Question - Convert HDR to SDR - color problem. No.71547
Bullhead  2020-07-19 18:39:55 ( ID:ofa1wh4jsk6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TVMW7 - convert HDR source to any output SDR format - no problem. BUT. Colors. Default change ColorProfile not correctly recompute colorspace. Colors in SDR video from HDR source is faded. I tested "Color Correction" filter, but any setting not correctly set SDR color.

Is any possibility correctly recompute colors when convert HDR source do SDR destination in TVME7?

thanks for info
B.

How my fault!:-) In EDIT page is needed use COLOR MANAGMENT page, and then in FORMAT page COLOR PROFILE page. Eee on two places same information/settings but OK. Colors after HDR to SDR conversion is "aggressive", but i test TONE MAPPING.

= all is ok:-)


Bullhead  2020-08-15 18:41:49 ( ID:ihigapn18/2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

After many many days of experiments and many many days of encoding - HDR to SDR conversion in TVMW7 not work corretly/very bad implementation. Colors always "burn out". I check HDR source (2160p and 1080p) on HDR display, SDR source (2160p and 1080p) on SDR/HDR display and compare with reencoded HDR to SDR in TVMW7 (2160p and too 1080p) - colors always "unreal" and brightness to high (always). Small details destroyed. Yes i check many combinations of WorkingColorSpace, ToneMapping and Maximum Luminance, combinations of input Working Color Space (primaries and transfer) and Color profile - nothing correct this. And filter "Color Correction" too useless.

Result:
TVMW7 encoding HDR do SDR - Perfect
TVMW7 encoding SDR to SDR - Perfect
TVMW7 encoding HDR to SDR - Inapplicable:-(

...i check others SW (FFMPEG, RipBoot264 etc.) and result:
- conversion BT2020(HDR) to BT709(SDR) in *ALL(!)* others sw WITHOUT PROBLEM
- conversion BT2020(HDR) to BT709(SDR) in VMW7 just NOT WORK:-(

All other freeware(!) SW corretly transfer colors, in paid VMW7 color
burnt out, detail lost etc.:-(((

B.

p.s. ...example for working conversion:
"c:\Program Files\FFmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "<x>:\<source>" -vf zscale=t=linear:npl=100,format=gbrpf32le,zscale=p=bt709,tonemap=tonemap=hable:desat=0,zscale=t=bt709:m=bt709:r=tv,format=yuv420p -c:v libx265 -crf 18 -preset faster -map 0 -c:a copy "<x>:\<target>"

= first encoding in FFMPEG (convert BT2020 to BT709), second encoding in VMW7 to final format - this is not a long-term solution:-(((

You need the correct LUT files (.cube) for being able to open and show HDR videos correctly.
I have a source for such a place:
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Info-Guide-for-Working-with-4K-HDR-Blu-ray-Rips-in-SDR/id/74681
In the bottom of that guide, there you can find and download his LUT files.

Those you just download and copy to a folder, example called LUT, at the same place that TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 7 is installed:
C: => Programs => Pegasys inc

When then wanting to use one of the LUT's, then after opening the video, then under Video Properties, find the word LUT and click on Settings.
Then choose Import File and find the location where you put the LUT's, choose one and then open the LUT.

One specific i just had a lot of success with is the one named: Rec2020ToRec709_CSTCreativeSW
Using that one and making some small adjustments to Contrast, Gamma and Chroma, i was able to create a PERFECT 1080p standard video as MP4 out of HDR versions of WandaVision.

Suggest also saving the adjustments you made to Contrast, Gamma and Chroma as a new template, so you don't have to do these adjustments each time you work with a HDR video.

In my limited experience so far, I find that TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works maps the HDR video to SDR quite well, but with a tendency to burn out the highlights with some tone mapping options.
We have 7 options for tone mapping: Disabled, Hard Clipping, and Soft Clipping at 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90%. I wish I knew exactly what these settings mean, but in practice, with my data, they all give quite similar results, with the Disabled and Hard Clip more inclined to show a blown out white as slightly pink. The 50% Soft Clipping gives the best result and seems to be about optimum for my material. However, it would be nice to have lower values available, such as 40%, in case some scenes needed it. Some control over the shape of the softening curve may also be useful.
A histogram display with the ability to move independently any shadow hump or highlight hump, left or right, along the tone scale axis would be good.
I don’t have anything to show the histogram of HDR video, but it could be that other videos have more pixels in the high-level range, and that may be the reason for Bullhead’s poor experience.
A simple manipulation of the tone mapping curve is of course not the only way to compress dynamic range. A better approach would be some sort of scene analysis that first breaks the picture up into objects, or into shade and well-lit regions, with feathering of the boundaries between them. It seems to me that the Shadow/Highlight adjustment in Adobe software has some elements of this approach. LightMachine is a plugin for Photoshop that certainly does that for images.
As an example to illustrate the limits of simple tone mapping, consider a building with its façade partly in shade and partly in full sun. Let the wall be painted, say, a light brown, with the trim around the doors and windows painted a dark brown, which happens to be the same colour as the part of the wall that is in shade. Now, if you attempt to soften the shadow on the wall by increasing the brightness of all pixels that have the shadowed wall colour, the trim around the doors and windows that are in sunlight will also be lightened erroneously. Lightmachine attempts to solve that problem by identifying large darkish areas as shade and ignoring smaller objects that have the same darkness. It doesn’t do a perfect job of course!



Question - TVMW7 and 2 (or more) audio tracks (NOT BILINGUAL) No.71522
Bullhead  2020-07-09 05:40:02 ( ID:ds5wrg5sn/a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TVMW7 not support more audio tracks? NOT BILINGUAL. Just simply more audio track - e.g. English DD 5.1 and Japan DD 5.1 in MKV.

Real example:
-------------
- I have 4k MKV movie with English DD 5.1 and Japan DD 5.1
- I need re-encode to 480p MKV (for daughter players) WITH BOTH TRACKS
- In Timeline mode, if I add (layer1) only video, (layer2) audio track 1 and (layer3) audio track 2, TVMW7 “combine” both sound (in both possible output – Timeline output and All track Timeline output)
- in Normal mode I tested may combinations, one possibility is add 3x same movie, in first disable in clip properties audio, in second disable video, in third disable video and switch to second 5.1 channel – after Encode to “Individual clips” TVMW7 create three MKV, in all video and audio, in first video and no functional audio, in second no functional video and functional audio track 1 and in third no functional video and functional audio track 2 – I must merge this in another SW in correct MKV.

Question:
---------
Is possible in TVMW7 simply re-encode video with 2 audio track file to another video with 2 audio track file?


tkrave  2020-07-14 05:25:39 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TVMW7 does not support multiple audio tracks as far as I know. Would be nice though since it's possible with many formats.

Request - Set clip split points when in Filters view No.71499
mikemcc  Home )  2020-06-25 17:00:34 ( ID:tzaqww2udtc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

A very common requirement is to crop letterboxed wide-screen videos to make them 16:9 full-screen.
First we crop the black from top and bottom.
Then we have to crop left and right to maintain the same aspect ratio and avoid distortion. The amount cropped from left and/or right depends on the content - the most important part of the video is not always in the center.
So the video has to be split into many short clips.
So we slowly play the video in "Filters" view, displaying the output area guide lines, to identify where the cropping has to change.
But to add each clip split point, we have to:
- return to "Cut edit" view
- set the split point
- return to "Filters" view.
So please just display an "set split point" button to the "Filters" screen.
(Resetting split points can be done in "Cut edit" view if that is easier for you)



Request - View edits and channel fade No.71480
jxp  2020-06-03 05:19:29 ( ID:rdlzrzhzabk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've been using Video Mastering for years to do simple editing and encoding with great success.
I've just started a more complex project and have thought of two (hopefully simple) enhancements to improve the product.

* View Edits option. When you have several edits on a long clip it would be useful to view and change the edits. The Edit Menu could include a Show Edits option which would show the whole (unedited) clip with split points for each edit. The edits would be orange and the kept footage would be blue. (I realise the undo option is available, but this is only for the current session and only in order of the edits)
* Channel specific audio fade in/out. It would be nice to fade out certain channels (with more noise), but keep other channels. It would also be useful to be able to listen to the channels individually. At the moment this needs to be done in a separate application and re-attached as an extra clip

Hello.

I know this issue was from a while back, but were you ever able to find a solution? I'm suddenly receiving nearly the same message with TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer and haven't been able to find a fix.

Thanks.


longtimeuser  2023-08-24 21:10:21 ( ID:olnnrs6r9va )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

As of this morning, I am also receiving the same error when I launch Smart Renderer 5. Difference is that my software has been installed for several years and was working as recently as yesterday. Virus scans show nothing wrong and I've not modified anything on my machine recently. Yesterday OK, today broken.



Question - Placing an Audio gram on top of a video No.71461
fwibbler  2020-04-22 23:10:17 ( ID:tpn.msd/lpa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

Is it possible to place an Audiogram (I think thats what its called) on top of a video with TMPG Mastering works 7?
What would be the best way of doing it so it matches the audio of the movie?

Many thanks.
Graham


tkrave  2020-04-24 13:08:36 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm not really sure what you mean about "audiogram" but you can put any audio file overlaid on a video track using the Timeline editing mode.

It works like layers in Photoshop, where you can put any audio/video on top of other audio/video files.

Question - Using mastering works on Gopro videos No.71456
Ghost Rider  2020-04-19 08:47:15 ( ID:j5vig.rzsum )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello forum members,

Last year I demoed and bought Video Authoring work 6 and today I am demoing Mastering works.

I make Goprp mountain bike videos. Mostly for myself I am looking to improve the video. I have a Gopro Hero 5 and I know upgrading to a hero 7 might be the biggest improvement. For the time being I am recording in 1080 at 60fps. I then opened and trimmed each file in VMW7 and ran the stabilizing filter at the default setting. I batch processed the analyzing processed. This is more of a test run. I did use the filter on one video to see if I could tell.

Can anyone give suggestions on other settings and filters that may improve my videos?


tkrave  2020-04-24 13:03:26 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It's hard to say without seeing the source footage. There are some more artistic things you can do though, like adjusting the color balance to make colors pop more, or do black and white/sepia effects. There are quite a few filters that can create some neat effects like the glitch noise filter.

Remember that the default list of filters is not the full list; you can edit the list to see all of the filters available.

epicenter800  2020-04-05 05:03:04 ( ID:5nlqqa1rihr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello, is there a way to replace a few seconds of video with say a jpeg still without losing the audio from the video? I would like to use a title page while the audio from the video is playing and then fade into the original video display. Thanks!


tkrave  2020-04-10 04:44:05 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Go to Timeline mode and put your image(s) on a separate layer above your video.

Question - Commercial Candidates Detector No.71444
DennisH  2020-03-18 03:52:39 ( ID:anadtyd6gmr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Does anyone know where this stores the results?
I use this a lot and recently went to re-edit a video from some time ago. When I ran the Detector it finished immediately showing results. It must have got these from when I last edited the video, some weeks ago. I must have accumulated a large collection of these old Detections somewhere. I'd like to delete them.



Question - Having trouble with audio stream No.71432
Snoopy329  2020-02-19 07:08:15 ( ID:jhjdqv.0acr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

So, I am importing a video file (in MKV format) into Works 7 which has 2 audio tracks. For some reason, I am getting 1 audio track imported. I am new to this so maybe I am missing something. Any suggestions?


DennisH  2020-03-18 03:55:52 ( ID:anadtyd6gmr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When you've loaded the video file go into the 'Clip Properties'. Here you can select the other audio stream.


Nrgte  2020-06-29 23:04:22 ( ID:7q.axe2ovzm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I cannot see this property, is this a new thing? I'm still on TVMW6.


Bullhead  2020-07-09 07:46:06 ( ID:ds5wrg5sn/a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

…I have same problem, My opinion – TVMW7 support only one audio track:-(

@DennisH – in “Clip Properties” is possibility select only ONE track, no more track at the same time



Question - Create ISO No.71431
crg223  2020-02-16 14:24:43 ( ID:jnpwrp/pdr6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Which product do I need in order to create an ISO that I can then use with imgburn to burn DVDs and blu rays? I downloaded the trial version of Video Mastering Works 7, but that looks more like an editing program, like Adobe Premiere. What I need is not an Adobe Premiere but an Adobe Encore, in effect. Does this or any other tmpgenc product create ISOs?


tkrave  2020-02-20 15:30:19 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Check out TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6. It's their DVD/Blu-ray authoring software. You can output a DVD or Blu-ray project and then convert into an ISO with the included tools.
