Just to let you know what we are working on...
by Phyllis Smith 22 Sep '19

Since gg has not done a checkin for a few days, I thought I'd let you know what is being worked. He had started looking into making the Crop tool in the compositor do something useful. It will not be a replacement for the very useful Crop plugin, but will do different things. While in the middle of working on that, the Mantis BT issue #303 came up and that has led to much consternation as system builds for libraries besides just libvpx may be unknowingly impacted. It is going to take a lot more work to figure out a good fix for all. This problem for the different operating system distros is exactly why as stated in the manual "we recommend the single-user version when possible". Because he was already working on the crop tool, it is holding up any other possible checkins/work. IgorB: cropp.png was renamed from crop.png because there was a conflict with an already existing file crop.png which represented the icon symbol in the Compositor for the Crop tool. I am not sure about the question on the location and GG will have to look into that. Anyway, it seems to work there! Phyllis/GG

Imported sequences in Master Project and the Viewer
by Igor BEGHETTO 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Full title: From the Viewer to the Timeline with the sequences imported in a Master Project. I write here because I think it is not a bug, but may be it is important to add it in the Manual. I would like to know yours opinion/possibility. Consider you have: - a subproject with more video and audio tracks, and on the tracks there are clips, autos, effects and keyframes. - a Master Project with clips, autos, effect and keyframes. 1) In the Master Project, import the subproject (sequence) with "Insertion strategy= Create new resources only". You can see the subproject (sequence) in Resources->Clips (and its full name is the absolute path). 2) Drag and Drop the sequence from Clips to the Viewer. 3) Set In and Out Point in the Viewer and, in the Timeline, move the cursor position at the end of the tracks (for this example). 4) Click on "Splice (v)" button in the Viewer. You can see the complete Sequence (autos, effects, keyframes) in the Timeline. 5) In the Timeline, move the cursor position at the end of the tracks again. 6) This time, click on "Overwrite (b)" button in the Viewer. You can see the Sequence in the Timeline, but without its autos, effects and keyframe. If in the Timeline there were some autos/effects/keyframe, before of the Overwrite operation from the Viewer, they will still be there. This behaviour occur also with "to Clip" feature, used from Timeline and following the steps from point#2. Note_1: Remember that if you want put the sequence correctly (with all its tracks) in the Master Project you must have the same, or more, number of tracks that there are in the original sequence (the original subproject). About Note_1, I don't know if it is possible to implement by code, but could cinelerra open a little window with an alert if the tracks in the Master Project are less than the tracks in the sequence? The alert could say something like: "The sequence/clip needs <V> more video track(s) and <A> more audio track(s) in the Timeline otherwise the sequence will be incomplete. Do you want to continue? <Yes> <No>". Where: <V>= number of video tracks to add <A>= number of audio tracks to add Thanks. IgorBeg

Hi, I noticed https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/cinelerra.git;a=commit;h=a2ebbc… modified also bcwindowbase.C with patch for https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/view.php?id=297 But now I have compile error!

some problems - batch rendering warnings and opening project error, steps to have cinelerraGG officially in Gentoo
by deim31 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

Hi, few days back I was with my low-end laptop Acer TravelMate B116-M on film camp where we helped children to took videos and then we cut them to final short films. I had weakest device on camp, but must say it worked quite well. I tested hw acceleration as it was announced here and it was quite stable - laptop has Intel CPU and GPU so I used vaapi and h264_vaapi profile to speed up rendering. I tried to encode from 5 Mbps to 20 Mbps and noticed the few first frames of this hw encoded videos was quite low quality then it was better but lot of movement was lower quality also. I had problems also with this method of work: - load assets for part of video - cut everything for this part on timeline - save project - repeat for each part Then I loaded all saved parts to project as resources - it loaded saved parts as clips and all assets to resources. Then I pasted clips on timeline of final video and made final cut. Then I saved final project. Closed Cinelerra then I was unable to reopen saved project - it only showed one of clips on timeline :-( So I decided to export only parts and concatenate exported videos. The method was this: - load part - create new batch job (use current EDL button) - set output path and codecs I then wanted to run jobs but it warned about mismatch of session/job so I must render separate :-( I rendered by jobs before without problems the same way. So I don't know what the problem was. I'm using git versions - I work on Gentoo and I'd be happy to have official ebuild for this. I made first steps for that: https://bugs.gentoo.org/691102 I think it would be better to build only production versions from git i.e. if somewhere was some info about what build is last production it could be somehow in ebuild to decide to build stable or latest git version. deim

Timeline borders
by preobraz＠gmail.com 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Dear developers! Now that you have done a tremendous amount of work to improve work with Cinelerra, you can pay attention to smaller issues. For example, to me personally, the border between the tracks is not at all obvious, especially when there are a lot of them. When the content is adjacent to the left side of the timeline, I understand where the border still somehow turns out (blue stroke). But in the absence of content, dealing with borders is much more difficult (red stroke). Link: https://pic4a.ru/98/2zM.png The proposals made were difficult for me, so I had to use an automatic translator. Regards, Ugin.

Today's GIT checkin includes 2 new features + miscellaneous
by Phyllis Smith 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Contributions to Cinelerra maintenance were checked in today and am noting them here in 1 place for easy reference. Builds for Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 16 are in the cinelerra-gg/download/testing area. *Crop & Position plugin* is new and has been added to the Geometry subset (entirely available thanks to an anonymous contributor). This is very nice and very convenient. A Crop Mantis BugTracker for the Compositor and any other suggestions is issue #275 with percent versus pixel in BT #212. Now is a good time to make your wishes known on cropping in general. *On the timeline, there is now a separator line *between tracks for easier visibility (Ugin suggestion). Render menus now update top line information when you click on render via labels. Render warnings added: “no audio or video in asset format” and “render file per label and no labels”. Changed Build scripts to not build libdav1d for 32-bit systems (Olivier recommendation). Updated copyright on Settings→Preferences, About screen (patch provided by Andrew). Also on the About screen, the August Features of Note was not done but is now (MatN notify). LV2 blacklist file updated to include 2 more lv2 plugins that fail (Olivier found and let us know).
