\section{Thirdparty Parallel Build}
\label{sec:thirdparty_parallel_build}
+\index{build!thirdparty}
The Makefile in the thirdparty build directory employs a set of macros used to create a build rule set of thirdparty library build dependencies. The standard build sequence of [source, config, build] is used to prepare thirdparty products as static libraries. Build package dependency can be specified in the Makefile std-build macro call. These Makefile macro calls define the rules used for each thirdparty build. The expanded rule definitions may be viewed by using:

\label{sec:find_lock_problems_booby_trap}
+\index{build!booby trap}
A Booby Trap is used in \CGG{} for setting a trap to catch lock problems that might have been missed. It will trap boobies only if compile by adding \textit{-{}-with-booby} on the configuration command line. This is the default if you compile using \texttt{./bld.sh} from the GIT repository. It should not interfere with normal execution.
\section{Valgrind Support Level}
\label{sec:valgrind_support_level}
+\index{build!valgrind}
Valgrind is a memory mis-management detector. It shows you memory leaks, deallocation errors, mismanaged threads, rogue reads/writes, etc. \CGG{} memory management is designed to work with Valgrind detection methods. This assists in developing reliable code. Use of Valgrind points out problems so that they can be fixed. For example, when this version of \CGG{} shuts down, it deallocates memory instead of just stopping, thus making memory leak detection possible.
\section{Prof2 -- A Profiler}

\section{Copy/Paste and Highlight Usage}%
\label{sec:copy_paste_highlight_usage}
+\index{copy/paste}
There are 3 types of copy/cut and paste methods which exist in X windows, and most modern programs use 2 of them. The 3 cases are:
\subsection{Playing/Seeking}%
\label{sub:playing_seeking}
+\index{seek!playing}
\textit{Seeking} targets and displays the next frame. The next frame is targeted because frame zero has no previous. When you seek, you reposition to just before the target frame, and since the play direction has not been established (there is no direction when seeking) it shows you the next frame. This produces the expected behavior when you seek to frame zero; you see the first frame. Seeking displays in the compositor what you are getting ready to work with/edit/etc; always showing the next frame in relation to the cursor. Technically, since seeking just resets the position, it would be correct not to update the compositor, but it is best to seek and show the next frame to confirm that it is the frame you expected to see.
\subsection{Always Show Next Frame}%
\label{sub:always_show_next_frame}
+\index{always show next frame}
Since some users prefer the insertion pointer to reflect the same as the Compositor a choice is available. For playing forward, there is a preference option which results in what looks like 1 was added to the frame displayed in the Compositor window. To enable this mode, check the box \texttt{Always show next frame}, and this will be saved to \texttt{.bcast5}. The option checkbox is in the \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences $\rightarrow$ Appearance} tab and when checked, any forward \textit{plays} in the Compositor window show the same frame as you would with a seek. Reverse plays and plays using a selection or In/Out pointers (with Ctrl) work the same as without this preference set. But you will no longer see the odd behavior where if you frame advance forward and then frame advance backward, the displayed frame does not change -- instead it will change and look more natural.
A color indicator that shows in the main track canvas timeline and the compositor timeline reminds the user which mode is currently active. The cursor in the compositor turns \textit{red} for default mode and \textit{white} for \textit{Always show next frame} mode. The top portion of the insertion cursor in the track canvas mirrors this, with red for default and white otherwise.
\subsection{Seeking Issues}%
\label{sub:seeking_issue}
+\index{seek!issue}
If you have an issue playing a video and not seeing it in the Compositor (just see a black screen), it is most likely due to the media not being designed to be \textit{editable}. It is most likely not damaged. Generally it just does not have keyframes which are needed for seeking which is what is done when you move around the media and start playing in the middle. The media plays just fine in the compositor if you always play from the beginning because then you don’t need keyframes to seek. You can get around this problem if you proxy the media. A good choice to use for the proxy would be \textit{use scalar}, \textit{ffmpeg/mp4} and size of $\frac{1}{2}$. The proxied media can then seek and you will see it play in the compositor because keyframes exist.
\section{Color Space and Color Range Affecting Playback}%
\label{sec:color_space_range_playback}
+\index{color!space}
+\index{color!range}
Playback \textit{single step} and \textit{plugins} cause the render to be in the session color model, while continuous playback with no plugins tries to use the file’s best color model for the display (for speed).
This can create a visible effect of a switch in color in the Compositor, usually shown as grayish versus over-bright.
\section{Automatic "Best Model" Media Load}%
\label{sec:conform_the_project}
+\index{color!model}
When you load media with the insertion strategy of \textit{replace current project}, the program code will
automatically use the "best model" for the render based on the media's codec. The best model is pretty
much going to be what works well for television. This automation was added to facilitate easy use of
\section{Textbox Non-std Character / Unicode Insertion}%
\label{sec:textbox_non_std_character_unicode}
+\index{unicode insertion}
If you want to enter a special character -- like a bullet, an accent grave character, or a mathematical summation symbol -- you can use the unicode equivalent in a textbox to do so. In the textbox, keyin Ctrl-Shift-U which puts you into single character unicode mode, then keyin the numerical value for the intended single character followed by the carriage return. For a voluminous list of possible special characters, you can go to {\small \url{https://unicode-table.com/en/}} on the internet to choose by highlighting a character to get its numerical equivalence. For example, $U+2022$ is a bullet. If you make a mistake, you can use the \textit{backspace} key or if you want to exit unicode-insert-mode, use the \textit{ESC} key. This feature is especially useful with the \textit{Title} plugin and for naming Tracks in the main window.
\section{Hardware video acceleration}%
\label{sec:hardware_video_acceleration}
+\index{hardware!acceleration}
With certain newer, more powerful graphics boards and newer device drivers, there is the potential for enhanced \textit{decode} and \textit{encode} performance. Decode refers to loading and playing video in \CGG{}. The GPU, Graphics Processing Unit, on the graphics board is accessed via one of the following libraries: vdpau or vaapi. The hardware acceleration done by the graphics card increases performance by activating certain functions in connection with a few of the FFmpeg decoders. This use makes it possible for the graphics card to decode video, thus offloading the CPU. Decode operations are described here next.
Encode refers to rendering video and is described at the end of this section
\subsection{GPU hardware decoding}%
\label{sub:gpu_hardware_decoding}
+\index{hardware!decoding}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Verify that you have installed \textit{libva-dev} or \textit{libva} on your operating system.
\subsubsection*{Special .opts file}%
\label{ssub:special_opts_file}
+\index{hardware!special opts files}
The situation may arise where you have enabled hardware acceleration and after loading several files for a project, you find that a file had some kind of error resulting in a black video instead of an image or you see an error message pop up which states something like \textit{Error retrieving data from GPU to CPU} or \textit{err: Unknown error occurred}. Because the \texttt{CIN\_HW\_DEV} environment variable is either all or none, ordinarily in order to correct the non-working video you would have to turn off hardware acceleration for the entire project/session. However, there is a way to continue working on your project without having to reload all of your files. You still use the environment variable and it will be effective for all of the formats it is able to handle, but you make an exception for any of the files that erred out. To do this you simply create a file in the same directory with the same name as the erring file with the different extension of .opts. The contents of this .opts file would just be the one line of:

+\index{hardware!encoding}

included in \CGG{} but it is of limited availability and works only
\subsubsection*{Broadcom, Intel HD, AMD}%
\label{ssub:broadcom_intel_amd}
+\index{hardware!vaapi}
To use hardware acceleration for rendering (that is, encoding) you do not have to set a preference or an environment variable, as was required for decoding. To use this feature you use an ffmpeg render options file which specifies a vaapi codec, such as h264\_vaapi. You must include this line in that options file to trigger the hardware probe: \qquad \texttt{CIN\_HW\_DEV=vaapi}
\subsubsection*{Nvidia graphics boards}%
\label{ssub:nvidia_graphics_card}
+\index{hardware!nvenc}
To use hardware acceleration for rendering (that is, encoding) you do not have to set a preference or an environment variable, as was required for decoding. To use this feature you use an ffmpeg render options file which specifies the nvenc codec, either \texttt{h264\_nvenc.mp4} or \texttt{nvenc.mp4}. There are several requirements in order for this to work on your computer as listed here:
\subsection{Effects (OpenCL, Cuda)}%
\label{sub:effects_opencl_cuda}
+\index{openCL}
+\index{CUDA}
CUDA® is a parallel computing platform / programming model developed by Nvidia that provides big increases in computing performance through use of the GPU. It was first introduced in about 2006 for applications in computationally intense fields such as astronomy, biology, chemistry, and physics.
\section{Optimized Playback -- X11 Direct}%
\label{sec:optimized_playback}
+\index{playback -X11 direct}
Normally, when \CGG{} reads a video frame, it is copied into a \textit{Vframe}. This frame may also need other actions performed on it, such as a color model change. In addition, ffmpeg and libzmpeg \textit{can\_scale\_input}. So the read can be color transformed and scaled just by asking the library to do that. This means that if the compositor is in a \textit{good} state with no zoom, the VFrame read can be done in the fastest render color model, and already scaled to the correct size for the compositor. In reality, this is not what you need for editing, but quite often the \textit{virtualconsole} is not used because the render is media only -- that is \textit{just data}. If no data transforms are needed and the input scaling can be done, the vrender program detects this, and tells the codec to transmit the data in a compatible way to the compositor canvas. This is the \textit{X11 direct} data path.
\section{Some Settings Parameter Values}%
\label{sec:settings_parameter_values}
+\index{cache}
\texttt{Cache} in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences, Performance} tab is used to store images on the timeline. One 1080p frame uses about 10 MB. The default setting is 256 and this is enough for testing and running. However, why not use more memory if it is available. To experiment for testing a good number tuned to the way you use your computer, set the cache to 0, start up \CGG{}, load a typical media file, play it and run \texttt{top} on the command line in another window to see how much memory is being used. In the \textit{top} display, look at \textit{free} memory. Whatever your computer is not using, is a good number to use for cache. If you start other programs, or change the design of the session so that it uses a lot of frame storage, you may need to experiment again later and resize accordingly.

+\index{crash handling tips}
This section is a handy guide for describing various kinds of software computer system failures. Only some of these various lockups or crashes can be dealt with. Hopefully, it will help to have some hints to know what kind of failure it is, or to save your work or to avoid future problems.

\subsection{Camera supplied LUTs}%
\label{sub:camera_supplied_luts}
+\index{LUT}
A LUT, acronym for Look-Up Table, is a mathematically precise way of taking specific RGB image values from a source image and modifying them to new RGB values by changing the hue, saturation and brightness values of that source image. In other words, LUTs are used to map one color space to another. Some high-end cameras supply a .cube file to use as input. There are several different ffmpeg plugins included with CinGG for using Lut's. These are:
\subsection{Encoding into Dolby Pro Logic}%
\label{sub:encoding_dolby_pro_logic}
+\index{dolby pro logic}
Dolby pro logic is an easy way to output 6 channel audio from a 2-channel soundcard with degraded but useful results. Rudimentary Dolby pro logic encoding can be achieved with usage of some effects.
\subsection{Remove Interlacing}%
\label{sub:remove_interlacing}
+\index{interlacing}
Interlacing often exists on older video sources, such as camcorders, and was previously used in broadcast television. Playing this video results in jagged images on a computer monitor, but with \CGG{} you can use deinterlacing effects to solve this. After some experimentation, it has been determined that the FFmpeg \textit{F\_kerndeint} plugin seems to produce the best results with the least amount of fiddling. But some of the parameters described next are pertinent to other potential plugin usage.
\subsection{Time stretching audio}%
\label{sub:time_stretching_audio}
+\index{audio!time stretching}
It may appear that time stretching audio is a matter of selecting a region of the audio tracks, enabling recording for the desired tracks, going to\texttt{ Audio $\rightarrow$ Render Effect}, and applying \textit{TimeStretch}. In actuality there are 3 audio effects for time stretching: Time Stretch, Resample, and Asset info dialog.
