ZitatPremiere, After FX, Davinci-resolve are video editors, which means, you just Google "how to change project framerate in Premiere/After FX/Davinci-resolve".
Well, this comes down to how Voukoder works, not how the host editing software works, and the responsibility for that is the developer, not the user. Googling won't help I'm afraid, though thank you for your suggestion.
You can't change render resolution and framerate using Voukoder in Vegas Pro without filters. The native render templates work differently from Voukoder and even other third party renderers like MagicYUV make use of that functionality If Voukoder changes how it works so it can make resolution and framerate changes without filters that's fine by me. The filters are appreciably slower than how the native templates work as well so I wouldn't miss them if I could do the same thing a different way.
Changing project resolutions can affect the formatting of different Fx (stabilization, etc.) so it's necessary to set this properly at the project stage. If you edit in high resolution you can output at lower resolutions but the converse is not true. Also if you change project settings from 4K to HD you lose the full resolution of still images or other high-resolution images which is very important if you're doing a push-in zoom or cropping them (all track based Fx work at the project resolution rather than the media resolution).
That may work different in other NLEs but this is how it works in the one that I use. I'd hate to see Voukoder become less useful and functional.
You need video filters or we can't change the resolution or framerate from what the project is.
Agreed, the lack of compression and low CPU overhead is what's attractive about ProRes and MagicYUV as editing formats.
Anything over 10-bit 4:2:0 is not going to work with GPU decoding (unless you use an Intel IGPU or ARC card) on the HEVC side or over 8-bit 4:2:0 on the AVC side so that might be source of poor playback performance. GPU makers have moved on to support for HEVC and newer formats.
Maybe share the full settings? This screenshot is only showing a few.
You can reduce the quality by changing quantizer from say 17 to 23 and see if that yields file sizes you are happy with.
The general recommended setting aren't a bad place to start from, either.
I think paying to unlock full features is reasonable (I've donated twice so far... after I used Voukoder and found it was beneficial for me).
The world of video is full of expensive things, a great resource like Voukoder at a low price should be an easy choice for many users.
There is a legacy GPU render feature I'd avoid, but changing decoding for AVC should have no effect on Voukoder. For renders I'd keep dynamic ram preview at defaults or 0 if you have artifacts.
Very ambitious and flexible! I hope it's not too hard to set up and use : )
Voukoder is 12.1 and VP 20.326 which is the latest version. I've tested Voukoder on just about every build of Vegas from 18 on and have reported a handful of issues here.
Type of video isn't normally relevant as Voukoder just encodes whatever Vegas sends to it, but this time was various UHD 4K media as part of the new sample project. You can try it here: https://forms.gle/KvnAmEuR5sFrydVr8
I generically use X-AVC S files from my Sony cameras for testing Voukoder as it's mainly what I shoot. Happy to test with something else if that's a potential factor.
I also have a second computer I can test on and did so with this same project and VP 20.326 with an Intel i5-13600K and RTX 2080 Super.
I just completed a render on my laptop (GTX 1050, HD 630 GPUs) with Voukoder at default x264 settings without issue.
Thanks Daniel and I wish you the same. Here's to a great 2023!

Check your project settings and set to the appropriate framerate. Voukoder will follow whatever it's set to.
I see- I hope they do that so you can properly flag the render.
I tested renders with MagixAVC against Voukoder (x264) in VP 19. I noticed that in the resulting Voukoder render there was no flag in MediaInfo such as:
Color range : Limited
I assume 8-bit Voukoder mp4 AVC renders are limited. MagixAVC is and states it in the metadata.
I noticed this when testing settings in Vegas in the render dialog as you can choose limited (default) or full range. It was unclear if Voukoder takes that into account or if it has any effect on the render (does not appear to). Not having any metadata on color range made it hard to confirm, though.
I'm not sure why you'd do a HDR view transform for a project that will be rendered as SDR but the audio side looks good.
With that test image the result from the general Voukoder 8-bit 4:2:0 template looked okay. Saturations are a bit different between the Voukoder renders than the original but perhaps that's because they are clamped to Rec 709 upon output?
With MPC black and the 10-bit 4:4:4 the superwhites and blacks are lost. The 10-bit file also doesn't look right bringing it back into Vegas.
I then went into the custom preset and just took the 8-bit 420 template and changed it to 10-bit 444 while keeping everything else the same. This version looks fine in MPC and Vegas, and the same as the 8-bit 420 one. So something is wrong with the Voukoder template? I did both UHD and 1080p and they look the same for both render templates.
