Missing plugin MOTION CV caused heavy error
Hello everyone, I need your support for making the Motion CV plugin usable for me again. The background: I started working on a huge project in April this year with my team. We made heavy use of motion tracking. To achieve this we made several tests with all available motion plugins in April 2020 and decided to only use "Motion CV". Nobody knew, we chose an effect which would deleted only few month later. I couldn't even imagine something like this happening. We worked on our project for more than a month. Due to the pandemic it came to a sudden hold in May. Today we wanted to start finishing the project. When I opened the file in Cinelerra I surprisingly got the massage that the effect "Motion CV" was unknown. As I figured out, you deleted this plugin in September. I am happy to hear that the new motion plugin is much better and I will use it in the future. But now I need to render my project from April exactly in the way it was made. But this is impossible now due to the disappearance of our most used effect. I checked the syntax in the project XML. There are several differences between "Motion" and "Motion CV" so that just renaming the effect in the file did not work. I red that the old motion cv plugin is still in the libraries and downloaded it. But as I have no clue how to reinstall this into my running system I need your support. The handbook is not describing how to reinstall deleted plugins. Is it possible to reinstall the plugin by myself? Or can you provide the plugin again with the next update? I'm looking forward hearing from you to save all the work we had with our project. Best regards, August
This is really a bad problem. If you can't activate motion-cv you could use the source of an old version of CinGG that hadn't yet modified the motion plugins. If you can compile you can find them here: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/src/ Instructions on how to compile can be found in the manual.
Hi August, what is your Operating System? I am using UbuntuStudio 16.04LTS (64bit) and I saved all the "cinelerra-5.1-ub16.04-yyyyMMdd.x86_64-static.txz" static release on my Hard Disk. They are standalone version. So if you are using an Ubuntu 16.04 I can send you the Cinelerra-GG release with the old "Motion CV". Let me know, please. IgorBeg

I think you can rebuild CinGG with this part of patch reverted: https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/cinelerra.git;a=blobdiff;f=cinel... diff --git a/cinelerra-5.1/plugins/Makefile b/cinelerra-5.1/plugins/Makefile index 05323bb86c1fea75ec73a91ef63a24e9363f74ef..178e0ef210f49b3f291973efc9194b71d373d43b 100644 (file) --- a/cinelerra-5.1/plugins/Makefile +++ b/cinelerra-5.1/plugins/Makefile @@ -101,8 +101,6 @@ DIRS = $(OPENCV_OBJS) \ loopvideo \ motion \ motion51 \ - motion-cv \ - motion-hv \ motion2point \ motionblur \ normalize \ @@ -171,6 +169,9 @@ DIRS = $(OPENCV_OBJS) \ theme_unflat \ theme_cakewalk \ +# not maintained +# motion-cv \ +# motion-hv \ # too costly # findobject \ # greycstoration \ basically remove "#" before motion-cv line, and build as usual.... Installed plugins on 32-bit system live (by default) in /usr/lib/cin/plugins, for 64-bit look at /usr/lib64/cin/plugins i think .... not sure if binary plugins from older version of CinGG will work in new :/
Is it possible to reinstall the plugin by myself? Or can you provide the plugin again with the next update?
I'm looking forward hearing from you to save all the work we had with our project.

August, Sorry for the inconvenience but the revised Motion plugin by Georgy was just so much improved that the hope was to prevent future confusion about which Motion plugin to use. There was concern about existing past projects but a workaround existed.

Any of the suggestions already provided from Igor/Andrea/Andrew should work. I tested Andrew's idea of binary plugin from a previous version and that worked for me on Fedora O/S and this could be the easiest way for you to go, although I did not do extensive testing. But I will have to send you the binary Motion-CV plugin for your particular Operating System once you let me know. Directions are below. Is it possible to reinstall the plugin by myself? Or can you provide the
plugin again with the next update?
1) A fairly easy way to proceed is to download the 10/31/2020 static tar from the website for your O/S. The reason for this is because if there is a problem, you will still have what you are currently using for CinelerraGG and it will not be impacted. 2) Create a new directory to unpack this static tar as in these directions: cd /path --- do NOT use the word path but substitute your directory name mkdir cin cd cin tar -xJf /src/path/cinelerra-5.1-*.txz --- do NOT use src, path, or * but substitute your downloaded name 3) Let us know which operating system and version you are using so I can provide the binary Motion-CV plugin. 4) Copy the sent motion-cv.plugin file to where you unpacked the static tar, under the /whereyouputcinelerra/bin/plugins/video/ directory. 5) Manually start this version of Cinelerra (usually this would be /whereyouputcinelerra/bin/cin) 6) Look to see if Motion-CV shows in the Resources window under the Video Effects. It automatically did when I tested in Fedora. If it does not, go into Settings->Preferences, Interface tab and click on "Reload plugin index". The above is much easier than it sounds. If you want to try this, remember to email Operating System and version number. ...Phyllis
Update for others -- I "thought" I had provided the Ubuntu 20 motion-cv.plugin directly to August yesterday but am attaching it again here in case it got lost. is it possible to reinstall the plugin by myself? Or can you provide the
plugin again with the next update?
OK, the binary is attached. Please let us know if it works for you or what the problem is if you have one. It is very rare that things are deleted from CinelerraGG but let us hope this workaround works. I do not see an update in the near future and it is very unlikely that Motion-CV will be put back.
