The reason to remove video filter section is because Premiere, After FX, Davinci-resolve are video editors with plenty of filters already.

I would say cut off the entire video filter section, and remove old audio codecs that are bad in export quality. Note that many AAC audio encoders doesn't even come close to the quality from QAAC.

It looks like DDR memory bottleneck, try use 256GB or higher since you are dealing an unusal amount of data (600Mbps). Usually encoded videos are just 2~5Mbps for 1920x1080ish resolutions.

The libx264 encoder is the very same one in Handbrake, it's just that Handbrake is pretty old and many encoding features are lowered or disables for speed.

This option should not be present on this version of Voukoder though. I have removed it from all presets a long time ago, and this change has been merged. Try reinstall Voukoder at this point.

x264-params=qpmax=24

This is the cause, CRF determines QP for each frame with it's algorithms, but --qpmax prevent this from happening

From the first post I believe you are looking for the encoded footage to achieve good quality and re-edibility. Not replicating XAVC streams.

Use the "render & reuse" presets under Voukoder's x264 or x265 encoders. If you care about file size, go for x265.

Change the preset from Default (I consider it trash because of CQP) to anyother preset would be better.

Consider to release a basic version and pro version separately on Steam. Steam has a better payment system that works with multiple currencies and exchange rates.

$10USD might not be much for NA region, but definitely too much for 3rd world countries.

For myself, it is the complex deal with payment system that ended up driven me to pirate versions

Did you encounter any error messages?

You may have the After Effect's composition duration set way too long, this could not happen to Premiere as the video will be garbled if any "blank" is in the composition/tracks' workspace panel. To shrink the workspace, go to composition top menu --> composition settings and edit the duration

This doesn't seem right. Could be the 5fps glitch.

PlasmPlayer and iAvoe:

The problem is that Vegas itself takes a lot of horsepower to render the raw frames, and this is needlessly duplicated if I need to have the same render encoded as 3-4 different formats. Vegas renders the raw frame, then encodes it to whatever format you specify.

No point in Vegas rendering the identical raw frame 3-4 times, which is what a batch render or script would do. This is extremely inefficient in a big render/encode op that takes many hours.

Yep, that's why I suggest you to export first, and then encode into different formats

Constant quantizer is the issue here. Because video encoders decides what quantizer to use for which video frame, and using pixel block-based referencing to drop quality on pixel blocks that has a reference from a full quality source frame, and that's why newer video encoders are using constant rate factor (CRF) mode for a variable quality resulting better compression in the same file size. Choosing constant QP disables this feature.

Same here, I ended up just reusing the same project file over and over (Open --> Saves As New --> Cleanup and start editing)

In that case you can even skip Voukoder, just render a lossless footage and write multiple commands in a batch file (asuming you are on Windows) to use x265/x264/SVT-AV1/QAAC encoders one by one, and multiplex with ffmpeg, roughly such as:

::Video Encode
ffmpeg -i "Sequence 01.mp4" -an -f yuv4mpegpipe -strict unofficial - | x265.exe --y4m - --output "v0.100.hevc"

::Audio Encode
qaac64.exe --cvbr 320 -b 16 -r 44100 --threading -o "v0.100.aac" "Sequence 01.wav"

::Multiplex
D:\ffmpeg.exe -i "v0.100.hevc" -i "v0.100.aac" -c copy "Complete_Product.mp4"

Guess we can add a line somewhere in the bottom of Voukoder says: if export instantly finishes, it failed

I remember VMAF is pretty CPU heavy (likely to be wrong), I would say leave it for a faster rendering or more compression, plus we have some decent x265 settings loaded in there already.I personally would say transport film grain optimization algorithm (FGO, by DarkShikari?) in x264 to x265 & AV1 would be a greater boost in lossy encoding quality than VMAF, though

What I do is copy the old project file (Premiere) and start from there, so Voukoder is somehow configured with it, it might not be the same on Vegas

Looks like a color space interpretation error but I have never dealt with that, try make a new copy of this project, and then specify BT.601 instead of default BT.709 in the following 3 locations:

Premiere Sequence Setting - Work Color Space: BT.601

Premiere Media Export - Video tab - Color Space: BT.601

Voukoder Configuration page - Select encoder - Side Data tab - MasterDisplay: Primaries=BT.601
