Donation and DaVinci Resolve EDL
Hi Cinelerra GG users and developers, my name is Matteo Bini and I'm new to this mailing list. First of all, I would like to thank you for the amazing work you do on Cinelerra: it is a great non-linear editing software. Because of this, I would like to make a donation to support you. How can I do this? Do you accept bank transfers, credit cards... or even the horrible PayPal? My main question is about DaVinci Resolve. Is there a way to export a timeline from Blackmagic software to Cinelerra GG? I've recently finished shooting a short film, that's been edited and colour-corrected in DaVinci Resolve. I would like to edit its audio on Cinelerra GG. Do you think there's a way to move the synchronised audio clips from the two software, without having to export them by hand? Again, thank you for your incredible effort to produce Cinelerra GG and thank you for your help. -- Matteo Bini

hm, I think I am pass on this one, unfortunately we do not have 'real' developer William Morrow died in 2020 ... I only can do simple changes, I will look in DaVinchi edl format but mapping it to our (underdocumented) homebrew xml project format probably will be beyond my skills. Is your file just one continuous video track, and few audios? Or it really assembled from many movable pieces (audio + video) you want to keep while moving to cinelerra-gg?
Again, thank you for your incredible effort to produce Cinelerra GG and thank you for your help.

According to this DaVinchi Resolve supports our old friend CMX3600 both for improt and export https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=177882 ==== Re: What Format of EDL? Mon Mar 20, 2023 5:48 pm Resolve supports CMX 3600 for both EDL import and export. ==== also, they obviously have bigger manual :) but in our case *I hope* conversion can be made between (text-based) CMX3600 format and our template project via something like Python? In other words externally to main program. May be original developer (of HV variant) can help with this? https://github.com/heroineworshiper/hvirtual should I ask there ?

Welcome to the Cinelerra GG community. Unfortunately, I am not aware that you can transfer the timeline from DaVinci Resolve to Cinelerra. Perhaps someone else can provide an answer to this question. We are currently not accepting any donations. However, we will think about it and possibly set up a page in the next few weeks to support programmers and supporters financially. The legal framework has to be right for us to be able to accept donations. Once this basis has been created, we will be able to accept donations in the future. Phillis and I cover the costs for the web server and the additional expenses necessary to run the website out of our own pockets. cheers Sam Am 15.01.24 um 09:46 schrieb Matteo Bini via Cin:

Is the Davinci Format documented enough to make a mapping?
this is hopefully just extended cmx3600 - but for real examples may be Andrea can provide some files (I think he had DaVinchi Resolve at some point) there is c++ lib about this format https://github.com/bradcordeiro/libedl and infamous pdf file http://xmil.biz/EDL-X/CMX3600.pdf opentimelineio has adapter, as well as openshot/blender/flowblade https://github.com/MrKepzie/Natron/issues/1170 - some more pdfs there but they map to their own thing, not to cinelerra's xml

I do not see a direct DVR --> CinGG import possible. In any case EDL is too limited for today's NLEs. Since a CMX3600 EDL is just a list of timecodes in plain text, one might think about printing out the EDL, importing the various files into CinGG, and then rebuilding all the edit actions one by one. That doesn't seem convenient... There is a more updated paper on EDL CMX3600: http://www.editware.com/Editware-DOCs/EDLformat.PDF
From a github email cited by Andrew:
"Blender project created a Python CMX3600 EDL parser that you could use - called parse_edl.py. Using python would make it easy for users to adjust the file definition for the slight variations in EDL formats out there." It can be found here: https://github.com/tin2tin/import_edl/blob/master/parse_edl.py There is also this: https://github.com/tin2tin/import_edl PS: sorry, I no longer have DVR projects. They were just small tests without audio (to see Color Correction) but I don't have them anymore because now DVR doesn't work for me because of problems with AMD/ROCm drivers.
I am honestly interested in building something that can make Cinerella EDL's (as a simple mapping), but would be even more interested if we could abstract the functionality and make the current format 'true xml' or allow a more standard exchange format. In my perspective this would also help with my own use case where I would want to be able to do linear editing (skip the non) by aligning content first (externally), and then import it. Thanks for the hint towards <https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenTimelineIO> this really looks extremely useful. Maybe we should give it a shot, something like OpenTimelineIO towards Cinerella. -- Stefan
Hello again, Cinelerra GG users and developers. For my use case, I just need to have the dialog audio clips edited with DaVinci Resolve exported to Cinelerra GG, linking to the original files and not just a portion of them, to better mix them with ambience and music. However it's not necessary. We've decided to edit the ambience tracks with Cinelerra GG in sync with the last version of the video track. Then I'll export various WAV tracks and we'll do the dialog and music mix in DaVinci Resolve. First because I hate using proprietary software, second because DaVinci Resolve is too slow on my computer. It's a terrible software. It's too slow, even to edit audio! A nice and suckless way to have my desired feature, would be to write a small software that converts DaVinci Resolve timeline EDL in Cinelerra GG XML EDL. I probably could do it myself. I've written this email to thank you for your answers and to say to not worry about it. I love Cinelerra GG! It's a wonderful software, way better than many "professional" ones. Because of it, I would really love to find a way to support you, financially. Maybe I can pay for the hosting of the website for a couple of years? Thank you, for the great Cinelerra GG and your help. -- Matteo Bini
If you could make a program to convert xml of DVR to xml of CinGG it would be really welcome. One curiosity: to synchronize DVR audio with video tracks in CinGG do you use "Align timecodes"?
