June 2024 release is ready with the AppImages. Users who have the automatic package update for some of the recent Operating Systems using:
will already have the latest updates. See copy of June release notes below the *******.
Unfortunately, because of additional stuff requiring my attention, I made little progress on my "to do" list AND I forgot to (1) create icons for the 2 new plugins because the default ones are so ugly and (2) alt-h for ChromakeyAvid is referencing Chromakey instead and I want to figure out how to fix this myself so that I can always do it without any help.
Reminder, feedback from others who have not already done so about replacing ChromaKeyAVID over ChromaKeyHSV is appreciated.
****************************
GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 06/01/2024-06/30/2024
ChromakeyAvid is now the much improved replacement for ChromakeyHSV as ported by Georgy
from the original author’s work. Furthermore, sge added even more options with buttons on the
bottom of the menu providing useful additional options. See the Manual for usage. At this time, in
order to retain compatibility with previous projects, ChromaKey(HSV) will be retained even though it
is inferior – this could change based on more feedback. BT #662 details history of this change.
Color Swatch has been ported from HV also by Georgy which provides an assist to Chromakey
Avid (should be dragged to the timeline before Avid).
Help changes:
When executing CinelerraGG, using the Alt-h keys provides access to online help using the HTML
version of the Manual. Georgy has updated ContextManual.pl script so that Index.html can be
named differently; thus it should be updated now in ~/.bcast5 since the API version number has
been incremented to 2. Users who may have modified this script for customization purposes will have
to reference their old copy, which will be renamed with the .bak suffix, to modify the new version to
incorporate any changes they may have made. See BT #661 for correct/detailed information (since
Phyllis did not independently verify this).
Latex2html, which is the critical resource needed for CinGG Alt-h execution help to convert the latex
Manual version to html, has been updated by Georgy to include '-unicase_titles' check of filenames
for HTML pages upper/lower case duplication. Please see BT #661 for detailed information.
Manual changes:
Andrea has updated the manual to provide very detailed information on using ChromaKey Avid as
well as updating the sections on ChromaKey and ChromaKey(HSV).
User Bulhwi Cha has provided detailed corrections needed in the manual – much appreciated!
Bug Fixes:
Render Farm has had a bug in it since June of 2019 as recently discovered by Chapolin, where only
rendering the Project or a Single Frame worked as expected. In/Out points and Selection always
started from the beginning of the timeline instead of the chosen starting point, but ended at the chosen
ending point correctly. This has now been fixed by Andrew-R with reverting:
“PackagingEngineDefault::get_package_single_farm” to its original code.
