Ciao!
Everyone knows Cinelerra has weird default settings.
They becomes an obstacle for young beginners and for teachers.
To spare the kids spending hours manually fixing settings, I prepared
raffa-defined configuration files to be copied on the student machines.
They can get it with one of the following commands, depending on their
standard:
PAL:
wget
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/Cinelerra_rc-PAL.tar.gz &&
tar xvf Cinelerra_rc-PAL.tar.gz && mv
PALCinelerraSettings/Cinelerra_rc .bcast/Cinelerra_rc
NTSC:
wget
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/Cinelerra_rc-NTSC.tar.gz
&& tar xvf Cinelerra_rc-NTSC.tar.gz && mv
NTSCCinelerraSettings/Cinelerra_rc .bcast/Cinelerra_rc
They will get also a directory called PALCinelerraSettings or
NTSCCinelerraSettings with a README file that explains the changes I’ve
made.
They are (for PAL):
* Format dialog: "PAL" as default standard
* Format dialog: "YUVA-8 Bit" as default colour model.
* Preferences/Playback window: "Alsa" as default audio driver (with the
"Stop playback locks up" option checked).
* Preferences/Recording window: Import images with a duration of 2
seconds by default.
* Preferences/Interface window: "Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames" as time
format.
* Preferences/Interface window: Set the number of index files to keep to
"1000".
* Load dialog: "Create resources only" as default insertion strategy.
* Program window: "Drag and Drop mode" as default editing mode.
* Program window: duration visible on the timeline so that the ruler
counts by 2 seconds.
* Compositor window: set zoom to "Auto".
* Resources window: Display tabs as text.
* Render dialog: "Insert nothing" as default Insertion strategy.
* Render dialog: "audio stream for DVD" preset profile (wav).
* Render dialog: "video stream for DVD" preset profile (with ffmpeg DVD
pipe, removing the -ilme -ildct -hq options).
* Render dialog: "OGG Theora/Vorbis" as format.
* Render dialog: "Audio" and "Video" both checked.
Due to a temporary bug also:
* Program window: Audio fade range "-40.0 to 6.0"
Those instructions are also on the Cinelerra for Grandma pages at:
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/settings.html
I'm left with the curiosity of knowing *how* Cinelerra builds her
Cinelerra_rc file and consequently if it is so difficult to change the
way she builds it.
Ciao!
