Hello guys,

I´m sure this is not the right thread. But I´m asking here to hopefully get an answer of cinelerra user, that also use Gentoo.

I had no problems with installing cinelerra on an centrino notebook and an amd64 desktop.

But I have a problem getting keyframes to work. For me there are 3 possibilities:
a) I´m doing something wrong
b) It is a bug in in cinelerra
c) It is a bug in the gentoo version

Let´s describe. I want to fade out and in a second audio track (audio 3 and 4) in the tracklist. All cinelerra guides say, you have to use the view menu to enable keyframes (several ones). But in my version I have only one to choose from (plugin keyframes). And when I enable them I can generate keyframes and fade in and out audio-curves. It works for the moment. But when I save the file and the backup, quit and load the file again, there is nothing left of the keyframes.

That makes two questions:
1. Is it correct, only to have the choice of enabling plugin keyframes, nothing else. Or is there something missing in the menu?
2. Why are the generated keyframes with the curves not stored. Maybe I didn´t generate the keyframes the right way? I´m not sure.

Hopefully there is someone who is able and willing to answer my questions.

Thanks in advance

Frank

Hi again,

what about pulling the corrected version after 20051005, renaming it to 20051005 and taking it instead of the buggy one for the emerge. It could work.

Bye

I don't get it. It is said that one should compile x264 with USE="-X", but this ebuild has no such USE flag:

Hi again,

sorry that it took me weeks to understand that I asked the same question (save error, in my case it was fading with keyframes) second time in that thread. :oops:

I had been waiting for a new ebuild many weeks. It seems, that no one is maintaining this one anymore. Or are there other reasons for not bringing a new one in?

@ Plexroth: I would have tried to pull a new version, but I´m not sure if its the right one. I had to pull it with svn from the website. It has a lot more files than the old ones. I didn´ t try your tip yet. But I have to, cause I have to do a video project.

Is it right that it is now svn, or are there other repositories which work with cvs?

Did it work for anyone else?

Please reply. I didn´t try that before. Thanks.

Cinelerra-cvs gives a very low framerate and choppy playback on my computer. Is this normal? I tried compiling the official version but no succes.

Me, buckminster, and lots of other people are complaining about disappearing keyframes in cinelerra-cvs-20051005.

I found that a bug was already posted in which the bug was fixed on 7th October, two days after the cvs snapshot in Portage was taken, but the bug was blindly closed as NEEDINFO with the terse reply "which version are you talking about?".

I've since discovered that only one file was changed two days after the cvs snapshot to fix this. I've bumped this bug with a different proposal: a patch which updates that file to the 7th October version, fixing the bug.

I've tried it, and it does indeed fix the bug!

Hi,

I was very happy to read about the little patch. I tried to fix the problem.

First of all I had a warning, after patch ... finished its work, that it ended up in the middle of the line. Maybe its normal.

I started cinelerra after emerging. I was able to fade in, out and save it. Great, I thought. Then I tried to add audio tracks, to underlay the original dv with music, etc. When I dropped the sound file (mp3 as *.toc) the original video and audio disappeared.

It is an reproducable error.

@gkmac: The patch works, as long as you don´t add other tracks. Is it also an error that you have, or is it a problem that results on an error while patching.

An answer would be great.

Thanks in advance

Frank

Hi gkmac,

ok. With your workaround it seems to work. Maybe I start with my video project this weekend, to try once more.

But the error with vanishing tracks didn´t appear in the old version.

Thanks so far.

Hi,

all that worked, but at the moment I have no more fade curves. I dont know why. Is it me, who is stupid, or are just all errors coming up?

I´m nearly at that point, to change the os for video editing. It should be my new hobby, at the moment I´m producing dv without the ability to edit.
