As a user I want to have easy to use presets for each encoder available to use.

I have good settings for x264.

These settings provide the best possible quality in my eyes with x264 without wasting CPU usage.

Bitrate is set for 1080p 30fps in this case.
Encoding with this settings take a while

Enable 2pass!

b=4000000 preset=slower profile=high rc=abr tune=film x264-params=aq-mode=2:rc-lookahead=60:bframes=3:b-adapt=2:b-pyramid=2:ref=5:direct=auto:direct-8x8=1:me=esa:merange=24:subme=10:trellis=2:no-dct-decimate=1:no-fast-pskip=1

I recommend to go a bit higher with the bitrate if your video has 60 FPS or if it's recorded gameplay.

I think this is waste of time. There is no best settings for everything. Settings depends on the source, target quality/bitrate, individual perception, and so on.

make sure you know exactly what these options are doing

People who knows what these options are doing do not need additional presets. People who don't knows - should use default encoder's presets or improve own knowledge about encoding and settings. You can open a new forum where people can share own settings and ask questions about encoders settings for their needs.

However, presets for different video hosting service like youtube or vimeo based on their recommendations may be useful. Or presets for different devices.

I have good settings for x264.

Code

b=4000000 preset=slower profile=high rc=abr tune=film x264-params=aq-mode=2:rc-lookahead=60:bframes=3:b-adapt=2:b-pyramid=2:ref=5:direct=auto:direct-8x8=1:me=esa:merange=24:subme=10:trellis=2:no-dct-decimate=1:no-fast-pskip=1

Preset slower already includes: rc-lookahead=60, b-adapt=2, direct=auto, trellis=2. You do not need these options. bframes=3 is default for x264 - it also can be omitted. Setting ref to 5 you should increase level to 5.0, because level 4.2 for 1080p allow only 4 ref frames. This is about hardware compatibility.

All these about knowledge what these options are doing...

I set rc-lookahead=60, b-adapt=2, direct=auto, trellis=2 because in the Voukoder UI these settings didn't change when selecting preset slower. I have never said that I want hardware compatibility with these settings and level will be set automatic by x264

Pretty much every new device can play videos with that level.

because in the Voukoder UI these settings didn't change when selecting preset slower

It is another issue and this shouldn't be reflected on presets for encoders.

Zitat von Vogelforscher

I have never said that I want hardware compatibility with these settings

I want. But your preset is not compatible for my needs. What I should to do?

Zitat von Vouk

But its good you guys are discussing and improving the presets.

I am here is not for discussing presets options. I show you that presets are mostly useless. Not you nor me is guru in options. This situation will produce even more useless presets and you can not control it - example is above - you have added a quite strange preset.

Also, you are not responded to my first message in this topic. Who will use your custom presets? It is more important then a lot of opened and even not responded bugs and feature requests?

Zitat von Vouk

Then why are you posting to this topic?

To stop you from doing a mistake. I thought it was obvious...

Zitat von Vouk

they just want to have a good video on YouTube

Just create a preset for youtube as I proposed above. However about what we are talking. You are completely ignore my preposition, bugs and feature requests.

Zitat von Vouk

I am not your paid developer. You will not decide what I am working on.

I am not your paid tester also. My time (as a lot of people who wrote feedback and waiting for you for months) costs too. I suppose it would my last feedback on this project. In Spite of you are doing a great job in general, you are not always ready to listen.

Zitat von Digeridoo

You are not ready to listen

Vouk is the leader and the only developer of this plugin, it's his child. He owes nothing to anyone, he listens to what he wants ; It's the rule, even if it's not your choices, like me you have to accept it.

I'm wondering what problem that can have to have a preset for Youtube even for those who will not use it ?

I understand the intention to have a solution of a simpler UI for those who do not master all these parameters many of which do not really have an impact on the export. This way is also chosen by many software.

To clarify...

I am strictly against the following and think that it is a mistake:

- integration of user's presets;

- integration of presets like High Quality / Low quality and so on.

Such presets are not standardized - results can vary depending on many things.

Instead of this, I proposed to add only standardized presets, like:

- youtube, vimeo and so on;

- device specific (mobile phones, tablets, tv, etc.)

- maybe some other standards.

For simplifications of UI can be used another methods:

- encoders have a lot of options which should be never touches until you know what are you doing. So such complex for the user and unnecessary options should be hidden from user (Simple and Advanced mode of UI).

- wizard for the settings where user can choose what he wants as a desirable result.

You can accept it or not. THE END.

Zitat von MyPOV

you have to accept it

I always have a choice and more than one.

well, mine is

X264:

--level 5.1 --crf 16 --threads 0 --deblock 1:0 --bframes 16 --b-adapt 2 --ref 16 --qpmax 60 --rc-lookahead 60 --aq-mode 2 --aq-strength 0.7 --merange 32 --me umh --direct auto --subme 10 --trellis 2 --no-fast-pskip

x265:

--crf 16 --deblock 1:0 --bframes 10 --ref 8 --merange 44 --ctu 32 --me 3 --max-merge 4 --rdpenalty 2 --no-strong-intra-smoothing --rd 5 --rdoq-level 1 --limit-refs 0 --tu-inter-depth 3 --tu-intra-depth 3 --max-tu-size 16 --subme 5

but voukoder doesn't allow me to change reframes in x265.

Greetings to your friends I would like to ask you for help.

You could write me the best settings at 30fps and 60fps for 2K so 2560x1440. I want videos at 28 Mbps

I want to use Encoder video: NVENC hvenc

30fps I need for my camera

60fps I need for my gaming videos

I don't know the other settings at all, so I don't know what to set next.

Videos I want to publish on Youtube page

Thank you very much for your help

It would be good to make a bitrate calculator. Like parameters in AME. Bitrate min, max, ect. I have already determined which values are suitable for me but I do not understand how to apply them here. (Sorry for the bad English).
