Slight update for differences.pdf
by Phyllis Smith 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

For some reason, today I decided to update the differences.pdf file at: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/differences.pdf The * in the rightmost column shows lines I changed - not very many, just 25 of them. But the previous last update was 10/25/2019 so I wanted to get it up to date. I did not update the count for formats, codecs, colormodels, decoders, encoders and muxers but will try to do that when FFmpeg 5.1 is released and updated on CinGG.

Checked into GIT, updated tiff and libogg
by Phyllis Smith 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Just checked into GIT, tiff which went from 4.1.0 to 4.3.0 and libogg from 1.3.4 to 1.3.5. I did do a test to read in and render tiff sequences and ogg video files and saw no issues. The updated libraries look innocuous but had not had updates for a year or 2. (Andrew, I made sure tiff-4.1.0.patch1 was carried over to tiff-4.3.0.patch1.) Also want to update libvpx but have not found the latest version and its relevant version number yet. And fftw-3.3.8 is now at version 3.3.10 on the web, but for some reason when I change configure.ac from 8 to 10, CinGG still creates 8 and then looks for 10 so the compile fails. If I delete fftw-3.3.8.tar.xz in thirdparty/src directory and have only fftw-3.3.10.tar xz there it works, but I should not have to do that. More details available if you understand what the problem is and can make a suggestion for me to try. Thanks, Phyllis

A recommendation for Cinelerra-GG
by Pierre autourduglobe 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Ubuntubuzz.com offers Cinelerra-GG in combination with Natron https://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2022/01/install-cinelerra-and-natron-professiona… It mentions the cinelerra-gg download page. By the way... isn't it time to remove from the download page of the site (https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/downloads/) the mentions and accesses to the now very outdated (more than two years of delay on development) CinGG packages? A new user in too much of a hurry to read everything would have a really unrepresentative experience of what CinGG is now... Pierre

Monthly release with another AppImage option
by Phyllis Smith 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Monthly release ready with now 6 AppImage options: CinGG-20220131-i386-newer_distros.AppImage <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20220131-i386-newer_distros.…>CinGG-20220131-i386.AppImage <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20220131-i386.AppImage>CinGG-20220131-multibit.AppImage <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20220131-multibit.AppImage>CinGG-20220131-x86-64-older_distros-multibit.AppImage <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20220131-x86-64-older_distro…>CinGG-20220131-x86_64-older_distros.AppImage <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20220131-x86_64-older_distro…>CinGG-20220131-x86_64.AppImage <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20220131-x86_64.AppImage> The "older_distros-multibit" is the new one based on Fedora 29 which mostly matches RHEL8 and was to provide multibit as well as vdpau or maybe it is vaapi that works there. Copy of latest Release Notes **************************** GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 01/01/2022-01/31/2022 Thirdparty/Makefile build has had changes made by Andrew for using autoconf/autoreconf to support aarches64 and other distros with checking by MatN that added a couple more changes. CinGG builds on Debian 11 aarch64 (Qemu emulation) as done by MatN (with the above mods). A Shout Out to IgorBeg for his Merry Christmas and Happy New Year CinGG video. You can find this video as well as very relevant excellent guides by him at: http://www.visi1.org/cinelerra-gg_tutorials#MerryChristmasAndHappyNewYear20… Four of the Load Menu icons for the SUV theme, which looked to be hand drawn, have been improved as done by IgorBeg. This includes the Refresh, Delete, Display Text, and Display Icons. Terje and Miroslav provided corrections to the manual and Andrea/Phyllis fixed accordingly. Also, information from other users led to additional inclusions concerning proxies and AppImage workaround for text file modifications. GIF lists code has been modified to notify the user if the files are not all the exact same size – it will not load any of the files, but this prevents a SEGV. Reverted Title code added in 10/31/2021 release that fixed the “unwanted black flash” on fade in/out because it created other errors. Still waiting for response from Freelancer who provided the fix.

Editing 4K content targetting 1080p output
by Stefan de Konink 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

Hi, In my curious "document everything you don't understand in Cinelerra"-adventure. I have now content that is shot in 4K. For speed purposes I am (usually) successfully using the proxy functionality. The proxy is configured to 1/3 of the size (640x360). Problem 1; With the proxy *enabled* I drag a video in the timeline. Since my target format is 1080p I reduce the size of the camera on the video track to Z=0.170 to see the full frame (using the proxy). But when I disable the proxy, the Z value should be set to 0.500 to fill the frame. If I would instead *disable* the proxy, drag a video in the timeline. Set the Z value to 0.500, I am able to start the proxy and get the desired effect that I want: both proxied video and original video are of the same size in the compositor. Problem 2; When the proxy is disabled, the viewer shows the clip in the original resolution. I think this is expected. Now when I enable proxy editing, and then open the same clip in the viewer, the resolution is scaled (zoomed in). It feels like this is all related to the output resolution being 1080p, scaling is applied to the proxy, and the meta data is not used consistently. -- Stefan

Keyframe Adjustments Not Seen in Render
by Mark Goldberg 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

I've added a couple keyframes to adjust the curves in Histogram Bezier at the end of a clip. When I play in the compositor I see the change (lower highlights as I pan into a scene lit by the sun) as expected. When I render, either background rendering or a full render for output, it seems the changes are ignored and the curves don't change with time. Am I missing something? Regards, Mark

Fwd: Webpage Translation into Spanish
by Rafa Mar Multimedia en Gnu\Linux 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi dear Phyllis Spanish translation of the terms of the appearance tab of the configuration: Autosave continous backups = *Copia de seguridad continua* The tip in Spanish = *Cuando cierre Cinelerra se guardarán unicamente las últimas 50 copias de seguridad. Si trabaja durante mucho tiempo sin reiniciar Cinelerra, corre el riesgo de ocupar mucho espacio con las continuas copias de seguridad.* Greetings!!

Feature discussion for linear editing
by Stefan de Konink 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Recently I found a very nice introduction on linear editing for multi-cam. I finally understood how it should work in Cinelerra GG. But it is not intuitive, I would like to propose two things that could make multi-cam editing much more user friendly. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOMKP4Jgzw8> 1. As you can see from the video, multi-cam works by clicking on a Mixer. Completely counter intuitive towards anyone that works with a switcher (atem and likes) it adds video from the undecided point up to the current position when clicked on the mixer. This would be a feature request that I wonder why nobody asked for this: implement this in the opposite way. You click on a mixer A, then the timeline gets filled with that mixer (visible, or underwater). If you click on mixer B, the timeline is computed with the part 0 to timeline current position with Mixer A, and having Mixer B as start position. 2. Now you have set up your rough cut. What you would actually want is the ability to fine tune. I would like to have a drag handle functionality that would be able to modify the cut position. It should be able to move to left or right. The limits of this operation are bound by the source videos. One can move to the left beyond the left video, but only up to the point that the right video has data. The same goes for the move towards right. At this moment you can never get this right with trimming or extending, especially not when there is an audio track to match it below. Hence I think this function would benefit every editor. (feature-mouse.png) -- Stefan

Video Transitions not locking into track?
by Stefan de Konink 27 Jan '22

27 Jan '22

I am using a recent git version of Cinelerra, and I notice that I cannot drop a video transition between two pasted clips anymore. So I do see the white square as placement, but the icon after it does not follow. Neither is the transition visually applied between the two clips. (I have also seen the case where the icon isn't there, but the transition happens, but not today.) -- Stefan
