First impressions about PTE Video Optimizer


Igor

Recommended Posts

Hi Igor,
Congratulations to your team and us, the users, on releasing a useful program! Its functionality is interesting. I really liked the implementation of slow motion with interpolation - it looks very smooth and beautiful.

I have a question, will the video file editing link from this program be implemented in PTE AV? Import-export?

Hi Igor,

I have been testing it on my Mac mini and it works well. A few of my video stabilization tests. I think objects near moving water are difficult to stabilize and movement of bicycles during road construction. I will continue to test on my Mac.

Thanks for your response!

Frame interpolation option also will appear in future PTE 12. And additionally it will possible to use special keyframes to dynamically control video speed, even to pause a video for several seconds.

We'll add a command to the popup menu for the File List in PTE 12 to convertĀ  one or several video files in PTE Video Optimizer.

Many thanks for sharing these excellent examples for video stabilization function in PTE Video Optimizer!Ā Looks very convincing.

I think this function can be very useful for old videos when cameras didn't have optical stabilizer, or it didn't work well.

This is perfect for my needs with PTE.

Early experimenting with the program it functions well.

Count me in as an early adopter.

That's good to hear!

I am curious about what settings Igor used in his demonstration of image stabilization.

Not sure about the expand option.

I used "Strong" preset (for the city) and "Normal" preset (the flower). Expand = 0 for both cases.

"Expand" option can be used together with the "Strong" preset if you still observe some undesired shaky motion in a picture. This option will crop some part of a video picture (edges) reducing undesired motion. I recommend to try Expand = 5...10%

When you use "Strong" preset, the program analyzes 30/30 frames (forward/backward) for each frame to perform the optimal stabilization.

Congratulations and thanks to the Team!

This is absolutely the must addition to the PTE!

So far just couple of questions:

1.Do we have to Import converted Video into the Project or it going to be somehow linked to the Video Optimizer and done while rendering the Project?

2. In order to compare the results it would be great to have Option to turn applied settings off/on momentarily.

Once again thanks a lot. Great work!Ā 

Hope we'll see more upcoming surprises

Space bar to start and stop the video editor,Ā 
as in PTE AV Studio, it didn't work for me.Ā 

Space bar will pause/resume playback in next updates.

Currently you can use Print/Break key on a PC keyboard. Or click left mouse button on a picture of the mini player. The same in PTE 11.

Ā Thanks for your feedback!

Do you mean PTE AV Studio project? Currently PTE Video Optimizer is completely independent app from PTE AV Studio. We plan to integrate both apps - it will possible to convert/optimize selected video files from PTE in PTE Video Optimizer.

Good suggestion. I've added to our TODO list.

Hi Igor,

usually, I stabilize my video clip and increase the sharpness with another application.

I try the same things with PTE Video Optimizer:

The stabilize option seems to work well.

The sharpness ( negative blur) has the same default as PTE AV Studio 11. The last line and the last column are brighter. I hope you will solve this in PTE AV Studio 12.

Denis, we'll try to improve it. I agree.Ā 

Thanks for your message.

Thank you, Igor, interesting program! Quite a lot of settings! Saved a video with the same settings as the original - the file size decreased by 22 percent. Great! I support the proposal to view the old and new changes in the file. I did not find the ability to undo actions (Ctrl-Z). Question: when inserting a video from this program into PTE AV Studio, will there be further repeated improvement of the inserted video? Do I need to run the output MP4 file through this program after PTE AV Studio?

Thank you, Igor! This will be great!

I want to write some my observations and suggestions on the first tests of the program.


1. I think it would be useful to add a display of the sound waveform in the video trimming field. Personally, I often trim the length of a video based on the sound, and this would significantly increase the usability of this tool.


2. I constantly have a bug with reverse playback. I have not yet fully understood the algorithm, but it is somehow related to changing the sound. For example, if I have reverse playback enabled and I check the "mute sound" box, the program freezes completely.


3. In this regard, I would like to see some function for saving already applied settings, especially since we can work with several files at the same time and do not want to lose already applied settings due to a program crash.
