CinGG monthly packages and tars ready for uploading
by Phyllis Smith 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

The new tars and pkgs are now available along with the release notes with a text copy below. Mint 19.3 and earlier Mint versions package install and static tar should work correctly - we tested both of these. The package install did see the dependency for libilmbase12 (with ilmThread and ilmIex) and installed those here as needed. A ub19 static tar is available again also. It looks like ubuntu 20 will be released April 23. Generally we build for the LTS ubuntu, even-numbered releases on a regular basis. The OGG theora/vorbis rewrite may still have issues, but most people will be using ffmpeg's version by default. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 02/01/2020-02/29/2020 for builds A *Thank You to MatN* for his continuing updates and improvements to the Cinelerra wikipaedia page. He has added a table at the start of the page with Cinelerra-GG as the first entry to emphasize that it it the one that is being continuously worked and is the most relevant one. 1. Added a *Gentoo* static and dynamic Cinelerra build in the form of tars. 2. Rewrote and *added back OGG for Theora/Vorbis *because of complaints about the ffmpeg version of ogg being a little erratic in rendered quality and size. This was email and logged to BT # 313. 3. *Updated the following 16 libraries *to the latest release version available at this time: giflib, libjpeg, twolame, tiff, x264, x265, dav1d, opus, nv-codec-headers, libwebp, openjpeg, and for LV2 – jalv, suil, sratom, lilvsord, and serd. 4. The monthly build computer *Operating System distros have been updated* if any updates needed. Of note is the upgrade from Mint 19 to Mint 19.3 where several problems have been reported. 5. *Usability Improvements:* New plugin, *ColorSpace*, has been added to convert color space/range with BT601, BT709, BT2020, and Mpeg / Jpeg along with Inverse as options. See the manual for a short description. In the Resources windows for ffmpeg media under Info/Details, there is now included the Color space and range (it will read “unknown” if not one of the standards). An example would be: “colorspace:bt709/range:tv”. Adding this information was a good suggestion from Andrea. More *improved Spanish *translations from Sergio to include the po file, tips.es, and expanders.txt which is the video/audio categorized effects. The addition of *PulseAudio* as a choice for Preferences audio driver is now part of the builds. *IMPORTANT: the shortcut for “Delete last track” has been changed* from the lower case letter “d” to Ctrl-Shift-D. Having just “d” was somewhat dangerous per Dan (Quinton?) because off screen. A “format” option button for ffmpeg in the Render menu shows up when you click on the Video wrench icon. This provides a few more tuning operators for the render for choices like mp4. 6. *Bugs/Issues fixed:* Allowing F_colorspace to be visible as a plugin. Updated Info on plugins and Expander for this and new ColorSpace plugin. Updated bld_prepare.sh to include Tumbleweed. Continuing improvements to the manual for minor corrections and to add any new capabilities. Work done in collaboration with Andrea and MatN. Another round for ffmpeg latest git version updated. Andrew keeps us informed about this so that we keep up to date for future ffmpeg official releases. A small change has been added so that the “expanders.txt” file, used to categorize video and audio effects, can be translated for different languages. In addition modified Sketcherwindow for some missing translatable phrases and a more qualified word. The Debian “rules” file has been modified to add dh_makeshlibs and dh_shlibdeps to ensure that all of the dependencies are called for in a package install. Problem came up on Mint 19.3. Changed error message in Render/Batchrender when Create Labels checked but none found (Ed).

Feedback on ColorSpace new plugin
by Phyllis Smith 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Hi, Andrea, Since these questions were under the Bodhi Linux email subject, I thought I had better start a new subject. Next is from your email: - Is it possible to put in Info --> Details, also the color space information (or if it is a Log or Raw) associated with the media? This is now in the latest checkin and works for ffmpeg loaded files only under Resources/Info/Details. If it is unknown, it will say unknown. Here is an example: file path: /root/media/Capture0000.mov ...format: mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 1 video stream vid0 (0), id 0x000063: video1 dnxhd 1920x1080 29.97 pix yuv422p10le *color space:bt709/ range:tv* - Is it possible to put the file path: DCI-P3 colour space as well? ...so we will have a more complete coverage... *Unfortunately,* this was treated differently by ffmpeg - not as a colorspace like the others so it is not available in the same manner. Although I am going to have to have him look at this again using smpte431/432 as alternative names. -A very ambitious request would be to incorporate these algorithms into the Transcode tool as well, in order to also choose the color space in addition to the audio/video codecs. In this way you would have a first hint of Color Management, with all media standardized and well managed. *Logged this as BT #384.*

Sometimes Compositor window hang
by Andrew Randrianasulu 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Sorry for a lot of noise ... I tried to play more with click-to-pan mode. It worked, but when I *additionally* enabled Click to Play mode - sometimes Compositor window just hang. If I select 'Protect video' mode in compositor - then Click-to-Play mode works as expected. Basically, try to 0) set cursor to evry beginning of timeline (home) 1) load movie into CinGG 2) in Compositor window DISABLE both Zoom mode and Click-to-play 3) Then Enable Zoom mode (marked F2) 4) Then enable click-to-play 5) Click somewhere near low part of video in compositor, around horizontal zoom scrollbar 6) It should hang Not sure if dump AFTER I made forced (Ctrl-C) quit actually useful?

Strange behavior with old Cinelerra_rc

29 Feb '20

So, I killed my Cinelerra_rc by renaming it into Cinelerra_rc_old Now, I can see fade again, and it works on all tracks as fade (if I move slider at very left) Still, may be upgrading from not very new file messed it up? I see stuff like --- VICON_DRAWING 1 DEFAULT_LOADPATH /dev/shm/4everfreebrony - Chant of Allegiance (feat.

Thanks, > gg/Phyllis > Hm, for some reason I can't make video track fade work outside of '1/0' positions. Try to load any video+audio file, and while audio fade should work as usual (nice slopes between keyframes), on video track you can only toggle fade to '1' or '0', very steep --- Aw, I mixed up "MUTE' control (toggleable between 1 and 0, obviously) and FADE control... sorry, this part work! --- Also, clicking on video track for some reason autoselect both video and audio tracks now?? (they all become inverted visually) If I click on empty space *below* tracks in main window - I can select region as usual. -- this part still behaves strangely, for me -------------------------------------------------------

ffmpeg.git.patch9 (cuda hwaccel) started to fail again ...
by Andrew Randrianasulu 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Hello, all! Just to report small observation https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/cinelerra.git;a=blob;f=cinelerr… started to fail with yesterday's ffmepg (commit 3750e36aa8ecb53764e5549470a39cd14ff6b513) Probably due to https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commit/7f149b04520c01002a2c199f856… ("lavu/hwcontext_cuda: refactor context initialisation") I just disabled this patch for my local build for now (no CUDA/nvenc software here) Another interesting recent hit in ffmpeg - Vulkan filtering, and https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commit/31d7b17c4671329a372e2762b4c… ("avcodec/hevc: add support for Frame Duplication (Doubling/Tripling)") - on decoding side, as far as I understand ....

Stupid question about pixel conversions in CinGG (xfer functions)
by Andrew Randrianasulu 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hi, all! I was looking again at https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/cinelerra.git;a=blob;f=cinelerr… and I think it works (via generated functions from guicast/xfer) by doing pixel-at-a-time, with slices done at different CPUs. Is there possibility to optionally add few stagin buffesr, so something like http://gegl.org/babl/index.html#Usage will have chance to work? "The processing operation that babl performs is copying including conversions if needed between linear buffers containing the same count of pixels, with different pixel formats." So, address calculations usually send down to Cin's own (slow?) functions will be reused to calculate size of buffer (per slice, as done by slicer function), and then babl or ffmpeg or something will transfer pixels to this new buffer, and then .. I dunno, signal 'done' to upper calling function and switch pointers to this new buffer? So, tricking Cin into thinking conversion (per sliced area) was done by its of functions, yet using different set of them (not those row-based macro expanded functions I see in build tree)? As long as pixels organized the same (row x column), and internally represented by same datatypes (like, first 4 bytes is R in float, second is G, third is B, and last 4 bytes is alpha ... for total of 16 bytes per pixel) this should work? Or I missed something?

Crash, again!
by Andrea paz 15 Feb '20

15 Feb '20

I have numerous crashes using openEDL. I don't know if they are related to the crashes I had some time ago, but these are also reproducible in root and so I got a useful dump. I simply put an edit in the clips folder using the "to clip" button (format=.3gp). Then I open that folder; RMB on the clip and click OpenEDL --> crash!

Bhodi Linux
by Andrea paz 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

I might be wrong, but Bhodi Linux doesn't have CinGG pre-installed. If this is the case, we could remove it from the Download page of the website so that AVLinux stands out more.
