I have decided I'll publish the current changelog, so you can see what to expect in the next version. I'm constantly working on new features and my to-do list is still quite full, but the changelog shows what's currently finished. So everything might still change.

You'll find the changelog here: https://www.voukoder.org/changelog/

Ah, yes. Now I understand. Well, if you do it this way, audio is technically still exported and it's just muted.

Can you show me a screenshot on how you disconnected the the audio node from the muxer?

This really surprises me. NVENC is working, AMF is not working. This really seems to me like an issue with the AMD encoders (or with the FFmpeg implementation). Normally Limited Color Range doesn't cause an issue. It is actually the default setting.

Question: Can you reproduce this issue with the ffmpeg encoder on the command line?

First I disabled the audio track in Premiere, hoping that it would result in no audio output. Voukoder still encoded an audio track

When I tried to reproduce it and disabled it in Premiere 2025 like this:

I did indeed get no audio track:

TL;DR

• Maybe I already fixed this with some other improvement or can you be a bit more specific what you would like to get improved?
• There is also no audio track when disconnecting the encoder from the muxer node.
• I fixed the other two issues.

Thanks for your suggested improvements.

I'll address all of this in the next version.

No, it is not on by default. But it's good we now know the reason for it.

Can you paste a screenshot to explain exactly what you are missing?

What "Voukoder Pro" release are you using?

What version of FFmpeg did you install?

S16LE is probably the best choice.

• S=Signed
  U=Unsigned
• 16=16 Bit
  24=24 Bit
  32=32 Bit
• LE=Little Endianess (Windows)
  BE=Big Endianess (Mac)
  

Seems like your version is a bit too new.

These DLLs are required:

I've put this bug to my list of todos.

I'll try to reproduce the issue. It shouldn't be like that.

What NLE are you using?

It is called libsvtav1.

I'm working on my todo-list. But if this get's implemented it'll be be in version 3.x which will most likely get released in the next year.

Still, It's not so complicated. Read the quickstart section of the documentation: Create a simple scene, double click on both encoder nodes and the UI is pretty much the same from there on.

All encoders in the Nvidia, AMD and Intel groups are GPU based encoders. All others are CPU based encoders.

Works for me. I tested it with h264_nvenc/aac/mp4 just now. It's playing flawlessly. I just fixed muxer settings were not applied before 2.0.12.

Edit: Do other users experience this too?

What issues do you have with v2.0.12?

I am in contact with the Magix guys now.

The original Voukoder was able to do this for x264 by exporting first the analysis file and then reading it in again with the 2nd and final render. But not many people are using this nowadays.
