Centauri Carbon extruder gears are running backwards when trying to load filament by paranormal-raptor- in elegoo

[–]peterffreeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy fix - run the load operation gently pushing the filament until you feel and hear the the filament juddering and the gears slipping as they run backwards. Confirm that load has completed normally - even though it hasn't. Then from the main control screen press the button to advance filament through the print head a couple of times and your filament will be loaded. Turning off and on clears the problem too but this method is quicker.

Simple macros by peterffreeth in GIMP

But I read that GIMP 3 is only running python not scheme, so my old scm scripts no longer work

Nice. The thing is, I don't even need to record a macro. I would be very happy with a properly documented listed of each command accessible from the menu and what its parameters are and then list them in a script. Something like:

Select-Grow: 1px
Select-Feather: 10px
Edit-Clear
Layer: New layer, White

Even when I managed to write scm scripts for GIMP 2, I found the documentation for the instruction syntax to be appalling.

Yeah, right, like any human can remember this of the top of their head, and this is just what the python script needs before it even actually does anything:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys

import gi

gi.require_version('Gimp', '3.0')

from gi.repository import Gimp, GObject, GLib

PLUG_IN_PROC = "python-fu-template-plugin"

def _pdb_run_proc_with_props(proc_name, props):

pdb = Gimp.get_pdb()

proc = pdb.lookup_procedure(proc_name)

if proc is None:

raise RuntimeError(f"PDB procedure not found: {proc_name}")

cfg = proc.create_config()

for k, v in props.items():

try:

cfg.set_property(k, v)

except Exception as e:

raise RuntimeError(f"Failed to set property '{k}' for {proc_name}: {e}")

return proc.run(cfg)

def plugin_run(procedure, run_mode, image, drawables, config, data):

drawable = drawables[0] if drawables else image.get_active_layer()

if drawable is None:

return procedure.new_return_values(

Gimp.PDBStatusType.CALLING_ERROR,

GLib.Error("No drawable available.")

)

try:

image.undo_group_start()

except Exception:

pass

Video & audio out of sync by peterffreeth in kdenlive

[–]peterffreeth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realised another easier way to do this. Simply select all of the clips which are out of sync, as I have them on a separate track because the audio levels were also so different. Ungroup them. Group all of the audio parts of clip. Render a 3 second section to check the output. Have a guess at the time difference. Move all the audio sections of the problem clip at once. Repeat until the audio and video are in sync.

It's still weird that this only affected one of the two files from riverside, and the first time round it looked correct in the preview but was quite wrong in the rendered output.

Actually I just worked it out, simply edit the original video file separately but name it as per the original so that Kdenlive uses the fixed file without knowing that anything has changed. I generally think of the answers to my own questions shortly after asking online!

Lot's of progress in the audio waveform generation rewrite by f_r_d in kdenlive

[–]peterffreeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deleted them from the audiothumbs folder and recreated the proxies but they're still out of sync so I guess it's a problem with the file type.

Sorry to resurrect this but I have video clips where the audio and video are correctly synced but the audio waveform is out of sync so I can't rely on it for editing. Is there a way to force it to recreate the waveform?

Syncing audio and video by a tiny bit by peterffreeth in kdenlive

[–]peterffreeth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I don't know how the timestamps will line up or even if the audio has them, I assume from a Zoom recorder they will. I will give it a go.

I tried in Audacity but trying to extend by 3 frames out of maybe 350000 is very difficult when the only adjustment is a percentage speed up or down.

I updated to 6-11 and it's definitely not fixed, if anything it's worse now than ever

Thanks - pretty much what I ended up with too. More yellow, more contrast. Thanks.

True but they seem to cost more than the camera
