Translating part of the website pages into Italian, I realized the enormous work done by Sam. I'm not exaggerating: it's really a great job done well! Thank you very much, Sam.

Text presenting Cinelerra-GG, for wikipedia
by Pierre autourduglobe 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

For discussion.... Here is the draft text that I propose to integrate into the current page about Cinelerra on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinelerra) Pierre Cinelerra-GG Infinity: A separate branch of Cinelerra and the result of a longstanding programming work by W.P. Morrow (aka "goodguy"), Cinelerra-GG (CinGG) integrated the code of "Cinelerra-HV" from the beginning and its development went through "Cinelerra.Org" then "Cinelerra-CV" before continuing its growth in a completely distinct and autonomous way, now supported by its own site (https://www.cinelerra-gg.org) Cinelerra-GG is entirely free (GNU General Public License). It is the result of a long process of merging the code of the different branches and versions of Cinelerra and the additions available from many developers. It specially incorporates many original improvements (which have been and are still very often initiated at the request of its users). Cinelerra-GG is determined to get as close as possible to what can be expected from a "professional" level video editing software (NLE) for the Linux platform. Cinelerra-GG is very attentive to the requests and suggestions of its users, in the same way all proposals for code improvement submitted by developers are enthusiastically received. The "mailing list" (https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin) the "bug tracker" (https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/my_view_page.php) and the "forum" (https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/forum/) allow for discussions and exchanges of information. The list of additional new features that Cinelerra-GG adds to those already present in other branches is now too long to list in this short presentation. Instead, see the following document, which compares in a table the characteristics and features of the different Cinelerra branches: (https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/differences.pdf) Cinelerra-GG does not fall within the scope of version numbering of other Cinelerra branches. It is rather in perpetual development (Scrum model) and in a very dynamic way; Cinelerra-GG updates, which are intended to be "stable" quality, are published monthly for a large number of Linux and FreeBSD distributions. These rolling releases contain fixes to reported bugs as well as frequent feature improvements. To obtain Cinelerra-GG: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/downloads

FYI: Changes checked into code repository today
by Phyllis Smith 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

The noticable changes to the Cinelerra-gg code today include: 1) File pulldown has the Dumps grouped together in the submenu which now include "Undo" - prints out on terminal window when started from a window. It will show the last 32 un-do's only generically in a program-atically way. 2) Double edge drag/drop (new way, not old one) now allows for overwrite and insert and colors are as follows: green means OK to drop yellow means OK to drop and will right next to the other edit AND if you hold down Shift at the same time, it makes a space too blue means OK to insert here between edits (this was not available to do before) red means while holding down Shift key and dragging, it will now let you overwrite on the edge (different than before) orange means you can not drop anywhere on this track; for example, you can not drop a video clip on an audio track We did not make any new builds, but will do so if requested since we always like more testers. gg/Phyllis

Curiosity: why Android Studio? Isn't it just Java and just for android?

Ungrouping of video and audio clips after some edits
by Xing Tu 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

It'd probably be easier to just show what's going on. Here's a short video https://youtu.be/QOSCdSH4Szc. Would this be considered a bug? Maybe there's some way around it... but it shouldn't be the default behavior.

ReframeRT, Interpolate Video
by Andrea paz 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

I don't understand how these two plugins work. The explanations on manual-cv are not clear (for me, of course). Can someone who knows how to use them explain how they work? (it's used to make the new unified manual). GG/Phyllis you can't answer, it's just to make sure you don't waste your time :-)

End of December builds are available
by Phyllis Smith 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

There are new builds available at the cinelerra-gg.org website. GG really pushed the limits of coding this month in order to get closer to fully meeting expected features of an NLE. But thanks to additional support from testers and users and people reporting via email and MantisBT, this new release will hopefully be in good shape. He will be slowing down some in the "Happy New Year"! gg/Phyllis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 12/01/2018-12/31/2018 for builds 1. Inter-View mode / Identifying Source Targets shows in the Resources window preview are where the media is used or unused plus allows for seeing that portion in the viewer and positioning along the timeline. Usage is easy but not immediately obvious, so refer to section 46 in Features. 2. Cut and Paste behavior for moving, deleting, inserting, and grouping edits with various options has been added. And the selection process makes it possible to add transitions to multiple edits. In the same area Dragging changes and improvements have been made. See Section 47 in Features for details (or just middle mouse button on a track to see the options). Labels, autos, and keyframes will also be moved along in this new drag method but that feature has not yet been incorporated in the old drag method. 3. Color titles per media/proxy files is now an option with Autoselect colors (Settings→Preferences, Appearance tab) or Self-color. Refer to section 48 in Features Pdf file to details. *Super Testers* this month for the above 3 new features deserve special thanks for testing, feedback, and patience to include *Andrea, IgorBeg, Pierre, and Sam*. It made development a lot easier. 4. Because this is pervasive, a bugfix to Draw/ReDraw on the timeline is emphasized here to make you aware that in spite of testing, there could still be an issue. 5. Usability Improvements: View Thumbnail size, Vicon memory size, and Vicon color mode are now settable in Preferences to allow for bigger or less pixelated thumbnails when previewing. Preview window zoom scale for vicons in the Resources window using the middle mouse wheel. Video plugin expanders in Resources now has more categories and is improved thanks to Andrea. Cut and Paste editing mode (I-beam) now allows for grouping and column dragging. Shortcuts for “Align cursor on edits” and “Save settings now” have been added. New drag arrow so can see behind, for all themes except Bright, Blue Dot, and Neophyte. 6. Bugs/Issues fixed: Last month the following was mistakenly left out of the release notes – for deleting icons in the Resources window, the shift-delete control was replaced with Ctrl-shift-delete Upgraded bccmdl.py to python3 – credit to Frank Dana of rpmfusion. Reworked vicon view popup in order to add more capability. The Proxy preview has had 2 bugs fixed that led to bad behavior in the Resources window. A bug with listbox usage in the Titler plugin for font choice that made it more difficult to choose has been fixed. The fix affects all listbox but there should not be any repercussions. Drag and Drop mode had the white box highlighting incorrectly positioning; now fixed. Highlighting in the Resources window problem is now working correctly. Fix for vframe get_frame sporadic crashes when creating clips, or using Sketcher/CriKey. Placement for Vicons preview has been slightly modified to work better. Proxy with multiple viewers switch under certain conditions had a SEGV; now is fixed. Fixed crash occurring when removing from project while a preview of a thumbnail was playing. A problem with Proxy that had audio, which does not have a index, has been corrected. The drop position in Drag and Drop mode was incorrect in some cases. This has been fixed. Package creation, etc, for rpmFusion (credit Frank Dana) has recommended some improvements that make packaging more current mainstream. This includes adding noexecstack option on load, ensuring the executable bit is only set when necessary, and updating the desktop cin icon. Updated COPYING file containing GPLv2+ GNU General Public License. Double delete in Titler was found and fixed. Default proxy ffmpeg/mp4 selection had an incorrect setup so switched it to faster mpeg. Minor fixes in the Preferences sections for French language translations that were corrupted. Fix for filebox apply button on resize has been applied. Phantom keyframes showing on the timeline are now gone. Some leftover references were corrected to point to cinelerra-gg.org.
