Vouk Hi Daniel

Any news of Voukoder for Avid Media Composer?

Major update adds Blackmagic Cloud supportfor remote collaboration, DaVinci proxy workflow, new AI basedResolve FX, improved subtitling, Fairlight Fixed to FlexBus and more!

I will not add any more connectors to Voukoder (unless there is a very good reason to do so). It's internal interface is just too limited which makes hacks/workarounds necessary. I am currently working on the voukoder successor, and when this is ready I might also add support for other programs (i.e. Avid).

Is it official?:

Daniel, can you please develop a new importer plugin for Premiere Pro/Media Encoder to just import media files that are not supported by Adobe and name it for example Voudekoder?

Daniel, do you have an official Twitter Voukoder account to check the progress of Voukoder?

Set the final quality by size (for example 1.5 GB for 1:30 hours movie).

This feature is very useful for sending videos to for example Whatsapp.

Daniel, please divorce FFmpeg and add custom encoders to Voukoder. (FFmpeg is not Black Magic!)

Old news, but...

January 17th, 2022, FFmpeg 5.0 "Lorentz"

FFmpeg 5.0 "Lorentz", a new major release, is now available! For this long-overdue release, a major effort underwent to remove the old encode/decode APIs and replace them with an N:M-based API, the entire libavresample library was removed, libswscale has a new, easier to use AVframe-based API, the Vulkan code was much improved, many new filters were added, including libplacebo integration, and finally, DoVi support was added, including tonemapping and remuxing. The default AAC encoder settings were also changed to improve quality. Some of the changelog highlights:

• ADPCM IMA Westwood encoder
• Westwood AUD muxer
• ADPCM IMA Acorn Replay decoder
• Argonaut Games CVG demuxer
• Argonaut Games CVG muxer
• Concatf protocol
• afwtdn audio filter
• audio and video segment filters
• Apple Graphics (SMC) encoder
• hsvkey and hsvhold video filters
• adecorrelate audio filter
• atilt audio filter
• grayworld video filter
• AV1 Low overhead bitstream format muxer
• swscale slice threading
• MSN Siren decoder
• scharr video filter
• apsyclip audio filter
• morpho video filter
• amr parser
• (a)latency filters
• GEM Raster image decoder
• asdr audio filter
• speex decoder
• limitdiff video filter
• xcorrelate video filter
• varblur video filter
• huesaturation video filter
• colorspectrum source video filter
• RTP packetizer for uncompressed video (RFC 4175)

Apple Compressor

It has recently become very popular and many companies are developing plug-ins for it.

You do not need to have a Mac, you can also develop a plugin with Hackintosh!:

Quote from sakendrick

Hi There,

I'm looking at cleaning up some noisy VFR dark video I have for a project, prior to working on my composition. Using Neat DeNoise, standard contrast and sharpening on each individual source file which is VFR from phones. Media info below. But I'm wondering what the best option is for a lossless intermediate format so I don't lose any quality before editing within my larger composition project. I know ProRes is a favorite but rendering is Soooo slow. Wondering if I did a lossless H264 or any other format, it might work just as well and render faster.

Thanks - I'm new to Voukoder, any recommendations welcome.

Scott

Not many options left, use: MKV (FFV1/FLAC or PCM)

Quote from Vouk

If you need a mathematical lossless intermediate codec check out MagicYUV.

MYUV (MagicYUV) is just a space waster format and you should buy it if you really want to use it. (the dev force you to buy it, because free version is really useless comparing to options that full version offer!)

Quote from rs3d

Which codec you recommend for archival purposes, which is uncompressed and supports 16-Bit color depth per RGB channel? FFV1 maybe?

And do all hosts support 16 Bit or is high color depth limited to specific ones?

There's not much option for lossless 16-bit and also very limited host support. (even video players)

Use: MKV (FFV1/FLAC) (or PCM for compatibility).

Voukoder for Apple Compressor (SDK available here):

Apple Developer Documentation

Instead of donating, I'll add Voukoder to popular software index sites for free!

Daniel, please add: MKV (x265 Lossless/FLAC) to Voukoder for archiving.

All Adobe CC plugins are the same (Premiere Pro/After Effects/Media Encoder/Audition) according to SDK.

Preset for optimized for: YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/Twitter.
