hi,
you can use the SlackBuild to compile cinelerra by yourself in a slackware.
try this:

# wget 
http://slack.sarava.org/packages/slackware/noarch/simplepkg-0.6pre10-noarch-1rha.tgz

# installpkg simplepkg-0.6pre10-noarch-1rha.tgz
# createpkg --sync
# createpkg -i cinelerra

then cinelerra sould be compiled and installed.
feedback is apreciated ;)

We also had problems with Slackware 12 and stayed with Slackware 11 and an
older version of cinelerra 2.0 that has proven to be very good for my work.
This version was taken from Rafael's site.

If you find a solution to this please let us know.

The source video is 720x576 4:3.

I would keep the video as it is, but a friend want´s it Letterboxed

And here is a picture of how a friend would want it:

http://vi06n235.members.eunet.at//images/snowdd3.jpg

So Letterboxed and final aspect ration 16:9.



 Please read Adam Wilt's DV FAQ about 16:9 ...
http://www.adamwilt.com/DV-FAQ-etc.html#widescreen


I did, really interesting and informative!

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.

This happens as "mortal user" and as well as root.

I'm editing a video where some parts where taken from a moving

Those horrible streaks, which looks like interlacing, are in fact
rendered from cinelerra, with a deinterlace effect!

Those streaks do not appear continuously on the video. They appear when
the camcorder is shaken, and they do not appear on all of the frames.

This frame is the immediate following one to "frame_a.jpg":
http://www.europephoto.com/info/cinelerra/frame_b.jpg

That's really bad, since I have to use some camera keyframes to zoom in
the video in order to center the subject (the motorbikes in front of
the camcorder).

The camcorder is a Panasonic NV-GS400 (DV).

Do you know of any way to reduce those streaks? Fortunately, they only
appear on around 15% of the footage.


I sometimes use yuvdeinterlace from the mjpegtools instead of cinelerras 
deinterlace effect as for some reason i get (somtimes) better image 
quality with yuvdeinterlace but then sometimes it´s not better at all. 
It may be worth a try - no?!

 Is it 16:9, and your screen is 4:3?  Are you sure rendering letter-
boxed video is the only way to get letterboxed display on the TV?
Otherwise the normal way is to keep the 16:9 image pixel for pixel,
and let the player or the screen do the scaling/letterboxing.



Is there some trick to get the masks rendered too?



 I am not sure if I understand the question.  However, I would consider
using Cinelerra's mask feature to be overkill here.  You could use an
overlay of two black PNGs, or one black PNG with a transparent stripe
in the middle.


Well, i have added a Mask (borders) to top and bottom with which the 
video nearly looks like the second photo. But the Rendered file doesn´t 
have the borders and i don´t know why.


I will try the "PNG-way" - thanks for the tip!

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

mplayer -aspect 16:9 movie.avi

MPEG files can contain aspect information, which the player should
obey automatically.  I think raw DV streams contain aspect info, too.

I do not know whether Cinelerra adds the appropriate aspect ratio
header to output formats that support that kind of information.
This would indeed be worthwhile to test!



So it it possible at all to get 16:9 out of a 4:3 source matterial?

 Generally, letterboxing is not desireable.  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.  Wasting a lot of bits to encode black pixels should be
avoided, if possible.

tested it with 2 different DVD players - philips and jvc).

Isn't the problem due to the fact that the title is moving too fast on

I am afraid i can´t as the Title itself (if it is rendered) is about 
60MB big. And if i use mencoder to encode to DivX and to resize it to 
about 4MB the "jumping effect" isn´t visible that good than in full size.


Today i tested it on an external DVD player and a normal TV screen and 
there it really looks crapy.

But the final (When the Video is rendered) result doesn´t really look

moving titles look like "jumping"

As regards to the mpeg2enc parameters, you can specify any option you
want if you use a shell script. Have a look at the wiki here:
http://ftconsult.taxnetusa.com/twiki/bin/view/Cinelerra/Rendering#Rendering
(it's at the end of the page)


That´s it (mostly). But it isn´t possible to include other commands into 
the shellscript before mpeg2enc is used like y4mshift of yuvmedianfilter 
from the mjpegtools? Also it seems that yuvdeinterlace is more precise 
than the deinterlace filter from cinelerra.

What do you mean by 'use one or two cpus'?  I can disable a core in the
bios on an AMD X2 and have rendering take about twice as long.


Well, it doesn´t have any effect if i set "use only one cpu" to on than 
if this is set to "off" in both case the "rendering time" is nearly the 
same.


The only thing that helps here speed up things is the Renderfarm (using 
3 boxes).



If cinelerra is really only using one of your CPUs, you can run a
renderfarm node on the same machine.  But that should not be necessary.


Hmm, it might be worth a try.

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

Thanks, i found something similar in the "Cinelerra TWiki, it´s a bit

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.

Hello,


Hello,


I don't quite understand your problem... What do you want to do? Are you
trying to move the video on track 2? Is moving the video on track 2 the
problem?


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. I can move it to the beginning of the track but not right.
And if i go to the end of the media and the mousepointer becomes an 
arrow pointing right i can extend the media but not repositioning it.


Thanks so far,

Bernhard F.

[CinCVS] Free media positioning in track?

2006-07-21 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

Hello,

I am looking for info how if it is possible to do a "free media 
positioning" in the main cinelerra window.


I have two video tracks, video track 1 starts at the beginning, and i 
would like to use track 2 to positioning the videos "free" now they 
start at the beginning of the track just as videotrack 1. Of course i 
can copy the video i would like to insert in track 2 and paste it at the 
right position, but later when the video is in position i would like to 
move it around.


So far i haven´t found any info about that, is it possible or not and 
when yes how can i do this? Can anyone tell me where i find info about that?


Thanks for infos

BF.

Just downloaded and compiled version 2.1 but strangely copy/paste
editing no longer works, does anyone know how i can check to see what´s 
going wrong or to start cinelerra in "debug mode" if there is something 
like that for it?

[CinCVS] ReframeRT also for Audio?

2006-07-17 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

Hello,

I have added the ReframeRT effect to a video (track) to play the video a 
bit faster than normal, but the audio still plays at normal time, and i 
can`t find out the right effect to do the same for the audio tracks, so 
that audio and video both play syncronized (nudge isn´t the right thing 
i am looking for). Does anybody know how i can do this or how the effect 
for the audio track(s) is called.


Then i am not sure if the following is a bug or not, i have three audio 
tracks, the third track is used for small audio clips, when i disarm all 
other tracks so that only the third audio track is armed and when i then 
select a region and press m to mute the selected region i have (in older 
cinelerra versions) been able to insert an audio clip right after the 
region that has been muted before, but now the audio clip is either 
inserted at the beginning or right after other clips, is there something 
else in cinelerra 2.0 that i have to do than selecting a region and 
pressing m?


Thanks for any help/hints!!

BF.

[CinCVS] mute an audio region

2006-07-13 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

Hello,

I have marked a part of an audio track which is empty, then i used mute 
to mute the selected region, after that i wanted to insert a small audio 
 clip right after the region which i have muted before, but the audio 
clip is positioned at the beginning of the audiotrack and not after the 
muted region.


I have used the same technique before and it always worked, can someone 
tell me what´s going wrong, did i forgot something which i can´t 
remember right now?


Thanks for any hint/help!

[CinCVS] How many audio tracks can i add?

2006-07-13 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

Hello,

I have one Video track and 7 audio tracks in my project, which all work 
fine, but i need to add more audio tracks to the project, but if i add 
for example another one or more audio tracks etc... they don´t play 
anymore. Is cinelerra limitted to 7 audio tracks.


Not all play at the same time, most of them are used for short audio 
(wav) clips.


Thanks,

[CinCVS] Fading in / out in a Video Track and max frame size

2006-03-28 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

Hello,

I want to set a fade in and a fade out in a video track, so far this 
works, but the first few frames when fadding in and the last frames 
when fadding out is done are shown and they are in weird color, normaly 
there should be nothing. Does anybody know what this is and if i can 
prevent this?


Then i wanted to know if i can do some kind of scaling with cinelerra, 
the source video i use is 768x576 and i would like to have it rendered 
as MPEG Video for DVD which uses 720x576, when i set the format to 
720x576 some parts are just cut off in the video which isn´t that nice.


Third :-)

When i export a video to Motion JPEG A with 100% quality, is there a 
way to find out or to set the "max_frame_size" of the final video?


Thanks,
BF.

If I understand what you are doing, I think you should just paste 
silence instead of cutting or deleting from the audio.


If i try to paste silence, the audio is deleted anyway and the audio of 
clip 2 is moved to the beginning too just as if i would only delete the 
audio.

Both clips are in the same track, between both clips is a 
"slide-effect"

The audio part is armed as if it wouldn´t be armed i wouldn´t be able
to delete the audio of the first clip. But after deleting the audio
part the audio of the second clip moves to the beginning of the
timeline (where the old (deleted) audio part) has been before.
And i wonder if there is a method to prevent that.

Both clips are in the same track, between both clips is a "slide-effect"

Any delete you do will affect all the armed tracks, but shouldn't 
affect any of the unarmed tracks. Are the tracks that you want to have 
stay in place armed?

[CinCVS] Keep tracks in the timeline in current position

2006-03-25 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

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.


For example: I have a two video clips in the timeline, both have audio, 
and i need to delete the audio part of the first clip, but when i 
delete this audio part the audio part from the second clip will move to 
the position of the part that i just deleted, but it should stay where 
it is.


Did i miss some part in the docu about howto do that?

have you tried starting cinelerra from a console? usually the console

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

Yeah, i have permissions to the directory and there is far enough disk

Audio to render the audio part of the video works perfectly, but if i 
choose "MPEG Video" (without audio) rendering stops after 5 seconds with 
"Error rendering file".

[CinCVS] Effect Reframe RT

2006-02-17 Thread Bernhard Frühmesser

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?


Thanks,

Is there some kind of a tutorial video about the different editing effects?
