgy's email ( https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09216.html) and his further explanations, I would like to propose an addition to the manual regarding an important aspect of CinGG's operation. I am attaching a document and link to an image (https://i.postimg.cc/KjD1SXZS/AV-sync.png) If you can improve, correct, and add information, we can then consider modifying the manual.

Cin-GG Mailmann 3 - Service Restored - Email Delivery Issue Fixed
by Sam 27 Nov '25

27 Nov '25

Hi guys, We experienced a temporary email delivery issue that may have affected some of you over the past day. What happened: Due to a DMARC policy conflict, emails from certain domains (like comcast.net) were being rejected by major email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Yandex). This caused some of your subscriptions to be temporarily disabled. What we fixed: - Enabled DMARC mitigation on the mailing list - Configured DKIM email signing for lists.cinelerra-gg.org - Re-enabled all affected subscriptions (17 members) What you need to do: Nothing! Your subscription is active again, and you should receive all future emails without issues. If you notice any problems receiving emails from the list, please contact me. Thank you for your patience. Cheers, Sam

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?

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 ...

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.
