\section{How to Use Plugins}%
\label{sec:how_use_plugins}
-\textit{Realtime} effect plugins are listed in the Resources window as \textit{Audio} Effects and \textit{Video} Effects. Effect plugins are used by dragging them from the Resources window onto an audio track if it is an audio effect or video track if it is a video effect. You will see a colored bar \index{plugins!toolbar} appear beneath the track with the plugin name on it. If there is data on the destination track, the effect is applied to the entire track, unless a edit or a region of the track is selected in which case the effect is pasted into that region only. If there is no data on the track the effect is not added.

If there is no data on the track or no selected region set, the effect is not added.
+
+Plugins are layered under the track they apply to. When dragging more than one effect onto a track, you will see the effects layering from \textit{top to bottom}, on the bottom of that track. When the track is played back, effects are processed from \textit{top to bottom}. The output of the top effect becomes the input of the bottom effect and so on. "The pipeline in Cinelerra's\protect\footnote{credit to Original Creator} plugin design is the \textit{pull} method. The rendering pipeline starts at the final output and the final steps in the rendering pipeline are reading the data from disk. Every step in the rendering chain involves requesting data from the previous step. When the rendering pipeline eventually requests data from a plugin chain, each plugin requests data from the plugin before it. This is less intuitive than the push method but is much more powerful. Realtime plugins written using the pull method can change the rate data is presented to the viewer and the direction of playback. The pull method allows plugins to take in data at a higher rate than they send it out." Side note: if you want to avoid the automatic \textit{top to bottom} application of
+plugins, you can take advantage of \textit{nested assets} to manipulate the order the plugins are applied (see
+ \ref{sec:nesting_clips_and_assets}).

When the track is played back, effects are processed from \textit{top to bottom}. The output of the top effect becomes the input of the bottom effect and so on.
Instead of dragging from the Resources window, effects may be applied to a track via a popup menu. Right click on a track and select \textit{Attach effect} \index{plugins!attch effect} from the popup. The attach effect dialog gives you more capability than just dragging and dropping. For example, the attach effect dialog lets you attach two more types of effects: \textit{shared effects} and \textit{shared tracks} which are explained in a later section. Select a plugin from the Plugins column and hit the green colored checkmark under the plugins column to attach it. The result is the same as if the effect was dragged from the Resources window.
+
+One more method to apply an effect is to use the Video or Audio pulldown \textit{Attach Effect} option. This brings up a menu which has a useful checkbox to \textit{Attach single standalone and share others} (see \ref{sec:shared_effect_tracks}). The default setting is checked on.
After attaching an effect to a track, it often needs to be configured. There are two ways to get to the configuration controls. Click on the magnifying glass \index{plugins!show controls} symbol on the right side of the effect bar -- this is the middle symbol on the bar as you can see in the picture below. Alternatively, you can right click on the effect bar to bring up the effect popup which has a \textit{Show} option. Either method causes the GUI for the effect to appear in a separate window. There will not be a popup if the plugin has no GUI.

+
+In \textit{Drag and Drop} mode we can copy and paste edits containing plugins (see also \nameref{sub:copy_paste_behavior}). Start by selecting an edit (that contains plugins) with LMB and open the context menu with MMB. The possibilities offered are:
+
+\begin{description}
+ \item[Ctrl - c]: copy edits and plugins to buffer.
+ \item[Ctrl - v]: paste edits and plugins into the timeline (splice) at the Insertion point.
+ \item[Ctrl - b]: paste edits and plugins into the timeline (overwrite) at the Insertion point.
+ \item[Ctrl - Shift - p]: paste only the plugins into the timeline, at the Insertion point, keeping the original length (overwrite).
+ \item[Collect Effects]: copy only plugins into buffer.
+ \item[Paste Effects]: pastes the plugins into a selected target edit. The length of the plugins adapts to the length of the edit.

+\textit{Context Help} provides more detailed information about the plugin in 4 possible
+ways using the Alt/h hotkey combination.
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Pressing \texttt{Alt/h} with the mouse in the dialog window of that plugin's settings menu.
+ \item Pressing \texttt{Alt/h} while pointing with the mouse on the plugin bar in a track, transition bar, or transition icon.
+ \item Pressing \texttt{Alt/h} while pointing on the plugin name (icon) in the Resources window. If plugin tooltips are on, help for the highlighted plugin under the mouse is shown. If plugin tooltips are off, help for the selected plugin is shown.
+ \item Pressing \texttt{Alt/h} while pointing on the plugin name in the \textit{Attach Effect} dialog menu.

-Noise removal from audio using FFT editing. Set the Denoise Power dial in dB and choose the number of reference samples.
+Audio sampling (time data) is converted to a frequency spectrum using FFT (\textit{Fast Fourier Transform}). Since the \textit{reference} contains only the background noise while the rest of the clip contains noise + audio to clean up, you get separate frequencies so you can subtract them to get the clean audio only. Set the Denoise Power dial in dB and choose the number of reference samples.
+
+For example, if you record a voice with a microphone\protect\footnote{credit fary54}:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item You record 15 seconds of background (without talking). This is represent the background noise that the filter uses as a reference.
+ \item After 15 seconds, start the voice. This is represents the recording whose filter should remove the background noise.
+ \item You stop recording.
+ \item You place the FFT effect on the whole length of the recording (including the 15 seconds of background noise).
+ \item Then place your cursor at the beginning of the 15 seconds. Enter the number of samples in the effect presets, e.g. 65536.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+This has the effect of creating a keyframe that marks the beginning of the reference range, mentioned in point 1, which in our example ends at 65536 samples later.
+
+During playback, the background noise is then automatically removed along the entire length of the effect.

-LV2 is an open standard for audio plugins using a simple interface with extensions which add functionality to support audio software. These plugins were written by external developers and provide additional audio effects to \CGG{} audio without having to change \CGG{} every time. Because the LV2 plugins are separate from \CGG{} Infinity, if one fails or does not perform as expected, \CGG{} should stay running and you will have to contact the programmers responsible for that plugin for a fix.

Because the LV2 plugins are separate from \CGG{} Infinity, if one fails or does not perform as expected, \CGG{} should stay running and you will have to contact the programmers responsible for that plugin for a fix.
Typically, a user OS has specialized package groups installed. It is difficult to create one build of \CGG{} to accommodate all potential LV2 plugins. Specifically for the \textit{Calf-Studio LV2 plugins}, you should install the \textit{Calf Plugins} package. The user’s computer must have \textit{gtk-2-runtime} installed, which seems to be automatically done already for most distros. For users doing their own builds, you can build \CGG{} without LV2 support by including \texttt{-{}-without-lv2} in the configure step. The default build is \texttt{-{}-with-lv2=yes} and requires that \textit{GTK-2-devel} must be installed or the build will fail and notify you. In addition for some newer distros, you will need to install
\textit{lv2-calf-plugins-gui}; for example Fedora version 32.

-The C41 plugin takes a $16\,bit C41$ digital intermediate negative film as input and outputs a positive image. It became necessary because $C-41$ negatives can fade or color-shift over time which was a problem early on. It is still important today because there is a large amount of documentaries, video clips, and other media out there that was shot on super $16$ film. This works for RGB-float, RGB, and also YUV variations.

There are two sets of data -- the scanned input values and your corrected values. Simple functionality of the plugin is to compute the data, transform to get corrected values, then apply that.
Normally threshold is very low when using a high slope. The two parameters tend to be exclusive because slope fills in extra threshold. The slope tries to soften the edges of the chroma key but it does not work well for compressed sources. A popular softening technique is to use a maximum slope and chain a blur effect below the chroma key effect to blur just the alpha.

-Chroma Key (HSV) (figure~\ref{fig:chroma-key-hsv}) replaces a color with another color or transparency using HSV variables; it is frequently used to remove a color from a video to composite with another image. This process is generally referred to as green screen or blue screen process (because of the color that is keyed out). More information: {\small \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromakey}}

\subsection{Frames to fields}%
\label{sub:frames_to_fields}
The most used type of modification is to create a \textit{S curve}. There can be a lot of shapes that use the S curve; the simplest is to create a control point in the shadows, one in the midtones (anchors) and one in the highlights. Moving the highlight point upwards and the shadow point downwards increases the contrast, making the image sharper and improving the color rendering. With the type of \textit{linear} curve you can make hard adjustments, similar to the result of the use of \textit{Color 3 Way}, even if this acts on the color wheel (Hue) while the curves act on individual RGB channels.
-The \textit{Polynomial} and \textit{Bézier} types introduce \textit{control handles} that allow for more sophisticated and smoother adjustments. The quality of the result is much better, but they require more experience for their optimal use. Extending the handles away from the control point increases the \textit{radius} of the curve at that point. By varying the angle of the handles we change the \textit{tangent} and thus the curvature of the curve below. The difference between Polynomial and Bézier lies in the underlying mathematics, but for practical purposes the use is similar.

By varying the angle of the handles we change the \textit{tangent} and thus the slope of the curve below. Unlike true Bezier curves, there is no effect in extending the handles: there is no change in the radius of the curve. The difference between Polynomial and Bézier lies in the underlying mathematics, but for practical purposes the use is similar. By default Bézier starts with a slight S-curve, as opposed to Polynomial.

The \textit{Polar} effect bends and warps your video in weird ways. Mathematically, it converts your video from either \textit{polar} coordinates to \textit{rectangular} coordinates, or the reverse. With the Clear buttons we can bring the slider to default values without affecting the other parameters.
