--support for audio encoding using Frauenhofer and Nero codecs
--easy access to Avisynth and VirtualDub filters including:
   -resizing and uprezzing to HD and UHD with choice of resizer
   -temporal noise filtering using motion vector techniques
   -frame rate changes using motion vector tools
   -slow motion Fx (up to 10x) using motion vector techniques
   -fisheye removal for wide angle video sources such as GoPro
   -high quality deinterlacing using QTGMC
   -image stabilization using the venerable Deshaker
--apply filters to events, loop region, regions or entire project
--frame accurate video trimming for long-GOP formats such as mp4, m2ts, etc.
--dedicated audio trim and render
--GPU-assisted proxy creation and rapid switching between original and proxy
--media rewrapping and transcoding of formats not easily imported into Vegas
--non-destructive editing of graphic and audio timeline events using external editors
--prerender Fx with choice of codecs, how added to timeline, and immediate split-screen preview

@Marco-Vinc

It sounds as if your shortcut is opening the RenderEvents script from the previous build. I would suggest first using the location where it is working correctly and then re-create your shortcut. If that doesn't solve the problem, then I will need more information. BTW, I'm in Canada at the moment on holiday and will return 15 Aug.

Could these two (hopefully simple) improvements be made?

1. Render - When the Frameserver is started and the render starts. It will block the currently running application in windows.

That way when I render multiple short videos it would be a great improvement.
Could this be fixed?

2. Batch render - would it be possible to add more projects to the list while the batch render is already running. (projects set previously are already being processed)

Thank you

@patrik-o

I will take a look at these issues. At the moment, I'm waiting for a new version of the FrameServer that is compatible with V22.
