Using the Master Videoencoder plug-in included in gimp-gap does not work. This is one of the main functions of the plugin, as it renders the results. Various options were used all resulted in the plug-in crashing, including both Frames and Layers mode and all of the encoding modes. Additional info: * Gimp version: 2.8.4-1 * Gimp-Gap version: 2.6.0-3 Steps to reproduce: -Open Gimp -Create a multilayer image -Click "Video" pull down -Click "Master Videoencoder..." -Fill out parameters or take defaults -Click "OK" Results: Plugin crashes: /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/gap_vid_common_encoder: fatal error: Segmentation fault |

Upon investigating, I see that Gimp is at 2.8, but GAP is at 2.6. I'm also unable to find any webpage for GAP 2.6 for Linux.
There were some problems compiling gimp-gap that I resolved, but the result is the same. I tried compiling without ffmpeg that comes with it.
I will look into the GNOME/gimp-gap sources on github.

Would you mind uploading your working package as gimp-gap-git on AUR?
Since gimp-gap doesn't have a working release, doesn't have a webpage and doesn't compile "out of the box", it feels more like a badly maintained development project than a project that's ready to be an official package. I'm considering dropping gimp-gap from [community], for now.
If a working release for Gimp 2.8 appears, gimp-gap could be moved back. And if gimp-gap-git on AUR would grow somewhat popular (10 votes), then that package could be moved to [community] instead.
What do you think?
If you're interested, here is the page for the package in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gimp-gap-git/
Here is the PKGBUILD (that currently doesn't compile): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gi/gimp-gap-git/PKGBUILD
Any suggestions for how to fix it (according to what you did) are warmly welcome, either as a comment to that package, or if you adopt it and modify the PKGBUILD.
It's fairly straightforward to use AUR, and there is plenty of info on the Arch wiki, if you should be interested. Feel free to email me as well, if you should be stuck somehow.
Thanks.
Closing this bug.
