Does anyone know of another external render plugin that does what Voukoder did, which was to render without having to choose the resolution of the final video? This is very important to me...
Yes Yes Yes John is absolutely right, I use Render+ and it it much more flexible than Vegas templates as you can change the audio codec from AAC. Highly recommended. It is not yet updated for V23 but Wayne is working on it at the moment. If you try to use Render+ with V23 it will give a message that it only use Vegas inbuilt templates. Here is a screen shot of the template with my settings for AV1.
Yes it is not free, neither is Voukoder Pro. Happy Otter scripts has many additional functions and features than Voukoder Pro and a once only purchase.
I think many people would be happy to move to a reasonably paid option to support what was the free version of Voukoder. The issue with the Pro version is it's complexity and from what I can see is the fee is currently $ 80 and coming soon a subscription based fee.
@andyrpsmith It's not worth it for me, because the cost is almost 1/3 of my country's minimum wage. And I only use it in specific situations, where I need to render multiple projects with different resolutions, using a script.
