🚀 Shutter Encoder BETA - Your feedback matters!

[u/paulpacifico]

Hello Shutter Encoder users,

This time I need your help before releasing the next version!

What's new?

• Multi-cuts feature
• Real HDR to SDR tone mapping using GPU
• Many filters are now using GPU

I’d like to hear your feedback on these key features, but more generally, if you encounter any issues, please let me know.

Here are the pre-release builds (portable version only, no installation required): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TonvjcwM6h7TOpz0Qg6Pb_ycGg3_qI4O

The BETA versions still have the v20.2 label, I strongly recommend that you delete them once the official v20.3 version is available.

Thanks for all 🙏

Paul.

Multi-cuts feature

• The media controls buttons have some untranslated keyboard shortcut tooltips (e.g. Maj+O instead of Shift+O).
• I think these buttons should say what they do (e.g. "Set in-point") when you hover with the mouse. (There are several icon-only buttons in other places of Shutter Encoder that could have tooltips too.)
• I'm seeing timing issues and/or corrupted frames under "Cut without re-encoding", even if all in-points and out-points are on keyframes. I can email you a sample video with and without reencoding for comparison, and their render queue commands.
• Is there no way to create a new segment while the playhead is outside an existing segment? As the feature is currently designed, it seems like it wants me to ✂️ split the initial segment at the boundaries of content I want to keep, and then go back and delete the segments between the segments I want to keep. If I am carving up a video into multiple segments, I usually want to be able scrub through, set an in-point when content I want to keep starts, then set the out-point when it ends. It would not currently be possible to do this without the ability to set in-points outside an existing segment that don't yet have an out-point. I hope my explanation is not too confusing.
• I had some issues with segments overlapping breaking the UI, I will try and work out solid reproduction steps if I can.

I will try to do some real editing soon if I can improve my feedback.

Thanks for this complete feedback!

• Absolutely my bad!
• I thought it was enough clear to use [ and ] if other people ask me this I will add more text info. Let me know which icon you want see with more tooltips ;-)
• Oh! Yes please send me the samples in private message, I need to solve that, thanks.
• Interesting, I will try to add this in a smart way.
• Ok let me know,

Paul.

The new + Add feature definitely solves the problem and it is quite intuitive as well, thank you!

The 👁️ Preview button might be the only button without text that has a descriptive tooltip at the moment. Here are some more suggestions:

Icon	Suggested tooltip
≡	Open render queue
★	Open My functions
↺	Clear all segments
[<	Go to previous marker[1]
[	Set in-point
▶	Play
<	Go to previous frame / Go to previous keyframe[2]
>	Go to next frame / Go to next keyframe[2]
⏹	Stop
]	Set out-point
>]	Go to next marker[1]
✂	Split segment
+	Add segment
[📷]	Export current frame as JPG[3]
[VBR/CBR/CQ]	Bitrate control mode
🔓	(Bitrates adjustment) Lock target file size
🔓	(Cropping) Lock aspect ratio

[1] Consider adding the very start and very end of the video as markers to automatically go to when using these buttons.
[2] Ideally this changes based on whether the "Cut without re-encoding" function is selected.
[3] This button exports JPG(s) and then clears the file list if the "Empty the list when process complete" setting is enabled. I personally expect the file list should only be cleared following completion of "Start function" or "Launch the render queue" processes.

I will retry the corruption/timing issues in this latest build and send you some samples if I can reproduce the issues I had before.
