    I'm here again XD, I've found out that x264 custom presets would not be there if this thing is not checked:

    So make sure you have selected "show advanced options" first before you are applying a preset... I guess XD

    It can be solved by adding a line to automatically enable this option if its not on.

    And just saying that I've updated the preset thread, there are speed improvement, some other parameters are tuned, and added more presets:!:

    I remember some denoise filters are gpu heavy, some are cpu, there are also f3kdb, SMDegrain, KNLMeansCL, QTGMC, MCTDenoise, --NR (in x264)... I'm not sure are they now loaded in voukoder, but there are way more options...

    Here's how 2 pass works: encoder firstly run through the whole clip to get quality for each frame (or block in frame in more rencent encoders) called pass 1, then mass adjusts all the quality values to get the file size, called pass 2. Which your 3 pass doesn't make sense to me... (I might be wrong on this)

    I'm not sure why you are targeting file size instead of quality for a project output though, and I don't think quicksync h265 is anywhere as good as official x265 (I maybe wrong on this too), maybe give a try on x264 in crf mode, it can be fast as well, and might give a better quality result

    Yep, it is, this setting has maxed high cost parameters. However there are even slower modes that are less effective. I uses this only for ~5min videos though

    I'm not sure why it's not working though

    iAvoe okay thank you! I wasn't able to set denoise and GPU acc. Is that also in Voukoder on the settings page? And with --no-psy for example you mean no-psy=yes or no-psy=1 in boolean, right?

    When I start to render a 30 min 1080p/60fps video with the given settings the rest time just increases and increases to more than 10 hrs but there is no progress. I think something is wrong or does it really need so much time?

    Yeah I didn't see that setting either, but it's a x264 built-in function, it could be added in later version? I guess:/

    Yes, it is no-psy here

    I'm not sure why you are going this slow, x264 is a pretty fast encoder unless you maxed out motion search, I think it's due to some effect, you can try pre-render the sequence

    Sorry, that might be an idiotic question, but how can I configure the preset you give us in Voukoder (for me Premiere Pro)? I can just select the 3 given presets for x264.

    Thats fine for me, its in the options page menu above the presets. The downside is you have to input every setting manually in every video project for current version (mouse select), I think the later updates than this comment would just add more presets, but you probably still have to do the calculation, and especially HDR info related parameters manually:)

    x265 Common (all situation should apply, but still very slow)
