Hi there,

I've just finished this simple test :

- from a common video, add a mask to dig a transparency hole in the
middle of the area
- export it into mov for linux, with the png+alpha compression (*this*
is the trick)
- the resulting video will be played in vlc with no visible hole

BUT

- loading it in another cinelerra project, and putting it in front of
another video will show the transparency hole 

GREAT, a new effect world is opening to me !!!


Hi,

Today, i'm trying to play with these transparent movies I'm importing 
into Cinelerra, and there's a point I'm missing.


When I create a transparent video from Cinelerra (for example, using a 
mask and transparenting a part of the picture) and export it, I can 
use it in another Cinelerra project and its transparency is respected.


Now I'm creating another transparent video from Cinelerra that is using 
a transparent .png image.
When importing this video into another Cinelerra project, the 
transparency has gone.



Seems like the only transparency being respected/recorded is the one 
coming from the Cinelerra masks, or at least the one that was produced 
by Cinelerra.



Has anyone ever noticed that?

Of course. These web pages are my bible.


Which format/codec are your original source files?


Different types.
But in each case, I get the same darkness+contrast issue :
- mp4
- h264, yuv420p
- mjpeg (I know, this is already mjpeg)
- ...


I sense ffmpeg command misses some clever options.

Hi,

Following the advices here :
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/get_media_ready.html
I'm converting with ffmpeg / avconv my input media files to MJPEG files.

No obvious quality loss occurs, but they result in darker videos - dark
enough to be noticed. In fact, they are getting darker and/or more
contrasted.

Obviously, once mjpeg-converted, they are well managed by Cinelerra.

I'm a completly newbie regarding to details of colorspace, encoding and
so on.

But when I'm converting, here is what I notice in avconv/ffmpeg output:

  Incompatible pixel format 'yuv420p' for codec 'mjpeg', auto-selecting
format 'yuvj420p'

This happens only on video that have this yuv420p pix format.
How do I have to understand that?

Is that those files will forever have to get darker when converted?
Is there a way to first convert the pixel format with no color/light
change?
Can ffmpeg/avconv managed other pix formats?

As you can see, I'm a bit lost amongst those notions, and though I'm not
looking for a direct and obvious answer, I'd be glad to be lead to
accurate documentation.


Hi,

I'm sorry to insist on that point, but according to every doc I read 
related to cinelerra, everyone seems to advice to convert to MJPEG.
This format sounds great to nle software, but I can't figure it out how 
I can manage this contrast problem.
I'm not clear about whether the fault is on my source files, or a 
limitation of the MJPEG format, or a limitation of the converter 
(ffmpeg/avconv).


I'm sure many of you have a well established workflow and you can't live 
with this issue, so maybe your video source formats don't bother you the 
way I'm bothered...

2011-12-30 Thread Nicolas Ecarnot

[Summary]
Add File selector memory according to the project.

[Long]

Hi there,

As one may post comments about Cin's next enhancements, I have a very 
very simple request, that may be quite simple to implement.
Each time a file selector window is displayed in Cinelerra, the path 
shown is remembered from the last time it was opened.


The path shown has no relation with the current project, and I find it 
weird and counter productive.


For example, I open project A, stored in /home/nico/A . I add some 
resources coming from the same path /home/nico/A .


Then I open a new project /home/nico/B/B.xml (replacing the previous one).
When I want to add additional resources to this project, the file 
selector shows me the /home/nico/A path.


I guess most of us try to keep most of the media files into the same 
project folder, and I guess that would be a reasonable effort to code?

What if your quess is wrong? Somebody may want to keep all his/her

different projects.

Einar


Understandable.

But the present way is also counterproductive for you, except if your 
store EVERY rush, every media in a single flat folder on your high speed 
disk (please, don't say so).


In fact, this would be the one and only case where the present way would 
keep useful.


Even in the case you store your media in a not-very-common-way, a 
relation between the proposed path and the xml project folder would help 
you.

[CinCV] Sound waveform disapearing...

2011-12-27 Thread Nicolas Ecarnot

Hi List,

Really, this is not a big issue, but I don't find how to cope with it.
Editing a quite long video (18'30''), the wound waveform preview only 
shows up for the 20 or 30 first seconds.

As I begin to slice the tracks, no ne waveform is being re-generated.

Is there some kind of cache somewhere I should flush?
Is there some kind of command/button I should use to make it display 
again this waveform?

I usually don't use it much, but this time, it might help me, so... :)

I experienced the very same issue.

Running cinelerra from the command line and rendering into mpeg4 shows 
this choice leads to a crash, where another codec (with the same

For the time being, my only answer is to render into another coedc, then

Hi,

To clarify this error affected Cinelerra versions prior to 2.2CV as well.
I have noted the same error when editing H.264 video from an iPod Touch.
In my experience the error was annoying and will interrupt playback on the
timeline however I could still do fades and titling etc. and render the
finished product successfully.

As Raffa clearly says in the link that Einar posted AVC/H.264/MPEG-4 are
very lousy editing formats and take major CPU horsepower for Cinelerra to
decode, one thing about Cinelerra is that if you take a bit of extra time
to give it an input format it likes it will reward you with greatly
increased stability.

I realize not everyone enjoys converting video to different formats with
the CLI or batch scripts, I personally have set up my own DNxHD and MJPEG
presets in WinFF (an ffmpeg GUI frontend) and it will do batches as well.
Unfortunately preset exporting in WinFF seems broken currently so I can
post the actual preset files to share, but I could share the commandlines
or my own custom WinFF 'presets.xml' file that I use in AV Linux if anyone
is interested.

Regards -GLEN


For sure, such command lines are interesting : I'd be glad to see them 
shared :)

Though being an ubuntu follower since long, the recent window manager

screen space of cinelerra.
Xubuntu is loading and stopping faster, is not bloated, does just the 
job, and Xfce is helping me working with a tool, and not working on the 
tool ;)
The one very long apt-get install blahblah anyone can find on any

the only action I had to do to make it a usable solution.


So now for me : xubuntu, stable, simple, efficient, and does the job!

Nothing better... still flickering.


What happens if you manually move your second keyframe a bit to the
left, causing the progression of the blur amount to stop a bit earlier,
not at the end? What happens with the flicker *after* that second keyframe

- does it continue to flicker?
- does it just stay there blurred and otherwise static?

-- Hermann V.


I tried what you proposed :
- Track during 10 seconds, still picture, blur effect on the whole duration
- first keyframe at 0 second, with radius = 0
- second keyframe at 5 seconds, with radius = 30

- rendering...

- flickering happens from 0 to 5 seconds. 5 last seconds shows a still 
blurred image.


I tried to play with other effects, but I'm not sure about the results.
Blur does produced this buggy result.

May someone else confirm?

[CinCV] Blur keyframing : flickering

2011-11-17 Thread Nicolas Ecarnot

Hi List,

In a single simple track, I have a still picture staying there for 10 
seconds, at say 30 fps.

I add a blur effect on the whole track, and activate automatic keyframing.

- At the beginning of the track, I set up blur radius = 0. This creates 
a keyframe symbol (yellow key).
- At the end of the track, I set up blur radius = 30. This also creates 
a second key symbol.


Rendering that, I was expecting my still image to progressively get more 
and more blurred.
Actually, this is what's happening, except this happens while heavily 
flickering (flickering between blurred pictures and completely sharp 
original).


I really don't know if this is something I did wrong or still don't 
understand?


(Trying the same thing with the fader renders smoothly, no flickering.)

I finally had some success and achieved what I was looking for :

- In this test case, the background is played but muted, that is to say 
the small icon don't send to output is barred.
- About the lighning, I think it really did a difference, and a strong 
lightning did help
- the settings to obtain a correct diff key are very sensible, and I'm 
sure the usage of green screen technics are much more simple. 
Considering this, I guess diff key can not be a serious alternative to 
green screen, but may be of some help sometimes.

[CinCV] Difference key... not that clear

2011-11-08 Thread Nicolas Ecarnot

Hi List,

Thanks to you, I'm still improving my Cinelerra experience, and patience 
rewards.


Now, I'm trying to discover Difference Key effect.
I followed the manual :
http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_14.html#SEC187

I have 2 tracks and one only media.
In this only media, I take two clips (of the exact same scene : someone 
walking from left to right). My cam is steady as it may cause it's just 
laying on the floor (so no move, no exposure change, no nothing).


Clip 1, in track 1 : the guy walking with the background
Clip 2, in track 2 below : the background only, after man has left
As you may guess, I was expecting clip1 - clip2 = manWalkingOnly

The doc says : The track with the background should be muted and 
underneath the track with the action and the colormodel should have an 
alpha channel.
I don't really understand and underneath ??? As it's muted, I could be 
12 tracks further, there's no influence...

Anyway, I followed those recommendations.
My project format is RGBA-8 Bit as I guess A meens alpha channel...

Well, nothing happens, I still see my budy walking, the background is 
still there... I surely missed something :)

[CinCV] Format and crashes, especially sound

2011-11-06 Thread Nicolas Ecarnot

Hi list,

Months after months, I keep fighting to keep me from quitting using 
Cinelerra, because I spend more time trying to find workarounds and 
accepting all its crashes, because once in a while, I still manage to 
achieve some success, but believe me, this is tough.


I am now able to use motion tracking, stabilization, chromakey, trivial 
masking, PIP, and effects. This took me almost 6 months because I also 
have a job and a family to deal with :)


This post is here to ask a general question, and a precise one :

I'm using Ubuntu Oneiric and Cinelerra CV 2.1.5-0.16.
I'm experiencing many many crashes and I am a very very patient man.

* General question : Are the different others release of Cinelerra more 
stable, and do they deserve I try to install them. According to what 
I've understood, my other choice may be :

- HV's version, but have to compile
- Last CV from SVN (or git, didn't understand), and I could also try to 
compile it

And most of it : would that give me a more stable Cinelerra.
My low skills do not pretend to need last features, but stability is 
crucial.


* Precise question : I think I understood the main problem came from the 
input files, and I'm starting to spend much time on pre-converting my 
rushes before feeding the beast. On the video point of view, I seem to 
have a good result. But sound keeps being a problem.
When I read this table : 
http://cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=supported_file_formats

I'm frightened to see that crashes is the most frequent word.

Nowadays I'm converting my input files with ffmpeg :
-vcodec mjpeg -vtag MJPG   for the video
and
-acodec pcm_s16le
or
-acodec libmp3lame
for the sound
In both cases, the playback in the viewer instantly crashes Cinelerra.

I read 759 To of Google answer webpages about the best ways to feed 
Cinelerra, and my results are varying (weird : the converted files 
should all work or fail)...


(I wrote my own notes : http://jms.ecarnot.net/doku.php?id=montagevideo)

The table above shows mp3 is not a good option for input files. Ok. More 
generally, what am I missing, what should I do best, what are your advices?


I strongly want to keep using Cinelerra, but today, I need a little help.

Hi Nicolas,


Hi Michal,

Thanks for your fast reply.


Thanks for sharing your notes. I use the official 2.1.5 release as
well. It took me a while to find some tricks against the crashes:

- try not to use undo ('z' key). Especially when I remove some object
from the timeline and then undo that, it use to crash. (gdb stops at
some caching methods ...probably a locking problem, but I am not sure.
It is difficult for me to trace that deeper.)


I keep this information in my memory, but the most frequent issues I 
have is :

- cinelerra is not running
- I launch cinelerra
- I load a small 1M avi file, containing mjpeg and audio that should work
- I push playback
- I roll the dice on my desktop
- When the dice stops on an edge, Cinelerra plays video and sound like 
described here :

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301454
Otherwise, it crashes.

If I disarm the audio track, cinelerra does not crash that frequently.
That's why I keep playing with it, but with no sound...


- images smaller than the format used for cinelerra project lead to
crash in playback. When I use portrait oriented images in a slideshow,
I always scale them to be at least as wide as the project format.


Yes, I also experienced that one, and solved it the same way.


- when cinelerra crashes anyway, I rerun it and use File -  Load
backup :o) and I also try to make backups manually.


Today, I started playing cinelerra one hour ago, and I think I reloaded 
it... say... 50 times... :/


Did I say I was patient?

Anyway, it looks like there's a problem in my sound setup (setup that is 
perfectly working with any other app, including pitivi, openshot, vlc, 
whatever-5.12.3...)


Following some recommendations, I set Audio driver on esound, with no 
server and port = 7007, and either cin. crashes, either I get an audio 
garbage which made my right ear bleed.
Funny thing is nmap -v localhost does not show anything on port 7007, 
neither tcp nor udp...


Still searching...

Le 06/11/2011 18:03, Michal Fapso a écrit :

Hi Nicolas,

could you put somewhere the avi file that is causing problems to you?
Or send it to my email. Also according to
http://cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=supported_file_formats the
AVI container is not so well supported by cinelerra. Maybe you could
try Quicktime (.mov) instead.


In fact, I posted this page as a reference, but reading it again for the 
eleventh time, I'm thinking it's not clear if it deals with input or 
rendering.
On a personal side, I greatly improved my import issues by converting my 
videos into MJPEG (and storing them in avi container).





If I disarm the audio track, cinelerra does not crash that frequently.
That's why I keep playing with it, but with no sound...


This is also my experience. Finally I did not use the sound of my
video clips and ended up only with few songs as a background music
(converted to .wav) and that works well.


Sounds like I always did the same, but now I need the source sound, so 
time has come for this new fight. Read below...





Today, I started playing cinelerra one hour ago, and I think I reloaded
it... say... 50 times... :/


U. That is patience, indeed! Can you somehow isolate the steps
that lead to the crash? Does it happen during playback, moving objects
around timeline, ...? Do you know how to work with GDB debugger? When
cinelerra crases, it can tell you where in the code it happened and
other useful stuff which can tell you more about the crash.


I could post the avi file, but the issue arises (or not) with different 
files, avi, mov, mp4, sometimes in mjpeg, sometimes in different other 
codecs.


I finaly did that : I understood this brave old DV format was rock 
solid, so I ffmpeg-converted a file into DV, then ffmpeg -i it to see 
what sound codec was used. It was pcm_s16le.
I then re-encoded the mp3 I was trying to insert, into wav with the 
pcm_s16le codec.


I also got rid of the Esound/void/7007 setting in cinelerra, and 
returned to ALSA.


Eventually, I will try to do the same on a whole large file (coming from 
a gopro) into MJPEG + pcm_s16le. I don't know if that makes sense, but 
if this allows me to work with cinelerra, my goal is reached.

[CinCV] Quicktime for linux / MPEG-4 Video : crash when rendering

2011-11-06 Thread Nicolas Ecarnot

Hi List,

Since my struggle 6 hours ago, and a victory for me (convert everything 
to MJPEG+wav, and stick to ALSA), I really progressed.


Until now!

My editing work is over, and I would like to render it.
I'm still using the same old setting I'm using for at least 6 months 
(ie. quicktime for linux, mpeg4-video, and audio two complement) and I 
see cinelerra crashing.
Actually, it stalls, but as I run it from a terminal, I see it crashes 
and waits (must ctrl-c it to quit).


- First thought : my editing has an issue?
I load an old work I rendered dozens of times with the same rendering 
settings : crash!

- I tried to render my brand recent work in ogg/thoera : OK
- I tried to render it sound only (ie. quicktime for linux (mov) and 
audio only) : it's working

So video is an issue.

Here's what I get on my terminal :

As I can not render anymore the project I was able to previously, the

So were there some changes around Quicktime for linux in between?

Could you give the same kind of tests with F-10 x86_64 and RPM Fusion
i bet you won't have any others issues
(if you pick the cinelerra-cv package from my own repository)

The problem with ATrpms is that there is only one person behind, and
he lacks time raising compilation problem upstream. Instead, RPM
Fusion is community maintained and contributors are working with
merging their patches upstream. So the RPM Fusion works will also
benefit to others and will allow a better knowledge base, when
answering possible bug reports. (usually).

I doubt anyone having a comprehensive understanding of the difference
between each of theses repository will pick even one package from
ATrpms.

Hello Tom.

I have a cinelerra RPM package for Fedora 10 (and older) x86_64 and x86
from my personal repository.
http://rpms.kwizart.net/

This package is been reviewed for RPM Fusion inclusion.
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118

If you want to improve compile hack cinelerra but don't want to start
from scratch, you can use the RPM Fusion repository along with the
cinelerra package I have.

One of the annoying problem Fedora package have is that fonts.dir
support is removed, and cinelerra lack support of a newer fontconfig
method. I think fonts are only used by one module effect.
For now i''m only using a hack that point the fonts search path to the
system fonts directory, but there is a need to regenerate fonts.dir to
use system fonts, which is a deprecated method and thus, not done
anymore in Fedora.
That way, it will be possible to remove the mscorefonts, which
redistribution in this form is illegal anyway.(and prevent the Fedora
package to be included).

 It does compile without a single issue on SUSE 11

Note that It does also for Fedora. but the problem is that cinelerra
needs to be raised to the fedora guidelines. Others distro have often
lower rules... the only problem cinelerra is facing for Fedora via
rpmfusion.org is the illegal fonts redistribution from Microsoft.
Once this problem is solved, the Fedora devs will start renewing its
v4l2 implementation within the Fedora Rawhide (meant developement)
version.

[CinCV] [Patches] cinelerra for Fedora 9 (compatible with rpm.livna.org)

2008-05-19 Thread Nicolas Chauvet

Hi all!

Here are the patches used for the pre-build Fedora 9 version of cinelerra.

Howto (x86 and x86_64).

su -
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm
rpm -ivh http://rpms.kwizart.net/kwizart-release-9.rpm
yum install cinelerra
And that's all - no need to tweak anything more.
(the kernel.shmmax parameter will be handled in /etc/sysctl.conf)
Please note that mixing incompatibles repository with livna will lead to 
well knwown problems.


About the patches:

Libaries:
- I would like to avoid using internals version of dependant libraries 
to use system ones instead. This concern libmpeg3 ffmpeg and 
mpeg2dec(which could be replaced with twolame i guess).


Fonts
- The cinelerra package bundles many fonts (used by the title plugins) 
that doesn't seems even redistributable (usually found with the 
mscorefonts package).
This should be avoided since this will leads to the fonts to be provided 
 twice; and it will save about 6Mb for the cinelerra package.
Instead cinelerra should scan in the system fonts directory 
(/usr/share/fonts ) for system fonts.
Actually, it searches for the fonts.dir catalog file expected in each 
directory. In a Fedora system, some fonts package bundled this kind
of file, but this is deprecated for at least two years. Packages should 
use fontconfig or else to use system fonts.
The workaround would be to use ttmkfdir mkfontdir in each directories to 
regenerate system fonts.


LibGL
The patch is aimed to fix a problem with libGL, but it fails on Fedora 
(that has libGL.so for mesa and even nVidia) - This kind of workaround 
should be handled in the specific distribution as it lead to fails in 
Fedora. (or maybe i haven't used --enable-opengl whereas the configure 
line suggest that it should be autodetected).


Others dynamic patches:
- The bundled cinelerra.spec suggest that :
ln -s ../../bin/mpeg2enc %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin
But cinelerra complains not to be able to load a binary on loading. I 
wonder what the purpose of this tweak ?


- sed -i -e 's|linux/time.h|time.h|' configure.in configure
The configure script test if v4l2 can be built with linux/time.h (and 
fails) but this header isn't specified in the source codec elsewhere. 
Instead time.h is found and the test will succeed if this file is used.


-sed -i -e 's|libavcodec/avcodec.h|ffmpeg/avcodec.h|' configure.in configure
Ffmpeg mess are a subject by itself. If you want to check for headers, 
start with pathes specifics headers then check for avcodec.h, this 
will save the false positive detection in case of multiple installation 
of ffmpeg. (not so uncommon - we know why ).
My pov is that ffmpeg shoudn't even be bundled in the source. And if 
ever built internally, it should follow the libmpeg3 example to be built 
shared with something like :

ffmpeg_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0:0 -release 2.1.0

I hope some of theses can be picked or at least discussed.

[CinCVS] gcc 4.3.0 error: multiple parameters named 'fade'

2008-01-08 Thread Nicolas Chauvet
Hi!

I'm testing gcc 4.3.0 targeted for Fedora 9.
while compiling cinelerra (svn 20080105), I have an error
(might have others)

playback3d.h: At global scope:
playback3d.h:228: error: multiple parameters named 'fade'

This doesn't matter to fix this error soon. as gcc 4.3.0 isn't already
out. But might be interesting to keep in mind. Of course If a patch is
available, I could test if there is other problem...

 Thanks for nighto, who did part of the job. We would appreciate having a
 feedback if our work was useful and if cinelerra is in fact going to be at
 Ubuntu Studio's release.
 
 A personal note on the copyright of fonts: I myself did a google search
 for free fonts and there are some sites that have freeware fonts. I did a
 recursive wget on the first site that popped up and got myself about 1.800.
 Some have more restrictive licenses, but mostly are free at least for
 distribution and/or non-commercial uses. My suggestion then is to choose
 some 10 to 30 likeable fonts and check their licenses (so you won't have 
 the
 trouble of checking them all) and distribute cinelerra with them.
 
 I personally have skipped chacking the .png files for I thought it seemed
 senseless.
 
 
 Also, see full results at the link above.

Re: [CinCVS] rotate video effect

2007-04-04 Thread Nicolas Maufrais
Scott,

You have to edit the keyframes of the SAME rotate effect. For example,
after having selected the auto keyframe mode :
- set a rotate angle of 0 degree at the beginning of the rotate effect
- go at the end of the same rotate effect, and set a rotation angle of
  180 degrees.

I haven't checked that by myself, but that should work if the rotation
effect supports keyframes.

Heroine Virtual Ltd recommends disabling swap when a lot of memory is

 You also seem to be running everything as 'root' which is generally

I also have to use Cinelerra as root. That's because it is far more

 false. ubuntu is free. canonical is a company. if canonical goes down
 ubuntu remains free. if canonical decides to release a commercial
 version of ubuntu they cannot call it ubuntu because ubuntu is still
 free. even if canonical decides some day going the evil way you can
 take last ubuntu version and fork it because the code is (don't you
 guess?) free.
 
 this is a bad FUD and makes lot of confusion to users.

No. That's not FUD. Linux was born without business (making money) in
mind. And Debian and some other distributions agree with this principle.
That's what makes Linux great. Without those principles, Linux wouldn't
be what it is now. Ubuntu advantage over Debian is that it's easier to
install and configure. Debian asks you to RTFM. But if principles are
important for you, and you are able to read a manual, Debian is the
distribution to choose.

 you can blame lot of things about canonical/debian relationships, but
 saying a lie lot of times doesn't make it true...
 
 wait, was exactly what bush did!!!

Do you compare me with Bush? Talking about a computer distribution is
something. Doing personnal attacks on someone you don't know is
something totally different. Before talking about FUD, you should think
twice before posting things like this on a mailing-list.

Hello,

I don't thing greping for the word licence is a good idea. That's not
because there's no licence header of any kind that you can make any
assumption about its licence. Some applications or librairies doesn't
have such headers in their sources. Mmmm... that sounds like Cinelerra,
doesn't it? Moreover, some files could contain code from different
applications.

The Source already made some nice video tutorials about Cinelerra. They

adding the subtitles a week ago. 50% of the first tutorial is done, and
then I discovered a nasty bug in the subtitle editor I used. The bug was

I then hope those subtitles will be translated, since not all the
Cinelerra-CV users speak English...

Re: [CinCVS] HDV books

Terje,

On Sun, Jan 28, 2007 at 09:53:50AM +0100, Terje J. Hanssen wrote:
 I'm interested to hear if somebody has read any of these books?
 Other suggestions?

I'm not quite sure those books will be really useful for helping you to
edit HDV with Cinelerra. The latest addition in the Wiki about HDV, made
by Marcin Kostur is probably more useful for that. However, they could
help you to understand the principles of HDV, for sure.

 Is there any known book project in work for Cinelerra?

I don't think so. However, some time ago a book was published about
Broadcast 2000, which is the ancestor of Cinelerra:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Broadcast-2000-C-Fulton/dp/1886411700
I think it's so out of date now that it's almost useless...

I'll put in the manual what Marcin added in the Wiki in the following
days. Any additional information about editing HDV in Cinelerra is
welcome.

Hannes,

I reply on this mailing-list because of your mail filtering rules. ;-)

I commented out the 2 lines of qth264.c and recompiled r983 with the
debugging symbols. I load the .DV file and then Cinelerra didn't crash.
In fact, it freezed. The mouse cursor looks as a clock, and nothing
happens. I had to Ctrl-C Cinelerra in gdb. Here's the output:

Re: [CinCVS] audio levels

2007-01-20 Thread Nicolas Maufrais
Hello,

What about simply reducing the audio level in Cinelerra using the fader?
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_6.html#SEC98
There're several ways to reduce the audio level in Cinelerra. Using the
fader is the easiest one.

I don't use such a beast (@home, to run Cinelerra ;-)). Mine is a

Definitely an Nvidia one. An NVidia 7600GS works fine, as stated here:

 What 64 bit distribution would you recommend?

Oh yes... I already contacted Aaron Newcomb of The Source. In fact, he's

The Source's tutorials are good. Aaron agreed to give them to the

add subtitles to those tutorials. I'll first write the English

  Mmmm... You got it wrong here. Here's the situation:

  - during that time, some people continued to edit the twiki
  - now, the new wiki is online, and the twiki contents which was added in
from Nov 8 2006 to today isn't in the manual. You can have a look at
the Twiki changes here:
http://ftconsult.taxnetusa.com/twiki/bin/view/Cinelerra/WebChanges
 
 No, I did not get it wrong.  Please review the content I mention before
 making such claims.  I understand if you left some content out of the
 new manual, but the content at the link I posted has been in the Twiki
 much longer than Nov 6, 2006.  That page has not been changed since Aug
 2006.

I looked at the Suse page on the Twiki. I did not put in in the manual,
because the way it is formulated is too wiki oriented. In the first
paragraph, someone explains it did not work for him. In the second
paragraph, it seems a too personnal experience, not too generic in my
opinion. As regards to the third paragraph, it's about Suse 9.0 and 9.2
which seem rather old. That information quality was not up to the
standard required to be put in a manual. Moreover, I didn't know enough
then (and will never know more) about Suse to be able to revise it
before puting it into the manual.

 I would like it made clear that some content is not in the new manual. 
 I'm somewhat offended that you are suggesting all the content is, and
 are asking people to add content which was already in the older wiki. 
 Several of us put a good amount of time into information in the older
 wiki.  Please remember those contributions also.
 I understand you did a lot of work on the new format, and you have a
 vested interest in supporting it.

I do remember those contributions. Around 5-10% of the wiki is not in
the manual. Now, you have to understand several things:
- the documentation was a total mess some months ago, and the
  information was squattered between several documents. Moreover, the
  Twiki wasn't updated with the latest version of Secrets of Cinelerra
- some contents in the twiki isn't appropriate for being put in a
  manual,
- I ask the help of translators to take the translations remaining in
  the wiki and translate the manual. Two people replied, for Italian and
  Brazilian.
- you're not paying for that manual. You have to understand that not
  everything is perfect. But *HELL*, I posted several messages on this
  mailing-list about the documentation. I asked people for their
  opinion, their ideas. I asked for help on the IRC to merge the twiki
  and the new version of Secrets into 1 manual, and in texinfo format.
  Did anyone helped me to do that dirty job? NO. I don't thing you know
  how much time that asked me. You should have a look at the Changelog
  to get a better view.

Now, rather than ranting, as I said, you're welcome to participate in
working on the manual. If you know of any information about how to
install Cinelerra on a recent version of Suse, you're welcome to do so.
If you see any information still in the TWiki which isn't in the manual,
please put it in the new wiki. I remind you that for the moment, nobody
edited the wiki apart from me. I made the wiki to allow everyone to
improve the manual, in an easy way. Instead of criticizing what have be
done, improve it; be more constructive.

  r944 and previous releases, and crashes in r945! That's strange, because

  Anyway, I really would like to test your patched revision with that
  project, because it'd really be a good test to validate the changes you
  made.
 
 You can easily attach the changes onto r944 in this way:
 
 # create a test branch
   $ git-branch fix-for-944
 # attach it onto r944
   $ git-rebase --onto cb60b61e8 dd3575b15e4 fix-for-944
 
 (Use 'gitk master fix-for-944' to verify that cb60b61e8... is r973 and 
 dd3575b15e4... is r944, and you can use other commit ids for --onto if you 
 want to.)

Sorry, but I don't know git enough to do that...
$ cg-clone git://git.pipapo.org/cinelerra/j6t
$ git-branch fix-for-944
fatal: Not a git repository

  Here's the gdb output when opening the project in r945:
  http://www.europephoto.com/temp/bug_when_loading_huge_project_in_r945.txt
 
 I know this crash and have looked into it in the past, but can't reproduce 
 it. 
 It must be some race condition or memory corruption in some other part of the 
 program. What codec is inside your AVI?

ID_DEMUXER=avi
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=dvsd
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=2880
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=720
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=576
ID_VIDEO_FPS=25.000

ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=1
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=1024000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=0
ID_AUDIO_NCH=0
ID_LENGTH=561.76

That seems to be a regression beginning from r945 up to the latest
revision... :-/

Raffaella,

That's definitely not the thing to do!!! :-/
The twiki structure is really different from the manual's one. The Twiki
structure wasn't appropriate to do a manual. So, I did took Secrets of
Cinelerra, added the Twiki contents in there, and then started adding
things. You're not translating the good thing! The good way to translate
the manual is explained in the TRANSLATIONS file in the doc directory of
the SVN release, or the git repository containing the latest manuals
versions.

  Cinelerra on Suse in the wiki:
 
 http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=english_manual:cinelerra_cv_en_2#suse

 I'll have a look at what I possibly can do.
 But first, as I'm a newbie working with wikis, I need:
 
 1. Some guidelines how and where (url) to write (edit, preview) stuff
 into the wiki?

Register on the wiki. There's a login button in the right bottom
corner. Click on it, and then click on the Register link.

 2. Guidelines how to add or complement screenshots into the wiki?

When you edit a page, there's a button which allows one to upload an
image to the wiki, and use it in a page.

 In my opinion, it is important to complement the text with rich
 graphical images from screenshots and the gui both in the wiki and
 manual. Graphical images of gui tools, buttons and menus and as
 exmamples makes the difference of what looks easy and attractive to go
 on with, not at least for new users.

Yep. Don't hesitate to add more images. =)

 Linux distros with gui based installation and configuration tools
 (package managers), should preferably be shown using these, not only
 with general command lines like rpm. For openSUSE this is the YaST2
 toolbox. This gui layer is also wishible for users whose interest is
 sole editing with Cinelerra without being frightened by underlying Linux
 commands.

OK. If you want to add screenshots of YaST2, don't hesitate to do so.
=)
I don't know much about Suse, so I don't know YaST2 at all. In Debian,
there's Synaptic.

Bye!
Nicolas.

Does anyone here has already made tutorials about Cinelerra which aren't

Rafael,

The language setting is wiki-wide. I mean, it's not possible to get
the language to change according to the preferred language set in the
browser. It *could* be possible to do some code changes (and indeed, I
think such plugins exist), however, I want the wiki to be as simplier as
possible to ease maintenance (=updates).

Moreover, the manual available in the wiki is, and will stay, English.
People who understand what is written in the English manual are supposed
to understand the wiki interface which is in English.

I'd agree to put in the wiki a manual in another language if a
maintainer agrees to commit changes to the English manual. For the
moment, changes are made in the English manual only. There's not enough
people collaborating on the documentation to get changes made in other
manuals commited to the English manual. That's the way manuals are
developped in other projects too.

Bye!
Nicolas.

 I'm looking for a video editing tool that can do this, and it seems to
 be a feature that is either missing in all the tools I've looked at so

 difficult/obscure to achieve that I've failed to find any reference to
 it in any documentation I have found. Can Cinerella be used to achieve this?
 
 Here's what I'm after in a bit more detail. I have a quad multiplexer
 that puts 4 camera inputs into a PAL stream. I then use something like
 mplayer/mencoder to split this up into 4 separate quarter PAL videos.
 
 What I would like to be able to do then is have parts of the final
 directed sequence be in split-screen mode, with two or even three videos
 showing at the same time (i.e. 2-3 sectors on the screen), with some
 arbitrary cut between them. For example in the case of a 2-way split,
 I'd like to have the screen cut in two, diagonally, from bottom left to
 top right, with one video showing in the top/left sector and one video
 showing in the bottom/right sector.
 
 I would also like to arbitrarily resize/move the video in each sector so
 as to best show the relevant part of the picture.
 
 How would I go about achieving this in Cinerella?

Gordan,

That can easily be done by editing the projector. It's explained in the
manual:

 The easiest way may be to replace mpeg2enc.plugin in the cinelerra
 plugin directory with a script, rather than a softlink or a copy of the
 binary.  The script can call your main binary with whatever parameters
 you need.
 
 see:

 (I've noticed some trouble with the various mpeg2enc parameters also.  I
 think only one of the default command sets even works with my mpeg2enc. 
 There's something we could fix.)

I added what I wrote in the Twiki in the manual too. Some value for the
parameters changed too:

[CinCVS] New Cinelerra-CV wiki on cvs.cinelerra.org

2007-01-10 Thread Nicolas Maufrais
Hello,

I put a new wiki online on cvs.cinelerra.org. It contains the
Cinelerra-CV manual. It's available here:
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php

For a week or two, you'll be able to register an account by yourself on
the wiki. Then, I'll close auto-registration, and people will then have
to send me an email to get an account. That's the only way to keep
spamers out of the wiki.

You can have a look at the documentation workflow on that page:
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation

People having an account on the server can send me an email to get more
details about the wiki.

Have a nice day,

Hannes,

I did fetch and installed your patched revision. I did some unitary
tests, and it seems to work fine. Then, I decided to make THE ultimate
test. I mean, loading, tweaking and rendering one part of a huge
project with hundreds of fade and mute keyframes defined.
And then... ***CRASH*** :-/
So, I did loaded the project with the latest revision, and older
revisions (I have more than 30 revisions of cinelerra installed on my
system for testing and bug reporting purpose).
I tracked the bug, and it appears in r945. The project loads fine with
r944 and previous releases, and crashes in r945! That's strange, because
here's the SVN commit note:
r945 | minmax | 2006-10-21 00:51:56 +0200 (Sat, 21 Oct 2006) | 2 lines
Revert merge of editing modes

Anyway, I really would like to test your patched revision with that
project, because it'd really be a good test to validate the changes you
made.

Here's the gdb output when opening the project in r945:
http://www.europephoto.com/temp/bug_when_loading_huge_project_in_r945.txt

That's a problem not really related to your patch! However, as I said,
being able to open that huge project file with all the fade and mute
keyframes would really allow me to validate your changes.

 Thank you very much! I wait till all the parts are proof-read, and I
 commit your work. =)
 
 As regards to the docs, there's a wiki which is planned. In fact, it's
 already available, in a beta-test state. It will contain the English
 manual, allowing people to easily contribute.
 
 Nicolas.
 
 
 Here are my changes to part 2. I learned a lot just by reading this section.
 Great job!

Re: [CinCVS] Newbie - problem with simple MPEG clip playback

2006-12-29 Thread Nicolas Maufrais
Hello,

Could you put somewhere on the internet the mpeg file brent.mpg, or
brent.flv? That way we could have a look at it.

Nicolas.

 Hello,
 
 I'm currently running Debian Etch and have installed cinelerra today from
 deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/sid/ ./
 
 I also have deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main in my
 sources.list (next to the etch entry for the same repository)
 
 The package cinelerra installs fine, but it chokes on MPEG video created
 with ffmpeg from youtube FLV files.
 
 Symptoms: pressing play in the viewer just skips the timeline to the
 end of the video, while just making a popping sound (using the ALSA
 sound driver)
 
 ffmpeg -i says about the file

 Cinelerra media info lists 2 audio channels 22050 Hz (bits: unknown),

 This mpg file was created from a flv file using ffmpeg by issuing the
 command
 
 ffmpeg -i brent.flv -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240 brent.mpg
 
 
 I have similar problems with other mpg files created from flv files; i'm
 using an ffmpeg version on my Debian sarge box:
 FFmpeg version CVS, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
   configuration:  --prefix=/usr --libdir=${prefix}/lib

 The same clips can be played in MainActor demo version 5.5.37 (without
 sound though).
 
 
 So I suppose my questions come down to:
 
 1. Is a normal working cinelerra from kiberpipa supposed to support the
 mpg files I'm trying to feed it?
 2. Has anyone tried to run cinelerra on debian etch with minimal sid
 packages?
 3. Maybe some more packages from Debian multimedia on my system need to
 be upgraded from etch to sid?
 
 
 Thanx,
 
 Pieter

Well, the most important thing is that you can now edit your file in
Cinelerra.

  Nicolas.
 

 
 Thx for your quick response;
 
 for starters, I have found my mistake: the flv video contains mp3
 audio (single track 22050 Hz).
 When encoding to brent.mpg, audio was encoded as mp2 mono and
 mis-recognized in cinelerra as having two tracks.
 
 When I gave the additional option -acodec mp3 to ffmpeg, I have created
 a brent2.mpg file which is now correctly recognized by cinelerra as
 having a single audio track; playback now seems to work as normal.
 
 When I go back to work in January, I might upload the files (asymmetric
 broadband at home), but the only difference in ffmpeg encoding I used
 is the -acodec mp3 switch. Interestingly though, ffmpeg -i on both files
 still reads
 
 Input #0, mpeg, from 'brent.mpg':  -- without -acodec
 mp3 switch
   Duration: 00:03:53.6, start: 0.50, bitrate: 570 kb/s
   Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg1video, yuv420p, 320x240, 104857 kb/s,
 25.00 fps(r)
   Stream #0.1[0x1c0]: Audio: mp2, 22050 Hz, mono, 56 kb/s
 
 Input #0, mpeg, from 'brent2.mpg' -- with -acodec mp3
 switch:
   Duration: 00:03:53.7, start: 0.50, bitrate: 570 kb/s
   Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg1video, yuv420p, 320x240, 104857 kb/s,
 25.00 fps(r)
   Stream #0.1[0x1c0]: Audio: mp2, 22050 Hz, mono, 56 kb/s
 
 
 Which looks the same to me, although the file sizes are different (by a
 little) and only the latter file works ok in cinelerra.

I got a PV-GS400. It works without any problem with dvgrab. I assume
that's the case for all normal DV cameras.

Ciao Raffaella!

On Fri, Dec 22, 2006 at 05:51:27PM +0100, Raffaella Traniello wrote:
 Eventually, from today I have some time to spend on documentation.

Mmmm. Today's almost finished! Did you work on the documentation? ;-)

 Clouds over git are gradually dissolving and I'm making up a sort of
 understanding. 
 But when cehteh asked me a ssh key I realised I had another chapter to
 add to my TO LEARN list. (Fortunately the web is full of tutorials).

IMO, you don't really need to perfectly know Cinelerra to translate the
documentation. What you need is a correct understanding of English, and
good writing skills in your own language (that's the most important).
You could also ask some Italian people to proof-read the manual when
it's finished.

 I'm wondering if you have a deadline in mind for the Italian Translation
 of the CV Manual.

No. I know it takes time. I'm proof reading Jean-Luc Coulon's French
translation of the manual, and just proof-reading it takes a lot of
time.

However, right now, the documentation is frozen. I mean, there won't
be new editions for a few weeks, the reasons being:
- I'm busy proof-reading the French translation made by Jean-Luc
- I'm working on the wiki
- I'll have to work on some online help system with Pierre
- I'm waiting for the English native speakers to proof read the English
  manual

Therefore, that time could be used by people to translate the manual.
That way, it would not be necessary to re-work on the translated manual,
in order to update them to the latest edition of the English manual.

However, having the manual translated, even if it's not the latest
edition, would be great! For the moment, it's available only in English.
French will come soon, but having the manual translated to other
languages would be *REALLY* useful for Italian people.

If you wish to work on the Italian translation of the manual, that also
would be great if you become the maintainer of the italian manual. I
can't work on the italian manual, the Italian words I know being:
- expresso
- cappucino
- pizza
- pasta
and:
- Valentino Rossi
- Materazzi (unfortunately...)

I understand translating a manual takes time. We're not in a hurry. But
starting the translation would at least be a good start! =)
I think the translated manual are a kind of investment. They're not
just a web page. They're in texinfo (typesetting) format, will be put in
the SVN repository, and available for everyone in several formats (HTML,
PDF, and even online help in Cinelerra). Time spent on translating the
manual won't be wasted, it's really an investment which will help a lot
of people.

 PS:
 If you have time to spare, watch these funny Flash short animations by
 Bruno Bozzetto (one of our best animations directors). They show The
 Italian attitude on the road. You may find them interesting.
 http://www.infonegocio.com/xeron/bruno/yesno.html

I already saw that one! Quite funny indeed! It's been posted to a lot of
French motorbike forums. As I already said to you, I still have to
understand the way you Italian people drive. That's really scary!!!

 http://www.infonegocio.com/xeron/bruno/italy.html

That one's great, even better than the yesno one! I've never seen it
before! =)

Ciao!
Nicolas.

[CinCVS] [DOCUMENTATION] Call for translators

2006-12-20 Thread Nicolas Maufrais
Hello,

I'd like to know if some of you would like to participate in translating
the Cinelerra CV manual. It is made from:
- Secrets of Cinelerra 2.1 (the official HV book),
- the contents written by several people in Alex's Ferrer wiki. This
  wiki was made from a copy of Secrets of Cinelerra
Since translations are already available in the Wiki, the work already
done in the Wiki could be put into the translated manual.
Alex's Twiki is available in the following languages:
Spanish, French, Italian and Slovenian.

The French translation is almost done. Jean-Luc Coulon did it, and I'm
proof-reading it.

Each translation has to be made from the Cinelerra CV manual's source,
which is a Texinfo file. It's pure text and very easy to understand. You
do not have to worry about formatting.

The manual sources can be obtained by installing cogito and git-core on
your computer, and then by running:
cg-clone git://scm.pipapo.org/cinelerra-nicolasm

The translated manuals will be available on cvs.cinelerra.org in HTML,
PDF and TXT formats.

Any body wishing to help us with the translations? That would be a great
way to help people speaking the same language as you to use Cinelerra!

I froze the manual edition at 0.72 to let enough time to Scott C. Frase,
Jim Scott, El_jay and Joe Friedrichsen (native English speakers) to
proof read the manual.

FYI, the English manual will be put in a wiki, allowing people to work
on it in an easy way.
