I see the value of both! While timelines make a lot of sence when your going second by second, but the tile view is more useful when your looking at the overall project.

For OS 4, it would be great if we had smaller programs focused on each of the areas. Like stand alone media organizer, clipper, audio editor, and video stitcher.

VideoClipper has the clipper part solved.

A stitcher which could connect video files, images, text, audio overlay, with transtions seams to be the tool folks are asking for here.

@noXLar

I did!

Tremendous work ktadd. I was able to chop up a video and add your video overlay.

The simple tutorial you provided definitly helped understand how to use it...

Few days ago I was using DeVinci Resolve and it took me a min to figure out the tabs at the botton for the different roles, cut, edit, etc.

ktadd, have you looked at the Video Toaster Flyer software? Your using a vertical list to manage your clip arrangement, the flyer used "crutons" with are basically icons to represent video, audios, FX, and images, that can be arranged and ordered horizonatally.

When you want to "cut" a video it opens a separate window which provides the play, start frame, end frame selector.

The same types if functions you've implemented but in a separate window.

Cheers,
Bill

One thing that might work is to use FFMPEG to reduce your clips down to a low rez, build your edits and cuts then apply them to the full size files for final rendering.

Might make it tolerable to do editing an X5000.

Bill

Wow!!!

Hey folks,

HunuPPC just dropped wipEout Rewrite Enhanced Fantômas Edition AmigaOS 4.1 onto OS4Depot.

It's fantastic. I played it at AmiWest, and now I'm back home again. It's worth glancing at the documents before jumping in so it's easy to pick up.

Thank you, HunuPPC!

PS Don't miss out on the Fantômas content by donating.

Great new feature! I am looking forward to seeing more Amigans join us on IRC.

Cheers,
Bill "tekmage" Borari

Looks great. Let us know when it's available for purchase!

@newton

That has not been my experience. On my X5000 large sites might not render correctly but generally it does not crash.

Can you give an example site?

Cheers,
Bill "tekmage" Borsari

Check out Amiwest.net

Another alternative is to use simpletransfer:

http://os4depot.net/share/network/server/misc/simpletransfer.lha

Supports OS 4, OS 3, Windows, and Android.

For 2D our best benchmark is:

For 3D stuff I found starboxdemo:
http://www.os4depot.net/share/graphics/misc/starboxdemo.lha


I ran starbox on my X5000 with RX580:
StarBox Benchmark 1.0
Resolution: 1366 * 768
Windowed
FPS: 907.55

I took a look at the code on GitHub (https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle/tree/master/). That code base is written in Python 3.8, so I can understand why they would not want to maintain a Python 2.5 target along with all the libraries our native OS4 Python does not support.

What I'm thinking now is that I'll stick an RPI in my case, have the PI talk to the Greaseweasle, and build a Hollywood GUI to send commands to the PI to work with the floppy. Should not be all that hard to create something that detects a floppy insert and automates the process to have that floppy popup on the workbench :)

Any update on this support? If any dev wants to commit to making it work, PM me and I'll buy you one.

My X5000/20 has had this problem over the years, and it just started getting worse and worse.

I have the MCU connected to serial so I can monitor the error and see the output. I used the 1 second output option and watched the vdd_3v3_xorro drop from 3.21 to 2.95 over the period of about 15 minutes.

Here is a measure meant about halfway through:
- vcc_cpld: 3.32

ERROR: vdd_3v3_xorro out of range. Expected 3.30, got 2.95
WARNING: Supplies Turned off. Shutting down.

My case differed from Sinans in that only one voltage line was impacted.

I would hook up the MCU to serial so you can get a better view of the issue. I use this part to access the MCU:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R ... _asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The manual has the pins. Let me know if you need those as well.

@geennaam

It looks like this is the line you are thinking of on the X5000:

hwconfig=fsl_ddr:ctlr_intlv=cacheline,bank_intlv=cs0_cs1;usb1:dr_mode=host,phy_type=utmi;usb2:dr_mode=host,phy_type=utmi

Here is the hwconfig on the A1222:

hwconfig=esdhc;audclk:12;usb1:dr_mode=host,phy_type=ulpi

@rjd324

I was having an issue with the machine randomly shutting down. The error message was coming out on the MCU:

>> ERROR: vdd_3v3_xorro out of range. Expected 3.30, got 2.96
WARNING: Supplies Turned off. Shutting down.
ATX supply turned off.

It looks like it was the PSU. I bought one of those excellent battery-powered air blowers and chased LOTS of dust bunnies away. After that, it has been much more stable.

Thanks for asking.

@all

I have an MCU connected to my X5000, and it has been very helpful!

I recently upgraded my FTDI device with this one from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RBKCW3S?p ... o2ov_dt_b_product_details

The connection was easy. The MCU header is labeled "DEBUG FTDI" and is located near the PCI connectors. The header has 6 pins.
The cable has 3 wires, Black, Green, and White. Here is how I have it connected:
PIN - Cable
1 - Black
4 - White
5 - Green

To access the MCU I use screen on Linux:

$screen /dev/ttyUSB1 38400

Here is some of the output:

This is common. To install AmiSSL I have to shutdown the following:

ZitaFTP
AAMP Apps
VNCd
Synergy

You can use "status" to see what apps are running. To end a task use "break <#>". Looks like this:

> status
Process 3: Loaded as command: AAMP:Common/bin/xlaunch
Process 4: Loaded as command: AAMP:Common/libexec/mysqld
Process 5: Loaded as command: AAMP:Common/bin/httpd
Process 9: Loaded as command: LIBS:Hollywood/polybios.ext
Process 10: Loaded as command: alt-wb:OtherUtilities/Hostsmgr-1.0/HostsMgr
Process 11: Loaded as command: sys:UHC/c/SynergyClient
Process 12: Loaded as command: Work:Internet/VNC/RVNCd/RVNCd
Process 13: Loaded as command: CSD2:Internet/ZitaFTPServer/ZitaFTPServer
Process 14: Loaded as command: FilerCX
Process 15: Loaded as command: AmIRC.os4-3.1.5
Process 16: Loaded as command: status
Process 17: Loaded as command: Odyssey
Process 19: Loaded as command: alt-wb:OtherC/wb2filer
Process 22: Loaded as command: alt-wb:OtherUtilities/Filer/Filer


To shutdown ZitaFTPServer use "break 13"

Hope this helps!
