We found a solution for the hardware encoder on Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia. I hope to build the updated version tomorrow or on Monday.

Tom, I've thought about this topic. The Logo is one of several possible parameters which can customized for every video clip individually: color adjustments, size, background, etc. If the user merges several video files into one and wants to set some common parameters (one or several), the simplest way is to select these video clips in the Slide List (with the mouse cursor) and apply group editing of the desired setting. For example, choosing the Logo. Then the Logo will become common for this group of video clips.

Hi Tom, Thanks, we'll do this.

Hi, Beta 4 is available. For Windows: https://files.wnsoft.com/ptevideooptimiser/ptevideooptimiser-setup.exe For Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/ptevideooptimiser/PTE-Video-Optimiser.dmg I recommend to uninstall previous Beta version and then install the new Beta 4. Activate it with a free public license key for the Beta versions: C1UBM-LMFBG-JGJME-2UJ89-MK7J4 Changes in Beta 4: Encoding AV1 video on Mac with Apple Silicon is much faster. Fixed an issue with an error message on replacing the existing file. Fixed an issue with the Merge All Files function on Mac. Improved translations: Dutch, French and German.

This issue should be solved in Beta 4.

Hi Denis, We updated the translation for Brightness parameter in Beta 4 today.

Do you add iPhone's video to a project, create a new MP4 video (Hardware Accelleration is unticked), and play the created video on Apple TV, right? It should play smooth, because PTE's video encoder works independently (autonomously) from any changes in macOS. If the created video play smooth in QuickTime player on your Mac, it also should play smooth on your Apple TV. Just in case, I'll clarify that you need to choose "60p" option in video output for the better smoothness, not 25p or 30p. 2. Also I recommend open the Sample Project (from the main menu > Help menu > Open Sample Project), produce a MP4 video. HW option is unticked. Then then compare smoothness - on your PC and then Apple TV.

I discovered a similar issue with another app Handbrake on Mac: It seems that Apple has changed something in the work of hardware encoder in macOS 15.1. I see that Handbrake developers found a solution. We'll learn their code. UPD. I think that unticked the Hardware acceleration option should completely solve this issue as a workaround.

Hi, I merged both topics into this one. I confirm this issue with V11 when using "Hardware acceleration" option, even with the latest Beta version. Please give us some time to explore this issue.

Today we improved a work of PTE AV Studio 11 on Macbook's screen with the notch. The updated Beta is uploaded. The About window shows v11.0.15 Build 2. It should be the final stable version.

Can you check again - the About window in PTE AV Studio should display v11.0.15 Build 1 - this new Beta version. Just to make sure that you use the necessary version. Please open the Sample Project (from the main menu > Help > Open Sample Project). Create a MP4 video and check on your Apple TV. Can you also compare 1080p and 4K videos.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions! We added VU meter and sound volume for a track or global soundtrack to our TODO list. I agree that these functions are important. Jean-Charles also asked me about VU meter feature recently.

Hi, We recently discovered an incorrect work of the hardware encoder with macOS 15 Sequoia. We released a new version 11.0.15 Beta on Friday: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/46385-pte-11015-beta/ It's the stable version, please try it and let me know about a result. The hardware encoder should work correctly again.

Hi, I recommend you download and install the latest version 11.0.14: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/download/ This may help if you have an older version. If it will not help: 1. Restart Windows 2. Uninstall PTE AV Studio 11. 3. Install V11 again.

Hi, I recommend you create a test MP4 video from the Sample Project. It's included with PTE AV Studio. Browse the main menu > Help > Open Sample Project. Create a MP4 video with the following video options: "1920 x 1080, "High quality", "60p". Keep Motion Blur DISABLED. First video create with unticked "Hardware acceleration" option. The second file create with ticked option "Hardware...". Check the file size, it should be about 150 - 300 MB. Then open each video file in QuickTime player, compare both videos. And compare with a full screen preview for Sample Project in PTE AV Studio. It will help us determine where the problem with smoothness occurs.

Hi Tom, This is unfinished code, it should detect a situation when the program cannot write or replace the target video file. Normally it should not appear. I'll check this issue on Monday.

Forgot to say - it also necessary to update PTE AV Player for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Player.dmg Replace the old version in Applications and run it once to update file associations with executable shows on Mac.

Denis, It should work if you choose a custom application (from Program Files) to open a video file. We think to add PTE Video Optimiser to main list for Open With... command.

Denis, Can you check the newest Beta 3 ? It was published several minutes ago.

Hi Mark, Please install Beta 3: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/46202-pte-video-optimizer/#findComment-186126 Open With command works now. Also drag'n'drop of video file(s) from Finder also works.

Tom, try the new Beta 3: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/46202-pte-video-optimizer/#findComment-186126

Hi, Beta 3 is available. For Windows: https://files.wnsoft.com/ptevideooptimiser/ptevideooptimiser-setup.exe For Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/ptevideooptimiser/PTE-Video-Optimiser.dmg Changes in the Beta 3: You can drag and drop video files from Explorer (or Finder on Mac) to PTE Video Optimizer. Improved preview in the Trim function. Fixed an issue with a hardware encoder on Macs with Apple silicon. Various improvements

Jean-Cyprien, If the user has a Macbook with a notch on the screen (Macbook Air 2022+, or Macbook Pro 2022+), please ask him to try a new Beta version 11.0.15: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/46385-pte-11015-beta/

PTE AV Studio 11.0.15 Beta is available: Added Chinese Simplified translation. Fixed an issue with hardware video encoder on macOS 15 Sequoia (Apple silicon only). Fixed an issue with full screen playback on Macbook internal screen with a notch. The mouse cursor was not working correctly. Download Windows: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg Player for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Player.dmg (About window shows: 11.0.15 Build 2)

Thanks, Rosemary! Aleina, thanks for reminding. I'll read again that topic with your suggestion.
