This is a theoretical average export speed of 0 fps.
IMPORTANT! Real exports using an NLE might be slower due to the NLE overhead.

Any ideas what pricing will be for the new release, and/or will there be an upgrade option?

Vouk any idea what the upgrade price will be from v2 to v3/2026 ?

Vouk - do you have a download link for the FFMPEG8 (L)GPL windows installer, similar to the one you have for 7?

The Designer is an absolutely wizard way to front-end ffmpeg for use with the various editing apps.

Is there any chance it could be modified for use as a standalone front-end, where input files could be specified into the flow, and an output?

Thank You!

First capture is without LOUDNORM, works perfectly. Although weirdly, when batch rendering regions in Vegas, it's losing about 20% speed each regions as it progresses through them .... e.g. 80fps, then 64fps, then 50fps, then 35fps, then 20fps, etc until it slows to a crawl. There's no visible memory leak detectable in Task Manager for either CPU or GPU.

Second capture is with LOUDNORM, same profile, just inserted in between audio IN and render OUT. This immediately fails, and the rejected bitrate message is curious because the same bitrate works perfectly in the above profile without LOUDNESS. It also works as expected when used in ffmpeg from command line : -af loudnorm=I=-24:LRA=11:TP=-2

And for whatever it's worth, these are the scene files from Vegas 22, I couldn't find Voukoder's storage location for its profiles.

voukoder pro.zip

Simply adding the audio filter causes immediate failure of Voukoder Pro to render. Vegas stops instantly with a "unable to start Voukoder Pro" error on render. Removing the filter restores normal operation. This is on all default settings.

So this appears to generate compliant video:

2pass=0 aq-strength=8 aud=1 b=15000000 bluray-compat=1 bufsize=10000000 coder=cabac cq=23 gpu=0 level=4 maxrate=22000000 preset=hq profile=high qmax=29 qmin=8 rc=vbr rc-lookahead=32 spatial-aq=1 temporal-aq=1

From Vegas 18, using VK 9.3, the BluRay preset under the H.264 produces noncompliant output.

When mux is attempted (best way to test is to acquire a copy of Blu-Disc Studio-Lite, which is free) the tsMuxeR output shows an invalid picture order error message when attempting to mx/assemble the bluray disc image.

the same files output with the regular H264 preset mux flawlessly and error-free

Side note - is there a way to output elemental streams instead of a .mkv?
