Re: [CinCVS] Cinelerra v2.1 has been Released
Salut Jud, As many of you are aware a new Cinelerra released is now available. You mean the sources. Let us know whent some one makes the packages (Mandriva, Ubuntu). And thank you guys for the work you make! Sylvain. ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
Re: [CinCVS] titler fade out flicker
Alec Robertson wrote: Hi Joe, After adding a second video track and replacing the flickering titles with new ones, the problem still persists. I've noticed something similar in the past... in my case it was due to extra keyframes along the plugin. Have you enabled View - Plugin Keyframes to check? Hi Alec, thanks for the suggestion. I've been burned by that before, especially with camera motion. Unfortunately, that is not what's happening this time. I turned on the Plugin Keyframes and nothing changed in the view. My project is a simple slideshow with photographs and music. There are crossfade video effects and titles. Only a few titles flicker, and it's quite confusing!

Re: [CinCVS] titler fade out flicker
Me too, i had a title fading, and at the same time a black background on which a video was appearing (alpha increasing from 0 to 1). My first impression was that the title was flickering, but I think it was only a perceptual impression, looking at the single frames the title intensity is changing correctly, as well as the video. Try to analize the frames of the transition with gimp or another graphic program. You can get the frames as jpeg files by playing the video with: mplayer -vo jpeg yourvideo.avi (not completely sure of the syntax, in case man mplayer) Ciao, Leo --- Alec Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Joe, After adding a second video track and replacing the flickering titles with new ones, the problem still persists.

This is still different. In the sample file (http://www.f-forge.com/?d=EdD1UKgj9LQsCupcxJwR), the flicker is quite obvious - it's not coming from a contrast with the background. Rather, the title slowly and smoothly fades out until the final frame of fading out, at which point that single last frame shows the title at full visibility. I can observe this flicker in cinelerra's compositor during playback and during frame-by-frame advancement.

I haven't been following this thread closely, but it does sound like something I experienced and resolved. The problem was that I was using fading keyframes and setting them by hand instead of using the slider. That is to say, I'd press the mouse when the cursor was over the part of the timeline I wanted to fade then drag it downward until my compositor window faded out. Because of Cinelerra 2's quirky feature, for some of the last frames it would actually go past fading out and back into visible again. The resolution for this was to use the slider instead of dragging on the timeline. -Brendan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

http://bugs.cinelerra.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-07-03 22:34 --- What it looks like is the 2vuy files generated by the proprietary Quicktime stuff have multiple frames per chunk, but the libquicktime used by Cinelerra only decodes the first frame from each chunk. It appears to be a bug in quicktime/trak.c in function quicktime_sample_range_size, where it is incorrectly returning zero instead of calculating the distance to the requested frame inside the chunk. I'm attaching a patch for trak.c to the bug entry - see if this solves the problem for you. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

The resolution for this was to use the slider instead of dragging on the timeline. I was under the impression that the video fader was broken in Cinelerra 2, glad to hear it's working! In trying just now, I've noticed that what I'll call the 'asset fader range' (or the limits for the minimum and maximum of the fade line) are a bit inconvenient. Audio generally fades in decibels below zero and video fades in integers between 0 and 100. Setting the limits to -40, 10 helps for fading audio, but doesn't help with video (which benefits from a 0-100 scale). What do Cinelerra users use for their limits to keep sensitivity? Sorry for the OT wander. . . Unfortunately, my problem isn't a video track fader flicker, but the Title effect in Video Effects.
