- 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.
