Latest GIT checkin includes FFmpeg upgrade + Masking
by Phyllis Smith 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi, Today's checkin contains an upgrade from FFmpeg 4.1.4 to 4.2. No problems are expected in this area and probably later today the patch to use dav1d will also be checked in, but are still working out the logistics and might have some questions. The 3 week delay since the previous checkin was due to many, many problems coming up with a method and strategy to speed up Feathering (mostly)in Masking for both OpenGL and X11 software driver variations resulting in the same looking output. Any additional minor or major testing would be appreciated! Ubuntu16 test build will be available later today. I did not know that this Masking change was going to take nearly this long, so any commitments to address other issues that I made are no longer going to happen as I had planned. Oh well. Phyllis/GG

Andrew: again, thanks for the informative email with sufficient data so that GoodGuy could easily fix this. A fix was checked into GIT late today.

I think there is still a synchronization problem: I wrote a reply to issue #279 two days ago and it hasn't appeared yet.

Jump and Insert a Auto keyframe by Overlay window
by Igor BEGHETTO 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

To jump among keyframes we have the buttons in Main window and the shortcuts, but we can not jump among Autos keyframes. If possible, I would like to suggest something like in my photomontage added. I inserted three little buttons for each Auto: one for jump backward to the next Auto, one for create a new Auto in cursor position and the last one for jump forward to the next Auto. That would only work on Armed tracks, of course: if I press on "create a new Auto in cursor position" where a Auto keyframe exist, that Auto keyframe is deleted (toggle); and the jump features would work only for the Armed tracks, and for its specific Autos like Create (Delete) a new Auto. What do You think about? Thanks IgorBeg

Forum and MantisBT (@Sam)
by Andrea paz 10 Aug '19

These days I tried to create a new thread on the forum and also a ticket on MantisBT that do not appear. It could be a problem with my Firefox (but I haven't changed it in a long time), or a problem with my account or other things I don't understand has arisen. It's not important and there's no hurry, but can you tell me something about it?

Very slow opening of one specific mp4 file
by Andrew Randrianasulu 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hello, all! My friend recorded video tutorial for me (in Win7), and I successfully watched it with mplayer. But attempt at editing this file with Cin-GG (from July 1 2019 + ffmpeg git) resulted in Cin process eating a lot of CPU and only showing and playing first minute or so. I wonder if this behavior artifact of my hacking, or 'normal' version of Cinelerra-GG also shows such behavior?

July monthly builds available now
by Phyllis Smith 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

The July 31 builds are now available. I am happy to report that MantisBT issue #2 for masking is finally DONE! If you have any problems with it, please just open a new ticket. It looks like the probability of ever finishing 277 issues is zero. Debian 10 package is now available since it was officially released July 7th (did not get Olivier's recommended build fixes in yet though). MantisBT issue #237 is still being worked on Compositor background color / canvas color. Release notes included below as well as at: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/releasenotes.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 07/01/2019-07/31/2019 for builds *Special Thanks* this month (of course, the usual thanks to all involved!): Andrea/Andrey are converting the manual to Latex and the long Plugins chapter is now complete. Pierre has updated the French wikipedia for Cinelerra-GG at: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinelerra IgorB has created all of the numerous Masking icon pngs/svgs for each of the themes. Sam has updated and improved the website even more – pretty much doing this on an ongoing basis. MatN has researched/tested the potential viability of using flatpak or appimage packages for distributing Cinelerra-GG to other Linux or Windows distros. See BT #261 for details. 1. Prof2, a *Profiler* that shows where a program is using up time has been checked into GIT. It can be used to determine if Cinelerra or other programs are using too much cpu in any routine. 2. *Upgraded ffmpeg* from 4.1 to 4.1.4. 3. *Masking improvements* are now complete and temporarily documented at: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/Mask_changes.pdf There are now 6 more buttons in the Mask Points section for Point, Curve, or All of Linear or Smooth to automatically smooth or un-smooth parts of the mask which saves some tedious work. Cloning and Preset Shapes are now available. You can Load, Save, or Delete Preset shapes such as a Circle, Oval, Square, or Triangle and Save/Load/Delete your own on any video track. Center and Normalize buttons have been added to “center” a mask and “normalize” the size based on the scale of the video track. The Enable buttons can now be used to enable/disable particular masks so that they are not subject to any All or Gang functions. This is in effect for Feather, Fade, Translate, Scale, and Rotate. Masking rotate and scale, because they used the wheel, were not included in the keyframe generation but now that has been fixed. Updated shortcuts.html to include mask editing key equivalences from the Help information. Addition of X/Y scaling in 1 direction so that now you have scaling in both directions (default) simultaneously as well as just scaling in the X direction or the Y direction. This also applies tp Translate so that you can move a small distance in one direction without impacting the other. Now when you enable only Boundary you can see the boundaries of all present masks at that point without having to put a gradient behind it to see. You can move a mask precisely through use of the textbox in Mask Point section or the tumblers. 4. *Usability Improvements* An additional Settings→Preferences, Interface tab of “Timeline Rectify Audio” provides a choice to use this format to have the waveform cut on the zero line, making it easier to note silent areas. Spanning Keyframes now has its own toggle so that selections will no longer automatically change. An alternative shortcut for Ctrl-m drag/drop editing is the Backspace key. Added Compositor background color choice via Settings→Preferences, Appearance (in work still). 5. *Bugs/Issues Fixed* An OpenGL fix for make_shader segment count is now in. Thanks to reports from DeJay/Andrea. A mod has been made to the colorpicker that affects the Title, Gradient, and Sketcher plugins to hopefully avoid strange hesitancy behavior. Fixed tooltip for “Use HW Device” in Settings, the Performance tab. Increased data box size for modes in the Descratch plugin. Switched to using the default theme text color instead of white for Show Overlays, Hard Edges icon. FFmpeg filters, loudnorm and dynanorm, had invalid setup so were removed from usage. In the Viewer, the audio waveform disappeared when playing but this is now fixed. Fixed outer color setup for yuv in the gradient plugin In the Sketcher plugin, a fix was added for last_xy update in the sketcher grab_event.
