Next year the upgrade for VEGAS Pro will be an update in the Voukoder Pro installer.

This year ... I'll work something out to give you all access to VEGAS Pro 23 asap.

Strange, i have changed it that it is always progressive UNLESS you set it to top/lower field first. It should solve this issue.

I guess VEGAS Pro would send it in with merged fields as progressive frame(s) to Voukoder Pro anyway.

Did you try setting it to top field first or bottom field first or even progressive? Did that work?

These options are support for mapping it to FFmpeg in Voukoder Pro.

Maybe i shouldn't map this automatically at all? Mmmmhhhh...

What Voukoder Pro did you try to install?

• Voukoder Pro 2.0.14
  • => This needs FFmpeg 7.x
• Voukoder Pro 2026 BETA
  • => This needs FFmpeg 8.x

Does the Designer work with beta3?

This error is actually misleading. It complains that no interlace type has been set (-1). Can you check what type you have set in your project? Upper first, lower first or progressive?

Please note: I have updated the license algorithm in the beta 3 version. If it is not working anymore please request a new beta license code.

Info: The VEGAS Pro 23 update for Voukoder Pro 2.x can be found here.

Can you please paste the logfile after the render crashes?

Edit: I can reproduce it now. Same error message here.

Can you please run this small tool and post the generated result? https://www.voukoder.org/forum/thread/1616

People with having issues not seeing Voukoder Pro listed in VEGAS Pro 23 should please run this tool and paste the full result - including with a brief error description - in this forum https://www.voukoder.org/forum/board/47 or send it do me personally to daniel@voukoder.org . A user once reported the active users locale (region and language) could cause this.

First, good that is shown in VEGAS Pro.

Second. did you try to run the standalone designer app? Or, did to try to start in from within VEGAS Pro? Or both?

I'll write a test program that'll check all settings that are relevant on your system.

Get it back to the state where you were able to render with Voukoder Pro 2026 and you where getting 0% progress. Then copy the logfile here.

Do you see it here?

You have to check the "Show all formats" checkbox:

Documentation (In progress) - Voukoder Pro

The beta license is for free and valid until the end of the year. You need to buy an update after it, or you can continue using version 2

Some formats / muxers support not all codecs. In Voukoder this is hardcoded. Voukoder Pro let's FFmpeg the decision what codec can be used for which muxer. Give it a try with a free trial license.

2026.0.0 - 2025-09-15

Release 2026-Beta1

This is the first beta release of the new Voukoder Pro 2026 (or 3.0.0). I have decided to include the year to indicate it'll be an annual release.

• Important! Don't use this version on a production system! This version may include various severe bugs! I hope to find all of them that's why I depend on your feedback. Please report any found bugs here. Please also report if everything is working for you.
• You also need to update your FFmpeg version to version 8.x (L)GPL shared. The older version 7.x will not work anymore! Links are below this post.
• Voukoder Pro 2026 is not designed to run in parallel with Voukoder Pro 2. It's another good reason to run it on a different system and not on your production system.
• The macOS version still has some issues that I'm currently working on. I'll drop it asap.
• To use the GPU encoding features update to the latest drivers.

License

• Request a free BETA license here. It'll be valid until 2025-12-31.
