Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for
05/01/2019-05/31/2019 for builds
1. LEAP 15.1 (Sam notification) and DEBIAN 10.0 BUSTER/TESTING (AJ
notification) builds now available.
2. The CANVAS LOCK/REFRESH was completely reworked with many Mutex-s
being corrected to
Conditions. Although much testing was completed, there is still a
possibility that a deadlock could
occur under some missed situation. These could occur in the
Compositor or Viewer and if using
either X11 or X11-OpenGL video driver. Please report problems for
analysis and possible fixes.
3. The MASKS have had several changes implemented plus additional
features to include:
- OPENGL UPGRADED FROM 1.X TO 4.3 for masking only. This will
affect any operating system that
has not upgraded to at least 4.3 and does not have graphics
driver upgrades when using Feather.
Since 4.3 was released in 2012 this was kind of a surprise
until GG started updating for Cinelerra
masking and found out how difficult it was to do this. The
user workaround is to check the box
“Disable OpenGL masking” in the Mask menu if using Feather
for those computers at 1.x.
- added ROTATE AND SCALE around a pivot point to include a Focus
X/Y setting
- now have NAMES FOR MASKS instead of just the numbers 0 through 7
and they show on compositor
- the function FEATHER is a logical function instead of a
mathematical function so should be faster and
now works correctly in OpenGL without the stairstep effect and
spurious blobs appearing
- rework of the mask engine and lots of cleanup done to include
correcting keyframe spanning for
mask auto update_params; fix for mask problem of Mask Clear
generating a keyframe at position 0,
and other minor bug fixes
- the Mode button for MULTIPLY AND SUBTRACT ALPHA HAS BEEN
REPLACED WITH FADE SLIDER bar with
positive and negative values
- a Clear button has been added to delete All Masks for
convenience
- Fade and Feather sliders have a sticky at 0 making it easy to
get to 0 and stay there momentarily
- GANG FOR FADE AND FEATHER has been added. This is a symbol to
the right of those slider bars and
looks like 2 links in a chain entwined. As you fade/feather one
of the masks, the others will
fade/feather in relation up to a point
- Markers checkbox added to turn on/off the points for easier
viewing
- Boundary checkbox added to turn on/off the boundary so as to not
interfere with your view
- RADIO BUTTONS ADDED, ONE FOR EACH MASK, to make it easy to
quickly change from one to another and
in addition the ones in use are in a different color; also a
tumbler so you can use the middle mouse
wheel to go from one to the other
4. POTENTIAL BIT HINT FOR NVIDIA GRAPHICS boards computer users - try
to enable/disable Vsync in ... driver's control application if you use
proprietary drivers. Disable "Sync to VBlank" (option for OpenGL) in
NVIDIA X Server Settings... has solved the problem! Thanks to Andrew.
This might help
anyone with an Nvidia card using Cinelerra and having low frames/sec.
5. USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
A flag in Settings→Preferences, Performance, “Use HW” device
with 3 choices of none, vaapi, or
vdpau has been added for using GPU instead of CPU for graphics
devices that are capable of doing
hardware acceleration. You may have to restart Cinelerra when
you set or change this initially.
When decoding during a load operation, you can make use of an
.opts file to allow for specifically
using hardware decode or not for a specific video file. For
usage of these last 2 items, temporarily
refer to
https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/GPU_potential_speedup.pdf
ENCODE HARDWARE ACCELERATION FOR VAAPI (Intel graphics board) + 4
opts file (h264, hevc, mjpeg,
mjpeg2) has been added.
Color 3 Way plugin has had “clear” buttons added by an
anonymous user/programmer. Convenient!
The 16 plugins which recently had the Clear feature added, have
had a MODIFIED CLEAR ICON added for
all the themes. This was tedious work credited to another
contributor and included all variations.
Olaf’s NEOPHYTE THEME HAS BEEN UPDATED. Especially
“beautiful” is the About tab in Preferences.
A NEW “2019 MODERN” THEME, CAKEWALK, has been added and is now
the default for users who do
not have an existing $HOME/.bcast5 file or you can switch to
it. Olaf credit for both themes.
GERMAN TRANSLATIONS in de.po have been upgraded to fix some and
include a lot more – by Olaf.
Language translations in fR.PO FOR FRENCH have been much improved
by contributions from Olivier.
The Shell Cmds feature has an additional option when doing an Add
“run /path/script.sh + argvs”
which allows for using $1, $2, … args by replacing them with
highlighted assets in the Resource
window.
6. BUGS/ISSUES FIXED
Build tweaks for the newest Fedora version 30 and Tags tweaks were
added for debugging purposes.
Fix for OpenGL Finish – OpenGL was crashing and last month’s
temporary workaround is now this
permanent fix. Thanks to Pierre using Mint 18.3 which
illustrated the bug. CIN_FINISH has been
removed because it was a workaround in effect when no other
resolution was available.
Title plugin fixes - missing alpha slider and color change on
characters now working correctly.
An error message will popup when the GPU cannot process video to
pass back to the CPU.
A booby trap has been fixed that occurred when you did a cancel on
the outline color button in Titler.
In the Titler, the Stamp timecode box was taking up too much space
so had to be moved.
There was a SEGV observed in vgui / cgui if closed while playing
that has now been fixed.
Updated ffmpeg git option in the build scripts. The line numbers
always change and ordinarily it is
only updated when a stable and worthy release for ffmpeg is
available.
Added register dumps for the system of user generated dumps to
help in analysis.
A SEGV was occurring because for some unknown reason there was a
divide by 0 for width/height
on a draw refresh. If the zero divisor condition exists, it
will now change it to the number 1.
OpenCV has been changed to no longer provide the SIFT/SURF
algorithms due to murky patents.
Make_shader routine has been reworked.
A SEGV destructor error for AC3 has been fixed.
There was a spurious mask drag tooltip that is now gone.
Several more contributions by Olivier to repair minor problems
include:
- corrections to the Debian control file
- the language translation xlat.sh script has been fixed
- lv2_blacklist.txt additions to avoid incompatible lv2 plugins
that prevent Cinelerra from starting
Five more ffmpeg plugins specific to vaapi usage were commented out
as contributed by John/Jacek
from the Solus team. It is possible, though not probable, that
they would work on some hardware.
Reworked Shells Cmds to refer to the CinelerraGG_manual.pdf file
and no outdated references.
However these will not be in effect until your
$HOME/.bcast5/Cinelerra_rc is re-created or edited.
Fixed OpenGL’s transform translate (again!).
Slight modification to the shell command, RenderMux.sh, in order to
create a logfile when used.
