************* Release Notes *****************
GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 07/01/2024-07/31/2024
Picons for Chromakey Avid and Color Swatch plugins added to be seen in the Resources window
under Video Effects provided by IgorBeg.
Chromakey Avid help with Alt-h when running CinGG has been corrected by SGE. Since this affects
doc/Context_Manual.pl, anyone who has customized this will have to refer to ~HOME/.bcast5 .bak
file to reincorporate their specific changes.
Multibit x265 is now the default build for all appimages which only affects encode for x265 so that
now the 10-bit and 12-bit x265 render formats will work. The 8-bit render format (h265.mp4)
and other h265 formats that exist should continue to work as before. So there will no longer be a
separate AppImage, CinGG_yymmdd-x86_64-multibit.AppImage. If doing your own build and for
some reason you prefer not to build with 10 and 12 bit x265, delete thirdparty/src/x265*.patch*
before compiling and modify thirdparty/Makefile as described in the Manual. As a side note, you may
have to rebuild your video index the first time you use the 10/12 bit render formats, but only if you
encounter an error message. Much information and testing was provided by Terje and Andrea.
Performance tips from Stefan have been added to the manual:
- when working with multiple tracks containing video at opacity 100%, if you just want to play one
track, disable "Play track" in the patchbay for the other tracks. This uses a lot less CPU.
- for playing a track that has attached Video Effects you can decrease CPU usage considerably if you
temporarily disable the Video Effects.
Manual updates by Andrea include a number of improvements, additions, and changes.
