Please visit http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyX and check wiki for LyX project and then check documentation which is SHIPPED with the project - it's listed here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXHelpDocuments So, I consider they did it right in the sense that contents of the Wiki supplements documentation shipped with the program (different set of manuals differing in 'weight' - from introduction to customization manuals). So, according to my understanding wiki and manual should be two different beasts serving the different purposes and that's why I agree with Nicolas - we should merge very useful CONTENT of present wiki with the information in Secrets' manual and make 1st class manual which is shipped with the program as PDF file for offline consummation, as well as structured HTML which could be triggered from within Cinelerra's Help. In that way, most of the new users would have little need to consult online wiki while stepping through the learning curve with the program. And in order to free those valuable devs from the burden of tinkering too much with the documentation, we should form 'documentation-team' dealing with this issue which can submit their work to the masters - devs - for their annotation before public release. Me & Nicolas will meet tomorrow and can discuss about the source format used for the manual, converting process etc., but do we agree on the following points: a) we want 1st class manual in PDF - nicely structured & with screenshots/images b) we want manual as structured HTML with navigational links which can be launched within the Cinelerra's Help button and can be also put online c) we want to have wiki which supplements manual and parts of the wiki can be periodically merged into manual first, ie. to separate wiki from the manual? Having video-tutorials available (which will be donated to the project) is wonderful add-on to the whole documentation project.

Idea behind would be to generate the static version occationally and check that into the source tree. The scripts doing this should be part of the distribution too.

While it may get newbies going faster, it makes at least my workflow completely awkward, because I never use drag&drop mode. I would always have to have the Shift key down. And even then I cannot place the cursor precisely on the start or beginning of a media or effect border because it just extends the existing selection (clicking in the time bar is not precise enough).

[CinCVS] Re:Did you edit the wiki?
I am not sure what you mean by "structured" ... The wiki is meant to be individual pages one per discrete topic. , then you use the agregation tools to create on the fly a document as structured as you wish. Like I said before, you can create a single page full of INCLUDE(wikiTopic) one after the other, and pretty much make the wiki look just like Secrets.. also..

[CinCVS] Did you edit the wiki?
Guys, I think you should try to edit the wiki, and update it with the latest contents of the Secrets of Cinelerra. That is a very interesting task, which would probably help you to understand why the merge should be: wiki -> secrets and not: secrets -> wiki That's because the wiki is less nicely structured than secrets of cinelerra. If we want to be able to produce a nice manual in html, pdf or whatever, we really need to start from the well structured secrets of cinelerra manual. Please try by yourself, you'll quickly understand... Another possibility would be to re-structure the wiki. My goal is to get a nice manual with as much information as possible. Since for the moment, I don't know want direction will the merge be (from wiki or from secrets), I continue to edit the wiki. I also do it because Alex's work desserves respect.

[CinCVS] [Bug 345] New: [FEATURE REQUEST] Easing the copy/paste keyframes process
http://bugs.cinelerra.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345 Summary: [FEATURE REQUEST] Easing the copy/paste keyframes process Product: Cinelerra Version: 2.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Medium Component: User Interface AssignedTo: cinelerra@skolelinux.no ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I set a lot of camera and projector keyframes in my projects. I copy/paste those keyframes using Shift-C and Shift-V. However the way cinelerra handles the process annoys me and decreases my productivity. The copy/paste keyframe works only if there's no [ or ] defined on the timeline. That's a "normal" behaviour, since in and out points override selection. But in fact, that behaviour is annoying when one does a lot of copy/paste keyframes and cut/copy operations at the same time. I often try to copy/paste keyframes, but that does not work because of a [ or ] point being set on the timeline. In such a case I have to remove those in or out point and copy again the frame since it was not copied in the first place. I already described the problem in a message sent to the ML: https://init.linpro.no/pipermail/skolelinux.no/cinelerra/2006-August/007375.html Being able to copy/paste the keyframe located under the flashing "insertion point" *even if there are [ or ] points defined* would be really nice. That would increase productivity. Moreover copy/paste not working *as one could expect* when [ or ] points are defined is really disturbing when copying/pasting keyframes for the first time... I personnally though copy/paste keyframe did not work when I used it for the first time. To illustrate that behaviour, here is a test case: - download the following files: http://www.europephoto.com/info/cinelerra/200610/copy_paste_keyframe.xml http://www.europephoto.com/info/cinelerra/200610/test.png - Put those files in the same directory and open the project. - You can notice there are no [ or ] points on the timeline. - Select the first label, and press Shift-C - Select the second label, and press Shift-V - You can notice the first label's keyframe is copied onto the second label - Re-open the project, and set the [ point at the beginning of the timeline - Select the first label, and press Shift-C - Select the second label, and press Shift-V - You can notice the first label's keyframe is *NOT* copied onto the second label Nicolas. --- 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

Re: [CinCVS] Cinelerra documentation
Since Alex mentioned video tutorials I thought I would chime in and mention again that I am working on a set of tutorials as well as part of my video podcast called "the_source". I am planning on donating them to the project. The first one is already done and is part of Episode 6. We are planning 3 or 4 more.

Idea behind would be to generate the static version occationally and check that into the source tree. The scripts doing this should be part of the distribution too.

I agree and using a wiki is the simpliest way to attract people. If we agree on a workflow like I sketched above, it would be nice to feed 'Secrets of Cinelerra' into the wiki.

I too haven't had much chance to test the change, but this sure doesn't seem like a good thing to me. When I sync things to a audio track, I want to set the insertion point by clicking on or very near the sound waveform. If I have to click on the time bar at the top in order to get a click instead of a drag, that's going to sharply increase the amount of cursing I do while using Cinelerra. And isn't the time bar already pretty much occupied by labels? If it's going to be hard to avoid clicking on a nearby label instead of the point I want, that will also suck. If you just removed drag'n'drop mode entirely, that would be better than this. I almost never use drag'n'drop mode and wouldn't miss it. However, I wouldn't advocate doing that, because I'm aware that some people do like to use drag'n'drop mode. What if instead, the drag'n'drop/normal setting were made less accessible, so that it would be less likely for people to change it without knowing what they're doing? -- Matthew Skala [EMAIL PROTECTED]Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
Re: [CinCVS] merge editing modes
Ok.. I really don't like this modification. I hate having to hold the shift down. I work with selection more than anything else... Andraz, Isn't your patch making the default mode "drag and drop" and modify the functionality of dragging on the time-bar, or pressing the shift key to turn selectionabilty mode on. (i.e. creating extra effort for every attempt to use selection style editing) Why not bring the modes back, but make the default "drag and drop" if you like, and add keep the modifiers there. That way when you teach newbies, you can place it in the "drag and drop" mode and leave it there for them. You could even lock it to not be switchable in the preferences.. Failing that, I'll have to use a personal branch of cinelerra at all times for my own use..

Hello, I was too a bit surprised by the change. At first, when moving the cursor on the timeline, I wasn't able to do NOT select a part of the video. All I wanted was to see the flashing insertion point, without any selection. Fortunately, minmax helped me on the IRC, and he advised me to move the insertion point by clicking on the upper part of the main screen, where the time is displayed.
