The audio seems alright in the recent 2 versions. Just looking forward to the multi-thread running of x264enc7.exe, if possible.

My current computer can't run any Nvidia card somehow, black screen after driver installation. :| Otherwise I would have switched.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBCoaIGKH9M I made a compare of using the h264_amf hardware encoder on shotcut vs the export of videopad, doing the same video. Speed is like double when using GPU hardware encoder. yeah I know my computer is old. Just envy you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Videopad/comments/pj7391/what_video_card_for_improved_gpu_processing/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/554820/discussions/0/135509124606686481/ as you may read here, not only I have experienced that single thread slow exporting issue. They just don't come to here to raise the issue. So I think I'm definitely onto something NCH should work on.

Very good, that's so ideal!

is this an encoding process, or playback process in the editor? I envy your system working like that either way.

Tried, same result with the 11.32 and 11.45. So the GPU wasn't involved in the export. I noticed the GPU does have activity at editing mode. But once I press export and cleared the editor, GPU activity died down to idle, or almost idle. Export time with 16 threads X264enc7 running, with CPU only setting, is 1:24.79, without the OBS recording running. So it shows that there's absolutely no GPU involvement in the export. I didn't bother to try the single thread h264 export for it takes 2x time.

Done!

Yes, I was using R9 370 GPU all along and almost no gpu activity at all during export, for both 11.32 ver that I use mainly for h264 export since it uses 16 threads, and 11.45 ver that I used for H265 export. Just wish the programmers can take a look in the issue.

I'm using GPU already. Radeon R9 370. CPU I7 990x https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NFwGOT44Qbvi53nGJ8gHBlZ4eBTVJtOp?usp=sharing

Yes, export speed is huge difference between 11.32's 16 threads running x264enc7.exe and the later version that run it single thread only. I took the time to make a video for you to demonstrate the huge difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIX2k8lIpwg

Rendering speed results are big difference. Otherwise I won't keep nagging on it. LOL.

same project, shown in 11.73 is like this http://www.rsw.com.hk/1173.jpg Shown in 12.07 is lower volume displayed (but they do play about the same) http://www.rsw.com.hk/1207.jpg Then I used OBS studio to record the playback volume between the two versions. There are some differences, though not as significant as before: http://www.rsw.com.hk/1173vs1207.jpg The left one is 11.73, which is louder. The right one is 12.07, which is quieter. Also, I still can't get 16 threads processing for h264 videos in 12.07 with x264enc7.exe But since NCH Software kindly let me continue my registration for 6 months with 12.07, I'll kindly keep testing the updating versions for you. Plus, the noise removal works now.

Hmmm.... you can open resource monitor and see x265enc3 during a h265 encoding https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/7-ways-to-access-resource-monitor-in-windows-10.html But anyway, how long it takes to encode in h265 then? Much faster than before?

I thought you would be using 64 bit. Anyway, would you mind clicking on the arrow on the left of the videopad process on the task manager, and see how much GPU the x265enc3.exe is using?

Is the 81.7% GPU usage? And you're using 32 bit version? Surprise!

Has h265 GPU encoding been implemented?

Will I get 12.00 free if it fixed this problem, for I reported the problem previously?

I work on 60 fps videos a lot but I found that in the editor it's limited to 30 fps. This makes me unable to put something on the precise frame. Any chance the editor can show 60 fps in editing mode?

I just checked out 11.97 and it still has the not-normalized problem on audio issue, unless I follow ur steps to correct it. Anyway it's already out of my registration code period so I was just installing it to see what were fixed. However since I can't export without registering, I can't actually see if it has the "1 cpu thread" problem when I do H264 export. Just reporting.

Agree. I tried editing h265 with videopad and it was super slow.

I was using your clips' noisy portion to make the video, not the portions where the noise was reduced. Anyway, thanks for letting them know!

I downloaded your clips to test my videopad out and no effect at all. I'll show video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t_UPIhzvNo The first playback was with no effect. The second was with noise reduction at -40 db. The third run was noise reduction at -8 db. Finally I removed the noise reduction. The video didn't show the effect window where I was tweaking with the noise reduction effect. You can see the "FX" button being ON and OFF though on the clips, to show when it had noise reduction activated. No difference at all.

Yes, from 40 to 0 db, no changes at all. I tried it on several videos I have.

Also the noise reduction effect never seems to work on whatever version I tested. The background noise is just as loud as it is with or without the effect.
