Questions for those using CinGG and Natron.
by Andrea paz 17 Jul '23

What is your workflow with the two programs? All editing in CinGG and then switching to Natron for rotoscoping and VFX? What format do you use for the transition, OpenEXR? Color with what program do you do it? Do you constantly switch between programs?

OT: fun with other editors!

So, because I learned about sbopkg tool, installing packages from Slackbuilds.org semi-automatically I had field day compiling stuff: /tmp/Catch-2.13.10-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/audacity-3.2.5-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/avidemux-2.8.1-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/cppy-1.2.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/cppzmq-4.10.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/flowblade-24564a-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/gst-editing-services-1.18.5-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/gst-python-1.18.5-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/kiwi-1.9.29-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/libopenshot-0.3.2-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/libopenshot-audio-0.3.2-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/libsbsms-20220812_e6c9c3b-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/mlt-bindings-7.4.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/openmpi-4.1.4-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/openshot-3.1.1-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/pitivi-2023.03-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/portaudio-19.7.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/portmidi-2.0.2-i586-3_SBo.tgz /tmp/portsmf-234-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/protobuf3-3.20.1-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/python3-cycler-0.11.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/python3-kiwisolver-1.4.1-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/python3-matplotlib-3.4.3-i586-2_SBo.tgz /tmp/python3-pyzmq-25.1.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/shotcut-21.12.24-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/soxr-0.1.3-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/unittest-cpp-2.0.0-i586-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/zeromq-4.3.4-i586-1_SBo.tgz You see, bunch of editors and their dependencies. Avidemux 2.8.1: compiles with va-api, then promptly crashes :) LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=none avidemux3_qt5 this way it works, at least video playback part. I also learned Cmake 3.21 at least can't find X11 libs in their /usr/X11R7/lib hidden place, even with pkg-config. So, few symlinks did the job. Flowblade (some git version) : Wanted MLT 7.0.4 obviously and then worked on video playback Just ..main window much longer than 1440 px I have! shotcut - 21.12.24: A bit old, but shows up for work. Need sip/pyQt5. openshot-3.1.1: Promised better stability and performance. Plays clip at least .. www.openshot.org/ru/blog/2023/04/20/new_openshot_release_311/ pitivi : Pity it does not work on 32-bit :) bash-5.1$ pitivi Отсутствующая необязательная зависимость: — GSound не найден в системе -> включает звуковые уведомления по завершении сборки Отсутствующая необязательная зависимость: — элемент GStreamer cvtracker не найден в системе -> позволяет отслеживать объекты Отсутствующая необязательная зависимость: — librosa не найден в системе -> включает возможность обнаружения тактов OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/pitivi/python/pitivi/utils/pipeline.py", line 633, in _bus_message_cb if message.type == Gst.MessageType.ASYNC_DONE and\ SystemError: <built-in method get_value of gi.FieldInfo object at 0xf45a1e60> returned a result with an error set OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: === https://sebhastian.com/python-int-too-large-to-convert-to-c-long/ apparently 32-bit problem. New Audacity 3.2.5 crashed once, not sure why (their playhead manipulation a bit different by default) KiCAD 7.0.6 (modded Slackbuild) failed to load wxPython - no python scripting ... { Not really video editor, but can make 3d models of PCB (printed circuits board). 3d models for it weight like 5 Gb unpacked :) } Freecad 0.20 apparently can make short animations - installed but not tried. https://wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_0.20 This is why I am not big fan of Python - it breaks in non-obvious ways ... So, I think CinGG still best idea around* when it comes to video :) *on my machine :) Thanks everyone! I'll try to watch new video 'soon', as fast as I report (re-report) this wxPython / kiCAD bug ..

timidity as midi soft synth
by Andrew Randrianasulu 16 Jul '23

16 Jul '23

So, I installed timidity + sound fonts and was experimenting with it. Initially I only get sound via esd or oss output, then turned out I can add '-s 48000' switch to both command line and Alsa sequencer mode - and now it plays in TDE midi application, aplaymidi, or even xmms! http://www.develia.org/files/amidi-plug-0.7.tar.bz2 Nice to have old sites/software still around .... I wonder if many modern (but alsa-based) systems suffer from it? I think I saw this bug (as no sound/heavily distorted first seconds of sound) on both desktop and laptop.

Weekend fun
by Andrew Randrianasulu 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/gJ3D/JJmkHFCC6 should contain same vid as https://youtu.be/ouE6UABWXRE but less mangled (60 mb for 3 minutes) Captured with cingg on my poor integrated "GPU". (first to magicyuv to tmpfs - 4.6 Gb! then encoded to yuv444 h264. Not even sure if I set full/limited range correctly .. watch via mplayer -vo gl) Main thing I did here is manual setting of cpu cores for cingg/capture (0 and 1) and ssh (#3). You can (hopefully) see how my desktop machine render OpenGL 1.4 via wireless link from laptop under keyboard. Both systems running slightly de-synchronized Slackware i586 with 64-bit kernels. Second X server because I was too lazy for restarting my main one :)

In the youtube channel there is a request if it is possible to dynamically alter subtitles. I think not, but can anyone answer precisely? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPhO2sscZzU&list=PLOnHGAy9DoU0dBhf7ibgsmpdd…

dvdcreate and filempeg patches
by Andrew Randrianasulu 12 Jun '23

12 Jun '23

I tried to add few more flags to filempeg encoder settings, not touching -I (as in Interlace, not small "l" as in level) for now I also tried to get interlace info from both session interlace mode and deinterlace checkbox ...
