The new October 31 tars and pkgs are available to download from the website: cinelerra-gg.org You can download Ugin's lesson1 showing usage of the Projector, labels, and the updated GoTo menu from a permanent spot at: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/media/tutorials/projector_usage.mp4 Release notes can be downloaded also but a text version is below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) *Release Notes for 10/01/2020-10/31/2020 *for builds Special *thanks to Pierre/IgorB* for testing and help with great suggestions for improving Tile Mixers. A lesson in Projector usage with labels and the new GoTo menu has been *done by Ugin* (Preobraz). *1. Usability Improvements:* Transitions if disabled will no longer show on expanded tracks or be draggable (expansion is done in the patchbay). This was an email request from IgorBeg. Camera/Projector autorange icons improved (as provided by Igor Beg in BT #511). *New Timeblur plugin* was created which blurs a certain number of frames together. *Histogram plugin* Frames feature added last month did not meet the user’s specifications so has now been modified with a button to “Sum frames” instead to provide a better result. *Drag Select* and Deselect edits on the timeline (BT #494). Added Deselect Edits to MMB on the track to unselect edits within the insert pointer area or selection area (fary54 within BT #494). Spanish translations updated by RafaMar. In the Labels folder of the Resources window, a Double Click on a label will move the cursor to that label on the timeline, thus avoiding have to use the pulldown option of Go To (fary54 BT #518). Some changes in the Window pulldown of *Split X / Split Y panes* include: - The separator lines have been visibly enhanced to make them stand out a little more without making them overwhelming (quintao BT #525). - Guards have been added to the code in some areas of Split X/Y code to prevent odd behavior. - Draw of the panes has had a bug fixed and speedup added, in particular in the case of a redraw. *Gang mode* changes include: - Gang flags in the patchbay specifically when in Gang Channels or Gang Media modes will operate as set in the Master Track. For example, if when in Gang Channels mode, you turn off “Play track” on the visible audio track, none of the associated channels (i.e. the other stereo or other 5 channels will play). And if in Gang Media mode, if you turn on “Play track” for the Master Track, all associated video and audio tracks will play unless you turned off “Play track” for some of the associated audio/video slave tracks which will not play (email discussion started by Oon-Ee Ng). There is still some work to do here yet and to document. - A bug was found while working on Gang Modes where the Master Track was set incorrectly. - The gang flag was originally stored in the EDL session but is now moved in order to maintain correct rendering. This means that for any existing project, the gang mode will be set to 1 initially but then when resaved in the user preference mode, will be right the next time loaded. *Proxy changes* include: - Added 1 (1:1) as an option for proxying because by lowering the bitrate, cpu usage can be as much as 4 times lower without having to be concerned with scaling (quintao in BT #516). - Revised the menu layout based on user feedback (from several users per BT #516). *Tile Mixers* has been improved so that you can designate a rectangle area where you want the mixers to be tiled. In addition this location of the mixers will saved when you “Save layout” under the Window pulldown (IgorBeg/Pierre BT #531). *2. Bugs/Issued Fixed:* Audio Transitions when On not checked still was on - now fixed. Plugin Server problem when missing for Transitions (Andrew dmp). Another vicon render failure was determined to be the cause of a crash that has now been fixed (BT #524 by Pierre). If the program is stopped while a Render is running, for example a Transcode, there was a crash but this has now been guarded against (BT #524 by Pierre). Transitions between certain edit conditions is now more correctly handled. Record Gui “Video Mtr” button disable will now result in the menu being taken down (Fary54 BT #519). Updated shortcuts.html file. The SVG via Inkscape plugin was no longer honoring the alpha transparency channel due to changes in the Inkscape program. This has been fixed but if more changes to Inkscape are made, it could break again (Armando reported in the forum). Updated ffmpeg mpegtsenc bluray patch to get more in synch. Tweak asset equivalent for batchrender warn which was causing false alarms. Removed redundant ffmpeg leak fix (which was patch 4 as Andrew told us). Fixed “Resize Track” menu for assets in Resources window and on the timeline track to work with proxy . Also added a Reset button to easily revert to the original size, retained the Scale values when resized, and made the menu a little wider (IgorBeg BT#530). Draw vicon mode in the Resources window for “Src Target” was inadvertently not working but has now been fixed (IgorBeg BT#528). Resize bug for Filelist type assets, such as png, has been fixed. Patch provided to fix compilation when “with-commercial” is used (mehw BT #532).
