So, you now have ...
That's good and sounds like it's supposed to be.
Now create a first simple scene in the Scene Designer by clicking Scene > Create > Simple and save it to the name Simple.
If you now perform a scene test... what happens? Please paste the output here.
Did you try to reboot your PC?
I'll work on fixing it. Please don't use any unicode chars until then.
There are several issues here:
Licenses are offline validated. I have no control over single licenses.
Set your wanted file name in davinci.
In the scene designer keep it like this:
2025-01-29 15:53:37 (error) [OutputNode.cpp:199] Unable to open output: Hunger at Home - Prores
2025-01-29 15:53:37 (error) [Router.cpp:161] Open phase failed: -11Did you configure a custom output file name in your output node?
Try using the default file name, don't override it. It must have a valid absolute file path, file name and file extension, 'Hunger at Home - Prores' is not valid.
It seems there are permissioning issues with your target directory.
Can you try to export it to you desktop only?
Please rename it to 2025-01-29_15-53-36.txt and try again.
Can you try one of the latest FFmpeg installers and see if this has been fixed there?
Please also perform a scene test and check the log results in there.
I've added the log file extension.
Can you please post a scene test result? or a log file?
I've started with converting the iAvoe presets for the x264 encoder. Import them with "Scene" > "Import ..." to the Designer App and "Scene" > "Save as ..." to your local drive.
I'd try to go the other way around. Using bitrates as rate control limitation is a rather old way of doing this.
In your case I'd use this settings:
First, lower the quality value until it looks good and then increase the B-Frames value (Bf) and the (G) value to get a smaller file size.
I'll investigate that.
I'll add more input streams.
Edit: I have changed it to 10 inputs now. The ultimate goal would be it adapts to the currently assigned inputs and there'd be always one more free input.
Please take a look at the Quickstart section in the documentation. It will be continuousely updated.
Did you install FFmpeg? Which variant/package of it did you install?
