Lancelot Chan Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Just as subject. I'm going to replace my 13 years old computer finally with a slightly more modern one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Congrats. 🙂 For specifics on CUDA query tech support. GPU activity in the current release is blazing while loading AVC (H264) files on this NVidia 1060 PC. Click image to enlarge HEVC (H265) improvements are in the works.

Lancelot Chan Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 hahahha let's hope I manage the switch of computer first. In the future I hope to export h265 directly so hopefully videopad can have fast h265 editing (not now) and hardware acceleration in export, using nvenc.

borate Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 On test files here there is GPU utilization during HEVC export. AVC source :31 file - similar result to the above. 70% GPU on a 25-minute project w/no efx. HEVC source :31 file - about 5-10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Chan Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 https://youtu.be/vVomfc40fsw This shows a performance difference between CUDA supporting PrPro and Videopad 13.09, using the same video project with same graphic overlay, with the same hardware encoder h265 14000kbps output, with PrPro encoder at slowest setting. One can see a huge difference in CPU and GPU encoder usage during the export. The base encoder usage for this recording was around 10% to 18%.

borate Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Rumor has it to expect good things re H265 (HEVC) ... in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Chan Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Good to hear about possible improvement. The point why I still want videopad to get faster and better is that I like videopad more than adobe premiere pro. Doing the same editing on PrPro takes more steps, longer time and often with more crashes. Videopad is so much better in getting my job done in the editing terms. It's just the exporting that needs CUDA boosts to render those effects. Right now just a simple image overlay would take away all the speed it has compare to no effect.

n1x1 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hi @Lancelot Chan Please leave your suggestion on our official suggestion page, here is the link:https://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Chan Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Yes, already left several suggestions there, including audio hard limiter. I've just finished trying videoproc Vlogger, which claims to have 3 tier hardware acceleration. It's pretty easy to use, but lack the functions I found in videopad, namely the stopwatch timer, and a way to make Star Wars style crawling text. It also lacks audio hard limiter as well. In terms of exporting speed, it is in between Premiere pro and videopad. Fast, but not as fast as Prpro. So I uninstalled it. LOL. Videopad is pretty strong in terms of functionality, really. Fast editing, just not fast exporting. I still like videopad very much Things that is 1 click in videopad would often take a complex skill to do the same thing in PrPro. Like a timer, or reversed timer. Man.... Edited March 7, 2023 by Lancelot Chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Chan Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 This shows an idea of no CUDA effect.... http://www.rsw.com.hk/nc1.jpghttp://www.rsw.com.hk/nc2.jpg A 6 min h265 60fps video with a logo overlay, color correction and sharpening effect, took 35 mins to render. With CUDA effect it would be just 1 to 2 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, VP handles some processes more readily than apps targeted to the higher-end market. For the home user, complex isn't necessarily better. As for CUDA and H265, it will be interesting to see what's in store. Improvement is constant, but not without an occasional glitch.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I think my solution is to do those color correction, sharpening and watermark with the CUDA accelerated editor first, then pass on to VP to do all the cutting and titles I like. Man, many editors I tried just couldn't do the star wars style scrolling text and in VP it's just 1 click. Not to mention those counting timer or counting down timer. In PrPro it takes tons of steps but in VP? 1 step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
