oops, looks like src tarballs stopped appearing here in last year: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/src/ can you prepare new source release too (so it can be picked by fossils.org webpage) ?

Fun things to try are some of the new FFmpeg 4.4 plugins such as F_shufflepixels, F_colorize, F_exposure, and F_Kirsch.

******************* Release Notes excerpts ****************** *GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 08/01/2021-08/31/2021*

A forum post by *fary54* concerning an upgrade of the Debian O/S from 10 to 11 and a new install of Ardour on 11 has uncovered a crash problem that could affect other operating system upgrades and application installs. Basically your setting of LV2_PATH in $HOME/.bcast5/Cinelerra_rc may have to be edited to revert to the default of $CIN_DAT/lv2. Find more information in the Manual.

*Andrew R Contributions:* A fix is now in so that when using In/Out pointers on an empty track/location, “attach effect” correctly adds the plugin. FFmpeg has been upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4 since Andrew provided the necessary patch revisions and location of the tgz file. It includes some new audio/video plugin filters: chromanr, afreqshift, aphaseshift, adenorm, asupercut, asubcut, asuperpass, asuperstop, shufflepixels, tmidequalizer, estdif, epx, shear, kirsch, colortemperature, colorcontrast, colorcorrect, colorize, aexciter, exposure, monochrome . FAST_SPEED and SLOW_SPEED variables can be added to $HOME/.bcast5/Cinelerra_rc if you want to change the default Fast Forward speed to be different from the default of double speed and Slow Forward speed to be different from the default of ½ speed. Editing this file can be destructive. A new choice of EXR Sequence is now available for Background Rendering File Format in Settings, Preferences, Performance tab. For libvpx, the build now disables building unit-tests and examples, thus saving quite a lot of disk space and some compile time. Another minor code change that should have no user impact is the addition of “const” for AVCodec.

*Andrea Paz Contributions:* Testing of variations of multibit, the updated ffmpeg 4.4 version, anything newly checked into GIT. Updated expanders.txt and plugin.opts to represent new plugin filters in ffmpeg 4.4 and info updates. Manual updates as needed to include the new Speed PerCent plugin.

*Anonymous Contributions:* Speed PerCent video plugin contribution is self-explanatory in usage. This plugin will be easier for new users to locate in the Resources window and to use than ReframeRT upon which it is based. A Freelancer created the necessary CinGG fix for ffmpeg 4.4 where the last few frames were being dropped when rendering. Bluray media test and tests by Andrea found this error that was preventing the upgrade from being feasible earlier.
