mp4 editor without re-encode that has audio histogram?
I need an mp4 editor that will save without re-encoding, but that also has an audio histogram feature ala Camtasia or Adobe Premiere. Basically I need to scan through hours of webinar/course footage to identify lengthy silent breaks to be able to remove them, something that doesn't show up on the video thumbnail timelines of most of the video tools I've seen mentioned here (e.g., VideoReDo, TMPGenc Smart Renderer).
Free or paid, either way.
Thank you in advance.

Deblur a license plate number
Hello,
Does anybody can help with deblurring the license plate number of a white van?
Two first letters are WR for sure, the last one is W as well. Need four digits inbetween.
Authorites in my country arent helpful, so I'm trying find the number for my own, which I can provide do police later.

Blu-Ray & DVD synchronization
Hello,
is there some software that could speed & pitch down audio from DVD, based on a Blu-Ray normal audio automatically? I'm tired of doing it manually, and I hope it exists.
Thanks for answers!
P.S. Movie that I'm trying to edit doesn't have a blu-ray version in my region, that's why I have to use DVD's audio.

Transferring chroma/color from one source to another?
I have both a Japanese set and Spanish set for an animated TV series. The USA one looks better and was not overly DNR'd to hell, but they screwed up the colors. The Spanish set has colors more true to the original, but they DNR'd it to hell.
Is there an avisynth script I can use to take the colors/chroma from the spanish video, and lay it on top top of the USA video's chroma/colors?

Remove Channel Logo with Ripbot
Hello everyone,
I think it's been over ten years since I last went here for help..
Really need your help again.
I use RipBot (v.1.15.0, and old one) for encoding videos.
In broadcast channel at the top right corner, there is a logo that sometimes appears on a black background (for the entire video).
At least in such cases, I want simply to remove it by covering it with some black square so that it will be black on black and so, the logo will disappear.
I was wondering if this is possible with any script, into the Ripbot scripts window.
If so, I would be grateful if anyone here could write for me the correct script for that.
Regarding the size and position of the cover on the video, I guess I can manage with trial and error in changing the digits / units.
The current script, probably my default, is as follows:
#MT
#VideoSource
LoadPlugin("D:\my files\Desktop\Rip Tools\RipBot264v1.15.0\Tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
video=MPEG2Source("D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job5\job5 .d2v")
#Deinterlace
#Decimate
#Crop
#Resize
#Colors
#Denoise
#Subtitles
#AudioSource
LoadPlugin("D:\my files\Desktop\Rip Tools\RipBot264v1.15.0\tools\AviSynth plugins\NicAudio\NicAudio.dll")
audio=NicAC3Source("D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job5\job 5 T80 2_0ch 320Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
audio=ResampleAudio(audio,48000)
#DownMix
#Delay
audio=DelayAudio(audio,0)
#Tempo
#Normalize
#AudioDub
audio=ConvertAudioTo16bit(audio)
AudioDub(video,audio)
#Triming
#AVSameLength

Thanks in advance
And be healthy.

So I am writing this on a PC. I edit videos for YT, stuff to do with nature mostly. I am just wondering if anyone here thinks that Final Cut Pro is worth getting?.

SMPTE 2031 sample (ANC packet)
Hi,
I am looking for a capture / sample of SMPTE 2031 ancillary data packet as it is transmitted in HD-SDI. Maybe there is even a tool which can generate test files of raw 4:2:2 YUV video. Even a simple hex file showing one of those SMPTE 2031 ANC packets would be very helpful.
I've been searching all over the place, but all I can find is about the transport of SMPTE 2031 inside an MPEG2-TS.
All help appreciated.

Captured video and audio out of sync (Avisyth & Virtualdub)
If this rather should be in the audio or capture section, please feel free to move it to the appropriate forum.
I have captured video from an old, slightly damaged VHS tape (Lagarith lossless, raw PCM audio) which has correct in sync audio.
Now, when I put it through Avisynth (to deinterlace with QTGMC and do small corrections like re-sizing etc.) and Virtualdub (to convert with H264, audio to AAC or MP3), the audio goes out of sync at a certain point (not from the beginning). I don't have and never had that problem with tapes that played well and basically had no issues to begin with, which went through the same procedure.
I assume, this happens because of the drop outs? Frames are "lost"? I tried to convert the audio track separately and then muxed it with the (converted) video, but that didn't change anything.
Is there a way to avoid or fix this issue? I never messed with the audio/video interleaving in VD - is that something I should look into?

Help with choosing hardware for video editing
Hi everyone,
I am new to video editing and have been shopping around for a new laptop which needs to be capable of running Vegas Studio Platinum on Windows 10. I will be initially editing 1080p video, but forward expandability for 4k video editing would be nice in case I start working on it instead in the years to come.
I think I've narrowed it down to a couple choices, both of which have 512GB SSD drives and 16GB DDR4 RAM. One has a R7-4800H CPU with a GTX1650 graphics card and the other has an i5-10300H CPU with a GTX1650Ti graphics card. Both graphics cards appear to have 4GB RAM.
Does anyone have any thoughts on which choice would be better? Any info I've been able to come across online has either been conflicting, unclear, or technical enough in its breakdown that it's been over my head.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Dave

Looking for advice on MiniDV transfering and encoding
Hi!
I just started the process of transferring around 100 miniDV tapes (PAL) to my computer. This project has two purposes, basically archival and web (mainly Vimeo).
For the archives, I just leave the AVI-files untouched (space is not a problem) so all good there, but I do wonder if there's anything in my chain I could tweak to make the video look better on the web.
The material is live concerts, filmed from the audience (often shaky) in small & dark night clubs (horrible lighting) filmed from a distance with a low-end consumer miniDV camera, so, that's what we have to work with :).
My current workflow goes something like this :
Panasonic NV-DV2000 -> Firewire -> WinDV (type 1 AVI) -> vdub (cutting, joining) -> save as new AVI (direct stream copy).
So far I'm pretty confident I'm doing everything right. Depending on the footage I may or may not toss the original AVI, but generally, I think I'll keep both for the archives.
Now let's prepare the new AVI-file for the web.
I know deinterlacing can be a hot topic but as far as I understand, Vimeo expects progressive video. I've seen some really nice results with QTGMC where the frame rate has been doubled and the motion looks smooth overall. I've done this on some VHS tapes in the past and I was happy with the results.
Currently, my AviSynth+ script looks like this, and I'd love some feedback on it :
Speed is not a concern at the moment, but I'd really appreciate some advice on which filters & tools could be worth trying out on my tapes. The footage "quality" is pretty much the same on all of them.
I did some short test clips.
Here's the clean file, straight from the Panasonic recorder through Firewire :

Here's the same segment after AviSynth & QTGMC's magic. It's now 50fps and deinterlaced. It's uncompressed AVI (hence the size...) :

(attached is also the info given by AviSynth using the info() command)
The footage is shot in widescreen, and originally the file coming out from AviSynth had a 5:4 aspect ratio. I "fixed" it with ffmpeg for this purpose :
As I understand - aspect ratio doesn't matter until the final encoding anyways? At least that's what I read on the Internet :D. Please confirm ;).
So, let's compare the two AVI's posted above, I'm using vlc for this purpose, although I suspect this is not a perfect method. I already appreciate the result we get with QTGMC, I do think the video is smoother and looks slightly better than any of the built-in filters in vlc, so at least that. I'm still very open to ideas for improvement, but overall I think this looks OK.
Moving on to the encoding phase then. Again, it's going on the web so I assume mp4 x264 is a sensible option? I've experimented with different settings but I'm not so impressed yet - it's very likely to depend on the source in this case though, it's far from ideal, but I'm still curious if we'd be able to tweak it a little. It's probably a good idea to upscale before uploading to vimeo, but let's find the best way to compress it first.
I made an attempt using avidemux with Mpeg4 AVC (x264), slow preset and crf 18. I don't think I touched anything else, except forcing it to 16:9 and "optimized for streaming". I used avsproxy to open the avs-script directly (same script as above). Eventually I'll use ffmpeg instead, but as a newbie in this particular area it's actually nice with a gui.
Here's the result :

I'm not so convinced, I think it's pixelated and kind of blurry, but maybe it's depending on the source, or maybe I've just forgotten how low res MiniDV actually is, these tapes are old and the camcorders were replaced with GoPro's a long time ago ;).
Before I move further I'd love to hear if my results are to be expected under these circumstances? If that's the case, I can accept that, and move on ;).
Truly grateful for any advice! Million thanks in advance.

I just started the process of transferring around 100 miniDV tapes (PAL) to my computer. This project has two purposes, basically archival and web (mainly Vimeo).
For the archives, I just leave the AVI-files untouched (space is not a problem) so all good there, but I do wonder if there's anything in my chain I could tweak to make the video look better on the web.
The material is live concerts, filmed from the audience (often shaky) in small & dark night clubs (horrible lighting) filmed from a distance with a low-end consumer miniDV camera, so, that's what we have to work with :).
My current workflow goes something like this :
Panasonic NV-DV2000 -> Firewire -> WinDV (type 1 AVI) -> vdub (cutting, joining) -> save as new AVI (direct stream copy).
So far I'm pretty confident I'm doing everything right. Depending on the footage I may or may not toss the original AVI, but generally, I think I'll keep both for the archives.
Now let's prepare the new AVI-file for the web.
I know deinterlacing can be a hot topic but as far as I understand, Vimeo expects progressive video. I've seen some really nice results with QTGMC where the frame rate has been doubled and the motion looks smooth overall. I've done this on some VHS tapes in the past and I was happy with the results.
Currently, my AviSynth+ script looks like this, and I'd love some feedback on it :
Code:
SetFilterMTMode ("QTGMC", 2)
AVISource("file.avi", atrack=0)
AssumeBFF()
FadeIn(50)
FadeOut(50)
QTGMC(preset="slow", matchpreset="slow", matchpreset2="slow", sourcematch=3)
Prefetch(3)I did some short test clips.
