This is a beta release to test the new features and fixes.
It contains breaking changes, clean install required.

New features:

  • Subfolders for sequences + new setting to toggle it. Descriptive suffix will be assigned to the subfolder name instead of the files if this is enabled
  • Color metadata support but no actual color management included in this release. Part of #1
  • Meta-options. The copy option for the wset.out.video.rate and wset.out.video.rate to copy the video/audio streams into the output.
  • Image scaling support in all presets
  • Framerate change in all presets
  • Simple audio muxing support in all video presets, a convenient way to quickly add sound to sequences and videos

UI:

  • Significant UI overhaul, more structured with colors
  • The cmd/terminal window's title with encoding progress status added. Part of #4
  • More convenient video duration formatting h:mm:ss.ms
  • Displaying source video info (duration, fps, dimension, codec, color data)

Improvements:

  • The dependance form the shortcuts' Start In folder option eliminated
  • Much more reliable still image detection method. Closes #6
  • Catch and report of unsupported/unavailable codecs for the current FFmpeg version/build
  • Keyframe intervals now work properly and (for now) switched to frames instead of seconds
  • Descriptive suffixes are now assembled of the actually applied options only, but in more "native" form
  • Framerates can now also be set as fractions
  • Negative framerate value can be assigned to override the input fps (useful to preserve all frames but change playback speed)
  • More verbose settings' names
  • Sequence frame numbering is now preserved for sequence-to-sequence conversion case

Presets:

  • Presets' main parameters isolated into a separate section for easier user customization
  • OpenCL acceleration for the Libx h264 presets enabled (keeping the same high quality)
  • Enabled lookahead for all video presets, which increases RAM/VRAM requirements but results in more efficient compression
  • New presets for WebM (libx VP9), HEVC (libx h265) and HEVC (nv/cuda h265). Closes #5
  • Some of the less actual presets removed, they are now much easier to reproduce if required
  • More precise descriptions for available options and links to the ffmpeg docs added as comments
  • Encoder's Tune option for Cuda presets added
  • Extended options for apng preset added

In most cases you will need to change the first few parameters to create a new preset.
