HeroineWarrior has released a new major version of cinelerra (V2.1).
Now all this changes have to be merged into the codebase of cinelerra-CV.
This is by no way easy and we can expect some additional instabilities
until things have been settled down.
Ah, ok. I wasn't aware of that.
I've been encountering some bugs in r836 that I'm really hoping may, at
least in part, be fixed in the 839 revision.
Could you give more details? Maybee there is a known workaround...
Sure. I'd love it if I could get this working :) I've been having a
few problems, mainly with rendering video, but also with the UI.
With the UI (this is a small thing, since I can jump around by
specifying arbitrary positions in the stream by typing in a time, but
still annoying) whenever I open a video file, the bottom horizontal
scroll bar in the main program window disappears. When I click on the
area with the missing scroll bar, the position moves forward, but
there's no way to move back, and I also can't slide it to and from
various positions in the stream since the bar is missing. That's a very
small thing; I've already learned to work around that :)
The other problems that I've been having (these are more serious; I'm
not sure if it's due to the libraries - or lack thereof - that are
installed on my machine) involve the rendering and previewing of video.
Yesterday, I had no problem playing a video stream in the preview window
(I'm not sure if that's the correct term), but today, I only get sound.
The video remains on one still frame, unless I click repeatedly on the
play button, in which case the frame only moves forward by one and
remains still once more. I haven't figured this out. It didn't happen
until after I tried rendering video (at least I think that was the
common denominator; I'm not sure), afterwhich even restarting the
program gives rise to the same problem. I tried completely removing
~/.bcast, but that had no effect on this problem. I tried re-compiling
and re-installing (I know that shouldn't do anything, but I was
desperate), and it actually fixed the problem, until I tried again to
render video. After that, the effect was the same.
Whenever I render video in this state, even when I make sure I have
explicitly told it to render both video and audio (and then just video
with no audio when that didn't work), the video in the preview window
will not move, and the render will go very fast (~2 minutes), afterwhich
I find that it only rendered the audio and not the video. I confirmed
with the same test video stream that when it did work (yesterday), it
took about an hour.
Also, in regards to rendering video (these were problems I had
yesterday, while the video was still working properly), whenever I would
try to render to Raw DV, the program would crash (I'm not at the
computer, otherwise I could produce the console errors I got; I can post
those again later). The same problems would happen when I would try to
render mpeg video. I found that one of the binaries in the lib
directory for rendering mpeg video was missing from the build (even
though the render window still gave me the option), so that was the
problem with that (the console messages complained about that executable
missing.)
I apologize for not having any console output for you. I can try to
post something tomorrow (if I can even get that far; right now I'm
having the problem with not even being able to get video anymore.)
