Summary Report for week Dec. 1 through Dec 7 for Cinelerra-GG website
by Phyllis Smith 09 Dec '18

(Andre Gronwald suggested a weekly list, so trying it for this week to see how it goes) *Summary Report for week Dec. 1 through Dec. 7 on Cinelerra-GG* *Website:* - Received good reviews so far and appears to be very stable. - Sam continues to work on all aspects of the server and website behind-the-scenes. - Builds of cinelerra-gg, tars and pkgs, became available for the first time here. *Forum:* - Tutorial links added in Italian and German by Andrea and Wolfgang. - How To link for using CLUT and LUT by Andrea. - Demos added by Glen and Andrea showing the capabilities of Cinelerra in a very entertaining way. And Hellcat link by Wolfgang is in Q&A. *BugTracker:* - Seems to be a “hot’ item and it is much better for keeping track of issues than the mailing list. - The MantisBT software name is misleading. It is useful for “Feature” requests using the Severity field. But that’s not all, log any website, forum, bugtracker/documentation requests/suggestions/bugs. - About 17 issues were created in this first week. Go and look at these for details: 1 highlight resource window list items in usefulness 2 masking enhancements and improvements 3 new windows feature does not work properly 4 need to see places used and unused in timeline for a particular media 6 add a reset button to the video/audio plugins 7 real drag and drop and delete without having to lock tracks 10 larger thumbnails in clip tab 11 guicast/bccmdl.py not python 3 compatible 14 forum: editing title/post subsequently 15 forum: add login/logout 18 MantisBT defaults to subscribing all users to all updates 25 Gui HiDPI future support 26 Error deleting in timeline 27 In titler, some fonts can not be selected from drop down 28 Add titler own background paper 29 Cin crashes upon clip creation 30 Gitweb feature request for snapshot

Hi guys, The translator DeepL, who works with artificial intelligence, now also offers Russian. I can recommend this translator to anyone who wants to translate into other languages. This translator has an extremely good translation quality, much better than the Google Translator. https://www.deepl.com/translator Sam --

I modified the file expanders.txt; I added two new sections: Time and Test; and I added/deleted several filters in the existing sections. You can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yh40h4q84ofci17/expanders.txt?dl=0 What do you think?

Smooth transition
by Danny Schmarsel 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Hello guys, I am very happy you all found a new home here. The website is great and I can see you've all put a lot of work into it. If you ever need any help, you can count me in. FYI: I've made another update on the CV website and redirected all old links to the new website - people already wrote me on my personal mail address about why the GG repositories weren't working anymore. :P That will hopefully stop the questions and bring more people over here. Also: I still own the Facebook site. In a wise move I named it @cinelerra back when I created it, so it'd be useable for this project now. It's got an existing userbase of over 200 people and I'd be happy to add more administrators if you're interested: https://www.facebook.com/cinelerra/ -Danny

Re: [Cin] Monitor profiling
by Pierre autourduglobe 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Hi Andrea, I would have preferred to answer you directly on the forum, but it seems impossible to "copy" text into the answer window. I also calibrated my monitors. My probe is not a "Spyder5" but rather an "i1Display Pro" from X-rite. The proprietary calibration and characterization software that comes with my probe does not work under Linux (but even under Windows I didn't like it that much...). So I chose to use the free software "DisplayCAL" (https://displaycal.net) on Linux, Windows and Apple, which works in collaboration and requires the reference color bank of the software "ArgyllCMS". I know they are compatible with the "Spyder5". I am very satisfied with it, I have calibrated all my monitors to the "Rec. 1886" standard offered in the menus. As you probably know, this only concerns the adjustment of monitors for their general use on the computer. Ideally, the software used should then be corrected individually if it supports the option. Right now, I don't think Cinelerra can. Pierre > I tried to profile my laptop monitor with the Spyder5 and DisplayCal. > The first image is the profile I normally use, calibrated on the D50 and which I find restful for my eyes: > D50 > The following image is made after going to Nvidia-settings and applying a hardware reset in the display section. The color temperature is so high that your eyes will be sore after a few minutes: > Hardware reset > This is the result of the calibration with the colorimeter: > Spyder5 > I think he's got a bad greenish dominance. > I did the calibration while the D50 profile was active. Is that a mistake? Don't profiles have to be set during calibration? > Or is it okay and is it only my habit to warm colors that makes me look wrong? > Again: what does "hardware reset" mean? Does it mean that the monitor is actually factory calibrated in this way? > > [There is not difference on screenshot; in live view there is difference!]

Preview Vicon and red bar highlight
by Igor BEGHETTO 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

I would like you to focus on the powerful Preview Vicon that I called friendly "Spyder mode" for convenience. It works very good with one video track in timeline. However, in any cases you may have a few parts of a video on more video tracks and there, the "Spyder mode" is complicated. Moreover if you have many tracks on timeline (let say more than five?) with the "Spyder mode" you find the "x" coordinate on timeline but not the "y" (which track?). This discussion is just to focus on a possible problem/solution. I didn't find a name in the messages for that feature; sorry if I didn't see it. If any, can you (Developers) give a special name to this feature, please? Will be fine, I think. I added screencast about it: https://www.datafilehost.com/d/59aa2f9f What do you think about, please? Thanks IgorBeg PS: Too many place where to write. (Maybe I am on the wrong place)

Today's GIT repository checkins + Ubuntu16 and Mint 18 test builds
by Phyllis Smith 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Because this covers a couple of BugTracker issues, I thought it best to email a summary. 1) Adjustable size for thumbnails in Resources window for Media, Proxy, and Clips via Settings->Preferences, Appearance tab, Layout section right hand side. Defaults are as what has been in effect. View thumbnail, bigger number = bigger thumbnail. Vicon memory size = how much memory to use for each vicon -- this helps solve the pixelization when making the thumbnails bigger but takes more memory. Vicon color mode = low, medium, or high - also takes more memory. 2) Wheel mode to temporarily make preview thumbnail bigger. This is nice and we did not even know you could do this in the browser. You only use this in preview mode - wheel the middle mouse button up or down after you click on the thumbnail and get into preview mode. Once in that mode, you can either wheel on the thumbnail itself or the preview. 3) Clips now also have a preview mode, but only a still image instead of the 5 second play. 4) 2 bugs in Proxy Resources window display were fixed where the thumbnails were just plain crazy. Part of the craziness occurred when the media had more than 1 proxy type - that is a proxied mp4 and a proxied webm, for example. 5) The drag select white bar highlight was not always correctly highlighting. This was a bug we discovered while looking into a solution for issue #7 (which is scheduled to have work start on some of it tomorrow). 6) Inter-View mode - This is the EXCITING NEW FEATURE prompted by Pierre's request. We were dubious at first, but now think it is a very useful function for more than 1 reason. A short how to is next. - do your editing as usual - make sure you are in Preview mode in the Resources window; that is the right facing green colored arrow to the left of the word Search which is surrounded by a gold color when enabled. - middle mouse click on a thumbnail in the Resources window and a popup occurs of that media with a white colored bar at the top and a red colored bar at the bottom The bars represent the presence or absence (the black sections) of where that media is used on the timeline. Here are the buttons: - click on the top white or black spaces in the top bar, and in the Viewer, the In/Out [/] pointers will show location of that edit - click on the bottom red or black space in the bottom bar, and in the timeline and composer the position will change AND you can even drag on this line and it will correspondingly update the position in the timeline - Ctrl-click on the bottom bar and the timeline and composer are re-positioned to the beginning of that section NOTE to Pierre, point #2 in your latest Issue #5 is not feasible because the timeline and the composer should be at the same place to ensure that an insert or delete occur in the right place. -Shift-click on the bottom bar and a "selection" is made of that section and the composer is updated with that start position NOTE to Pierre, switching #1 and #3 as in issue #5 note would make this inconsistent with "shift-click" as already designated in the timeline as selecting/highlighting a section. I hope this makes sense to you. NOTE to IgorBeg, I hope you come up with a demonstration of this to put on datafilehost so other users can see it.

Bug Tracking, again
by Andrea paz 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Sorry, I still have a couple of questions about how to handle bug tracking. I wanted to ask for the following changes: a) Forum: you can change the title to insert, for example; [Solved]. Another requirement is to insert a Logout button. b) Bug Tracker: As mentioned by Pierre, make sure that every bug you enter automatically results in a notification in the mailing-list. Put a Legend for visual symbols used to describe bugs (orange dash; red arrow, etc.). c) Documentation: Also include a link to the manual-CV for basic operation. 1) Are they requested by Bug Tracker --> new features, or is the mailing list always better and, after any discussion, create the request in Bug Tracker? I don't want to clog the page with useless or even wrong requests (for my ignorance). 2) Is it better to make 3 separate requests for a), b) and c)? Or is it better to split even more, for example in the case of the forum (a), make two separate requests for [Solved] and for Logout? I apologise again for the insistence, but I think that once these doubts have been resolved I should understand the best procedure to use.
