Poll : Would KVR benefit from a video tools forum?

[pekbro]

Nice! i may may have to install vs again. All they need now is a graphical shader editor
for the non-programmer types.

Hmmm, maybe hold off on updating, Im finding it a little flaky. Doesnt seem to want to load a lot of the factory video files, and the video browser itself is a bit unreliable, doing some odd stuff on one system (changing the preset sometimes) and crashed the other...
Preset browser behaving differently as well, not closing when preset is changed, and up/down arrows not working, only mouse.

Rolled back to 1.5 on my laptop to confirm I wasnt imagining stuff, that version loads all the videos fine, and preset/video browsers behave the way I was expecting them to, no weirdness. Guess I'll log some bugs tomorrow.

^^^ Thanks for the heads-up.

will dive into it, the next weeks, into VS, the new update, great update!

Doesnt seem to want to load a lot of the factory video files

Spent some time with the (realtime chat) support at Imaginando over the past couple of days, who, as always, were very responsive and helpful.

Turns out the reason some of the factory videos wouldnt play is that they're HEVC encoded, so need the HEVC codec... However this version of VS cant use HEVC via the codec packs (K-Lite etc) that the previous one did. Instead I needed the official MS 'Media Foundation' version of that codec.
(It sounds like it might actually be relatively rare not to already have that one, though, as some of the MS Apps would use it?)

The following page has information on it.

https://www.codecguide.com/media_foundation_codecs.htm

Its got a cost on the MS store Im afraid, (one dollar!), link on that page, but there's also an alternate route to get it mentioned there, though a wee bit more bells and hoops to acquire, including needing to install in Windows developer mode.
Ive also been told that if you have a GPU that supports hardware decoding of HVEC, you dont actually get charged for it on the MS store.


My understanding is that Imaginando will be documenting this going forward.

and the video browser itself is a bit unreliable, doing some odd stuff on one system (changing the preset sometimes) and crashed the other...
Preset browser behaving differently as well, not closing when preset is changed

Imaginando looked into the issues I was having with the browsers, and a couple of test builds later, they had a version for me that had resolved the main video and preset browser issues I had noticed. I assume it'll go up on their site soon.

New to me, but maybe others are familiar with this?

Thought this might be helpful for anyone looking to spice up their visual content.

I'd pay $5/month to watch a livestream of Ben rolling his eyes while reading our posts for an hour a week

id forgot about this, was it ever sorted do you know?

[whyterabbyt]

Erm, not actually sure.
Looks like the download at the site is currently 1.61, original version was 1.60.

I was still running the test version they gave me, which is from about a month earlier than 1.61, and yeah 1.61 looks like its sorted the issues I reported.

Here’s a new video from Steve Pavlovsky (Liquid Light Lab) showing his new rig for a planetarium glitch themed show, so it features more video synth type stuff than his usual liquid light based rigs:

Revisiting the OP, I’m seeing 628 posts in 3+ years of activity on this thread, which works out to around 1 post every couple of days. And, there’s another “video studio” thread that has been around for a while and has seen very little participation by the people supporting a video forum. So, where did all the enthusiasm go?
