To copy clips to another layer or project, the clipboard will do the job. However, when pasting to the new location, they are always out of order. The sequence of the clips get scrambled and I have to go rearrange them again. Is there a fix for this?

The only solution I found is to select each clip individually (ctrl + click) in the order you want them to be in.

Using shift + click will never give you the correct order unless you want them to be in reverse order (see finding #2 below).

My other findings:
1. Using shift + click to select the first and last clip (if you're doing an entire sequence) results in the second-to-last clip being first and vice-versa, with every clip in between in reverse order. Only the last clip remains in the proper order.
2. Using shift + click to select the last clip and then the first clip results in a sort of correct order upon pasting; the clips appear in reverse order starting with the clip you first selected.
3. Selecting the second clip in a layer and then selecting a later clip with shift + click seems to automatically select the first clip as well, but the pasting results are still our of order similar to finding #1.

I have authoring works and considering purchasing video mastering works. My question is can the two applications share the same proxy file and if so how can it be done.

I record movies for TV and then edit the commercials:

1. Make a DVD for later use.

2. Make a File for my Apple TV

3. make a File for IPAD

From my tests, TAW5 and TVMW5 can share proxy files, but they won't auto-detect them, so you'll have to create them twice (once in each program).

The end result is that there is a single proxy file that they will both recognize.

So I have to spend an hour or two in each application creating what esentually is the same proxy file.

If I have a different directory for each application and I copy the proxy file and then go to create will it see the file and use it rather then create a new one. just trying to safe some time if possible.

Still playing with the trial version of video mastering to see if it's easier to create the files for my apple TV and Ipad. Currently edit the show create a DVD and then Rip it to the format. Some times i get audio out of sync with the movie.

Thanks for your answer though :-)

When importing a file I have two TS files to select from even though i am only selecting one file. Is there a difference between the two ?????

Is one listed as Playlist and the other Program? If they both look the same, it won't matter which one you choose.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the Program files are the actual AV data on the disc. The Playlist files reference the Program files, but can differ since they have the ability to reference certain sections of the program files instead of the entire program file. That's why TAW5 will display both, in case the playlist files have a different composition than the program file.

I rending to Blu ray format and then use writing tool to make blu ray ISO.
I use daemon tool lite for mount ISO and open with cyberlink power dvd 11.
Cyberlink power dvd have error massage "disk not support"

How to????????

Cyberlink does not support daemon tools. They do not allow you to use virtual drives anymore because of piracy. Sorry but you are going to have to use some other software.

Indeed the policy of PowerDVD has changed over time, but it IS still possible to create and play ISO files.
The most important thing is the folder structure of your Blu-Ray disc before you make it an ISO.
There must be 2 folders: BDMV and CERTIFICATE.
The certificate folder must be empty!
The BDMV Folder MUST contain the following 8 folders (they can be empty, but MUST be there)
AUXDATA, BACKUP, BDJO, CLIPINF, JAR, META, PLAYLIST, STREAM
The BACKUP Folder MUST contain the following 4 folders:
BDJO, CLIPINF, JAR, PLAYLIST

Only if you have this structure you can make this into an ISO which you then can mount with a mount program (virtual clonedrive is a free one) and PowerDVD 10-11-12 will see it as a playable disc.

Hope this helps some people

There have been times when I want to re-encode the video, but not the audio. I think it would be nice if there was a feature that allows you to just 'copy' the audio rather than re-encoding it.

For example, I have some video's that I recorded from my Panasonic HDC-HS900 that are 1080p at 60fps with Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) and I'd like to re-encode it to 1080p 30fps, but just copy the audio as-is into an MKV file. That way hopefully I wouldn't loose any sound quality by re-encoding it.

Sometimes just copying the video and audio codecs to a different container is nice too, like copying the h.264 video and the AC3 audio from the MTS file to MKV.

Yes, nice feature. Not modify audio and recode video and viceversa.

But at this moment you can recode only video and extract audio, and after multiplex 2 files in a MKV container (Advanced Tools/Mpeg Tool/Multiplexer).

Would be a good feature too add audio gap tool to Multiplexer tool, because you can correct the audio delay...

I could not find a way to set PAL by default for all my projects, did I overlook something ?

I don't think there is a way. You just have to remember to click PAL at the Start window.

A couple of days back, I rushed to put a long AVI (DV) video to DVD and forgot to click PAL....result, the movie plays stuttering (due to 25 to 30 fps conversion) :( ...and of course, I erased the AVI file before I realized that :( :( :(

Hello,

we are considering buying VMW 5 since the program produces great quality and is easy to use.

I'd like to request OpenCL support though since it's more open than CUDA and it's getting more and more evolved.

Thank you & kind regards

The OpenCL support has been discussed above... Would be interesting to have OpenCL support and to use any graphics card.


Regards, Alkermes.

Thanks Alkermes!

Sorry, didn't see the mentioned discussion.

I am sorry but not is a real disscusion, they are several threads of Tmpgenc users that want AMD Stream or OpenCL support ;-)

I think the best option is offer OpenCL support instead of CUDA and Stream support separately, but this is a decision of Pegasys...

Regards, Alkermes.

Totally agree.
OpenCL should be preferred over CUDA.
Didn't hear about AMD Stream before :P

Sorry to ask this if it has already been addressed.

Any suggestions on making timelapse videos using TMPGEnc 5? I have several hundred JPEGs I would like to assemble together into a timelapse video. Each photo will be one frame/30 photos per second.

1. Import using "From pictures as slideshow". The problem with this approach - the minimum display time for each photo is 1 second. Even using the framerate filter set to max. of 1000% produces 10fps which does not look smooth. I could reencode a 2nd time with the framerate set to 300%, however this is not an efficient workflow and I'll lose quality with the double video encode.

2. Import the photos in timeline mode, then manually go through hundreds of photos setting the interval to 00:00:00.03 . However, once again, this is a very inefficient workflow, plus the frame rate interval actually needs to be 0.033333 for a smooth framerate.

I don't have any other ideas. Suggestions anyone?

I don't think there is an easy way to do it currently. It looks like you've tried everything available in the program.

They would either need to increase the speed filter limit to 3333% or above, or allow durations into the one hundred thousandths of a second range.

On the framerate, as a general improvement I think Pegasys should allow us to specify any framerate - I am continually bumping up against 1000%. Also personally I would find a multiplier 0.75 (75%), 1.0 (100%), 10.0 (1000%), 30.0 (3000%) somewhat more intuative to work with.
Also on my wishlist, the ability to slide the framerate smoothly between 2 values using a timeline FX filter.

every time I try to input a .mpv file windows closes the program. I can import a dvd from a folder I just can't import a demuxed video file

I have done this in the past countless times
running Win7 64-bit

Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
8gb memory
over 1tb of HD space

solved! everytime I started the prog it told me quicktime wasn't installed
I ignored it and the prog crashed everytime I tried to import ac3 or mpv
for a motion menu

installed quicktime and didn't have anymore problems

How to use TAW5,When internet down.
Some day.Internet is not good.I can't use TAW5.How to solve problem.

I am trying to create a Bluray. Have added all source files (14)but the Menu button is not active. Only the Start & Source buttons are active. I have even reduced the number of source files but still does not work.

I have downloaded the latest update but still nothing.

HELP

What kind of files are you trying to author and make menus for? I know that, when I use ArcSoft Showbiz to capture, if I capture in TS or M2TS mode, I can make menus, but (as I recall...) if I capture MP4 files, I cannot create a menu in TAW-4.

Very odd. Can you post a screenshot?
