2025-01-29 15:53:37 (error) [Router.cpp:161] Open phase failed: -11Did you configure a custom output file name in your output node?
Try using the default file name, don't override it. It must have a valid absolute file path, file name and file extension, 'Hunger at Home - Prores' is not valid.
It seems there are permissioning issues with your target directory.
Can you try to export it to you desktop only?
Please rename it to 2025-01-29_15-53-36.txt and try again.
Can you try one of the latest FFmpeg installers and see if this has been fixed there?
Please also perform a scene test and check the log results in there.
I've added the log file extension.
Can you please post a scene test result? or a log file?
I've started with converting the iAvoe presets for the x264 encoder. Import them with "Scene" > "Import ..." to the Designer App and "Scene" > "Save as ..." to your local drive.
I'd try to go the other way around. Using bitrates as rate control limitation is a rather old way of doing this.
In your case I'd use this settings:
First, lower the quality value until it looks good and then increase the B-Frames value (Bf) and the (G) value to get a smaller file size.
I'll investigate that.
I'll add more input streams.
Edit: I have changed it to 10 inputs now. The ultimate goal would be it adapts to the currently assigned inputs and there'd be always one more free input.
Please take a look at the Quickstart section in the documentation. It will be continuousely updated.
Did you install FFmpeg? Which variant/package of it did you install?
AV1 is not supported on your GPU. It requires an RTX 40xx.
Well -1 means AUTO so that should work too.
Maybe you can export your scene and send it to me? Perhaps you're talking about the color subsampling?

Please use GPU=0
Then don't set your format to CUDA in the encoder properties.
Yes, it requires at least version 551.76.
Looks like you're trying to export with the format cuda. This is not necessary if you just want to encode with the GPU. Just select i.e. yuv420p as format.
If you want to intentionally use cuda it'd requires you to upload frames from the PC memory to the GPU device first (using the upload filter), then apply a chain of NVIDIA filters, and then process it with the encoder (This still has to be documented).
