Ok, I'm writing again with reference to this thread. As of this moment VP's export speed without auto-fix or h265 is reasonable, but not the fastest. The program I moved from to VP, Pinnacle Studio 15, rendered faster in some conditions like without lighting effects. It just could not retain the original clip's quality no matter the bit rate I set to it. That's the first reason I tried VP out and fell in love with it immediately. PS15 also was way less stable and often unable to export when effects are stacked up. So that's another reason I like VP about, stability and reliability. However, when PS15 renders with text effects, the GPU will get to work too so maybe it's one of the reasons why it's faster, with the other reason being rendering with more quality loss obviously. This is my piggy bank. http://www.rsw.com.hk/piggy-bank.jpg

So far export time is reasonable as long as I don't go with h265 or using any auto-fix effects. : ) So yes it's not a critical issue. Just want to make the best use of my limited resource. Glad that there will be chance to have this in the future version. You're the best, as always. I'll keep on supporting and recommending VP to people.

I've read that openshot only supports Nvidia encoding. Maybe it's the case here too that AMD VCE (amf) was not supported. https://content.invisioncic.com/r33241/emoticons/default_sad.png -0- https://gist.github.com/nico-lab/94ded6ded780208e35d663001bbeadb7 More info about h264_amf. Really I'm looking forward to be able to use it with videopad, the best video editor I've come across in my opinion. Even if I have to pay a little bit more to enable this function. My old computer is at its peak setup with no options to upgrade CPU (i7 990x on X58 motherboard) anymore. So all I can do is to switch as much loading to GPU as possible. Of course I may spend some money to get a nvidia card. However, the last time I tried GTX 1080ti, my screen only showed cursor and no picture. Thus changing hardware is way less preferred. Plus I changed to radeon HD 7850 just month ago. I don't want to get another piece of hardware yet. Installing hardware is very tiresome for me. So please NCH ppl, make this happens.

Yes, I tested them out. Color balance and temperature will do. Just I miss the white balance function in pinnacle studio where I can aim at a "correct white" to change the balance of the color in the video. I'll do a suggestion. They'll think I'm asking for too many things.

Thanks, you're the best!

It's in this pdf too, hahha http://www.rsw.com.hk/cache-pdf.jpg Time to update. Just dun wanna sound criticizing.... I paid for the master version because I like this program so much. I have become an immediate fan of it, switching from pinnacle studio 15. And having tried shotcut, VSDC and some other editors that still works on 32 bit windows, I remain a die hard fan of VP. Only wishing to get my little wish features done and I'm super happy.

I'm currently using 11.17. I'll try the beta (doesn't have much hope) and also file a suggestion with reference to this thread too. Tried the beta, same, always reverting my choice to default. Let's hope NCH people add the h264_amf option for me. https://content.invisioncic.com/r33241/emoticons/default_biggrin.png I know I'm just one little paid customer. haha. More info for the programmers...

I see. I saw in the manual that there's option to set the size of cache.... so it hasn't been updated since 7.53 I guess.

I'm using the latest driver already. I guess it was not detected. When I tried shotcut earlier today, another free video editor, it doesn't detect my hardware acceleration either. But when I manually set it to amf (AMD VCE), the loading all goes to the GPU. Same when I use OBS studio to capture my screen, if I use amf encoder, the load will goto the GPU. I wish VP has a manual switch for me to forcefully put the load on GPU like shotcut and OBS studio. I didn't end up using shotcut editor because it kept crashing often. It's not as low-end old computer friendly as VP is. These are my hardware accelerated encoders in OBS and shotcut: OBS: http://www.rsw.com.hk/obs-amf.jpg shotcut: http://www.rsw.com.hk/shotcut-amf.jpg Right now my GPU works in VP only when there is effects and transitions, not the bulk of encoding.

I'm still on 32bit win 7. Oh, so it's using GPU to encode now. Thanks!!! In this option box, I have Default, None (CPU only) and my radeon 7850 HD. However, whenever I pick radeon 7850 HD, it goes back to default. LOL. Only when I click none (cpu only), it indicated a change and asked me to restart. Once restarted, it was set to none (cpu only). When I changed back to my GPU, it asked me to restart and ended up with default again.

It seems at version 11.17 it no longer allows one to set cache size. My option screen looks like this: http://www.rsw.com.hk/cache-size.jpg

Any progress on this project?

I tried Videopad for 1 day and then decided to buy the pro version because how good it runs on my 32 bit win 7 old computer. Here are the videos I've made with videopad editing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bFxXLsqXjE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_VUFUrHvd0 Also a gaming video comparing tank speed from two games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbNA3NXtncw https://youtu.be/LLw6nUdqUTU More effects added in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_ZBlaTG_-0 The most recent one, just showed how much I love videopad. ------- The latest gaming video with lots of edits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-A6utZ7z4
