Cinelerra 4.2

#21 Post by pagestep007 »

Thank you so very much for the help Mike. I have installed the 4.2.pet. All good so far. I will now do some trials over time to see how it reacts.

I am still using Slacko Puppy 5.7 by the way. I tried going to 6.3, but had lots of problems, so went back to 5.7 for now. As I said, stability and something I can rely on is what I crave.

Cinellera is like a lot of programs. Adobe premiere I hated so much that I tried at least three times to get used to it and ditched it, until I forced myself into it due to the industry. Now I still use it I admit.as my mastering program, as I am familiar with it and I drive it like a car. Cinelerra was the only editor that looked like rivaling premiere. Kdenlive is more like the old windows movie maker. Not a lot to go wrong, but it is resource hungry, Openshot is slightly less hungry, but still slows old machines down.
You have to get a mindset with premiere and Cinellera. It takes a while. At first I did not like it , but I know enough about editing now to see potential, and forced myself to use it.. At first there were some glaringly clunky deficiencies with the program but they are being addressed little by little. I am still trying to get my brain around the camera/projector concept, and output video usually needs re encoding with ffconvert multimedia converter to be useful for other applications. format compatibility is something that needs improving. Lets see how 4.2 goes.(output formats look just the same - sad)

Blender is another program that I tried and failed with at least 4 times before forcing myself to stick with it, now it is all I use for special effects. Version 2.76b is the last one that will work on slacko 5.7 unless upgrading openGL. It just unpacks and runs straight from the folder it is unpacked to eg /opt.

After doing some version upgrades I usually remaster a live CD with all my base programs on (Cinellera; Blender 2.76b ; Audacity 1.3 ; gimp8.2 ; Inkscape ; synfigstudio ; frinika for music composition; java, so I can run any java programs, firefox45, which runs from anywhere, and wine, so I can run Virtualdub for denoising and stabalizing) but the last one went over the CD 700mb limit , So I went back to the basic slacko to reinstall all those and clean out junk left over from past messing around and installs. I found that Cinelerra 5.1 is missing loads of dependencies too as well as 2.3-cv , where it works on previous remasters, indicating that I picked up a bunch of libraries through other install/uninstall trails of other programs.

Anyhow, Cinelerra is still not my only or main editing program...but it is getting more and more use, particularly when I am away from home (it is then the only one I use when I am away (- puppies rule ! They run on anything, and my whole setup goes with me on a disk or USB), but it will get more use as I get used to it and as it improves.

Thanks again for your help.

Cinelerra 4.2

#22 Post by pagestep007 »

Oh, Mike. I forgot to answer some comments.

First, I think Puppies are the way to go, even for TV/Cine etc, but for the life of me I can't get anyone interested, even when I give them my whole combo. They hear the word 'linux' and freeze. But, think of the thousands of hours we spent learning windows and windows programs. Its' just the same. You get used to it and develop work flows. Maybe I am too far out front in this area. But, things are going to have to change. When I can get a pentium 4 to keep up with a windows based quad core... you gotta raise an eyebrow.

The community version of Cinellera is at Cinelerra-cv.org. They have all three branches there to chose from, and a well organized site. They try to merge developments, fix bugs and make stable versions from the other two. They also try and make different linux platform install versions. It would be really cool if you or anyone here could visit them and offer to maintain puppy installation versions. ie: up to date .pet versions since you obviously know how to do it. (please, please)

Once again, thanks for the help.

Hi, again.

Yes, I have to agree with ya on that score; Puppies definitely are the way to go. It's the only distro I know of where you can run 'em from a flashdrive without the stick going into melt-down after a few months. You can run the 'buntus from a flashdrive, but they treat it like a hard drive, so they're constantly reading/writing to & from the stick... Wears out the NAND flash cells in double quick time; Pup's model of running in RAM, then writing only at the end of the session makes everything last so much longer..!

And about P4's....ahh, tell me about it. I have an elderly, 15-yr old Dell Inspiron laptop, which originally came with XP.....and a 'Celly', and only 128 MB of RAM. It was dog-slow (sorry, couldn't resist that) even when new.....and time didn't improve matters any..!

If it hadn't been for Puppy, she'd have gone to the great recycling bin in the sky long ago. Now, though; she runs a P4, 2 GB of RAM (yes, they will handle 2 GB, despite popular wisdom nay-saying the fact), and is running a 64GB PATA/IDE interface solid state drive. With those improvements, and triple-booting three Pups (Slacko 570, Xenialpup 7081, and X-Slacko 2.3.2; I like the 'buntu-based Pup's versatility, but I've always loved the sheer stability of Micko's 'classic' 570), she's a match for most Win7 lappies with vastly superior hardware. (The latter is rg66's 'take' on 570 with the XFCE desktop, and I must admit it's my absolute fave Puppy.) But when people ask me what I'm running on it - and I tell them it's Puppy Linux - they look at me as though I'm some sort of weird curiosity. As though I should be humoured.....in case I bite!! :lol: :lol: :roll:

I couldn't care less. We know which side our bread's buttered, don't we??? :)

-------------------------------------------------------

BTW; Thanks for the info on the community edition. As for building 'em.....you could do it yourself. All you need to do is to extract the .pet package I built; study the structure.....and have a look here:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 40457//url

Trio's 'Pet-Maker' is a GUI 'front-end' for 'dir2pet', which is the Puppy Busybox code implementation that allows you to create .pet packages.. I use it all the time. One tip; once the /root/make-pet directory has been created, it's a lot simpler to create the .pet structure yourself, then use Pet-Maker to actually build it. That's the way I use it, anyhow.

I've been attempting to create a .pet or SFS package of 2.3 CV. Doesn't matter which Pup I try it in, you eventually come up against the 'brick wall' of the glibc and libstdc++.so.6 not being new enough. They must have built this thing against the very newest distro they could find.....assuming that everyone automatically runs the newest of everything... Tchah!!

So; I don't quite see how that's gonna happen, I'm afraid. And you say you've lost your .pet of 2.2 CV? Would've been useful to study it... 2.3 certainly does require a lot of libs. Why the hell does it need reference libraries for FireWire? I thought that went out with the Ark..... :roll:

Hi pagestep007, Mike,

FWITW, I somehow obtained the version of cinelerra discussed here: http://cinelerra.org/2015/index.php/201 ... /cinelerra. The 32-bit package will download by clicking Link 1 under Ubuntu. The txz file I obtained has the name "cinelerra-5.0-ubuntu-14.04.1-i686-2015221-static.txz. To deploy it, I just unpacked the txz to a folder on /mnt/home. Under Slacko 5.7, it opens and ldd shows that there are no missing dependencies,.

Emphasis -- this is the supposedly Ubuntu version under Slacko 5.7.

I would guess that any plugins and such-all that can be used by a Slackware version of that vintage would also work under the Ubuntu version. Edit: I also wonder if the different versions of Cinelerra have different plugins, those plugins from the Cinelerras which won't run under Slacko 5.7 could be used in the cinelerra which does.

I've done nothing with the version of cinelerra which appears to be functional, as that would require that I actually learn something.

Cinelerra 4.2

#26 Post by pagestep007 »

Hi again .

Thanks for that mike, and MikesLr. I will give it a go. Yes, each of the three have different plugins and abilities, even though on face falue they look the same in the Gui. On the cinelerra-cv.org site there is a comparison sheet pdf with all the differences between the three. GG5.1 has the most of everything , but is unstable. HV6 is only 64bit.

Anyhow. Today I downloaded an iso from the above site and gave it a run as a live DVD. (it's 1GB) .to see which version suits me best. The live DVD has the three main versions plus two other ones. It's a good Live DVD. I quickly found that GG5.1 is still unstable on my machines. 2.3-CV worked fine. and HV6 so- so. I will therefore look at pursuing the riddle of installing 2.3-cv. into my puppy. ( 2.2-CV is more up to date that the 4.6.pet)

So... the clean reinstall of my combo went well, Cleaned out 200mb of chaff so it fits on a CD again, and then since I had lost the install file from 2.2-CV, I copied the executable program file from the previous system into /bin and opened a terminal, and went through copying all requested files one by one to the new system. Got it all running, remastered onto a CD, and found I had confused versions and installed 4.6 (which ,by the way, is from the HV branch) so I swapped the Cinelerra program file and went through the process again...I think I have the system sussed. Now I will remaster tomorrow.

Mike , do you think that if I was to go back to a puppy only system and go through the copying process, taking note of which files were missing,and making a collection of them, that It would be possible to put a .pet together? I have never done a .pet before.

Thanks for the help and encouragement everyone.

I'm wondering, Mike; which Slacko are you using, exactly? I'm using Micko's original 570. I know there's a Slacko 5.7 floating around; I don't know where I got it from, but I've got the ISO of that, too.

The two are completely different. 5.7 appears to be based on Tahrpup; the layout is very similar, and it's using Tahr's glibc 2.19. Micko's 570 uses 2.15.....

It's not by Micko, I can tell that; this is a remaster somebody's done. It's a very good remaster.....but it ain't the original.

Will do some further testing. Watch this space.


Mike. :wink:

Righty-ho. Results are in...

As expected, it runs fine under Tahr 6.05 (glibc [2.19).


Image


Also under Xenialpup 7081 (glibc 2.23), and Upup Raring (glibc 2.17), too.

It won't run under Precise 571, despite being 'buntu-based; the glibc's too old.....like 570, it's 2.15.

I'll run up a .pet & SFS for this, so it's got a Menu entry'n'stuff. Edit:- This is a much bigger package than 4.2; around the 80 MB mark, in both formats. So the SFS will probably be the way to go for most folks.

Quite a bit newer, too; 4.2 was from 2010. This one was only the year before last.....2015.

-----------------------------------------

@Mikeslr:-

Mike, do me a wee favour, would you? In your 'Slacko 5.7', just do a

Code: Select all

uname -a
...please, and post the output back here? I'm curious; I just want to see if it agrees with my 'Slacko 5.7'; see if we're both 'singing from the same hymn-sheet' on that one..! I've got a feeling I got this from Ally's site; I gave 570 the push a while back, 'cos it was giving me problems (probably self-inflicted; I've tried so much stuff out in all my Pups over the years), but I'd mis-laid the ISO.....and, somehow, forgotten to do back-ups on this particular Pup! Later, I wanted to re-install it, because of its usually fantastic stability, and couldn't locate it on Ibiblio, so had a scout around on archive.org.....and I think that's where I found it.

Cheers.


The other Mike. :wink:

Hi Mike,

Regarding the "Slacko 5.7" I'm using, uname -a reports:

Linux puppypc30681 3.4.94 #1 SMP Sun Jun 22 12:59:42 EST 2014 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

which didn't mean anything to me. However, trying to figure out why our results differ, I examined what I installed [PPM, select uninstall --see what's there, close PPM before I do something stupid :lol: ] e.g, glib-upgrade -- nothing suspicious. Except that I kind-of remembered populating Seamonkey portable with Seamonkey 2.46, which made me wonder whether my slacko was one of the Puppies on which I performed 'a brain transplant' -- kernel upgrade. So, I ran Pupsysinfo. It reported:

Linux Kernel: 3.4.94 (i686)
Kernel Version: #1 SMP Sun Jun 22 12:59:42 EST 2014

Distro: Slacko Puppy 5.9.3

Which enabled me to recognize the 3.4.94 #1 SMP referenced by uname -a,

Nice. So now I don't have to run Pupsysinfo to discover the kernel. All I have to do is remember uname -a. Small chance of that happening. :(

Edit: It seems I'm using this version: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 892#783892

By the way, what's the command to find out what glibc version is installed? Nevermind. Found the command: ldd --version. According to which, it's employing 2.17.

The above confusion aside, if pagestep007's computer can handle a more recent kernel and the glibs that enables, perhaps a kernel upgrade that would be one way to upgrade his slacko 5.7.

Cinelerra 4.2

#31 Post by pagestep007 »

Hi guys. Thanks for all the work. Mike, the 5.0 pet installed fine on my Slacko 5.7 puppy. It would seem it is from the HV branch. Pretty good. The background preview rendering crashes a duo core comp. The 2.2cv crashes the same comp with 4k video, so it could be the comp just doesn't have what it takes :).

I have a slacko 5.7.0 puppy CD which was the one that I first tried when I found puppy linux. That is the one I did my clean install with just now.
I uploaded an iso of the one I remastered today, if you are interested in looking at it. (It is my 10th cd remaster.) It is at https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnhQ9j3tej9diintXRXaTwG_HWBC .

It has Cinelerra 2.2cv on it, blender, etc as stated in my earlier post.

Very interesting.
As far as I know Cinelerra-CV does not support 4K video resolution,
1920x1088 is the maximum.
I could offer Cinelerra-CV 2.3 for Slacko 6.3.0.
If you are interested in please let me know.

Cinelerra 4.2

#34 Post by pagestep007 »

Thanks Norgo,
In a way you are right about the 4K in 2.2cv. There is no preset, but you can manually input the output dimensions and still do it. I did a clip yesterday in 4096x2160. The duo core I am using to test it would not background preview render and would crash it. So one great and easy thing you can do is proxy render. 2.2cv will recognize the mp4 container with an h264 codec, but will not recognize the aac audio from my 4k cell phone. So I just used the FFconvert multimedia converter on the puppy to extract the audio and render it to an mp3 which 2.2cv will recognize. This for me is no issue as we usually record audio separate from the camera anyway and usually replace the camera audio in the editing anyhow. 2.2cv would handle SD footage with BG preview rendering ( and also HD footage), So I proxied the footage and edited the project.
Two output formats that worked were ogg vorbis-theorbis and .mov for linux with an mp4 codec, (still experimenting with audio output) (The GG and HV Branches have better output options.) However, the ogg vorbis would not re-import into 2.2cv cleanly, It could not find keyframes even though they were stipulated in the output settings. The .mov with mp4 codec re-imported fine, with audio and video, into 2.2cv and uploaded to youtube with no apparent problems. There may be other combinations that may work, but all other attempts froze on the 19th frame of the renders on this computer, which may be a resource lack in the comp I am using. So at some stage I will try it on some more powerful comps to confirm that. If it is a resource lack, then more output combinations may be possible.
( hope you are familiar with proxy editing.. if not, you make a low resolution copy of all your material in a separate folder, from the high res project, with same names as the originals. Use the low res to edit, save the project to the low res folder, then when you are ready to do the final render, copy the project file from your low res folder to your hi res folder, open that copy, and the program will use the hi res material. Change the project and the track sizes, and render)

I noticed on trialing my recent remaster that pplog was not configured to find the Firefox browser, so I fixed that and re-uploaded an iso to:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnhQ9j3tej9diirDFBG5PaQ0xQcU

The remaster has 2.2cv Cinelerra, because I am interested in having the most stable version as my starting point, but I would be grateful if you could make the 2.3cv available, I have a slacko 6.3 also, so I would like to include it in that system. I will also be using and testing the HV5.0 that Mike made available as .pet and sfs, and put it through its paces. I will also keep testing the Cinelerra Live DVD, to compare versions.

Pelo, I think that the GG5.1 I came across and installed, was as you said, an ubuntu package and I just unpacked to the /opt folder and it worked. I have not gotten back to getting that one going (what with three branches and various versions of each branch , tailored to different operating systems...it gets a little confusing.) But I will continue to put all these through some real work to see how they fare.

Thanks again everyone for your help and encouragement.

Hello @pagestep007

unfortunately I'm not familiar with the topic proxy editing but it sounds really interesting.
I'm very curious about your compare results between the different Cinelerra versions.

As promised here Cinelerra-CV 2.3 for Slacko 6.3.0
CinelerraCV-2.3-i686.sfs ( 23.364 k , md5sum = 02887253afd738f27065d75c64c15192 )

HI All,
Thanks Norgo. I was able to install the sfs on a puppy slacko 5.7.. (I assume it will also be ok for the 6.3) In the 'about' tab in the preferences, it looks like it is a 2.2cv version.(not quite the 2.3cv .) but that's ok. Thanks.

I have uploaded, to my onedrive, a copy of the ubuntu package of the GG5.1 branch for anyone who wants it.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnhQ9j3tej9diisweXkiu5qmFhsB

You just unpack it to somewhere like /opt and click on the cin file therewithin. . (drag it to the desktop and assign an icon if you want the shortcut on your desktop.)

The other way around, application has been compiled in Slacko 6.3.0 and should work there without problems.
Cinelerra has really a lot of dependencies and that's why you could get problems under usage of Slacko 5.7.0.
Symbolic links to other versions of libs are crap and not advisable.

Are you sure that this version is really working in Slacko 5.7.0 ? ;-)

Hi, Phil.

Thanks for the GG5.1 version.

I've done some more packaging, and a .pet & SFS of Cinelerra 5.1 are now available from the Cinelerra folder at my MediaFire a/c.

Please note:-

Due to the need for >= glibc 2.22, this version will only run in Xenialpup7081 (2.23); Tahr's is 2.19, and Upup Raring's is only 2.17. As the versions become more recent, the requirements appear to be getting higher.....

C'est la vie.

Enjoy.


Mike. :wink:

Hi everyone.
Quite right Norgo...An entry into the menu was made when installing the sfs 2.3cv , but due to dependencies missing, it just defaulted to the 2.2cv already installed on the slacko 5.7 system.
Similarly Mike, the same with the .pet and sfs you did. However, I still have what looks like a working copy of 2.2cv and the Ubuntu GG5.1 looks like it is working. The buggy preview background render I found out today, is a known bug with GG5.1. There is supposedly a workaround, but I will have to hunt that down.

Now I need to hunt down why Gimp2.8 is not recognizing python plugins... maybe over to another thread for that one?

Hi to all interested in Cinelerra.
I just thought I would give an update after trialing CV2.2 and GG5.1. in real life work situations, for a while now.

But first: Thanks Mike for the .pet and sfs of the GG5.1 version. The sfs installed fine on my slacko 5.7 puppy. However the .pet did not have a menu entry so I could not find it. How you manage to repackage things has me mystified. I take off my hat to you.

I find that yes, the community version CV2.2 is good and stable and works on older machines, but I found lack of file compatability and some lack in features in CV2.2 made GG5.1 the winner. GG5.1 will import mp4 vids generated from other programs like Adobe Premiere, and my Samsung cell phone (which does 4K video) with audio from the same file, That's a relief not having to encode the audio separately, out of the original file to be able to use it. GG5.1 uses ffmpeg for export so I am able to export to usable file formats. When exporting an mp4 Youtube will encode, but does indicate that the audio codec is not the best for them. The FFmpeg uses a h265 audio , but does not give me other alternatives. However, I have managed to edit 4k,on as low as a dual core computer, and upload to youtube. and also subtitle (which is a really easy process- way better than Adobe Premier) and encode for a local satellite distribution TV channel.
I am hoping they fix the preview bug in GG5.1, I have not put any serious testing into HV6.0 as it is 64bit only.

So, yes, there is still work to be done on the program, but it is capable of use in the 'real' world of Television, for those adventurous and patient enough to give it a go, ...hoping it will continue to improve.
