Re: [CinCV] Server Funding

Some time ago I've send the following text to the 'Transfering

and how to send me money in a transparent way:


--- here is the old text--->

The Server on the other side isn't payed either (or rather its me who
is paying for it), but I can promise not to take it down because of
that (for the time being). Still I'd like to get some money eventually.
We once agreed that Cinelerra will contribute 10Eur per month to the
server rent, meanwhile the static IPv4 Address gets billed too that
would be 11Eur/Month. I haven't made the accounting for the
server since some time now but I guess it is a few years (approx 2-3
years) in debt now.

If anyone wants to help out I'd like to propose following plan to make
payment as transparently as possible:

1. If anyone wants to send me money for the server, place a pledge on
this Mailinglist or send me a private Mail (and express me if you
want to do this anonymously) including the amount of money you want
to send.
2. I'll then send an ack/acceptance Mail to the ML and contact you
directly about how you can transfer me money.
3. You send me the money and as soon I receive it I'll acknowledge this
on the ML again (if I don't do so you can call me a scamer and
you lost the money :P)

anyways the Server is founded privately and is not tax deductible or
anything else. If you want that, just donate some money to Lumiera or
some other of your favorite Free Software Projects :)


Another more pressing thing is that the Server needs some love, aka
some responsible person/admin, I asked that longer ago but no one
cared. This is more serious as I can only keep it running as long it is
not broken/hacked/used for spaming. We have some solid backup
running and I've disabled the spamed wiki already but if some more
serious desaster strikes where simply restoring the backup won't be
enough then the Project would rather crumble to dust. Anyone with a
bit time and Debian/Webserver administration experience would be a big
help here. I can give some hands and assistance for starters. Contact me
if you feel right for that Job.

Hi,

I am new to Cinelerra.
I've read that the Community Version integrates the changes of the
Heroine Virtual version.
However considering the version numbers are quite different between both
version right now, does that still mean that CV 2.2. integrates all the
changes of HV 4.3 ?
In other terms, are there any benefits in using HV instead of CV, or can
I stick to CV ?

As far as I can tell, CV2.2 is a further development of CV2.1 which was 
original HV2.1. HV4.3 has features the CV version has not, however, the 
CV version sometimes has also features HV only now have.
The CV version was developed because the makers of the original version 
cared mostly about features and far less of stability.


Now CV2.1 was rather unstable due to the heritage but work was done to 
improve the stability of the CV2.2 version.
I don't know if the HV4.3 version is more robust/stable then previous 
versions but if the original developers still only care for features...I 
chose CV2.2. If anybody can tell me about the HV4.3 stability, I can 
consider to switch to HV4.3, although I do not need all the features 
HV4.x has.

Hi,

I would like to know where I could find information about people editing
feature films meant for theatrical release with Cinelerra.

I'm ready for a little sweat when it comes to figure out and put
together
the best machine to run it on. What worries me, though is whether the
software will be able to handle the task somehow easily.

I try to use as much free software as possible not just for economic
reasons
but to back the philosophy behind it. I would love to add Cinelerra
to my
professional kit.

Thanks a lot!

Good work for you guys.



Hi Leandro,

What kind of workflow do you have? Are you shooting digital or film?
Do you need to collaborate with post production houses? Separate
offline and online edit? These questions are rather important, because
I'm afraid to say that Cinelerra might not yet be there for heavy
professional work.

Why? The biggest problem I can see is the lack of support for good
consistent handling of timecode. If, for example, you are going to do
an offline edit with DV and later recapture footage from HDCAM
according to an EDL in a post production house, it won't be too easy.

Some other things to consider:
- Cinelerra can be somewhat fickle when doing cuts. It isn't too
difficult to get black frames between cuts if one isn't very careful.
- You'll probably have to do quite many saves and backups. A LOT of
saves and backups.
- Codecs and file formats: Linux video does support many formats, at
least decode them. How efficient it is when doing it is another
question.
- The UI doesn't really have too many guides for moving video around.
Want to know how many frames you are dragging a clip forward or
backwards? Want to lock video and audio together? Then Cinelerra isn't
the tool you want.

To sum it up: it can be done, but it won't be too enjoyable trip, at
least if one has gotten used to many small but useful features present
in professional software. Cinelerra is certainly at the moment the
best Linux editing software, but unfortunately it doesn't mean that it
would be the tool I'd select for important work. If you want to edit
on Linux, you might be interested of Lightworks, which should be
released as beta for Linux next month.

Sorry to offer such a depressing view on Cinelerra -- I'm very much
for open source movement and use linux as my main operating system,
but at the moment it just isn't yet there if professional editing work
is concerned.

Best regards
Heikk

Hi Leandro,
At onset, I must admit that I share some of the views of Heikki with
regard to using Cinelerra for editing lengthy films.

However let me share my experience,
I've been making short films since 2004, short films that I presented at
our local kino club (kino Montréal being the first one of these clubs,
http://www.kino00.com/), I moved to Linux some time in 2008, because I
learn about Cinelerra and believed that It could match other
professional editing software. The learning curved has been steep and
had it fair share of frustration and lengthy problem/resolution
processes. I think that the worst of them resulted from the lack of
audio/video lock. It is frustrating to realize after multiples edit
steps on your time line, that an audio and a video sequences that you
had alined together are off by some keyframe because the audio or video
track was still "armed" while you where editing an other track.

I supposed that now that I'm comfortable with Cinelerra, after 3 or 4
years of editing 5 to 20 minutes short films, I would find it
interesting to tackle a full length production. Recently I've put up a
render farm of 8 cores and I'm been editing footage in 1080p
successfully. I use ffmpeg (an essential tool) to convert AVC video
(.MOV) from my cannon camera to Mjpeg and edit the Mjpeg in Cinelerra. I
export the final edit to raw YUV files that I convert to what ever final
format with ffmpeg. I use 4 hard drive in a raid 0 configuration to hold
the very large video files. Some time I find it useful to devide a
project in a coupled of smaller projects, which export's are united
later in the production process. In such a work flow, a feature film of
120 minutes would require some very large hard drive to hold all the
intermediate raw or Mjpeg footage.

I also read some where (correct me if I'm wrong) that the render engine
as no limits as to the size of the project. I've editing a few short
films in 2k and made some test (not exhaustive or anything) in a 4k
project. Editing 4k footage, albeit requirering a massive render farm
would seem to be an advantage of Cinelerra over some professional video
editing software.

Hence to sum up, I think that Cinelerra could be use for professional
work if you master its secrets, divide your project is sm

Hello

I want a low-budget desktop computer optimized for cinelerra. Say up

best for the money? If I need a graffic card which one gives the best 
value for money? How much memory is optimal?
My expectation is I will often have to stabilize shaky footage, and 
sometimes I want to overlay a shot onto another one. If I got it right 
these two things are done much faster by a graffic card, but some say 
to me that rendering relays heavily on the CPU, and a graffic card 
won't speed up that process. What is true?
My idea is to use an SSD for the swap partition (amongst others) Is 
that a good idea? Or are there some pitfalls? And which distribution 
will be the best performing. At this time I am using Ubuntu 8.04. I 
like it but I did never get cinelerra to work with that. Besides that 
cinelerra has been removed from the ubuntu repository two months ago, 
so no updates. Arch linux may be to archaic for me. How is Gentoo?

Any comments are welcome.

Gerrit


  1. You have to make the math yourself, since prices vary widly in The
 Netherlands.
  2. Using a modern CPU AMD/Intel will provide you with enough power.
  3. Rendering graphics using Cinelerra has nothing to do with the
 graphics card.
  4. Using SSD is an expensive option compared to having say, 4GB or
 more of main memory.
  5. use a modern Linux distro of any kind. If Cinelerra is not
 distributed with it, you can easily compile it yourself. Don't has
 experience there? Find a distro with Cinelerra included.

My first use of Cinelerra was with an S3 card, pentium 100MHz and 512 
MB. All worked well, albeit somewhat slower then today where I use an 
AMD phenom II X4, 8GB memory and 2 TB online. Main difference is 
processor speed and memory size.

What else can I do, I will look into the code and if it gets to

Ok, all of you are using top-listing?

As I stated before, my libraries are upto date, but since many...many
months cinerella is not updating anymore to the current versions of
either x264 or ffmpeg. Meaning that the project is dead in my view. And
as far as included x264 code goes, I do not see any library in the
source tree, only interface functions. There is also no switch
(documented) to disable x264 functionality.

Nope that is not working either. Like I said: I am using the latest git
version. However, about 2-3 months ago I had the same problem and nobody
reacted. One year ago I had a solution for another (mask) problem. Did
anybody incorporated it? Nope again.
This evening I tried again, to no avail.
I guess cinelerra is dead in the water and everybody is waiting for
Lumiera or the 4.x version (which they do already for the past 2-3
years). After all, nobody seems to maintain compatibility with x264 and
ffmpeg!?

Maybe I should look for another tool despite the fact that I love
cinelerra rich features (not its (in)stability ;))

Same result with various options.

As I asked before: advancements in ffmpeg and x264 are not incorporated
in the SVN repository? If so, it makes cinelerra only usable on old
systems without any recent update. I use x264 version form git.
Maybe I am missing something?

[CinCV] Not compiling with latest x264

2010-09-11 Thread Frans de Boer
Dear devs,

Cinelerra is not compiling anymore for the git repository. That is, the
new x264 is not eaten by cinelerra.
Message while compiling:

This is with or without my patch for the new ffmpeg (0.6) library. i.e.:
the same error is reported when I use the external-ffmpeg or not.

I am using; all latest version from git repositories and/or stable
distributions under OpenSuse 11.3. Whatever compiles and runs the 'make
check' properly.

X264 has been changed, but cinelerra does not keep up, so it seems.
Since the website doe not offer a "stable" tar file anymore, I have only
the git repositories of cinelerra to use.

Pointers and/or more concrete help is appreciated.
Frans

Thanks that is obvious, but how about the many improvements in x264 and
ffmpeg? Are we just ignoring them?

I was wrong, I have the patch since April 30th this year. I don't
remember if I made it myself or have received from someone. Anyhow, this
patch fixes the first reported error message. I did not apply yet
because I wanted to start fresh but the site is down to reload the git
repository again.

The patch is attached.

[CinCV] Old error in relation to FFMPEG

2010-08-30 Thread Frans de Boer
The next error has been reported long ago (> 1 year) and I remember that
a patch was proposed.
I can apply that patch again, but just wonder why this has not been
fixed already. After all, the build-in FFMPEG library is quite old and
numerous errors and improvements have been published already.

Using latest git source with external ffmpeg enabled:

Since Cinelerra version 4.x CV is still a pipe dream, the 2.1 CV version
might need a "makeover" and improvement to the ffmpeg libraries. Wish I
could help, but I am no longer a good programmer anymore (has been to
long ago).

Hope someone can do something with the above report.

Hi Adam,

I hope you don't take offense, but 10.5GB is no huge but rather a very
small project. But as with all systems, if you use up to many system
resources, you run into some system boundaries. Now believe me, 2+1 GB
is not much but I have run projects having only 640MB + 1 GB swap.
Lately I have 8+8GB and things really fly now.

The reason that Cinerella is crashing is maybe more a Cinderella
question then anything else. The CV version is relatively stable
compared to the original version, but it is still prone to crashes. I
even have a script to reset things after a crash because I need it many
times.

So, just continue and sit back, don't move mouse or whatever and your
more likely to have the files included.

Regards, Frans.

Christian,

Don't ask me to do stuff like maintaining web content. I am bound to
mesh things up.
However, making documents more readable is a task I could do well. Also,
shell programming (bash) is something I do on occasion also. Still
learning tricks their.

So, you can sent me some trial documents if you like. Let me spent my
time fruitfully instead of twiddling my thumbs ;)

Dear All,

I am using CV 2.1 and am still waiting for the CV 4.1 version.
As the developers have stated before - that the original authors where
interested in features, not stability and thus usability - I just wonder
why there is no CV 4.1 release yet. Is it because the original 4.1
release is so much more stable today? Or is it a matter of fading

[CinCV] Compile error

2009-08-14 Thread Frans de Boer
Dear Reader,

Using the latest external libraries from git and svn of all the required
packages, I stumble on the next error:

qtffmpeg.c:228: error: ‘PIX_FMT_YUV422’ undeclared (first use in this
function)

If I compile cinelerra without the '--with-external-ffmpeg' switch, all
goes well. But then I end up with ffmpeg support which is rather dated
by now. Since the next Cinelerra version (4.x?) seems to take forever
and lumiera is also taken forever to complete, does anyone has a
suggestion how to resolve this question?

Of course, I might be chasing ghosts because improvements in ffmpeg are
not used in the latest git Cinelerra version?

I had the same problem when I started. As it turns out, you can not use
a 1024x768 screen. The minimum is 1280x1024. I guess this is the same
with you. You can overcome this problem also by pressing ALT-A [if I
remember correctly].

Hello Elisabeth,

The simple answer is just: yes.

Cinelerra is licensed under (L)GPL and is free of use. The license it
self deals with addition and/or modifications to the source code. In
fact, Cinelerra is already used by some of the big players to make, yes,
commercial grade clips.

Be advised that this product is powerful but not for the fainthearted.

Good luck,
Frans.

I just wonder, if that is all that is changed? The discussion on the
FFmpeg-devel mailing list (albeit sometime quite strong) resulted in the
announcement that r15621 was the last 51 version. Now it seems that
there is one (!) change in structure member only?!!

What about 'error_resilience' being renamed to 'error_recognition'?
Note that libquicktime has been affected too.

[CinCV] FFmpeg and x264

2008-09-24 Thread Frans de Boer
Dear Readers,

In case you have not noticed it yet, FFmpeg, x264 and maybe other
packages have changed (and are still changing) their API/ABI as well as
some structures. This causes that Cinelerra can't be compiled with
FFmpeg SVN version 15262 and higher. The x264 libraries have changed
too, but I still have to figure out which version is still usable. For
now I am using the tarball of 20080825-2245. Note: the 2245 is probably
a version number of some kind, but until this date, that number stays
the same while the library is not backwards compatible anymore.

Side Note: This causes also that the compilation of the most recent
mplayer (out of SVN) will fail if you use FFmpeg SVN r15261 or younger.

Q: Will there be any changes in the cinelerra SVN just to cope with
these changes?
Q: If not, is it not better to collect dependent libraries and place
them in some repository - with a clear notice - to be used with the
current SVN r1061? I know I will collect those functional sources to the
latest working versions and probably will offer them online in the near
future on my private server (no warranty about up-time).

Kind Regards,
Frans de Boer.

PS: cinelerra-4 is affected too by these changes, so it will put more
burden on the migration process.

Ok, it is clear - as it was before - that HV is not interested in active
cooperation. What has CV4 that CV2 is missing and is really required?
Can't we just incorporate those functions? Because, merging is not a
nice job, knowing that there are probably a lot of errors again from HV
and from the merging process.

Re: [CinCV] Wrong colors

2008-06-27 Thread Frans de Boer
Yes, the input is DV, but since I want to create some DVD's I used YUV
$MPEG stream as the output format (picture_3) to be processed later.
Beside, I just used both the Format (using default PAL settings) and
Render options to set the various parameters. Nowhere I have seen the
YCbCr option.


So, assuming I have DV as input, what steps am I missing to make an
output file suitable for further processing towards the final DVD. Yes,
I have read the manual about it, but that does not seem to work.

Although it is a powerful package, it is not for those who want also a

with Cinelerra, I probably have to restart it 5-8 times

The original product is even more worse and I can't understand that
people want to work with it at all. Luckily, on the far horizon there
will be Lumiere and this time hopefully without the contribution of the
original HV authors. If Lumiere is functional equal to Cinelerra-CV but
at least stable, that by it self would be a great step forwards.

Starting Cinelerra and having an unresponsive program: kill the process
with kill , clear temp files and restart.
Working with Cinelerra and having a crash or unresponsive screen at some
point: Same as above, and reload backup file BEFORE!! doing anything
else.

Note: kill all instances of Cinelerra using a script like:
   kill $(ps -A |grep cinelerra | sed -e 's/ .*$//')

Nevertheless, looking at functionality only, it's a great program.

KR, Frans.

Re: [CinCV] lumiera

2008-04-08 Thread Frans de Boer
Like I said, they still are looking what to do with it. I spoke some
people just days after they announced the termination of MainActor and
again somewhere in the second half of last year.

Yes, looking at the last answer it seems that they know that they have a
gem-stone, but are sitting on it for no other purpose that someone comes
by with a big enough pile of money. However, as time goes by, the
gem-stone (albeit biodegradable) is getting older and loses it's appeal
and with it it's value. Still, if enough people band together, have a
good idea, maybe MainConcept will give in.

But, I get the impression that Lumiera is around the corner, so why
waste time on an incompatible and aging product.

In my view, there are now only two things to be done:
  * Make CV-Cinelerra more stable
  * Getting Lumiera ready AND compatible with cv-cinelerra's project
files.

That's it for today folks.

Maybe just a silly Idea: Why not take the MainActor codebase? They stiil
seem to look for a good way to dispense with that codebase anyhow.
if it needs funding? I have no idea, but if it does...some of us in the
community might give some small or larger contributions without
over-demanding provisions.

See my last mailing. Yes, I am new to this list. I was a MainActor adept
and a Adobe Premiere (win32) before. Since MainActor has been killed
off, I was looking for a viable successor. CV-Cinelerra seems to fit the
bill - although a "for better or worse" feeling is creeping upon me.

Re: [CinCV] lumiera

2008-04-07 Thread Frans de Boer
Okay, i understood before that the CV-Cinelerra team was working on a
new (bottom-up) cinelerra-CV version since it is obvious that if you
have to resort to an option to "restore from backup" that the product
must me fundamentally flawed anyhow and the HVW team does not seem to
care to remedy that, it's time to back away from that buggy software and
create something new.

Anyhow, the project was known to me as the CV-Cinerella version 3
project, not as the Lumiera project. So, it seems to be renamed, but the
main question might be: why is the original HVW project so flawed? Bad
leadership, disrespect of the user community (and/or ego tripping) or
what?

Apart of the many crashes, CV-Cinelerra (v 2.1) does offer many of the
things I expect from a professional Video Editor. it does has it's
excentric ways compared to MainActor/Adobe Premiere, but still deliver
AND because it uses XML files to create EDL files, it can be  - in
theory - portable to other editors as well.

My only hope sofare is that the new piece of code can handle the
CV-Cinelerra V2 XML files too. I have already restarted projects three
times - Adobe Premiere (win32) -> MainActor (linux) -> CV-Cinelerra
(linux) - I do hope that the last transition was the last one for many
years to come. Those transitions meant doing it all over again.

Keep up the good work,
Frans de Boer.

Re: [CinCV] Saving Preferences

2008-03-30 Thread Frans de Boer
Okay, I have seen the OK and Apply buttons when I enlarged my virtual
screen to a height of 1024. So, the buttons are there, but since my
screen is only 1024x768, it is just of the screen. It seems there are no
"Alt-key" combinations possible to invoke the OK,Apply or Close button.

yes, I am thinking of going to bigger screens, but for now it seems I
have to live with an uncomfortable 2048X1024 virtual screen instead of
just 2048x768. By the way, it seems that if I have a height of 800, the
buttons would show themselves. Any room for a fix?

Kind regards,
Frans de Boer.

Thanks, I can't see the bottom part of the Preference dialog, although I
use a screen height of 768. So when I use Cinelerra I must preset my
virtual screen to a height of 1024?

Are there short cut keys such as using Alt-A or the like?
