A few questions about cinelerra-gg
by Zeke Williams 14 Apr '21

How good is cinelerra[-gg] for animation post production? I mean traditional animation taken with a camera and then has to be edited on a computer. Also, if I expect stability, how good is cinelerra-gg for that? Would I be better off with a different version of cinelerra rather than cinelerra-gg? Thank you.

AppImage latest release 0331
by Phyllis Smith 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

A new AppImage is available at the following url with 20210331 as the date for newest and older distros: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/ Very few changes but the extra Memory usage is at least commented out in this version. You can see the updates in releaseenotes.pdf or below. I have to update News and information about BT #566 yet before the end of my day. ****************************************************** *GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 03/01/2021-03/31/2021* HV 7.3 modifications added to include: Posterize plugin for creating poster-like videos. Timelapse Helper plugin for speeding up video by some number of frames per block. DeJay reported a greater memory usage in the last release and the cause has been fixed temporarily. SGE completed getting the updates for latex2html officially released to make the HTML manual easier. Yoko has volunteered to do Japanese translation of the website. MatN updated wikipedia for the 0228 AppImage release and reviewed the HV 7.3 release. Andrea has continuously worked on the manual to keep it updated with recent developments. Sam has performed maintenance/updates on the server and keeps it running very smoothly. Elive support is now generously providing a stable Debian release for anyone to use.

Logging
by Andrea paz 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

I attach a text file (+template + examples + DB, etc) describing how to do a Logging workflow for medium/large projects. This is work to be done externally to CinGG, involving the use of the Mediainfo, SQLite and Datamash programs. As you can see a lot of work and a lot of time to spend, for results that may not be necessary. Anyway if someone works with big projects (I don't), I wanted to ask him if you do some kind of Logging and which one. Does the proposed workflow sound like a good idea to you? Any advice, other ideas?

HV update mods to "maybe" incorporate into CinGG
by Phyllis Smith 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

Since MatN is working on an update for wikipedia for CinelerraGG, I noticed the inclusion of Adam's HV update as stated here: "Bug fixes for running on a 4K monitor. Support for odd frame sizes in OpenGL. CR3 file format. Automatic histogram value." I can look at the changes and with some help from Andrew/Andras might be able to incorporate any simple improvements in our version. Initial fuzzy observation: 1) Bug fixes for running on a 4K monitor -- *not needed* as the 4K monitor development was done independently here and there is no correlation and no bugs have been reported. 2) Support for odd frame sizes in OpenGL -- *probably* *not needed* as a lot of work to accommodate OpenGL AND odd frame size has been done here over time. But I do not know how to check this. 3) CR3 file format support -- not sure about this. Does ffmpeg support CR3? 4) Automatic histogram value -- this should not be difficult to check to see if needed and merge in.

Any opinion on changing default "Play every frame"?
by Phyllis Smith 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

In the old days, computers were a lot slower and so I am assuming that that is why "Play every frame" defaults to unchecked. You may have noticed in the forum today that it caused a problem. Reference: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/forum/help-audio/offset-between-read-head-and-… If anyone has an objection to me switching the default to this being checked, please let me know. I think new users will benefit from having "Play every frame" enabled to avoid problems. Thanks, Phyllis

Render farm
by Andrea paz 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Since I keep having problems with multithreaded rendering (vedere https://www.mail-archive.com/cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org/msg01565.html) I tried again the render farm locally with only the threads of my CPU (8/16); but it doesn't work for me. When I try to start the client CinGG instances, instead of: RenderFarmClientThread::run: Session finished I get: RenderFarmClient::main_loop:400: Address already in use I first tried from root with ports 401 - 416. Then from no-root with ports 1026 - 1041. The result is always the same. The steps I take: - Start CinGG and activate "use render farm" and then set the 15 clients as Localhost port 1026, ..., 1041. OK to activate. - I open a terminal and start the following script: for n in 'seq 1026 1041'; do /home/paz/Desktop/./CinGG-20210228-x86_64.AppImage -d $n done - I get the message reported before and the rendering does not work. (the same happens with CinGG compiled) Any advice?

Hi, does anyone know and use pipewire as a replacement for pulseaudio and jack? Is it advisable to make the switch?
