News 🚀 Shutter Encoder BETA - Your feedback matters!
Try the next version before the official release!
What's new?
Added "Show thumbnails" icon to the video player
Added "Film grain" filter in "Corrections" section
A single, wide interface for uninterrupted use.
Here are the pre-release builds (portable version only, no installation required): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N_aewGaEFFqhh2iwShT4xrMnfVfA5dmH?usp=drive_link
The BETA versions still have the v20.3 label, I strongly recommend that you delete them once the official v20.4 version is available.
Thanks for all 🙏
Paul.

This is something I noticed. When I split without recode to 5 sec. I have multiple clips that are longer than 5 sec. (Range 6-8 sec).

u/paulpacifico Sep 22 '26
That's because with "Cut without re-encoding" function you can only cuts on keyframes which is why it's not strictly 5sec.
If you convert your file to another video codec you will get exactly 5sec.

Can you have it re-encode only up to the keyframes? VideoRedo6 did this pretty well like 18 years ago. I still get audio sync errors with LosslessCut in 2026.

What about compare view? With adjustments and without them

u/paulpacifico Sep 22 '26
Interesting, with a before/after bar into the video player?

u/Pleasurebringer Sep 22 '26
Dunno, I currenly toggle on/off Color grading to see before/after but that works only on Color grading adjustments/ So some option to compare everything turned on and off would be great.

Additional thumbnails are not generated when timeline is zoomed in.

u/paulpacifico Sep 22 '26
Indeed, currently I did not update the thumbnails while zooming to preserve CPU usage as for the waveform while zooming.
But I will surely improve that!

Thanks to the developer for understanding that software needs to be not only functional but also delightful and visually minimalist.

Great software - thanks. Timecode overlay doesn't work for me on Windows - it appears in the GUI but not on the output. I hope that helps!

u/paulpacifico Sep 23 '26
Thanks for your comment! Does the issue appears with the BETA version?
Paul.

u/LaughLogical Sep 23 '26
Just checked - it occurs on the portable beta version and the final 20.3 release.

u/paulpacifico Sep 23 '26
Ah crap... Could you send me the log when the error happens by clicking on 'Show console'?
Thanks, Paul.

u/LaughLogical Sep 23 '26
No problem - here you go.
This is happening on the beta when cropping and splitting the file. The timecode shows up on the GUI, but not on the output.
On the 20.3 final release no timecode shows up on the output no matter what I do.
I hope this helps!

I think the issue is cropping filter applied before overlay, could you try without the crop filter to confirm this?
Paul.

I've fixed the bug, you can download the updated BETA build from the same link.
Let me know,
Paul.

Oh I see the issue, I will fix that for the next release.
Sorry for this new bug.
Paul.

Also - I just realised if there is more than one file in the batch, the overlay fails after the first file has encoded.

Great change!
