The "Story of Dav1d" with Cinelerra builds (AV1 decoder)
by Phyllis Smith 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

As pointed out by Andrew (BT #214), using libdav1d as opposed to libaom for decoding (no encoding) is so attractive because it pretty much runs at full speed. So when FFmpeg 4.2 included the compile option for this, we were highly motivated to put this in as the default for AV1 media loading/editing. AV1 is yet another codec that seems to be newly relevant. However as mentioned in a previous email, dav1d inclusion was a big problem for the older system monthly builds. First, meson had to be at or above version 47 and only 5 out of 18 build systems were. Consequently, GG ended up eliminating the "meson" requirement and substituting the standard "make" instead. Then the "nasm" assembler on some of the older systems was not able to compile Dav1d so they had to be switched out for a newer/working version (11 out of 19 were OK). If we had known the problems that would be encountered in applying libdav1d, I wonder if we would have included it at this time? Also, as mentioned in the BT #214, a remapping for decoding with libdav1d being the preference is in the {cinelerra_path}/ffmpeg/decode.opts file. To revert to using libaom instead for decoding, you will need to comment out the line: remap_video_decoder libaom-av1=libdav1d every time you update Cinelerra. We have not tested what happens if there is either no libdav1d or libaom so if that creates a different problem, we will have to address that. gg/Phyllis *The following information is for the people who do their own builds.* The easy workaround, if you do not care about AV1 files, is to add to the configure line in your script: ./configure .... --disable-dav1d The better fix, is to upgrade nasm to at least 2.13 or higher. Here is the list of the problem distro systems: *libdav1d requires minimum nasm>=2.13 && meson>=0.47 * *In the chart below * designates compile works, x designates compile fails* *meson nasm os kernel* 0.51.2 * 2.14.02 * arch linux (5.2.9-arch1-1-ARCH) missing x 2.10.07 x centos 3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 0.21.0 x 2.11.05 x debian8 3.16.0-10-amd64 0.37.1 x 2.12.01 x debian9 4.9.0-9-amd64 0.37.1 x 2.12.01 x debian9i 4.9.0-9-686-pae 0.49.2 * 2.14 * debian10 4.19.0-5-amd64 0.47.2 * 2.13.03 * fc28 5.0.16-100.fc28.x86_64 0.51.1 * 2.13.03 * fc29 5.2.7-100.fc29.x86_644 0.50.1 * 2.13.03 * fc30 5.2.9-200.fc30.x86_644 missing x 2.13.03 * su42.3 4.4.180-102-default 0.46.0 x 2.13.02 * leap05 4.12.14-lp151.28.13-default 0.40.1 x 2.11.08 x mint18 4.8.0-53-generic 0.45.1 x 2.13.02 * mint19 4.15.0-20-generic missing x 2.10.09 x ub14 3.13.0-170-generic 0.29.0 x 2.11.08 x ub16 4.4.0-159-generic 0.45.1 x 2.13.02 * 4.15.0-58-generic missing x 2.10.09 x ub14i 3.16.0-77-generic 0.46.1 x * slk32 0.46.1 x * slk34 *Summary:* meson 14 fail, 5 succeed nasm 8 fail, 11 succeed To get a working set of builds for the month, the way gg used was to: - generate a Makefile for x86 to replace meson (for now). - copy nasm "NASM version 2.13.03 compiled on Feb 2 2019" to: debian8 debian9 debian9i leap03 ub16 ub14 ubuntu mint18

FFmpeg 4.2 new filters
by Andrea paz 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

To test the new filters that come with the 4.2 (colorhold, xmedian, etc), just copy the entries in plugins.opts? After that they appear in resources --> video effects and you can try them out?

Bug when building from Git, FFmpeg fails on libdavd1
by Miroslav Rovis 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi! Installing Cinelerra from git, on a Debian variant (Devuan), following the PDF Installation documentation, doing the recommended --with-single-user build, I got this error: gcc: error: /Cmn/src/cin/cin/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/../thirdparty/dav1d-0.4.0/usr/local/lib*/libdav1d*.a: No such file or directory C compiler test failed. This change allowed me to, going from zero ground, build and install Cinelerra correctly: $ diff cinelerra-5.1/configure.ac* 416c416 < [ usr/local/lib*/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdav1d*.a ], --- > [ usr/local/lib*/libdav1d*.a ], Sorry for lack of time to make a proper patch. Also I'm not aware if that "x86_64-linux-gnu" is present or not in all distros, so this may not solve it for other distos, but instead make a failure, if they the libdav1d*.a is not in that dir.

To be able to register to forum, cookie domains to allow?
by Miroslav Rovis 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

I have, as can be seen from attached Screen_190828_1309_gdO_1.jpg unchecked "Allow sites to store cookies and data", i.e. not allowed by default. And I allow "Exceptions" as can be seen from attached Screen_190828_1309_gdO_2.jpg In which same JPEG with exception (i.e. those are allowed), it can be seen that I added: cinelerra-gg.org It seems not to suffice... Which other domains are necessary to allow to be able to register to the forum? Namely it wouldn't allow me to reset the password. Thanks! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr

Latest GIT checkin includes FFmpeg upgrade + Masking
by Phyllis Smith 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi, Today's checkin contains an upgrade from FFmpeg 4.1.4 to 4.2. No problems are expected in this area and probably later today the patch to use dav1d will also be checked in, but are still working out the logistics and might have some questions. The 3 week delay since the previous checkin was due to many, many problems coming up with a method and strategy to speed up Feathering (mostly)in Masking for both OpenGL and X11 software driver variations resulting in the same looking output. Any additional minor or major testing would be appreciated! Ubuntu16 test build will be available later today. I did not know that this Masking change was going to take nearly this long, so any commitments to address other issues that I made are no longer going to happen as I had planned. Oh well. Phyllis/GG

I think there is still a synchronization problem: I wrote a reply to issue #279 two days ago and it hasn't appeared yet.

Jump and Insert a Auto keyframe by Overlay window
by Igor BEGHETTO 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

To jump among keyframes we have the buttons in Main window and the shortcuts, but we can not jump among Autos keyframes. If possible, I would like to suggest something like in my photomontage added. I inserted three little buttons for each Auto: one for jump backward to the next Auto, one for create a new Auto in cursor position and the last one for jump forward to the next Auto. That would only work on Armed tracks, of course: if I press on "create a new Auto in cursor position" where a Auto keyframe exist, that Auto keyframe is deleted (toggle); and the jump features would work only for the Armed tracks, and for its specific Autos like Create (Delete) a new Auto. What do You think about? Thanks IgorBeg
