What version "VEGAS Pro" do you use?

Connector 0.2 requires Voukoder 2.3beta4. Please uninstall(important!) Beta 2 and install Beta 4.

Interlaced will be supported in the next vegas connector version.

Please read that post I mentioned earlier. It says that voukoder does not improve rendering, but only encoding. If your project takes a long time to render a single frame this is limiting the exporting speed.

1. Maybe your GPU does not support it. btw. it is h265 and not x265

2. Why should I? These are two different encoders

3. There is no classical 2-pass encoding with QSV: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/i…dk/topic/311693

I installed Voukoder to get the often mentioned speed bump in rendering.

Voukoder is not about getting a speed bump. It is about making additional encoders available. Please read: Voukoder Performance Analysis

The first sections should explain quite alot.

Until now Ive had my workflow in Premiere, just set the bitrate, H264, done. Now there are things like QPI QPR, LCVB, and other things, for which apparently you have to study rocket sience first

You should have "Advanced settings" settings disabled to hide the most confusing settings. Setting a bitrate makes only sense if you taget a specific file size. Use a quantizer based rate control. This defines basically the quality / filesize ratio.

You don't need to study rocket science, but using media encoders requires some kind of basic knowledge.

What I also dont quite understand is, that in version 0.7.2 the options for the encoder were directly visible in the program window of Premiere, now with newer versions one has to click through subwindows to get the same functionality. From my understanding, a newer version should always succeed the older one not only by version number, but also regarding usability.

Voukoder got an external interface to make it available to other programs besides Premiere only (i.e. Vegas Pro, After Effects, ...)

In your case: Just select "Profile: High", "Encoding strategy: CQP" and "CQP Value:" to something aroung 15. Smaller values better quality / larger filesize.

And please read the forum post mentioned above.

Can you please attach an interlaced sample file?

I am happy to hear that!

Whats the most important criteria for you? (I assume you want an h264 encode)

• Small file size? => Encoder "x264"
• Best quality? => Encoder "x264"
• Fast encoding speed? => GPU Encoder "NVENC h264" / "AMD h264"

I always recommend quantizer based encoding strategy. For the "x264" I recommend a CRF value of 19. For GPU based encoders I recommand a CQP value of 15. Leave all other settings as they are. They can be changed afterwards. Smaller values will get you a better quality (up to lossless), larger values will produce smaller file sizes.

That are basics (and as simple as possible).

Well, please do what it says. Go to the Voukoder tab and select and configure your encoders.

I don't make any differences in the code about various bitrates. Did you this with FFmpeg on the command line?

Please try, yes.

Can you tell me the steps on how to reproduce it?

Please attach the logfile.

What version are you using?

According to the ffmpeg documentation:

Set bit rate in bits/s. Setting this automatically activates constant bit rate (CBR) mode. If this option is unspecified it is set to 128kbps.

it should be CBR.

Just install the "Media Info" tool.

So when I export like this ...

.. I get:

Audio

Format                                   : AAC LC

Alternate group                          : 1

which should be okay, right?

Added connector for After Effects:

https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder-connectors

Please run "regedit" and confirm that this entry ...

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E9661BFA-4B8E-4217-BCD8-24074D75000B}\InprocServer32

... looks like this:

And make sure voukoder.dll is available at that location / folder.

did you also install the latest voukoder 2.3beta4 version?
