Cinelerra-GG new monthly builds ready for download
The new monthly Cin-GG builds are ready for download. Visit the website and while you are there, check out some changed pages as Sam keeps things fresh: cinelerra-gg.org The shuttle connections have been tested most on Fedora, a little on Mint 18, and barely on Ubuntu 16 and Leap 15. Do not hesitate to contact us if problems as we could not test all distros and you might want to wait for feedback from Pierre who will be doing real use testing before ordering a shuttle. Features5.pdf includes section 40.29 on usage and initial setup. Only a 1 time setup per Operating System should be required for non-root usage.
As root, just copy a file that provides the necessary permissions to use the shuttle. A sample copy would be: # cp {cindat_path}/doc/99-ShuttlePRO.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ShuttlePRO.rules then the next time after you reboot, the permissions should be correct.
Copy of this month's release notes follow. gg/Phyllis ------------------------------------------------------ Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 01/01/2019-01/31/2019 for builds 1. The O/S for all of the distros that are used in creating the monthly builds have been updated. This takes an intense 2 days of work for a little over 20 distros and usually gets done quarterly. 2. x264 and x265 libraries have been updated to the latest version at the time. And it has been recently brought to our attention that if using x264, you can do 10-bit as well as 8-bit with the standard monthly builds (thanks to Terje notification). For rendering, the opts video file for x264- 10bit.mp4 has been added to facilitate usage. 3. Cin now supports the ShuttlePROv2 and ShuttleXpress devices and can be user modified. 4. Drag Handle usage has been reworked. Besides Ripple, Roll, & Slip, there is now Slide and Edge. 5. Usability Improvements Add double edge insert and overwrite with highlight. “Fast” drag mode now allows for moving the effects, labels, keyframes, and autos along with the clips and honors the Settings pulldown checked items. Reset buttons have been added to 23 more plugins: Brightness/Contrast, Gamma, Hue Saturation, ReframeRT, Sharpen, Polar, Wave, Whirl, Blur, Radial Blur, Linear Blur, and Zoom Blur, Oil painting, Unsharp, Rumbler, YUV, YUV411, YUVShift, Swap Channels, ShiftInterlace, RGBShift, Translate, and Swap Frames. Contribution from another programmer. You can now dump the last 32 un-do’s in the undo stack on your terminal window if start cin there. Because cut and paste behavior was new last month, there has been some minor changes and additions to fine-tune specific areas. Groups can now be single source dragged. 6. Bugs/Issues Fixed Thanks this month to all of the users who took time to report bugs in MantisBT. It takes your time to do that but everyone benefits. The Dump Assets in File pulldown was crashing but is now fixed. Delete_edits optimize was causing a crash in drag and drop mode. Code cleanup to combine 2 separate color header files. Updated CineRmt which provides a remote control for using cinelerra on broadcast TV. A bug in ReframeRT with the settings has been fixed. Fixed bug in Rotate plugin of an issue when you move the draw pivot out of the canvas on bottom. Rework paste edits to accommodate new capabilities. Removed “code for lost auto” put in February 26, 2018. Changed build scripts to not allow an mjpeg v4l, non-version 2, build. Fixed Tip of the Day to rotate through the tips instead of always showing the same one. Create separate groups instead of adding to an existing group. Expanders.txt has had an additional time plugin added. Batch Render has been fixed to report the filename when it gets an error (was null). Render Farm had an additional field (now 6) added awhile back that caused the batch render columns to be incorrectly recorded because it only had 5 columns. This has been fixed. Users who change from batch render to render farm MAY BE IMPACTED but the workaround is to delete the $HOME/.bcast5/Cinelerra_rc file. DVB channels/tv fix ups as prompted by work of MatN. Removed build requirement of ESD sound driver. Batch render segv on boot defaults fixed. Blue Banana plugin bug fixed where a draw was happening inside destructor code. A potential hang when freeing locks has been corrected. Mjpegtools has been modified because there was a typo. The default ffmpeg audio and video icons were corrected with Sam’s logo (a mistake here). Shortcuts.html accessible from Cin has been updated. Differences.pdf was updated on the Server.
Update on the latest builds as a result of feedback. The new monthly Cin-GG builds are ready for download. Visit the website

Cin now supports the ShuttlePROv2 and ShuttleXpress devices and can be user
modified.
A couple of problems found by Pierre while testing: 1. This one is easily fixed on your O/S but will prevent the newest ShutltePRO's from initially working at all. The vendor string name is slightly different. You will have to add to the 99-ShuttlePRO.rules the following line to the other 2 lines: ATTRS{name}=="Contour Design ShuttlePro" MODE="0644" and replace the file in /etc/udev/rules.d and the next time you reboot it will take effect. 2. Fullscreen mode in Composer and Viewer was not working. A fix has been generated for the Shuttle but not checked in yet. 3. The file 99-ShuttlePRO.rules is supposed to be in the cinelerra/doc path but may not be for every distro. I have to look into this yet. Another comment about the Shuttle - if users find a better key setup, just let us know and if it makes sense, we can change to a more robust default.
Drag Handle usage has been reworked. Besides Ripple, Roll, & Slip, there is now Slide and Edge.
I have to study very hard, IgorB's last email. We carefully compared the old and the new and GG created an algorithm that was consistent for coding purposes. Until I understand what the problem is, I do know what to say. Fixed bug in Rotate plugin of an issue when you move the draw pivot out of
the canvas on bottom.
This is NOT fixed. I inadvertently thought it was and failed to test. Will have gg look at it next time he gets a chance. There are also a few odds and ends in the MantisBT that are only partially complete and I had hoped to get gg clean these up but got bogged down with other things. Thanks for your patience, gg/Phyllis
