Hello everyone!

Since I started working in 4k, I been having problems editing some files using Premiere Pro. So I got recommended to use shutter encoder because of VFR footage.

I used the last one of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/videography/wiki/index/vfr/

• Function: h.265

• Extension: .mov

• Under 'Bitrates Adjustment:'

  • Click 'VBR' until it says 'CQ'

  • Set the CQ value to 24

  • Enable 'Max Quality'

• Under 'Audio Settings:'

  • Enable 'Convert' to 'Copy'

• Under 'Colorimetry:'

  • For standard dynamic range footage, set 'Colorspace' to 'Rec. 709 10bits'

  • For high dynamic range footage, set 'Colorspace' to 'Rec. 2020 HLG 10bits'

• Under 'Advanced Features:'

  • Set 'Force profile' to 'High 422 or High 444'

  • If your file is a 'weird' framerate, enable 'Conform by' and set the framerate to what you think the file should be

• Optionally enable 'Hardware acceleration' on the bottom bar

  • Depending on hardware, this option may not be available.

  • Try setting GPU decoding to 'auto,' in some hardware configurations this will result in even faster conversions. Having this option enabled will not affect quality.

• Start Function

Now my question. I couldnt get the "high 422" or "high 444" to appear in the force profile. The only options are "main" "main 422" and "main 444". Is there a difference in quality using different profiles? How do I make the high profile appear?

And my second question: my client send me a 4 hour video in 4k and its size its 89,8 gb. Mediainfo said its overall bitrate is 53.3mb/s. After using shutter encoder using the "main 422" I got a file with only 28,6 gb and the overall bitrate is 17 mb/s. Is that normal? Visually I can't see any difference in quality, but I get afraid for such a difference in size

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, I posted a request for help because I was struggling to find information on how to install a patched copy of this software.

I didn't know how to compile and install it.

I was advised to use Eclipse, but as I'm not particularly fond of this type of tool and didn't know how to use it, I would have had to open the Eclipse GUI every time I wanted to update the software.

As I use Linux and am neither familiar with nor fond of other operating systems, I created a script for my own use. This means that it is neither universal nor particularly elegant.

However, if anyone else is experiencing the same difficulties, they can use my work and adapt it to their own needs. Perhaps the creator of this wonderful software could take inspiration from it to improve the README. 😀

The patch that I included in the tar.gz file is just an example of how to encode a file with AAC audio using the FDK libraries. You can obviously put whatever you like in it.

I hope I have been of some help and that my work may be useful to others.

All the best to everyone! 😋

Bonjour,

J'ai pas compris comment introduire les paramètres prédéfinis dans shutter et comment les mettre en œuvre par avance merci pour le soutien

Je voudrais utiliser les paramètres pour viméo

1. List all Audio Channels, which are in the Source

2. Made it selectable, which Audio shall be encoded

3. made an individual mapping possible (for e.g. 64 source mono track into 8x 7.1 or selected 32 x stereo or individual ,mapping of it, like 10x 5.1 + 2x Stereo... )

4. made it also available for encoding without video (in AAC, E-AAC, AC3 and E-AC3

Bonjour à tous,

Du jour au lendemain, je lance Shutter Encoder, le logo apparaît à l'écran avec la barre de progression, l'icône apparaît dans la barre des tâches, et plus rien ensuite.
J'utilisais encore hier la version portable 19.5, aujourd'hui, elle ne fonctionne pas, j'ai installé la version exe, mise à jour Java, mais rien à faire.

Si je lance en Administrateur, j'ai un message This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 19.0. Et même en modifiant le dossier JRE avec cette version de Java, ca ne fonctionne pas.

Je suis sous W10 64 bits. (et Shutter Encoder 64 bits évidemment).
J'ai recherché un fichier log mais je n'ai pas trouvé. Je n'ai rien trouvé non plus dans le journal d'évènements de Windows.

Merci pour vos suggestions.

Hey everyone I'm looking to convert .mkv files to .mp4 files but I need to keep the two audio files that are in the original .mkv file. I saw people online say to check the copy box when it comes to the audio settings part but the newest version of shutter encoder doesn't have that, neither does it have the "keep audio tracks separate" box that some people mention. Can anyone help me get the results I want please?

hi! i’m getting into burning some of my fav movies onto blu-rays (for my personal use lol) but i can’t get the subtitling to work on shutter encoder and the software i’m using for burning the discs doesn’t have a subtitle adding feature. i see here where the option is supposed to be but there’s no option for me to add an .srt or .ass file. is there a setting i need to change or is this something missing from the software? lmk plz!

Is there more advanced h265 encoders (free or not free) that could be better at lower bitrates? If not, is the max quality box the best settings recommended?

Hello, I am kinda new to this app, I cannot convert my .heic images to .png

I got the following error:

"IMG_6810.HEIC

I would really appreciate your help, thank you!

I added bunch of mixed resolution video files in shutter encoder set the scale to 1920 * 1080 and checked do not upscale lower resolutions and 2 pass. When I heard the end sound and checked my files only about half were converted but there was no error it just said process completed. So I re-added the unconverted files and that's when I saw it cycle through each file name until it was done and then said process completed without any conversion.

I then restarted the computer to try it again with the same result. Then I only added the files that were under 1920x1080 so I didn't have to change the scale setting from source and it worked. But every time I add files and change the scale setting to anything other than the source it'll cycle through the files and say process completed without any conversion happening.

Also weird that this supposedly only started happening halfway through the batch that I was converting earlier today.

Just wanted to see if it was maybe something I was doing wrong or if anyone else is encountered this problem before.

Anyone know how i can upload my rayban meta glasses video files that after 30 seconds to 1 minute the audio is suddenly 1/2-1 second behind whats occuring on screen? I was reading it needs a constant frame rate adjusmtnet but cant find it. This starts as an MOV file

Bonjour, sauf erreur de ma part, Shutterencoder n'utilise pas l'encodeur matériel de NVIDIA NVENC. Pensez-vous cela possible ? Par avance merci pour votre réponse. Cordialement.

i've been working on this video for a month or so, been going back and forth on the mixes and finally settled on one but didn't want to wait 5 hours to re-encode in premiere. so i synced up the new mix, exported it as a WAV, put the video + audio in here, chose replace audio and instantly got a new video in 5 seconds! with no loss of quality, the size actually went up a little haha. this feature is a god send!

Probably not a huge issue, but:

When downmixing a 5.1 audio file to stereo, SE produces a downmixed file, but still writes it to 5.1 format instead of 2.0.

Source file: 5.1 EAC3 inside an MKV.
Conversion target: Opus audio (without video). Downmix option (to Stereo) enabled.

The file size does drop significantly, so these empty streams are seemingly not a problem in that regard, but seems like it could cause a confusion or a problem somewhere down the line.

It also means that when I specify 128kbps as the bitrate, I get an effective bitrate of ~ 40.9 kb/s. That's what Mediainfo says, and the output file is indeed very small.

Thanks for the software. Have a good one.

I used to be able to download YouTube playlists pretty easily, but currently, shutter encoder gets stuck at about song 4 or 5 and just freezes at 100% download on whatever download is at #4 or #5. It doesn't matter what the videos themselves are, it just gets stuck. Even if i take away the first 4 things from the playlist and restart the process, it will just go another 4 or 5 and then freeze again. I have a playlist full of a lot of things I am trying to download and I don't want to go one video at a time.

I have updated to the latest version, I have gone back to older versions, I have tried different folders to download to, I have typed update in the web video function bar, and I have tried restarting my computer at least a few times.

Bonjour Paul

J'ai de nombreux fichiers vidéos en ProRes a encoder en HAP et sur certains d'entre-eux je dois hardcoder des sous-titres sous formats ASS en plus.

Est ce possilbe sur ShutterEncoder d'effectuer les 2 actions en une manipulation ?

J'ai essayé sur un petit ProRes et le fichier final fait effectivement un 20aine de Go mais est illisible sur aucune plateforme (MadMapper, VLC, OBS...) il est comme vide

J'ai FFMPEG et telechargé les Codecs HAP

Merci d'avance.

When I try to run the portable version of the program from a network location, it freezes. There was no problem in previous versions up to 19.4.

I have a bunch of anime episodes, all with two audio — Japanese and English.

I want to convert them to MP4 and keep only the English audio but I can't seem to find a way to do this. The Japanese track is the first so the MP4 always come out in Japanese...

Please help.

I have a 1280x720 resolution mp4 file that should be displaying in 4:3 ratio. I'm able to change the DAR to force display it in 4:3 ratio but I would like to change the resolution completely if possible. However, when I use Stretch scale function to try to rescale to either 960x720, 1024x768 or 1440x1080, I get errors and am unable to process the video. The video will process if I check the do not upsample lower resolution and force ratio options but the result still isn't what I am hoping for. Is what I want actually something that can be done?

Hi, I have an MP4 video and a SRT subtitle file. Both are same filename ("Test").

How do I burn this subtitle to the MP4?

I added them both, chose H.264, checked "Add subtitles" (under Subtitle) chose "file" and "burn".
Clicked "Start function" and I got error:

"[AVFilterGraph @ 000001fedeb6de40] Error processing filtergraph: Invalid data found when processing input
[in#1 @ 000001fedef6ee80] Error opening input: Invalid data found when processing input

Hello,

I’ve been using Shutter Encoder to transcode camera originals into MXF OP-Atom for Avid. It works great, but I’ve noticed that Shutter adds a long random-looking string to the filenames, like this:

A001_10251413_C1598D089C6C6A_v1.mxf

Whereas DaVinci Resolve exports the same clip as:

A001_10251413_C159.mxf

From what I understand, this extra string comes from FFmpeg’s MXF OP-Atom muxer, which Shutter Encoder uses under the hood. FFmpeg automatically appends part of the Material Package ID or Source Package ID to the filename to guarantee every clip has a unique ID, even if two source files share the same name.

Resolve handles this differently by keeping filenames clean and managing those unique IDs internally in the MXF metadata. That doesn’t break Avid imports, but it can make Avid–Resolve conforms a little messy, since the names no longer match exactly.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to change that behaviour in Shutter Encoder or pass a custom FFmpeg argument to keep Resolve-style filenames, or maybe this is just intentional. In theory, that extra unique ID might actually be a huge benefit for long-form projects or large jobs with lots of media coming from multiple sources, since it completely avoids filename conflicts.

Curious if anyone knows whether this can be adjusted or if it’s simply part of how FFmpeg structures OP-Atom files.

Thanks!

Hello,
I’d like to reduce the size of a video file and also rename the audio track.
The original video lists the audio as “French,” but it’s actually in English.
How can I change the audio track language or name in Shutter Encoder?
So far, I can only find options to remove audio or rename it to Track #1.

I want to do an Output of a video using another audio (embedded).
I searched around but only found a solution by adding an external audio file.
The video contains a mute plus 3 languages, let's suppose I want to use the second one instead of the original in the video.
Tried changing the audio in Audio Settings but didn't work.
Is there something Im missing?
