Can you guys please come up with a way to let the cut-edit operations also include subtitles?

The way it is now, makes handling subtitles really annoying, especially when cutting and splitting clips..

If I import a single clip and the corresponding (synced) subtitle file, cut-edit operations will NOT cut subtitles along with the frames of the video and audio that were deleted. Also when you split a file, each clip gets a FULL copy of the whole subtitle stream, this also makes it annoying as you have to go back and delete subtitles that shouldn't be there..

But more to the point, if I split my subtitles manually, I still have to re-calculate the first and last spoken dialogue start times so they remain in sync - this is EXTREMELY hard to do from my attempts at trying and I often end up making 3 or 4 time corrections to the subtitle stream, in trying to get it to start at the proper time.

As the angle of Authoring Works is an all in one solution, it would only make sense from an ease of use standpoint, to have the program take care of all the math involved with cutting out appropriate subtitles when a cut is made, and splitting the subtitles when splitting a clip, and making the corresponding time corrections (since each new clip restarts at 0:00:00)

Maybe I'm missing something.. I know you can delete chapters from clip sets and the clips still register, although the chapters don't.. Is there a way to apply to import a subtitle file, and correctly edit and time it using only the first clip, out of a group of files, that I haven't thought of? (i.e split a clip into 3 parts, and control the timing and subtitles from the first clip only?)

This has become increasingly frustrated when trying to make dual-audio DivX Ultra DVD's.

Here is what I do. Before I do any splitting, I add the subtitles and let TDA write out the files. I then use those files as the final source for my project. The subtitles are now part of the video stream and you can edit and split without getting them out of sync.

Do you know if it will keep those streams when you re-import them though? Because I ultimately like to make projects with Menus and whatnot, and I know already it doesn't recognize the second audio stream of a dual-audio source, even if outputed by TA4 and reimporting, or importing a TMPGenc Xpress 4 file.

i need to author a dvd movie with 3 audio streams and 3 subtitle streams, is TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 able to do that? if not , is there any TMPGEnc products able to cater my requirements?

Unfortunately, no. 2 audio and subtitle streams is the most you can do in Authoring Works 4 and no other TMPGEnc product can do more.

Hi to all. I would just like to add that, besides cuda enabled encoding, it would be nice to have the possibility of encoding video with both cpu and gpu at full speed, without offloading cpu, in order to maximize encoding speed. I wonder if tmpgenc is going toward this mode too.

I would like Movie style or another product you make to be able to transcode:

AVCHD files from Canon and Panasonic cameras.

From 1080 p (with pulldown from canon cameras at 24p)

From 1080 p (with native progressive frames at 24p from Panasonic HMC150 cameras)

Also many are having a great time editing footage from AVCHD at 1080 from all camcorders that are now shooting this file type due to the clips being seperated in 4 gig chuncks of footage.

It would be ice if Movie style could do a straight unchanged (or pull down removal only) cut edit to say i gig clips.

Better yet, to allow input to the clips meta data (but that is a wish not a need). Sequential numbering of the output files is a must.


Also the same would be desired for Panasonic MXF files from P2 cards.
We want full raster files not the DVCproHD non-square files, so something to convert DVCproHD into an AVCHD full raster clip divided at 1 gig segments.

One gig segments allows easier editing. It is hard to edit when the computer has to manage4 gig 1080 files.

Thanks

Have you checked out TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress? It's much more geared towards editing and encoding than MovieStyle is and it can do AVCHD input. I don't know if it can do all of the things you're describing, but it is probably the type of program you are looking for. They have a trial version in case you want to try it.

I have TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress
and i does not do this.

I have about 100 users looking to buy such software that can transcode these files.

Point taken, but I doubt MovieStyle will ever have cut-editing capabilities.

It is more likely that 4.0 XPress will be able to do the things you are asking for.

Does anyone here know how to set the moov atom at the beginning of an h.264 file to enable progressive download using a flash player? I have tried qt-faststart.c but it fails when I try to run it against an enc xpress generated mp4 file. I have scoured the internet but cannot find a tool that will get it moved.

Hi, I should create an avi with Divx 6.8 codec.
I read multipass (2 pass) is better than single pass generally.
Is it possible use multipass with Divx 6.8 and TMPGEnc 4.5 Xpress?
If it’s so, could someone tell me exactly what are the right steps to do it? When I arrive to select the divx codec then I can’t setting it for 2 pass.
One pass, yes I do.

Thanks

It sounds like you are using the AVI output format with the DivX 6.8 codec?

In the Format Stage, after you have selected AVI file output and DivX 6.8 as your codec, click on the "Settings..." button.

This opens a DivX Codec Properties window. Towards the bottom there is a section called "Rate control". Just select one of the "Multipass" options for rate control mode and that should do it.

Hi, yes exactly, I'm using the AVI output format with the DivX 6.8 codec.

I select "Multipass, 1st pass" but after the encode I get an useless small file.

If I select "Multipass, Nth pass" directly, I get a good file but there was no double pass, just one.

Where I wrong??



Thanks

Hmmm...you're right, it doesn't seem to do a 2nd pass with the multipass options.

You might want to use the integrated DivX encoder instead of the codec via AVI output. Select "DivX file output" instead of Avi file output in the Format stage. The integrated DivX encoder allows you to do 2 passes, and you can even do more than 2 passes in Advanced mode.

I tried using integrated DivX encoder, I saw, now it does multi pass but got a .divx extension file not avi file I wanted.


However if ther's no other way, thanks you to answered and helped me. Bye

I know this is an old reply, but for just FYI, a .divx file is same as an .avi file. You can either change the name manually, or better, just go to the options and tell Xpress to use .avi instead. Personally, I prefer leaving it at .divx because then I know at a glance which AVI files I have processed and which are still in their original form. :)

Adding LOGO suppot??

Not supported untiil now.
HG

It's really weird, there is a logo support for adding the TMPGEnc logo in the trial version... It would be REALLY useful to a lot of people. Please add logo support, please.

im converting AVCHD footage to images sequences so it could work with adobe premier etc... i have 158 .mts files, how do i make this converter convert each image sequence in a seperate folder? i dont want everything bunched together in one folder making it unorganized and hard to find

Hi! Is there some trick to decode/encode flv files in tmpgenc xpress 4.0?

Regards / Jimmy

You just need to install a codec pack. I recommend CCCP (http://www.cccp-project.net/). I've been using it for it for years.

Hi! Sometimes when I have problem with banding in encoded material I use to add a little noice to avoid the encoder to simplify areas. I wounder if it is possible to ADD noice?

Regards / Jimmy

Hi, I am facing a problem as in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 hangs at 95% while creating a DVD from a MKV file. There is no error displayed and the program doesnt respond.

Any idea how I can identify what the issue is?

TIA
