    I increased the rendering precison in version 2.0. Did that help?

    Rendering in 32bit float YUVA4444 would slow down the export massively.

    You can force the maximum depth if you export with more than 8 bit already.

    Vouk is the leader and the only developer of this plugin, it's his child. He owes nothing to anyone, he listens to what he wants ; It's the rule, even if it's not your choices, like me you have to accept it.

    I see his point. I basically ignored everything version 1 related to get version 2 out. So that I don't have to work on two different versions. Now it's time to go over all pending version 1 topics and sort them out.

    Back to topic, please.

    As I said these presets above are not fixed. I just want to collect ideas, settings and discuss them. And later on even improve them. I personally would straight use for libx264 "crf=19" and done. But some users are just overwhelmed by all these hundreds of settings. It's too complex for some people. This is not even in development, this is just a theoretical discussion.

    Also if you save the the final configuration and load it again you would only have the single parameters selected again and there'd be no connection to the original preset anymore.


    What if you first select "slow" then "fast"? Would it set the single params for "slow" and when selecting "fast" it'd overwrite them and add more from "fast?" This is creating a mess.

    I'll mark it as rejected for now. I understand your point, but there is no good UI concept. The Voukoder UI works similar to the command line parameters. And other option would be to remove the x264 preset option completely and deal with the single options only. But then... why?

    Currently we have the workflow:

    • You can use a preset i.e. "slow"
    • But then you have the possibility of overwriting single parameters, even if they are already set with the preset.

    I am here is not for discussing presets options. I show you that presets are mostly useless. Not you nor me is guru in options. This situation will produce even more useless presets and you can not control it - example is above - you have added a quite strange preset.

    Then why are you posting to this topic? I am the project owner, so I decide what way this project goes. This project has both pro and non-pro users. There are alot of users who do not know to choose CRF or ABR, they just want to have a good video on YouTube. And I am trying to make it easier for them.

    Also, you are not responded to my first message in this topic. Who will use your custom presets? It is more important then a lot of opened and even not responded bugs and feature requests?

    I already asked you to be more respectful and professional with your posts. I am not your paid developer. You will not decide what I am working on.

    I set rc-lookahead=60, b-adapt=2, direct=auto, trellis=2 because in the Voukoder UI these settings didn't change when selecting preset slower.

    They most likely never will change. I explained it in the according feature request. This is just how the x264 presets works. The UI is just a tool to build an option string. The simple solution would to not use preset slow but each single option instead. But that would not be simple.

    My goal is to have some easy to use presets for users that don't have much insight in encoders, so the can just click on it and have a good, or fast, or whatever result the preset promises. So lets make then as good and as short and non-redundant as possible.

    But its good you guys are discussing and improving the presets. ;) But keep this on a respectful and professional level please.

    Lets collect some useful presets per encoder here. I will make them available in the voukoder ui later on.

    Simply add you reply here and we can discuss and improve presets here.

    Please make sure you know exactly what these options are doing. Please don't post guesses. We want to collect really great presets here.

    Encoder Preset Options
    h264_nvenc Good Quality bf=2 preset=slow profile=high qp=19 rc=constqp g=%(fps*10)
    libx264 Best Quality / CPU Ratio (ABR 4 Mbit/s for 1080p30) b=4000000 preset=slower profile=high rc=abr tune=film x264-params=aq-mode=2:rc-lookahead=60:bframes=3:b-adapt=2:b-pyramid=2:ref=5:direct=auto:direct-8x8=1:me=esa:merange=24:subme=10:trellis=2:no-dct-decimate=1:no-fast-pskip=1
    ...

    This is going to be really nice. Using variables and math formulas in presets for certain settings. Combined with "Match Source" this is will be epic! I am excited about it. We could even do a bitrate calculation based on width and height.

    This is the correct documentation:

    I just tested it. 1 bit actually works.
