[opensuse] CINELERRA for 12.2 x86_64
Are there any Cinelerra users reading this list or can you answer these vexing questions for me, please? In YaST the latest installable version of Cinelerra is 2.2CV - and I have it installed. However, on the heroinewarrior.com site I see that there is version 4.4 released. My questions thererefore are: 1. Has anyone compiled this 4.4 version for oS 12.2 AMD64 from source tar.xz - and perhaps the rpm is available in one of those private repos on opensuse.org? 2. I have downloaded the source code for 4.4 but wonder if it is safe to simply use the instructions given in the tar file to compile it (ie, just run '/.cinlelerra'? Thanks for any feedback.

Basil, You could get it from PackMan Repositories (1-Click Install or Manual install) Check the link for versions available http://packman.links2linux.org/package/cinelerra Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama Linux & FOSS Ambassador openSUSE Projects -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for your response, Ricardo. I was there (packman) a couple of days ago and before posting my questions here. To begin with, the version on packman is 2.2 and the one I am asking about is 4.4. The other thing, when I tried the "1-click install" the other day I got an error message stating that there were no instructions on how to install Cinelerra on my 12.2 system.

There are 2 versions, original at http://heroinewarrior.com and community version CinelerraCV http://cinelerra.org/ more at http://cinelerra.org/about.php .
My questions therefore are:
1. Has anyone compiled this 4.4 version for oS 12.2 AMD64 from source tar.xz - and perhaps the rpm is available in one of those private repos on opensuse.org?
Search will not give you option to look home repos. It did before, but today search for Cinelerra did not list any home repos. Not many need that kind of software and as you can see from CinelerraCV they are trying to produce version that will work with modern libraries. The original uses its own versions.
2. I have downloaded the source code for 4.4 but wonder if it is safe to simply use the instructions given in the tar file to compile it (ie, just run '/.cinlelerra'?
The tar.xz is for Ubuntu, so it probably needs adjustment. First is to run ./configure to prepare local compilation. And, the first message is: *** Yasm is required. Giving up and going to a movie. Good. :) # zypper in yasm gcc-c++ zlib-devel Configure script is buggy, or I missed some message, or gcc in 12.2 is too strict. During compilation it will complain about missing png.h, which is in either libpng12 or libng14. I installed libpng14-devel, and it passed that point, but later gave a bunch of errors about uninitialized variables, strange castings, and then fail on make missing ogg target. Taking number and type of errors, there is small chance it will run even if it would finish compilation. In other words it will not compile with openSUSE without someone with serious time on hands, and skills to fix the code. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I am not sure about Cinelerra "1-click install" issues on openSUSE 12.2. It may be packman mirror temporary disruption issue or not. It's possible to switch to another mirror to make it available? If you already have PackMan repo added you could install it using YaST or "zypper in cinelerra". Rajko mentioned and added two url making the differences between both versions (Community Version 2.2 and Heroine Virtual version 4.4). As far as I know CV has several features not present on Heroine Virtual 4.4. And time to time the CV is merged on Heroine Virtual version. Heroine Virtual version is only tested on Ubuntu and other distros need to compile from source with no tested or possible unstability. Hope this can help you to make the proper actions.

Yes, I know. But seeing a version number 4.4 as against 2.2 automatically attracted my attention :-) . Also it appeared to me that 4.4 was more commercially oriented than the Community version.
My questions therefore are:
1. Has anyone compiled this 4.4 version for oS 12.2 AMD64 from source tar.xz - and perhaps the rpm is available in one of those private repos on opensuse.org? Search will not give you option to look home repos. It did before, but today search for Cinelerra did not list any home repos.

I take the view that if you want the best results then you use the best program to achieve that result, and Cinelerra is most powerful. Mind you, you need a licence to drive it but it is well worth the effort to learn how to use it even if it is for doing a simple task as creating a DVD from the TV programs I capture on my dvb card. I downloaded the manual about a week or so ago but being in a hurry to do some editing didn't bother to read it but after spending a few frustrating days I decided (yesterday) to start finding out how to do things by reading the darn thing :-) . I can now see some light at the end of the tunnel. I really should have started reading the manual when I downloaded it because at the beginning it gives a big list of tutorials on how to use Cinelerra. One of the annoying things about them though is that they are skewered towards systems which use Never The Same Colour (NTSC) and not PAL which Europe has (and so do we). The other is that the manual/tutorials are out of date and not uptodate with the latest changes in the s/ware.
2. I have downloaded the source code for 4.4 but wonder if it is safe to simply use the instructions given in the tar file to compile it (ie, just run '/.cinlelerra'? The tar.xz is for Ubuntu, so it probably needs adjustment.
First is to run ./configure to prepare local compilation.
[.................] Thanks for trying to compile 4.4 but I decided to stay with 2.2 and now won't bother with 4.4 :-) . The CV is more stable than the heroinewarrior version I discovered after doing a bit of reading. And in any case I don't have the expertise to do any fiddling with the config files to iron-out any 'bugs' in order to make a successful compilation.

After I responded to you my daily updating of system using zypper updated Cinelerra to the latest update which was released that day and so all is well :-) .

As you would have read in what I wrote to Rajko I have abandoned the idea of using 4.4 because 2.2 (the CV) is more stable than the heroinewarrrior version. And there is a lot to learn and digest re 2.2 without having to get tangled up in trying to compile 4.4 :-) .

Just set and forget the default in your preferences.

There are excellent tutorials available on YouTube. With respect to key / core tools and concepts or procedures, anything produced within the past couple of years will suffice. I found those produced by YouTube users 'vaasnaad', 'dmonteit1' and 'cybridproductions' particularly helpful. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for your reply, Carl. While the Settings themselves remain stable, the Format has to be set each time you start Cinelerra :-( - a pain in a way.

I went thru the list of all the tutorials on Cinelerra on YouTube and captured 2 main ones - one of them being the one by vaasnaad you mention. The problem with them is that either I missed one or have still to come across it but I cannot see any one which takes a project from beginning to end, step by step. But this is now getting off topic re the main reason for this list so I will send you a private message about a problem over which I am pulling my hair out with the hope that you may have already solved it as it seems that you have had some experience with Cinelerra.
