Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity)
Release Notes for 10/01/2019-10/31/2019 for builds
Celebrating 1 year of the cinelerra-gg.org website! Without
Sam, we would not have even started or progressed this far and continued onward. Without
Pierre, we would not have had the motivation. Now moving forward with assistance of
Andrea/Andrey converting the manual to Latex, plus much help from
IgorB with testing, demos, suggestions, and photo-montages, and then there is all of
Andrew and
Olaf contributions, insights and updates, besides the testing/using/wiki updating of
MatN.
Every single user who has taken the time to log a bug, do a test, make a feature request, or simply used the software helped to keep Cinelerra alive and going strong. This includes a “Thank You” to the
lurkers.
1.
Scaling for any monitor to include 4K HiDPI monitors is now available. For usage there is an
automatic probe if you do nothing different or you can easily modify the Scaling in the Layout
section of Settings→Preferences, Appearance tab – be aware that when you click OK, the
application will restart all by itself. If you make a mistake in the value you set in Preferences, you
can workaround this by starting from a window using BC_SCALE=1 {your cinelerra path/bin/cin}
(orriginal request a long time ago from Terje, + a post in Forum and BT #25).
2.
Updated dav1d library from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0 which has good speedups (Andrew notification).
3.
Usability Improvements:
Several new Shape Wipe transitions have been added to include:
Butterfly, Circle-s, Clouds-s, Diamond-s, Venetian Blind-s, Cross-s, Diagonal-s, Double Door’s,
Gravity, Linear-s, and Plasma for an additional 25 (thanks to IgorB).
Large rework of the Shape Wipe program code to include an additional Feather (blend) slider.
Update layout of the menu (based on IgorB’s design).
Icons/pngs mods and additions for Cakewalk theme have been provided. This includes replacement
icons for the default Insertion Strategy icons (thanks to Olaf).
Added Insertion Strategy icons back in for the Load Files, Render, Record, and Menu Effects and at
the same time cleaned up this code (D. Quinton suggestion).
Mouse over the effects and transitions in the Resources window will show a short definition when
“Info on” is enabled via the right mouse button over an empty space or the shortcut of the letter “i”
(D. Quinton suggestion).
Added a “Are you sure?” when updating Preferences if a Render or Record is in progress or if a
Restart is pending (Olaf suggestion). Russian translation updated to include many more translations plus fixes (Andrew’s work).
14 new audio/video opts files to choose for a Render in the quicktime (qt) and avi categories
(Andrew contribution).
Qt files now render with automatic extension of .mov instead of .qt because mov is what works.
5.
