Would it be possible to perform audio fade-ins and fade-outs just before and after the edit points within a clip without re-encoding all the audio of the clip. Often, the audio at such places can be loud and sudden due to broadcasters' desire to make more room for commercials, even to the point of eliminating the original fade-ins and fade-outs.
Currently, I manually do both of the above by placing three copies of each clip in a row, trimming the first down to ~1500 ms and introducing an audio fade-in, the 2nd by 1500 ms at both beginning and end, and the third to ~1500 ms and introducing a audio fade-out.
Improving it further, could you add the ability to introduce a silent blank filler gap at the edit points of user-selectable length? The result, audio fades and blank filler gap in the middle makes for a more professional looking result but does take a lot more time when done manually.
I'd like to know how do I add 5.1 PCM (24bit - 48kHz) audio to a Bluray. What format must the audio be in?
I can create multichannel WAV, but only up to 4 GB in size, this means they can only be about 80 min long. Is there another uncompressed format I can use?
Also, must the channel layout be fixed? I always use L R C Lf Ls Rs.
Subtitles. In my opinion these need a serious update.
1. to be able to import srt subtitles and retain ITALICS information. This is very important for professional authoring. Italic subtitles are used to denote songs or off-screen dialogue. They could be assigned another style and the user chooses how they look.
2. Forced subtitles system. For pro authoring it is important to be able to play forced subtitles for each language, without having to select anything. If a certain audio language is selected, the corresponding forced subtitles track plays automatically, without option to disable.
Hi,
As a request: to be able to load dts and dolby TrueHD audio. I'm not asking for your software to encode in these formats, I understand there are licensing issues. I just want to add for example a .mlp (TrueHD) file I have encoded myself. I even don't mind if I can't preview (prehear) it. Just to be able to multiplex it into the Bluray.
That would be awesome.
I'm trying to add background music to all menus. I have a 5 min. long ac3. I managed to add it to a single menu screen. But my idea is that the same music plays continously in all menus, without breaks. Is this possible?
Thank you!
Not possible. Each menu is made up of a separate movie file, so each time a different menu is loaded, it will start from the beginning of the movie file. This is also how commercial DVDs work.
This is to report a new problem with TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 and MPEG Smartrender 4. I have been attempting to correct a problem for the past week with all my video software converters (4 different software programs).
I upgraded to a new Nvidia Series 700 graphics card a couple weeks ago and lost all my CUDA functionaliy in four different software packages. After a lot of troubleshooting with the card manufacturer, I learned the new driver, specifically the new 340 release broke all my video conversion software and I was unable to enable CUDA acceleration on any of the software. See the manufacturers explanation below:
I had to uninstall the new driver and reload the older v337.88 firmware. After backing off the new firmware upgrade, everything is back to normal and everything is working correctly. CUDA is back!
Hi Dennis,
CUDA support for some video encoder software was removed in the recent 340 release drivers in favour of the newer NVENC acceleration. Unfortunately, this means that to enable CUDA support for your software, you will need to roll back to a previous driver revision, wait for a vendor software update, or use a modified driver that re-enables CUDA support.
Hello,
Today I downloaded and installed the latest version 5.5.1.106 and also updated to the latest nvidia geforce drivers 340.52. Now cuda is broken and is not even an option in the encoder drop down list. I have it enabled in the options and have tried the optimization many times and it just won't work. I have tried reinstalling the program and the nvidia drivers with no success, also tried going back to the previous version and nvidia drivers. I've also tried different videos, some 1080P and others 720P, mp4 and wmv. It worked great before I updated...WTF is going on?
I couldn't get CUDA to work with the newest version. I had to uninstall and go back to 5.5.0.105 and geforce 337.88 drivers, but at least its working again.
Still running 5.5.0.105 with CUDA but now I have found another problem. None of the file naming options for the output folder/file work so I have to manually rename the output file. In The options menu I have it set to "Number_Clip Name.Extension" and it used to add a "00_" to each original filename however it no longer works and I have to change it manually or choose to overwrite the original file. I'm starting to get really frustrated and can't believe how buggy this program is.
Well I'm not sure what I did or how I did it but I'm now running version 5.5.1.106 with geforce 337.88 drivers and have CUDA working and I also figured out the file renaming problem I was having. I'm not gonna worry about updating the geforce drivers for now, probably wait for the next release and try it then.
So, this new program why can open .TAW5 project? I can't believe I have to start again from the beginning with a finished project with taw5.
it's no compatible with true hd audio, i hope an update
which includes both, and maybe more customizable, such as the DVD
that you can put IMG and side by:

part B

I'd like to ask if you could please add the possibility to create 10-bit encodes with the x264 encoder. 10-bit encodes can help to save space and also to reduce banding compared to regular 8-bit x264 encodes. This is especially important when encoding animes.
I have 2 personal computers. Bad: 1 4-core CPU Core I7, 64G RAM. Not bad: 4 32-core CPU Xeon, 1T RAM. Creating a different duration of BD of only 2 times. What's the matter ? This Windows or TMPGEnc ?
Seeking advice on how to use TMPGEnc VMW5 to change tint of 45 min MKV video clips from a cold blue tint to a warmer more yellow tint and possibly make it a bit sharper while keeping a similar small file size (250 MB or slightly larger)
The video clips are 45 min MKV approx 250 MB.
I am not strong on video formats but Freemake indicates that the specs of the clips are:
For changing the tint, you will probably need to use a color correction filter on your video. Go to the Edit stage and double-click your clip to open the editing window. Go to the Filter tab and click on the color correction filter, then adjust the color until it is suitable to your tastes.
As for output, size will depend on the format and bitrate among other things. I suggest using the same format as the source file, H.264, and you can probably use the same bitrates as well.
Another question:
How do I queue and process a number of video clips and edit them with the same color correction settings without joining them together?
You can save your filter settings as a template, then apply them to other clips.
You can also set a filter template as your default filter settings, so that when you start a new project, any clips added will have that filter setting applied automatically. You can change the default filter template in the preferences.
Thanks for tips tk.
Can you give the keystroke steps to save a template of a file colour edit and how to queue and automatically progressively process a number of similar files applying the saved template. What is the batch tab and how do you use it?

- In the Filter tab of the cut editing window, set up your filter settings as you want.
- Click on "Save the template" (or Alt + S) to save your filter settings as a filter template file.
- After saving the file, leave the cut editing window by clicking the "OK" button. Remember where you saved your file!
- The best way to apply a filter template to multiple files is to set it as the default filter setting. Do this by going to Options-->Preferences-->Clip editing-->Clip default settings. Under "Default filter template," select your filter template file and click "OK" to exit the preferences.
- Now start a new project (in Normal Mode) and add all of the video clips you'd like to apply the filters to. Once your clips are added, the filters are applied automatically thanks to the default filter settings you just set.
- In the Format stage, for "File output mode", select "Output each clip as a separate file".
- Go the Encode stage and click on the "Encode" button to output the clips to the selected folder.
You can also do this in Timeline mode, just put each clip on a separate layer and output each layer separately.
To output a single layer, click on the "S" button for the layer you want to output. This makes it so all other layers are invisible.
Then select your format and go to the Encode stage and use the "Add Batch" button to use the Batch Tool instead of the "Export" button to save time.
The Batch Tool allows you to add multiple outputs to the batch list and then output them one after the other. This way, you don't have to wait around for an output to finish before outputting another file; it just goes to the next one automatically.
