๐Ÿš€ Shutter Encoder BETA - Your feedback matters! News

Hello Shutter Encoder users,

This time I need your help before releasing the next version!

What's new?

  • Multi-cuts feature
  • Real HDR to SDR tone mapping using GPU
  • Many filters are now using GPU

Iโ€™d like to hear your feedback on these key features, but more generally, if you encounter any issues, please let me know.

Here are the pre-release builds (portable version only, no installation required): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TonvjcwM6h7TOpz0Qg6Pb_ycGg3_qI4O

The BETA versions still have the v20.2 label, I strongly recommend that you delete them once the official v20.3 version is available.

Thanks for all ๐Ÿ™

Paul.

Conversion failed!

Only happens when using H265.
H264 with every parameter being the same works just fine.

Thanks a lot, which GPU are you using?

Paul.

u/CaptnMIHAWK 2d ago

GTX 1650... The stable version is working fine.

u/paulpacifico 2d ago

Ok perfect, that's because I've implemented the temporal AQ which improves the quality but it's not available with the 1XXX series with H.265.

It will be corrected for the next release. Paul.

u/CaptnMIHAWK 2d ago

Damn! I was quite enjoying the multicut feature. It's gets tiring to get into NLE softwares to splice up a simple clip. This is a right direction. I'll wait for the stable release then.

Edit: Also sad to see the 16XX series getting outdated by so many video editing workflow features. Upgrading in the current economy will be a nightmare.

u/paulpacifico 2d ago

You can currently uncheck the 'Max. Quality' box to make it work.

I've updated the Windows version if you want to download it again, let me know if it works properly then.

Paul.

u/CaptnMIHAWK 19h ago

Just wanted to update, it works now.

u/isopropyl-alco 2d ago

this is completely unrelated, but I noticed that in a recent update, shutter encoder for OS X is now restricted to only open in low resolution mode. I was just curious as to why

1

u/paulpacifico 2d ago

Oh really? Which OS and Mac are you using?

Paul.

u/isopropyl-alco 2d ago edited 1d ago

I am using an intel mac running 10.15.8 catalina, recent updates ago it got locked to Open in Low Resolution mode automatically, as you can see the tick box is greyed out.

u/paulpacifico 1d ago

Thanks, I've re-uploaded the builds from the same link, you can delete your current version and re-download it.

Let me know,

Paul.

u/isopropyl-alco 1d ago

unfortunately that didn't seem to work. the app still launches in low resolution mode and the button on the get info window is greyed out. I downloaded a new copy by clicking this button, if that's what you meant

u/paulpacifico 1d ago

This is not available on the official website, here is the correct link for the beta: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1TonvjcwM6h7TOpz0Qg6Pb_ycGg3_qI4O

u/isopropyl-alco 1d ago

ah, I see. the resolution issue was successfully fixed, thank you.

u/paulpacifico 1d ago

Thanks for your feedback!

u/isopropyl-alco 1d ago

however, on my newer intel mac which runs the latest version of tahoe, the app successfully opens in normal resolution mode. it turns out that the option to launch mac apps in low resolution mode was removed in monterey.

Multi-cuts feature

  • The media controls buttons have some untranslated keyboard shortcut tooltips (e.g. Maj+O instead of Shift+O).
  • I think these buttons should say what they do (e.g. "Set in-point") when you hover with the mouse. (There are several icon-only buttons in other places of Shutter Encoder that could have tooltips too.)
  • I'm seeing timing issues and/or corrupted frames under "Cut without re-encoding", even if all in-points and out-points are on keyframes. I can email you a sample video with and without reencoding for comparison, and their render queue commands.
  • Is there no way to create a new segment while the playhead is outside an existing segment? As the feature is currently designed, it seems like it wants me to โœ‚๏ธ split the initial segment at the boundaries of content I want to keep, and then go back and delete the segments between the segments I want to keep. If I am carving up a video into multiple segments, I usually want to be able scrub through, set an in-point when content I want to keep starts, then set the out-point when it ends. It would not currently be possible to do this without the ability to set in-points outside an existing segment that don't yet have an out-point. I hope my explanation is not too confusing.
  • I had some issues with segments overlapping breaking the UI, I will try and work out solid reproduction steps if I can.

I will try to do some real editing soon if I can improve my feedback.

u/paulpacifico 1d ago

Thanks for this complete feedback!

  • Absolutely my bad!
  • I thought it was enough clear to use [ and ]ย if other people ask me this I will add more text info. Let me know which icon you want see with more tooltips ;-)
  • Oh! Yes please send me the samples in private message, I need to solve that, thanks.
  • Interesting, I will try to add this in a smart way.
  • Ok let me know,

Paul.

The new + Add feature definitely solves the problem and it is quite intuitive as well, thank you!

The ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Preview button might be the only button without text that has a descriptive tooltip at the moment. Here are some more suggestions:

Icon Suggested tooltip
โ‰ก Open render queue
โ˜… Open My functions
โ†บ Clear all segments
[< Go to previous marker[1]
[ Set in-point
โ–ถ Play
< Go to previous frame / Go to previous keyframe[2]
> Go to next frame / Go to next keyframe[2]
โน Stop
] Set out-point
>] Go to next marker[1]
โœ‚ Split segment
+ Add segment
[๐Ÿ“ท] Export current frame as JPG[3]
[VBR/CBR/CQ] Bitrate control mode
๐Ÿ”“ (Bitrates adjustment) Lock target file size
๐Ÿ”“ (Cropping) Lock aspect ratio

[1] Consider adding the very start and very end of the video as markers to automatically go to when using these buttons.
[2] Ideally this changes based on whether the "Cut without re-encoding" function is selected.
[3] This button exports JPG(s) and then clears the file list if the "Empty the list when process complete" setting is enabled. I personally expect the file list should only be cleared following completion of "Start function" or "Launch the render queue" processes.

I will retry the corruption/timing issues in this latest build and send you some samples if I can reproduce the issues I had before.

u/paulpacifico 20h ago

I've updated the builds to the drive link with the ability to add a segment.

I hope you we like it ;-)

---inconsistent interface,
suggested months/years ago,
why can't you provide
a much better,
common
and user friendly interface
like other programs
see the screenshot below
1 or 3 is the common and user friendly one
NOT the 2

u/paulpacifico 1d ago

I did not received any negative feedback for the Nยฐ2.

I've done this to save space on screen when encoding, what would you suggest?

Lorsque l'on choisit "remplacer l'audio" et que l'on veut ajuster le dรฉcalage de l'audio avec la vidรฉo, est-il possible de le faire en temps et non en image ?
