Add 16:10 aspect ratio to dropdown menu in format window?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Hello, I was screencapturing lately, and of course was confused *again* by my monitor being 1440x900 (16:10) vs 1920x1080 being 16:9 ..Of course I corrected myself, yet black bars remain ... I re-encode into 1080p for Youtube, because otherwise it really blurry :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gozlazgZOcU&feature=youtu.be you see, there is black area around actual image ... When I *finally* realized I must manually enter aspect ratio 16:10, some of those bars disappeared .... Sorry for not testing CinGG much - I have new toy: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pmoreau/mesa/-/tree/nv50_compute_support :} (no, ffmpeg's openCL still doesn't work with this)

In the Youtube channel of CinGG, there is a video presentation, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anFROt2wJLQ We promised to present a tutorial on how it is done. Already two visitors have requested the tutorial. Does anyone want to take on the task of creating a short video in order to meet the users' request?

ffmpeg.git.patch4 is not needed anymore?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hello, all! for my usual rebuild of CinGG with ffmpeg.git I found ffmpeg.git.patch4 is not applicable anymore, and ffmpeg log list this commit: https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commit/a7bd37927628df3672488e07f71… avfilter/af_aformat: Add uninit function so, i just moved this patch away from buildsystem for now. sadly, bigger patch ffmpeg.git.patch2 (mpegts/blu-ray) also started to show at least one failure: (as of ffmpeg commit 649a6969f75f2378c65768deb9debd325eb2fc7f): root@slax:/dev/shm/tmp/cinelerra-goodguy-20200826/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/ffmpeg.git# cat ../src/_ffmpeg.git.patch2 | patch -p1 patching file libavformat/mpegtsenc.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 57 (offset 1 line).

Hi! With Marton's patches from git clone -b mpegts https://github.com/cus/ffmpeg/ and CinGG compiled with ffmpg.git I _nearly_ got some rendering.

"vbv-maxrate Maximum allowed bitrate. Depend of destination media, for normal BD Media, maximum settings is allowed (40000), while for DVD Media (eg BD-5 or BD-9) there is no maximum per Blu-Ray specification, but is strongly recommended that use less or equal to 15000, since DVD reading is slower."

Cool stuff
by Sam 05 Oct '20

Hi guys, i have found an interesting video which shows how you can convert footage with a lower FPS to a video with a much higher FPS without any losses. https://youtu.be/sFN9dzw0qH8 https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN The nice thing is that this software is free of charge. For my commercial projects I mainly use Da Vinci Resolve and there is the same possibility which I use again and again. This feature is great if you want to create slow motion effects and you only have footage that was created with a low FPS. I don't know if one day this software will be used for Cinelerra, but it would be a great feature to use. Maybe you can transfer footage from Cinelerra to this tool with a mouse click and transfer it back to Cinelerra after the rendering is finished? Even if an integration would not be possible, you can use this tool independently. Sam P.S.: By the way, the problems with the language plugin and web site are still bothering me, but a solution will surely be found soon.

Anyone with h264-enc capable Radeon?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Hi all! I was looking into https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3540 and found something interesting. Apparently, current driver hardcodes quality profile to SPEED, but those who interested in quality encoding might wat to play with other modes? https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/gallium/drivers/radeon/rade… static void radeon_enc_op_speed(struct radeon_encoder *enc) { RADEON_ENC_BEGIN(RENCODE_IB_OP_SET_SPEED_ENCODING_MODE); RADEON_ENC_END(); } defined in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/gallium/drivers/radeon/rade… #define RENCODE_IB_OP_SET_SPEED_ENCODING_MODE 0x01000006 #define RENCODE_IB_OP_SET_BALANCE_ENCODING_MODE 0x01000007 #define RENCODE_IB_OP_SET_QUALITY_ENCODING_MODE 0x01000008 I wonder what results will be if you change such setting? May be something like Nouveau's use of env. variables can be copied if there is no way to express this via va-api ? https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/gallium/drivers/nouveau/nou… if (getenv("XVMC_VL")) just in our case it will be like, RADEON_ENC_QUALITY? also, there are other interesting parameters related to quality. Might be worth experimenting with. static void radeon_enc_quality_params(struct radeon_encoder *enc) { enc->enc_pic.quality_params.vbaq_mode = 0; enc->enc_pic.quality_params.scene_change_sensitivity = 0; enc->enc_pic.quality_params.scene_change_min_idr_interval = 0; RADEON_ENC_BEGIN(enc->cmd.quality_params); RADEON_ENC_CS(enc->enc_pic.quality_params.vbaq_mode); RADEON_ENC_CS(enc->enc_pic.quality_params.scene_change_sensitivity); RADEON_ENC_CS(enc->enc_pic.quality_params.scene_change_min_idr_interval); RADEON_ENC_END(); }

New September builds are ready
by Phyllis Smith 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Below are the latest release notes. *Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 09/01/2020-09/30/2020 for builds* The Bug tracker has reached number *500 in tickets *consisting of bugs and requests. *Improvements to the Manual *are ongoing with Andrea creating an Advanced Editing chapter and MatN very detailed review. Meanwhile, Andrew has been *stress testing* the code. 1. *Motion plugin* major improvements contributed by Georgy (SGE BT #509) and with his updated documentation added to the Manual. 2. *MotionCV and MotionHV* will no longer get built (but code still there). With Georgy’s better Motion plugin, it is preferable to not confuse the situation with multiple choices that might have issues anyway. 3. Because currently existing downloadable 4K webm files when loaded into Cinelerra were no longer seekable, we backed down the *dav1d* library from 7.1 to 5.1. Unfortunately it took some time to discover this as it is not a widely used format in CinGG. 4. *Usability Improvements:* *Transitions* are now playing much faster as using Cache has been added as a default. You might see a slight hesitation at the beginning of a transition when memory is being loaded then quite often it will play at full speed (Houku BT #495). There is a Settings→Preference for this called “Cache Transitions” and it is enabled by default. This may be eliminated in the future if there are no problems with the caching because everyone will want this speed up. * Drag Transitions* is available to increase/decrease the length and works similar to dragging a plugin (Houku BT #495). Reverse playback now also uses Cache so that it is faster (Andrew note of slow reverse play). 14 revised or new FFmpeg formats for rendering have been generated & checked (Andrew). Russian translations in ru.po updated by Andrew. Spanish translations in es.po updated once again by RafaMar. The Aspect height has been increased in size from 10000 to 32767 (related to Shipman BT# 505). Menu and tooltip for Undo reads “z or Ctrl-z” now to make it clear as recommended in email. Improved SUV patchbay and expand pngs provided by IgorBeg. *Histogram plugin* modifications include: - capability to calculate a multiple frame average (a user request driven by need) - slider bar Linear to Log with 50% being the default; originally was Log - the “average” is now used for each bin / values - code cleanup for better readability 5. *Bugs/Issues fixed:* Fixed “Clear Keyframes” which in some cases did not delete the right keyframes (IgorB, Andrea, RafaMar BT #501) and create the correct intervals. Tweak keyframe popup speed undo. Added id-s for keyframes and labels (similar to what had been done for plugins awhile back). Fix background rendering to have a “in process” state before actually complete (Andrew BT #497). Edge gui fix in the Automation code. Dual Monitor mode fix (MatN BT# 502). Layout Viewer screen was raised when others weren’t, changed to be the same (MatN review notes). Fixed Settings→Preferences, Appearance tab problem with line through Flags/Warnings (IgorBeg). Fixed cache aging bug and some cache lock tweaks. Modified to push Preferences changes all the way to the render engine; they were not getting there before in some cases. General code cleanup; for example moved code of location where the background color was set. Fixed problem if run out of memory where Cin exits instead of crashes (Andrew-R email report). 32-bit shared memory fix (Andrew email with dump). Undo hide plugin fix (Andrew reported). Fixed a problem that occurred if performing a delete while the Render Engine is running. Booby fix if running Preferences at the same time as the FFmpeg button first/last is being pressed. Alpha is being set to 1 for background color always now – just a missing thing. Modified Render Farm to turn off “linger” and Render Farm usage will no longer send messages it does not know how to handle. Corrected SEGV discovery on load project when in Create Resources Only mode (Pierre BT #510) which was a result of using the wrong copy. Original Move tracks up/down along with its shortcut is now back. Roll tracks up/down has its own new shortcut along with its own distinct functionality.

Help: clarify some points of the manual
by Andrea paz 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

If you review the manual, you will find parts that are unclear or inaccurate. Please, can someone who knows the topics better explain the following points? Chapter 2.1.7 Labels "... you will have to use Alt+Ctrl instead ..." . I noticed when trying this in the Crop feature (chapter 2.2.7) that it only works with the left Alt key. I don't know if this is Mint-XFCE specific or not. The Alt key issue is also mentioned in 2.2.6 . Chapter 2.2.1 RMB in the compositor window includes Camera keyframe and Projector keyframe. What do these do? Describe them here seems logical. Chapter 2.2.7 Cropping. "... Reformat - Reformat Session crops and changes the Format for the entire session ..." Does the same thing happen if I change Settings->Format with tracks loaded? If so, which portion of the video is taken (e.g. 1920x1080p to 1080x720p). Is it cropped or scaled? Chapter 2.4.2 Timebar + Preview Region Usage in the Compositor and Viewer. "Settings", point 1. "...If no preview region is set ..." Then what is the rest of point 1 about? "... has no effect on the non-selected preview region ..."? If you notice any other unclear points, please let us know.

Please, could you (GG) assign the "Shift+Up" shortcut to the "Swap tracks up" item instead of the "Move tracks up" and the "Shift+Down" shortcut to the "Swap tracks down" item instead of the "Move tracks down"? Thank you! If it help, take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vruy2GRUsV8 IgorBeg
