Settings Image Eye icon Displays the first file from the list with all your selected the settings and codec compression. Scale Choose a scale or write your own. Adapt, Stretch, Crop - Adapt: adds black bars if source input is different from the selected scale. - Stretch: stretches you media to the selected scale. - Crop: removes excess pixels from the source according to the selected scale. Crop image Opens the image cropping window with the first file from the list. Rotation Rotates your file(s) with the select angle. Mirror Flips your files horizontally. Force display Changes the display aspect ratio, you can write your own value ex: 20:9 or 2.39. Create an image sequence from a video Outputs each images from your video at the selected framerate, you can write your own value. Bitrates adjustment Eye icon Displays the first file from the list with all your selected the settings and codec compression. Scale Choose a scale or write your own. Adapt, Stretch, Crop - Adapt: adds black bars if source input is different from the selected scale. - Stretch: stretches you media to the selected scale. - Crop: removes excess pixels from the source according to the selected scale. Video bitrate Select or write the video bitrate in kilobyte per second, you can preview it from the eye icon. VBR, CBR, CQ - VBR: Variable Bit Rate - CBR: Constant Bit Rate - CQ: Constant Quality (also known as CRF) Audio bitrate Select or write the audio bitrate in kilobyte per second, you can preview it from the eye icon. File size Choose the desired output file size in megabytes. Lock icon All files from the list will have the same output file size, meaning file size value will change video bitrate. 2-pass Run a 2-pass encoding for a better quality especially on low video bitrates. Crop Opens the video cropping window with the first file from the list. Max. Quality Configures each codec to get the maximum quality possible. For example with H.264 the command -preset veryslow is sent. Also check 2-pass with a low video bitrate encoding. Input and output point Change input and output point Opens the video player window with the first file from the list. Audio settings Mix audio tracks Allows you to mixdown your audio files from the list to one output. The audio mapping is shown when the list is empty. Separate audio tracks Splits each audio track into an independent file. Change the sample rate Allows you to change audio sample rate. Convert from / to Allows you to change audio as a video framerate. The audio pitch is maintained while audio is stretched. Convert Converts the audio stream to the selected settings. Make sure your output container supports the selected audio codec. Audio 1-8 Handles the audio mapping, you can remove tracks or edit the audio order. Can be very usefull to use with the rewrap function to change your audio mapping only without re-encoding. Offset Controls the audio offset in images per second, you can preview it from the eye icon. Image sequence Activate the image sequence Sorts all files by number and uses them to output a video. Crop image Opens the image cropping window with the first file from the list. Rotation Rotates your file(s) with the select angle. Mirror Flips your files horizontally. Frame blending Each multiple of 'x' frame is blended between them to creates smooth motion. This option is great for timelapse uses. Add motion blur Adds motion blur by doubling framerate with interpolation then blends created frames to keep original framerate. This option works best with the addition of frame blending. Overlay Display timecode / file name / text Opens the overlay window with the first file from the list. Add subtitles Opens the add subtitles window with the first file from the list. This option supports .srt, .vtt, .ass and .ssa subtitles. Add image / video as watermark Opens the add watermark window with the first file from the list. This option supports any image (and also .pdf, .psd, .nef, .cr2 etc.) or video with (or without) alpha. Colorimetry Image adjustement Opens the image adjustement window with the first file from the list. Convert levels Allows you to convert video levels between 16-235 and 0-255 by using ffmpeg's scale video filter. Convert colorspace Allows you to convert colorspace by using ffmpeg's video filter. HDR -> SDR conversion uses a LUT instead for better results and better encoding speed. I recommend to also use colorspace checkbox to add colorspace metadatas. Colorspace Adds colorspace metadatas to your file(s). For output video codecs this option also set video quantification. Apply a LUT Applies a LUT to your video file(s) according to lut3d ffmpeg's filter. You can add or remove one with the manage button. Corrections Stabilize image Analyzes the video and then stabilizes it using the ffmpeg vidstab filter. Deflicker Adds an overlay of the same input video delayed by 1 frame with a 50% opacity. This option is usefull for hard repetitive flickering. Reduce banding Reduces not smooth gradients by using ffmpeg deband filter. Details Adds or removes details by using ffmpeg smartblur filter. This option works great to remove aliasing artefacts. Noise suppression Reduces video noise by using ffmpeg hqdn3d filter. Exposure smoothing Smooth out variable luminance changes using the ffmpeg deflicker filter. This option works great for timelapse uses. Transitions Fade-in video Applies video transition to the beginning of your file(s) with selected settings, use eye icon for preview. Fade-in audio Applies audio transition to the beginning of your file(s) with selected settings, use eye icon for preview. Fade-out video Applies video transition to the end of your file(s) with selected settings, use eye icon for preview. Fade-out audio Applies audio transition to the end of your file(s) with selected settings, use eye icon for preview. Advanced features Hardware acceleration Enables GPU encoding for faster performance, it's compatible with Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs on any OS. This option is disabled by default because CPU has a better quality encoding than GPU. I recommend to always tick the max. quality checkbox with the GPU encoding. Force output Force output video levels to full range (0-255) or video range (16-235) on metadatas. Force profile Allows you to choose encoding profile related to the video codec. By default Shutter Encoder uses high 5.1 even unchecked. Force preset Allows you to choose encoding preset related to the video codec. Max. quality checkbox uses for example veryslow preset for H.264 codec. Force tune Allows you to choose tuning preset related to the video codec. Force quality Allows you to choose encoding quality related to the video codec. Force speed Allows you to choose encoding speed related to the video codec. Enable fast start Moves video header info to the beginning of the file for best streaming performances. Set GOP Allows you to set a fixed Group Of Pictures. Remove duplicate frames Removes redundant frames according to ffmpeg mpdecimate filter. Conform Reverse Encodes the video backwards at the selected framerate. Speed Encodes the video to the selected framerate speed while maintaining audio pitch. This option changes original video duration. Drop Removes extra frames without changing it's duration. It has to be a multiple of 2 for best results ex: 50i/s to 25i/s conversion. Blending Blends two frames to make a new one and achieve the selected framerate. This option avoid video stuttering with framerate conversions and it's fast to compute. Interpolation Creates new frames by using ffmpeg minterpolate filter to achieve the selected framerate. This is the best option for small framerate changes on quality side. Ultra-slowmotion Creates interpolated frames to the selected framerate then plays it to the original framerate. Force to progressive Force progressive scan, can be usefull for Progressive Segmented Files videos. This option doesn't apply a deinterlace filter. Force deinterlacing Applies a deinterlace filter and tick force progressive checkbox. - TFF: Top Field First (most common) - BFF: Bottom Field First - x2: Doubles the fields ex: 50i to 50p conversion This option is usefull when video is interlaced but metadatas shown as progressive source. Force interlacing Encodes your file(s) with interlaced metadata. If your input video is in 50p (or 59,94p or 60p) it creates a true interleaving, odd frames via the first image, even frames via the second image to output a real 50i (or 29,97i or 30i). Force fields inversion Allows you to switch from BFF to TFF fields. Enable alpha Keeps the alpha channel if available from your video input. Preserve folder hierarchy Recreates folder hierarchy from input file to output destination. Preserve subtitles Keeps input captions of your video. Make sure the output container supports it! Generate format OP-Atom Creates medias for Avid Media Composer using hexadecimal naming and bmxtranswrap tool. The destination can be directly outputed to "Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1". If a new card is detected from the files list, numbered folder will be incrementeded. When you'll open Avid Media Composer, an .mdb file should appears in each folder to drop it to your bin. OP1a Creates OP-1a format files with .mxf extension. AS-10 Creates AS-10 format files thanks to bmxtranswrap with 8 audio tracks. AS-11 Creates AS-11 format files thanks to bmxtranswrap with 8 audio tracks. Source in OP-Atom format Keeps only .mxf files in the Shutter Encoder's list then use an algorithm to bring together video with audio files. Filter Allows you to only keep files from the selected range, this option read metadatas with exiftool. Settings icon Automatically wait for file to be ready This check every 3 seconds the input file size, if the file size is unchanged it will be processed. Replace suffix Allows you to write your own suffix instead of the default one, can be empty if you doesn't want a suffix. Exclude extensions Allows you to exclude multiple file extensions when using drag & drop. Process files list as Merge All the files from the list are merged into one output. Set Merge function to Open-GOP Only check it if you're using merge function with open-GOP videos. Disable animations Disable settings panel animations. Disable end sound Removes process ending sound. Disable updates Shutter Encoder will not check for newest versions. Empty the list when process complete Files are removed from Shutter Encoder's list after process completed. Action at the end Allows you to choose between closing Shutter Encoder or shutdown your computer when all process are completed with a 60 seconds timer. This option is not saved when Shutter Encoder is closed. Set GPU decoding This option is only for decoding and it's on "none" by default because it can in some cases be slower than only using CPU. Pros: - When you select to decode by GPU it only works on specific codecs: MPEG-2, H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1. If the input codec is different, you will not have any problem, it will just not use it. - Less CPU consumption because of GPU processing. - If you're using GPU encoding without any filters or corrections, you get a significant boost to use GPU as decoding also. - You should get pretty good advantages when using GPU decoding with editing codecs like DNxHR, ProRes etc. (because GPU decode and CPU encode). Cons: - CPU has to always send datas to GPU, so if you're using some corrections (like color correction, denoise or whatever) the result could be slower because of CPU transfers + CPU filters. To conclude: - It should be a good option to set on "auto" if you're using Shutter Encoder to create editing codecs as output, without extra options. - In other cases keep it on "none" or experiment it. Set scale mode Allows you to choose the scale algorithm. - fast-bilinear is the fastest but bilinear offers a better quality for a very small difference in rendering time. - bicubic is the default because of the right compromise between speed and quality. - I recommend to use lanczos for the best scaling quality. Set screen recording framerate Set the screen capture framerate. Set input device framerate Set the input device framerate. Make sure your device supports this framerate! Set number of used threads Allows you to set the number of threads for your cpu according to FFmpeg capabilities. By default 0 use all available threads, but using the value 1 can preserve CPU loading to not freeze your computer. Max value is 16, otherwise it will not works. Set still image duration Set the default duration when a still image is processed into a video codec. Set black detection Set the threshold for the black detection function. Set theme Allows you to choose between a clear or dark theme. This will reboot automatically Shutter Encoder. This will reboot automatically Shutter Encoder. Color Choose the color of the application highlights. This will reboot automatically Shutter Encoder. Set language Allows you to choose the main language, currently French, English, Italian and Spanish are available. This will reboot automatically Shutter Encoder. Output 1, 2, 3 default Allows you to set the default opening destination for each output if there are enabled.
