FFmpeg version 8.0 is now in Cinelerra-GG release with the basic patches as has been in "test" mode for a few weeks so can now proceed to make other recently discovered necessary changes. Since the procedures I used to get the updated files on the new server were just a little different (better!), if you notice problems let me know so I correct my mistakes. Please see the section of the release notes below for updated server access.

https://download.cinelerra-gg.orgFFmpeg has been updated from version 7.0 to 8.0 and as a result libpostproc has been removed by the
ffmpeg team in their release; although it is still maintained separately. At this time, it is unknown
what, if any, capabilities will no longer be available in CinGG as a result.
Andrew-R did significant
work to modify the necessary patches for the new version as well as fixed issues in several C files in
the cinelerra directory as a result of the upgrade to 8.0.
Calf plugins UI (the glitzy user interface) may be an issue for the newest operating systems such as
Arch and Ubuntu 24.04 which no longer include GTK2 in their distributions. Most likely there will
be alternative locations to obtain GTK2 for these newest systems. You can still use the Calf plugins
without the UI by unchecking in the Settings pulldown, Preferences, Interface tab, Operations section,
Auto start lv2 gui flag.
Andrea discovered this problem and Adam suggested using the Linux
Studio Plugins (LSP) as a great alternative. Note that there are many other lv2 plugins besides Calf
that take advantage of the glitzy UI interface and the “Auto start lv2 gui flag” works for those also.
