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.

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/

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

Thanks, it's a good idea for the next version.

Bruno, No worries, I understand. I've added to my TODO list these 2 options: - Audio waveform for trimming function. - Possibility to choose another built-in audio track from a video file.

Thanks for the details. I recommend to compare smoothness of your video file(s) when this file is opened in QuickTime on your Macbook (internal display), and on Apple TV connected to your TV panel. Also try to play another video file received from another source - iPhone camera, for example. Not from PTE AV Studio to compare results.

Thanks for your suggestions! Regrettably now it is not possible to quick rework the Trim function interface. Let's try start the first version with the current interface. And then we will think how to improve it. In the next Beta 3 we enlarged the small floating preview for the Trim.

Hi Aleina, Thanks for the idea. We plan to implement saving the presets in the Optimizer app. Please remind me a link to your topic where you suggested this for PTE?

Hi, Tell us in more details. Do you create a show as MP4 video with HD or 4K quality and then open this video file in QuickTime player or VLC player? Configuration of your Mac and year.

If it will be Macbook screen with a notch, please ask him enable the screen option which hides this notch. And check again for this issue.

Hi Jean-Cyprien, Do you run the Player with the show on Macbook internal display which has the notch at top of the screen?

Hi, Thanks for your first impressions and suggestions to improve PTE Video Optimizer! We plan to release the first version in December and now we need some time to fix known issues, and also update our website for this new app. If you discover some problem, please let me know. You can post your suggestions and ideas for the next version of PTE Video Optimizer.
