New image and explanation added to Manual ChromaKey(HSV)
by Phyllis Smith 02 May '24

02 May '24

Andrea has graciously added a new color wheel image + explanation to help precisely describe the image for Chroma Key HSV. It can be temporarily viewed since it is not part of the Manual yet by keying in: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/Updated_Chroma_key_HSV… and then scrolling down to "Usage". He has updated other useful information at the same time. The online Manual is ONLY UPDATED when there is a new binary release so that nothing new shows up in the Manual that is not in the AppImage / binary. (So that is why Compositor_Window.html and Compositor_window.html are still there, i.e. upper case and lower case -- this will be fixed upon the next binary/manual release).

Fwd: [cinelerra-cv-team] About copy-pasting from CV Manual to CGG Manual
by Andrea paz 01 May '24

01 May '24

---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Igor Vladimirsky <sitelve(a)gmail.com> Date: mar 30 apr 2024 alle ore 20:20 Subject: [cinelerra-cv-team] About copy-pasting from CV Manual to CGG Manual To: <cinelerra-cv-team(a)freelists.org> Each of my messages to the Cin-GG ML is moderated. This is why I have opened this thread here and restoring the chronology --------------- 28.04.2023 Andrea Paz wrote the msg to the CinGG ML. https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/pipermail/cin/2024-April/008211.html Quote: I have updated the plugins chapter, based on IgorV's updates for the manual of Cinelerra-CV. (See: https://github.com/cinelerra-cv-team/cinelerra-cv/commits/master/doc) Check that they fit. -------------------- My answer to the CinGG ML was: ------------> Do marketers of the Cin-GG Community discourage linking to sources? I want to remind them of something. The CV manual was mostly copied (many years ago) from the HV-manual & the Alex's cv-wiki. The content of the CGG manual was mostly copied from HV/CV-manuals and Features5.1 and paraphrased (in some places)/reordered for pseudo-originality & better understanding/usability (however, you did not solve the problems of the previous manuals). + you described well the new functions made by William Morrow aka GoodGuy (but not all as far as I remember). The content was copied from hv-cv_mans to cgg-man without providing links to hv-cv_sources and contributors. The CGG-manual contains only this: Information contained in this manual is a description of the CINELERRA-GG program usage and was obtained from various sources to include different communication channels, emails, common knowledge, and write-ups as new features were added In CV: This manual originates from "Secrets of Cinelerra", an excellent primer written by Adam WILLIAMS from HEROINE VIRTUAL LTD. In 2003 Alex FERRER created a Wiki based on that manual and added many screenshots and topic descriptions. The CV-manual contains a list of its contributors. So, - I provided a description of how chromakey-hsv works not for the CGG-manual, but for the CV-manual. Therefore you have to indicate the source. - Marketers of your community should finally make an effort on themselves and indicate the main sources of origin of the contents of the CinGG-manual. Good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- As expected, the msg above did not pass moderation in the GG-ML and was banned. However, I see some progressive changes here https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git;a=shortlog BTW, The traditional tendency (in CinGG) to not indicate sources of origin and assign the original name of the program to the fork was evident many years ago. --------------------- 30.04.2023 Andrea Paz wrote the msg to the CinGG ML. https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/pipermail/cin/2024-April/008221.html QUOTE: @igor_ubuntu (Igor Vladimirsky) See if the changes made to the manual sound good to you. https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git;a=commitdi… If that doesn't work for you, try writing something yourself (plain text is fine) and then put it here in the thread so it can be integrated into the manual. If, on the other hand, what you are asking for is that every sentenceI take from your manual report the author, then I apologize for what I have done so far. I thought that having asked your permission and then mentioning you on the mailing list (complete with a link) was enough. From now on, I will not resume sentences written by others to avoid these problems. -------------------------- --------------------------------- My answer (here, in the freelist): Andrea Paz, you know that my messages are moderated. Therefore, your proposal to write something to the gg-ml sounds like a mockery. If you carefully read the original of my message, you can see that there is no requirement in it quote:"that every sentence I take from your manual report the author". I talk about chromakey and about indicating the main sources of origin of your manual.. However, for the future: Texts written by me for my blog/yt-channel and transferred to the cv manual 1 - may only be copied to cgg-man with my permission. 2 - you may copy them only after indicating that this text was written by .. and was copied by you from cv-man to gg-man 3 - the copied text must have a direct link (to the original) in the text, and not somewhere at the bottom of the page. I have no desire to improve (neither directly nor indirectly) cgg-manual and I do not want to be an anonymous hero. I don't really hate cgg, but marketing I just can't stand. You can, of course, copy other text from cv-man without any conditions (it is under GPL). We all use open sources, in particular the mailing list archive. Phyllis finally indicated the sources of the cgg manual. It's enough. Until today, I have not taken the text from your manual. But if you copy/paste texts for cv-man, then don’t be surprised if I will copy/paste texts from the cgg-man. However, I have no plans to do this. ---------- Now, Andrea, please, take the link to this message and send it to the GG ML. So that we don't "play with a damaged phone". IgorV

OT: when you try to record dolphin, but result is mostly radio interference
by Andrew Randrianasulu 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

My long-time friend Julian trying to record some underwater acoustics with resident dolphin known as Randy. Well, long chain of equipment (hydrophone, pream, macbook with some adapters because apple eliminated normal separate audio line in/outs) resulted in this: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Mm_Gt8XneZI5fFAgJcy4lE6G5vNcALlI?us… For some reason Audacity for mac refused to record above 44.1 Khz sampling rate, so all sound still limited to around 22 Khz frequencies. I suggested Ubuntu studio 24.04 but while personally testing my suggestion I run into problems, spend some time resetting win 8.1 on laptop (there was magical command to make Windows boot again but you need Windows install image for it to work ...)

HTML manual
by Andrea paz 27 Apr '24

27 Apr '24

Trying to open the html manual directly from the website, I no longer get to the cover and context menu, but I get to our repository list files. See video: https://streamable.com/o4dryf This has been happening for a couple of weeks. I don't know if it's my fault and the endless ad-blockers I use in my Firefox...

amdgpu_top

https://github.com/Umio-Yasuno/amdgpu_top?tab=readme-ov-file Written in Rust, but Arch should have binary package. I think this one should display encode/decode gpu utilization separately,at least according to screenshots.

av1 hw decoding

26 Apr '24

It seems problem surface for OBS software too: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/10213#issuecomment-19311400… Can you try to set codec to generic av1 (or av1_vaapi) via our video codec mapping override (somewhere in manual)

AgingTV plugin issue
by Phyllis Smith 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

(ometimes I just can not stop myself and just had to look at AgingTV.) I think I found the problem. If everything is unchecked and then one of the 3 items of Scratch, Pits, or Dust is checked BUT set to zero, you can still see that item in the compositor. Grain is either on or off and works as expected. The good news is that at least you can designate which type of aging you want, be it grain, scratch, pits, dust, or all or none. I will log a BT on this in case anyone wants to look at it in the future.
