Click in the File menu the entry Render as:
Voukoder should appear in the list of output formats:
You can configure the Voukoder settings by clicking on Customize Template ... and then click on on Open Voukoder dialog ...
You can store the this settings as a new template of course.
As today is a special day - actually it is my birthday - I think it's a good reason to give out the first public test version of the Voukoder for Vegas plugin. As I said, it is a first test version. Many things might not working properly , so if you notice anything wrong please report it to the forum here: Magix
Instructions:
1. Download and install the latest Voukoder Core beta: https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder/releases/tag/2.3-beta2
2. Install the Magix Vegas connector: https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder-connectors
Have fun, and let me know your feedback.
Released 2.3beta2
The Voukoder project has significantly changed. It is not one monolithic component anymore, it has been split into two components:
This step was necessary for many reasons and was actually unavoidable:
In fact the connectors will most likely not change that often. You just need to install the latest voukoder core component in case of an update, just as before.
I'd like to create a special installer program that makes it simpler and detects installed or not installed versions, downloads whats required. If you can help me with this please contact me at vouk@mailbox.org.
Changes:
I know it's been some time and I just asked Magix if this legal stuff is solved and if it is okay that I give out a public test version. I'd like to get forward with this, too.
Still there is a big change in the whole project. It was necessary to split up the the single voukoder.prm file in two parts:
In the end you will have two installer files. One for the "Voukoder Core" component, and the the one that connects it to the host application you are using.
Hello.
Voukoder is a pure exporting plugin. It can not help importing files.
Unfortunately this is not possible. FFmepg / libav gets statically linked into voukoder, so there is no ffmpeg.dll to replace. I am also not sure if the interface are compatible.
I might add this once it is ready and working reliably.
Currently I do not have time to build another plugin. Maybe later.
Voukoder is an exporter plugin only. it does not improve rendering nor decoding.
Magix provided me the closed source SDK to build a plugin for Vegas. I finished already like 90% of it and provided a first test version to them. They are currently checking for any possible legal issues with that plugin. I am grateful for this, as I couldn't afford a lawyer who does this work. I will release a first beta version as soon as I get a positive result back from them.
Thanks for your patience.
Good to know! I wasn't aware of this.
Thats really strange. I have no clue what could be the reason. If you install "windbg" I could send you a debug version of voukoder. That way we could see the low level error log.
Not yet. It should be similar, but i am not aware if they have session limits or similar tools.
Please also check if other programs can use nvenc (i.e. OBS, ffmpeg.exe, ...).
Please do a clean new installation of the video card drivers and make sure they are up to date.
Did you check for a free nvenc session (as the error message says?)
I have some big news to announce! Voukoder will be available for Magix Vegas soon! This is a big step forward for this project and gets Vegas access to all the great encoders (x264, x265, ProRes, FDK AAC, ...).
I talked alot with Magix over the last weeks and they gave me access to the components needed to build a "Voukoder for Vegas". Follow me on twitter to stay up to date with the progress I make and please consider supporting this open source project.
Ging doch schon etwas früher.
Ich werde am Wochenende die erste Beta veröffentlich.
