Cinelerra

Floft · 2009-11-25 06:02:03

When I start up Cinelerra (the pacman -S cinelerra-cv one) and open a project or add a file other than a dv file (like mov or jpeg) it crashes and shows this in the terminal.

I have tried compiling the one from "git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git my_cinelerra" and used "./configure --disable-mmx" and then compiled it, but when trying to install it I got

Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Then, like it said "recompile with -fPIC" I tried recompiling x264 with "--enable-pic --enable-shared" and it gives me

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libx264.so.79] Error 1

And I am now completely lost... Does anybody know how to fix this? It once again says "recompile with -fPIC" but I thought I just did that.

I found this elsewhere on the web; over my head but maybe it helps.

Okay, I think I'll just skip trying to compile and install it. Cinelerra works fine as long as I don't open certian types of files.

I did however get x264 to install using that link you gave, so thank you, but then I had more problems with ffmpeg needing one version of x264 and cinelerra another, and I don't know how to have two different versions or how to make ffmpeg use the newer one.

FFmpeg from the repos is incompatible with the current x264 API (so.79). This is fixed in FFmpeg's subversion tree. Building FFmpeg from subversion will fix that part, but will possibly break other things.

Having similar problem as of Floft (the original poster) even after almost 9 months. Any solution to overcome the problem of crashing of cinelerra? Thanks!

Floft · 2010-07-06 19:28:39

I haven't really found a good fix yet. I just tried opening a non-mpeg file and it crashed again. "If the file is unsupported, it usually crashes or shows very short tracks." (docs) That is definately true...

My Way
For me mp3, wav, png, and jpeg files normally open fine for me, so I try to use those. Then for the video files I just convert everything to an mpeg file (such as: ffmpeg -i input.avi -sameq output.mpeg). This is mentioned in the documentation: http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_ … html#SEC93. Unfortunately, this has resulted in problems with video quality. Also, for some reason, Cinelerra would crash if the first frame of a video was a solid black frame. Thus, I would remove a few of the beginning frames until the first frame wasn't solid black, and it would then open the file fine.

Better, Slower Way
There is one way that I can think of that will be higher quality than converting everything to mpeg. You can get the audio from the video clip (ffmpeg -i video.avi -sameq audio.wav) and save all the frames from the movie to png files (ffmpeg -i video.avi -sameq frame_%05d.png) and then create a list file (below for the format). You can import both of them into Cinelerra without any problem. Nice[r] quality, but very, very slow.

PNGLIST
24 #frame rate
1280 #width
720 #height
/path/to/frame_00001.png
/path/to/frame_00002.png
...

So, I can get by with this method of converting everything to mpeg or converting to frames, but it either lowers the quality or takes forever. Hopefully Lumiera will fix all these problems when it comes out.

If it helps at all, FFmpeg's -sameq switch is for mpeg2 video to mpeg2 video. It's useful for completely replacing the timestamps of either badly encoded mpeg2 video streams with their corresponding audio streams, or replacing the audio stream. The -sameq switch when not using mpeg2 video for input will select the default, which is always pretty low quality.

Are you sure on that skottish? I always use -sameq for converting between formats (I'm too lazy to do the calculations myself) and its definitely NOT using the defaults which would be used if I had not used -sameq. The video files are much bigger and very obviously clearer.

From the man-page:-

man ffmpeg wrote:

-sameq
use same video quality as source (implies VBR)

Nothing there about being only for like-to-like conversion.

Not anymore I seem to remember coming across that tidbit on one of the FFmpeg mailing lists after sameq failed repeatedly for me. That was years ago. Admittedly, I'm getting way out of touch with general FFmpeg usage since I've discovered a few techniques of producing high quality videos. My needs of late are mostly limited to my own artwork or converting sound to lossless.

Sorry that I forgot to mention a workaround with cinelerra 4.1 instead as posted here:
