Thanks for the Link ! ...and check out if your friend has 16:9 content that does 16:9 "the right way" or "the wrong way". If his 16:9 content does it "the right way", then you are trying The Wrong Thing. REAL 16:9 content does not have black bars in the video. REAL 16:9 DV must be stretched 33% more horizontally, or it will look like this: http://www.nuug.no/pub/herman/lm/mediaspillere/16x9-feil.png ...whereas with the correct stretching it will look like this: http://www.nuug.no/pub/herman/lm/mediaspillere/16x9-riktig.png What kind of medium shall the videos be on? DVD? DVDs have aspect ratio as part of the format. If the player detects a 16:9 aspect ratio, and knows that the screen is 4:3, it will add letterboxing. The final Video will be on a DVD. Rendering letterboxing into the video is only appropriate if the main video is 4:3, with some 16:9 material put into it. This is because DVD players can't switch aspect ratio during playback. (they can't switch between PAL and NTSC during playback, either) I think i´ll tell him to keep the original as it is as there are so many close up pictures in the video that if i would Letterbox the video these close up´s don´t look good anymore. So far he didn´t care about 16:9 while shooting the video A simpler way would be setting the track's size to 720x432, or whatever height you wanted. Right-click on the track, and choose "resize track". I have tested this but it cut´s off too much and i don´t have any more space left for the black borders on top and bottom. So if you leave the project resolution at 720x576 in the Format dialog, but set it to 720x432 for the track, you don't get a 16:9 image with black borders above and below? That was what I was expecting. Well, this works within cinelerra but as soon as i start rendering cinelerra makes the whole box reboot... and i can´t find out why.

You could use an overlay of two black PNGs, or one black PNG with a transparent stripe in the middle.

Depending on the format, you may have to tell the player that the correct aspect ratio is 16:9.

It is a workaround to display wide content on 4:3 screens. Modern 4:3 TVs and media players can do the letterboxing themselves, when they detect that the content is 16:9.

Miha Kitič wrote: I am not sure I will give you a useful answer, but let me try :) Yep, thanks. Well getting the lines for camera x y and z wasn´t or isn´t the problem, also changing the values on the timeline isn´t the problem, but i don´t get the "Camera Tool Window" where you can set values more detailed than on the timeline. Should this window open automatically when camera x y or z is shown? In the Wiki (this part: "Compositing Camera Controls") is the Camera Tool mentioned but there is nothing about how to open/get this window. I played around in the compositor with camera/prjector settings as described but no "Camera Tool Window" :-( Thanks so far, BF. 1. If you select "Window" (top menu line in Cinelerra's main window) and then choose "Show overlays", a new window will appear. In this window you will find many checkboxes. If you click them you can enable/disable various controls in the time line. For instance, if you enable "Fade", a white line will appear in the timeline. By clicking on that line you can create keyframes (providing of course, that the track is armed and the curent position of the line is within the track's vertical range -> if you can't see it try Alt-f) If you move keyframes up or down, you can then control visibility of video tracks and volume of audio tracks. However if you go 3 check-boxes up from the fade (in "Overlays" window) you will also see 3 controls called: Camera x Camera y Camera z Those controls determine (please someone correct me if I am wrong) which part of the picture (of the original clip) Cinalerra will process / show in the video you are making. Now lets suppose that your original clip is an image with a title you wish to show. If you select "Camera z" checkbox, a blue line will appear on video timeline('s). If you then place that image on the separate timeline (above the time line of the movie), create a keyframe on blue line and move that keyframe up and down, then you will see, that your title is zooming in and out - depending on the position of the line. What you need to do is to create 2 keyframes on a blue line (e.g. one with value 0.2 and another 2) and you should get the desired result. 2. But there is another way. If you wish to use Cinelerra's Title effect rather than an image, then you can do so. But I am not sure if the text created by title effect can be zoomed in the same way as an image - with Camera z control (I never tried). However you can create many keyframes (e.g. in each frame) in the title effect and in each frame you can increase the font size of the text). It's some work, but you should be able to get the desired result in this way too. There may be another ways as well... All the best and I hope you can make it! Miha There's no need for camera keyframes, he should keyframe the title plugin itself. Hmm, i have been looking in the Wiki (which seems to be much more informative than the original "Secrets of Cinelerra" also most of it is found in the wiki. But whatever i do i don´t get the "Camera Tool" Window, i followed this text "Compositing Camera Controls". Is there a keyboard combo that isn´t described in the Wiki? What do you mean with keyframe the title plugin itself? I don´t see how this would bring the title from very small (middle) to very very big (middle).

Re: [CinCVS] Downsample mode in Filter REFRAME RT - Bug?
Nicolas wrote: BTW, here's what's written in the "Secrets of Cinelerra" manual , whose URL I gave you on this ML some days ago. Thanks, i found something similar in the "Cinelerra TWiki, it´s a bit confusing the first time, but it makes sense. Cheers, BF. REFRAMERT ReframeRT changes number of frames in a sequence of video directly from the timeline. It has 2 modes, selected by the 2 toggles in the GUI. Stretch mode multiplies the current frame number of its output by the scale factor to arrive at the frame to read from its input. If its current output frame is #55 and the scale factor is 2, frame #110 is read from its input. The stretch mode has the effect of changing the length of output video by the inverse of the scale factor. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the output will end before the end of the sequence on the timeline. If it's less than 1, the output will end after the end of the sequence on the timeline. The ReframeRT effect must be lengthened to the necessary length to accomodate the scale factor. Change the length of the effect by clicking on the endpoint of the effect and dragging. Although stretch mode changes the number of the frame read from its input, it doesn't change the frame rate of the input. Effects before ReframeRT assume the same frame rate as ReframeRT. Downsample mode doesn't change the length of the output sequence. It multiplies the frame rate of the output by the scale factor to arrive at a frame rate rate to read the input. This has the effect of replicating the input frames so that they only change at the scaled frame rate when sent to the output. It doesn't change the length of the sequence. If the scale factor is 0.5 and the output frame rate is 30 fps, only 15 frames will be shown per second and the input will be read at 15 fps. Downsample is only useful for scalefactors below 1, hence the name downsample. Downsample mode changes the frame rate of the input as well as the number of the frame to read, so effects before ReframeRT see the frame rate * the scale factor as their frame rate. If the scale factor is 2 and the output frame rate is 30, the input frame rate will be 60 and the input frame number will by doubled. This won't normally do anything but some input effects may behave differently at the higher frame rate.

I would like to know if it is possible to move around a media in a track just like in Final Cut? There're several ways to move a media on a track. First, you select a part of the track using the [ and ] buttons to define the start and end point. Then you can paste silence using "Shift+Space". That moves to the right the medias which are on the right side of the in and out points. You can also cut the part you selected, just by pressing the "x" key. Selecting an area and using in ([) and out (]) points and pressing Shift+Space does a "past silence" that´s right, but when i then try to insert a media it is still positioned at the beginning of the track and not right (next to) the outpoint. Well, perhaps you already know that. Please give us more information about what you're trying to do, and we'll be able to help you. It works somehow if i goto the last position of the first track and arm the second video track and insert from the sources menu, but then i can´t move around the video for example in "Drag and drop mode" (arrow mode) the media stays at it´s position where it has been inserted before.

[CinCVS] Keep tracks in the timeline in current position
Hello, I have been playing around a lot with audio and video tasks in cinelerra, but so far i haven´t found out HOWTO make audio part or a video part keep it´s position in the timeline when i delete a part from the video before the video or audio part that should stay.

Now we are a big closer... (just a question: are you sure mpeg2enc.plugin is located in your /usr/local/lib/cinelerra directory?) Hmm, mpeg2enc.plugin is in /usr/lib/cinelerra like all the other *.plugin files. But when starting cinelerra i get a message PluginServer::open_plugin: /usr/lib/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin: Can´t load the programm dynamically Thanks, BF. jonas Am Samstag, den 18.02.2006, 20:46 +0100 schrieb Bernhard Frühmesser: Hello, I wanted to render a video (only the video) using the "MPEG Video" format to fit for DVD (MPEG2).

[CinCVS] Effect Reframe RT
Hello, I would like to play a video slower and at some part faster than normal, so that the final video looks like the same as when you watch a video in the viewer and press fast forware or "slow motion". I have been playing around with the "Reframe RT" Effect, but this one doesn´t seem to be the right Effect for doing this (also with audio). I have used "Stretch" and "Downsample" in the Reframe RT Effect Settings, but somehow this isn´t it... Does anyone know if there is an effect to make a "Fast Forward" and "Slow Motion" (audio included) Effect in the video?

[CinCVS] Cut and Paste for Videos
Hello, Mostly i have been using cinelerra with Title effects and audio, not so much with Videoclips - so this is kind off new to me. I have read in "Secrets of Cinelerra" about Cut and Past Editing and the other methods, but i still have some questions about that. Is there some kind of a tutorial video about the different editing effects?

Hmm, is there anything else needed in version 2.0 that fading will "happen"? I have done several marks for fading-in and fading-out in the audio track (just as i did with version 1.2.2) but fading doesn´t seem to "work" - weird. Then when i load a video with audio the video is shown but no audio is shown but the "draw media" button(s) for audio are set to "on" as well as for the video. This also doesn´t change if i set the button draw media off and on again. is audio loaded at all or not? Yeah, when i load the video audio is loaded too. For example when i just load an audio file (mp3 wav) the "media" is shown. But not so when i load a video (i have tested this with several videos).
