Nice new plugin; thank you. GG is a great coder. If I understand correctly it is like the normal mask tool but that traces the contours as the "magic wand" of GIMP. So we're talking selection masks, not "matte"; right? It's not very clear to me how the "Scale" works. I have to request some

Hi Sam and all. I think I found a typo in this page: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/get-involved/ with "listis" instead of "lists". Another thing for you @Sam if you can give it a look is, while I've already translated "Handbrake in the new version 1.2.0 changes to FFmpeg", it still appears

I think vdpau seems to be the right setting. I also have an Intel processor and an Nvidia graphics card. With vdpau I get the best results. The CPU is hardly used, but the FPS is almost always at maximum. Especially when I switch to X11-OpenGL, I only have 12% CPU load left. Subjectively I

Hi Phylis, I would like to test your procedure with the video card (Nvidia GTX-750Ti) on my computer (equipped with an Intel i7 3770k CPU), but I don't really understand the indications. If I follow you well First - Install "libva-dev" (since the CPU of my computer is made by Intel).

Thanks for the clarification, Sam. A message from Phyllis tells me to wait for a new version for Mint-18.3 that will be ready later today. I guess the indications will then be a little more precise, namely whether the different procedures should be done according to the CPU
