The full/full-shared builds contain everything possible; I didn't really look at the essentials builds, because I want everything :)

What do you mean with full/full-shared and essentials builds?

I'm sure you have lots of concerns about licensing (and patents), so something like this moves that to a 3rd party. But, I'm not a programmer :)

I actually have no concerns about licensing issues anymore as FFmpeg is not included in GPL in Voukoder Pro anymore, but yes, building FFmpeg takes hours and can be VERY complicated if you want to embed all libraries and features. That's why I already switched to the BtbN builds. But scoop makes it even easier.

I just wish to make Voukoder Pro and FFmpeg even more user friendly for the user, like maybe install it via the Designer app. Maybe I can work on this in 2026 and check the legal aspects first.

I also really like the system of "zero"-installs, where everything is contained in one directory, Windows is not involved, and it just makes shims as necessary. Delete that directory if you don't like it, and it's gone!

Same. In theory I don't even need the path variable anymore. But the shims are currently working for EXE files only, not for DLLs.

It's really interesting VEGAS Pro is one of the few tools where older version are still in use by many people. But we can try to support as many older versions that are supported by the oldest VEGAS Pro SDK I have access to.

I'm just busy with Voukoder Pro 3 at the moment. I'll put it on my todo list.

Voukoder never included a download link for VEGAS Pro. My first version of VEGAS Pro was 17 which SDK should be compatible down to VEGAS Pro 12, but i was never able to test it.

Voukoder Pro supports VEGAS Pro 18-23 now.

I've looked into this, and yes, it looks very promising! In fact this finally makes installing ffmpeg easy (like homebrew on MacOS).

I need to look deeper into it and check what's bundled into this ffmpeg version.

Edit:

So yes, scoop is indeed a good option, you can install FFmpeg really easy with it, like:

1. Install scoop itself:
   Open a powershell.exe console and enter:
   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
   Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression
   
2. Install ffmpeg (for Voukoder Pro 3.0)
   1. scoop install main/ffmpeg-shared@8.0
      
3. Add the directory with the installed ffmpeg dlls to the PATH variable
   

Apparently no single log is created.

• Please open the Designer App on your Desktop.
• Open the scene you want to use in After Effects
• Run the Scene Test with like 10 iterations.
• Copy the generated log file here.

Reproduce this steps, please:

1. Reproduce the issue
2. Open "%LOCALAPPDATA%VoukoderPro\logs" in the windows explorer
3. Copy & paste the latest logfile here

Yes, if you want to get a certain video size it's a good reason. I'll put it on my list.

Technically it's possible, but i didn't implement it yet as it slows down the overall encoding process and there are much better rate control algorithms available (i.e. CFR). What do you need it for?

The scene graph looks weird when recreating your settings. I'll investigate this ...

Can you perform a scene test and share the log output here?

Most importantly is you follow the installation steps exactly as i have written. To help you I need to know exactly the versions and steps you have done. Can you start the Designer App? Do you see all encoders there? Can you perform a scene test?

Please ask the developer of the GTA5 plugin. "Voukoder" is not in development and not supported anymore

Please attach an exported scene file where you have specified these filters with their arguments.

It is also good to perform a scene test. You'll get the log right away with it.

It'll be fixed in the next version of Voukoder Pro.

I can confirm this. I'll look at it next.

Premiere Elements is currently not supported or even tested. But it seems to get basically recognized and maybe even working. Does it work if you select the yuv420 format in the encoder settings? dxva2_vld seems to not be supported in this case.

The possibly most important page in the installer application:

Select the plugin you want to install here. Otherwise it won't work! I'm currently working on a new plugin installation method for version 3.

Send your log file after when this issue happened please.

Please also answer these questions:

• Did you perform a scene test of your created scene?
  • Did it work?
• What version of the FFmpeg DLLs did you install?
• Note: Connectors are part of "Voukoder Classic"
  • Voukoder Pro uses plugins. Don't mix anything between this two program versions.
  • Make sure you installed the Adobe Premiere plugin in the installer

To all people having problems with getting Voukoder/Voukoder Pro to work in VEGAS Pro:

Can you tell me your windows region settings in this thread?

What Country is Windows set to and what language are you using?
