upgrade to libsox_ng
Hi, yes you need to compile it with: ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install (if you want to have Imagination available from the menu) If the first command fails you need to download all the dev packages for gtk+3 and sox. Please don't use this section for help as it's only for bugs.

Do I have to compile something to use the app? I've never compiled a program and have no idea how to do it.

Hi Sergio, I slowly started developing Imagination again. Libav video encoding works successfully. Please here: https://imagination.sourceforge.net/news.html Also you can find the github repo here: https://github.com/colossus73/imagination
Hi, to test my new update of svn2git https://github.com/sergiomb2/svn2git , I found some work that I did to packaging imagination on RPMFusion https://github.com/rpmfusion/imagination/commit/736dbf81126f66d7e7920a5cdc55f13b0e44dacf and 7 years ago I refresh the svn2git of this project here: https://github.com/sergiomb2/imagination , you got the tags, the branches, the latest commit , I did branch (version) 3.6 and branch RPMFusion which have 2 patches , any commit that you do on svn , svn2git can...

On Ubuntu 24 getting this message: error while exporting frame to ppm: erno=32. Imagination 3.6. I upgraded to Ubuntu 24 from Ubuntu 23.10, after which this error occurred.
Error when exporting Ubuntu 24
Hi, I was able to fix my error by having a look at the source code, however the actual fix was to edit my .img file. It had 483 slides but in the header it said it were 484, so the programm tried to dereference a null pointer. I changed the entry of the header to 483, now it works. I don't know how the incorrect number made its way into the file though. Maybe the cause is something else that may or may not need investigation. Probably a fail safe should be put into place to alert users of their incorrect...
Hi Lorenz, thank you four your message. The source code is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/imagination/files/imagination-3.6.tar.gz/download I would be very happy if you could join the project and help me to continue the development. Currently Imagination is abandoned. I'm stuck in implementing libav rather than spawning the ffmpeg executable in the background. Also I started developed a GTK3 timeline you can see here: https://github.com/colossus73/gtk_timeline Hope to hear from...
segfault when importing img file
I had the same problem using Ubuntu 20.04 and V3.5 from the repos. It would happen consistently even with a small number of photos (5) imported. I invoked from the command line to capture the terminal for you and it works just fine!! i.e invoking from apps crashes invoking from the terminal does not. In case it helps here is the terminal output I used a -v switch thinking it might give me a version number from the cli. kim@Inspiron-16-7610:~$ imagination -v Using ffmpeg for encoding.

Hi Installed imagination 3.5 on Ubuntu 20.04. It (almost) works Great job! keep going on !
Hi Installed imaginatin 3.5 on Ubuntu 20.04. It (almost) works I'm trying now 3.6. Please add the debian/ control directory so that we can rebuild Imagination and may be help on problems like segfaults. I can't rebuild 3.5 because there is no clear rebuilding help. Anyway, great job! keep going on !
I used it 2021-12-11 on Ubuntu 21.10. It worked great and I loved the results! I have a fully-loaded system. I wonder why it didn't work for you.

Wish I could help. It is still working in Ubuntu 18 so I installed that as a second o.s. I have tried several other video editors. For a fairly simple video slide show Imagination is much better- less complicated, bigger images. Hope you get someone to help. Gary
Hi Gary, I do want to continue Imagination development but it seems my programming skills have reached their limit. I coded a new GTK timeline widget to make easier to add music. See the news section on the web site for the animated GIF. Plus I started coding libav integration rather than spawning the ffmpeg executable but it seems people are not interested in helping, maybe because Linux video editors are getting good. See those links please: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70247548/correct-rgb-values-for-avframe...
looks like Imagination is no longer supported.
Still having same problem. Too bad. I really like this program.
Please provide instructions on how to do so. gary
Hi, can you provide the output from the terminal please?
Imagination crashes when attempting to save
Further, the program crashes when you try to save a new slideshow. It imports the photos but crashes when you try to save it.
Imagination crashes
Just tested after compiling the version 3.6 and got the same result plus a core dump when exporting to 30-fps DVD video
Ok, sorry for the noise. Thank you
Music and video unsynchronized in exported video
Hello Frederic, thanks for submitting the bug but this was fixed in version 3.6. Please tell Ubuntu people to update the package. Many thanks.
To be more precise, exported video is not conform to the preview in terms of timings

Hey Stuart, thank you so much for pointing this out! It's definitely nice, thanks! At the moment the development is stalled again. I'm currently getting rid of running the ffmpeg eecutable in the background so to encode straight with libav. Thanks.

Reduced redundant code in subtitles.c
Hello Doug, thanks for your comment and for using Imagination. Unfortunately what you asked is extremely difficult to code as GTK doesn't offer a native timeline widget and building it from scratch is hard indeed. I do not get any donation sadly for Imagination and the time I have to code it is not too much. Anyway, during those "lockdown days" I'm improving it. I recently added a preview timer that gets updated when the user click on a slide with the time the clicked slide starts from when previewing....
Got rid of last SOX dependancy, play, as Imagination uses ffplay to play music.
Deleted unused icons.
Added a nice preview timer.

Reduced statusbar height cause port to GTK+3.
Got rid of even more deprecated GTK+2 api.
Added "Open Recent" functionality.
Imagination has a nice export dialog automatically populated with a list of video and audio encoders according to the chosen format.
Got rid of useless option in new slideshow dialog as they will be used in the new export one.
Merged avcodec branch into trunk from revision 721.
Fixed crash when the new slide dialog is closed when fading is in progress.
Made audio duration to be calculated with libavformat, hip hip hurrà!
Updated configure script to check for libavcodec and libavutil.
Updated news file.
Experimental export with avcodec
Tagging 3.5.1 release
Updated changelog.
Tagging 3.5.1 release
Fixed imagination svg file.
Timeline with song titles and transition marks
Tagged 3.5 release
Updated documentation and images.
Fixed bug truncating slide text from Imagination project file up to 3.4 version.
Made the zoom in the image area to react to mouse wheel events.
Fixed few more deprecated messages from the port to GTK+3.
Updated audio dialog png to reflect Fade duration.
Added H265 video codec.
Added alignment to text in the slide.
Hi, thanksfor your request. At the moment there are NO plans for an appimage release. I will release 3.5 soon anyway.
Updated Russian translation
Fixed a bit of deprecated messages from transition to GTK+3
Hello, thanks for your bug report. Would you please pull out the latest SVN revision and see if the bug still persist? Imagination was finally ported to GTK+3 and this may have solved the bug so I can close it. Thanks :)
