  • Voukoder 2.2 (BETA)

    Version 2.2-beta2 -- NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE

    Welcome the second beta of the next Voukoder version:

    Fixes:

    • ZScale filter is available again
    • Fixed french and german translation
    • Fixed some small UI issues

    Changes:

    • Doing update check only once on plugin startup

  • Redesign the User Interface

    1. Yes, I renamed it to "Output". I guess its better than "General"

    It is also a good place for the "Voukoder presets", I like that.

    2. Yes, we agree on that point.

    These settings depend on the selected encoder.

    These settings do not depend on the selected encoder.

    I'd rather not mix both types together in the same tab control. Maybe we can separate both types a bit visually somehow.

  • Holidays

    I might be online less frequently the next days as I am on holiday.

    I will be back on the 5th of august and reply to all open issues.

  • Redesign the User Interface

    Digeridoo Great. Thanks for the sketches. Basically this is what I had in my mind already, yes.

    1. The selection of the "Format" depends on the selection done in "Video" and "Audio". I am still trying to find out if there is a more clever way of displaying this workflow / dependency.

    2. I like your idea of separating the encoding option groups in tabs. This is what I meant with "2nd level navigation". But there would still be some scrolling. Although - It would be less scrolling than it currently is. But i guess we can't get araound it with like 200 options for i.e x265.

    3. Advanced - Yes, maybe not at this position but I want to have it in this view somewhere. Maybe below the options preview? I also think about not only to remove the advanced tabs in simple mode, but showing a custom simple tab instead. i.e. just showing a "Quality" slider for x264 that matches to the crf param. But thats just a detail.

    4. 3D & Filters - It would be possible to put these tabs here. BUT - It could be confusing as these are not encoder options, plus they are encoder independend. They will not be affected when the encoder gets changed and they won't get cleared or resetted when the encoder options does.

    Both "3D/Spherical" and "Filters" will be not used by the majority of the users. So I still think it could be reasonable to add buttons that open a new dialog. Not sure about it though.

    5. Presets - We need to put a list / dropdown of encoder presets somewhere (i.e. "YouTube", "Archive", "Lossless", "Draft" or something). But this can be thought through later.

  • Redesign the User Interface

    Don't forget there are both audio and video filters!

    And if there is alread an audio and video sidebar item... shouldn't everything video and audio related be included there? It would be also confusing to add a filter item and then have a video and audio tab in there.

    Just to think about.

    I will release a beta1 of the new version this afternoon, so you get an impression of the current situation.


    Still, I prefer us to think about the general structure and not about a single component (like the filters). How can we put all components in there in a nice way and how to navigate between them?

  • Redesign the User Interface

    As a first step i followed Digeridoo s suggestion and removed all tabs and integrated them in the sidebar.:

    Whats still missing is to separate the "General" tab into "Video", "Audio" and "Muxer/Format" sidebar items.

    Thats where it gets complicated:

    When I click on i.e. "Video" in the sidebar I need to have a way to display the ...

    • Encoder options (per encoder) - each group in a different tab/panel
    • Side data
    • Filter List
    • Presets

    This would require at least some kind of second level navigation for the options.

    Any ideas / suggestions?
