CPU 52%

Even if there is no GPU activity on my machine I don't see VideoPAD uses more than 50% CPU on 4 cores (out of 16).

While Adobe Premiere Rush loads all 16 cores to 99-100% (and additionally it loads GPU to 80-90%).

We're in 2021 now, all mobile phones and action cameras produce HEVC / H.265 by default.

These are 30% smaller (and require 5 times more CPU power to encode/decode), taking into account the size of modern videos nobody wants to use H.264 anymore.

Encode H.265 with raw CPU power is not a solution, it should be GPU + CPU.

Thanks for the information though. There is a hope for us, simple users 😃

This info has been passed along to the developers.  Please do leave your files up for several days.

Thanks. I have no control over expiration period of the shared files. I use a corporate plan and this 7 day expiration period is enforced by the corporate policy.

I don't have available 5 GB on my personal OneDrive or DropBox, I will see what I can do.

I sent you the link to download the file and password through PM.

They will expire in 7 days.

Let me know if you were able to get them.

Thanks!

Sure it is not shown, but I can edit it - so I just change 40000 to 35000.

Is it invalid usage? I have been always doing that, as I find 15Mbps is more suitable for my needs, so I always adjusted bitrate manually.

Where are you specifying the 35Mbps setting?

I'm not sure how to add picture here or insert HTML code. Here is the direct link to the screen shot.

Sure, I'm uploading them. It is 5GB, takes a while.

Please don't share them, I will send you a link through PM.

These are the files produced by Insta360 ONE-R 4K module, H.265 @ 60fps

Thank you for your answer,.

I installed this 64bit version v10.43 (backed up my old version before).

It is not registered, but allows me to export H.264/265 for now. 

Encoder to H.265 is crashing when I try to produce 4K H.265 @ 35 Mbps

Fault bucket 1969144987551476668, type 5
Event Name: RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64
Response: Not available

Problem signature:

P3: 10.0.19043.2.0.0
 

When I try to produce 4K H.265 with default quality (I have no idea what is that, would be good to display at least).

Export starts, but only CPUs are busy, GPU is idling (Encode & Decode at 0%, 3D at 17% but it is Windows).

After 7 minutes of encoding were 9.5% completed (29 seconds of video).

Which makes it (100/9.5) * 7 = ~73 min to finish 100% of work. I stopped here don't see the point to wait more than 1 hour.

Input files and resulting file are on SSD disk.

I have to regretfully admit that after 7 minutes Premiere Pro would export this clip twice, but VideoPAD didn't even reach 10%. 

Hello,

I'm using VideoPad v8.06. 

Recently I bought a new desktop with a decent GPU and I want to put it in use. Apparently even when option "use hardware acceleration" is selected VideoPad is using only CPU.

I see in the task manager that my GPU load is 1-2% which is just an idling. Adobe Premier Rush (and Pro of course) are doing export with GPU and it makes a huge difference!

Here is my desktop:

Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz  - 4.80 GHz
GPU    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (6GB of RAM)
Installed RAM    16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
Edition    Windows 10 Pro
Version    21H1
OS build    19043.985
Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0

My test is to combine two 4K clips from my action camera (1min + 4min):

5min 4K@60fps H.265 135Mbps -> H.264 40Mbps
1. Premiere Rush v1.5.58 (CPU - Soft) -  12 min
2. Premiere Rush v1.5.58 (GPU - HW)   -   3 min
3. VideoPad v8.06 (CPU Only)          - ~72 min

As you can see, even pure SW encoding in Premiere Rush is way faster. There are no effects, just a transition through fade between two clips.
 

When the result is 4K H.265 Videopad is just crashing:

5min 4K@60fps H.265 135Mbps -> H.265 35Mbps
1. Premiere Pro v14.8 (GPU HW) - 3.5 min
2. VideoPad v8.06 (CPU Only)   - crashed
 

I ran export 5min 4K H.265 with VideoPad on my older laptop (16 GB of RAM + Gen 9th Core i7) and it took several hours (3+) to export the resulting 5 min clip. For unknown reasons x265 codec crashes on my new desktop. My version is pretty old but before  paying for the update I want to know if it makes any sense for me or not.

My question is: are there any plans to support GPU HW while exporting?

I understand that VideoPad is way cheaper than Pro and even Rush, but for my needs I mostly need to put several clips together, add heading, text, transitions and export. I find it hard to justify waiting more than 1 hour to export 5min of 4K video.
