Looking back
It's been more than a year since I wrote the first lines of code of an "x264 encoder plugin for premiere" in april 2017.
At first it was just a proof of concept and a personal challenge like: Am I able to build something that could replace the whole slow and unstable frameserver toolchain to have my favorite encoders directly available in premiere? No frameserver? No commandline tools? No encoder frontends? Maybe I could even schedule exporter jobs in Media Encoder with it? - What a nice dream.
I accepted that challenge and I have learned alot! Especially in the first months, as I never wrote any C or C++ programs before - really! Not a single one. Having the proof of concept out people asked for more: More encoders. More muxers. More parameters, features and bugfixes - and the project got bigger, more popular and the download count is still rising. By today we have more than 7100 downloads! Unbelievable at that time.
Looking forward
Voukoder in version 1.0 is pretty much stable and does include lots of encoders and nice features. But this is just the beginning. I started working on Voukoder 2.0 already and there will be some interesting improvements:
- Voukoder gets its own UI (based on QT)
- Supporting other NLEs / Tools (make a wish!)
- Everything can be translated
- ...
Support
Reaching version 1.0 was alot of work and pretty time consuming. I have spent many hours and days after my regular work to get this working, features added and bugs fixed. And getting to version 2.0 won't be less work.
It would be great if you consider becoming a patron on http://patreon.com/voukoder or send a donation using paypal. One of my goals is to work less in my regular job and more on the Voukoder. That would really be nice.
I am also looking for a sponsor for test equipment (specifially GPUs) so I am able to test all the different encoders on different hardware.
Thank you
I'd like to send out my thanks to everyone helping me to get this far. May it have been with testing, discussions, programming, donations or just by making the project more popular.
Thanks to all the component developers like for AMF, FDK-AAC, FFMPEG, FFNVCODEC, LAME, LIBOGG, LIBVORBIS, LIBVPX, OPUS, X264, X265, ZIMG and CURL.
Special thanks go out to "Schaui" for helping me in many ways and believing in the project since almost the beginning. (You woulnd't have NVENC without him!)
