well it rendered I think a file with surround. Need to check on system but the "rub" AVC and I do not see a way to change that tp HEVC :(.

@David-Long

Your initial question had to do with fisheye removal for GoPro footage. A number of tools in HappyOtterScripts can already do this. In the next build (due out in a week or so), I've added this option to the ImportAssist tool which, among other things, enables you to remove fisheye "before" adding to the timeline. Here's a short demo of some GoPro footage. I added the original footage to the timeline only to demonstrate the effect of the removal.

Thank you. That video was very informative. I did not realize that HOS worked within Vegas. This is interesting. Also I think this to adjust GoPro maybe better than what is in Effects. So looks like I will be getting this. It does look like a steep learning curve however.

Back to your initial inquiry and one of your responses.

Why doesn't the core Lense Correction FX of Vegas Pro fit your needs to correct the GoPro wide angle distortion? This FX is made right for this case and there are several GoPro presets available.

Marco, where do you find those presets?

cool. Although it does not have the hero 9, some of the others work. Thanks for this!

David-Long wrote on 8/19/2021, 9:28 AM

actually it would be nice if they had one for the Hero 9.

You can find raw lens correction data here. I doesn't look like anyone characterized the newer GoPros. It is possible to do it yourself. https://wilson.bronger.org/calibration

Thank you :)

Interesting. Voukoder will create a 5.1 surround sound 4K video. Seems only AVC. However, it does not play properly when channeled through a Roku Ultra. The rear speakers and LFE are not activated and their sound comes from the front two speakers. The file does play properly when channeled through the LG TV. Using PowerDirector to create the same file, it works fine through Roku. Weird.

Here's a link to another demo for fisheye removal in HOS using the AviDub tool. https://tools4vegas.com/remove-fisheye/

Of interest is the use of the chart at the beginning of the video for doing calibration work. It's best used if you can mount your GoPro on a tripod where you can precisely control its position. As I recall, I created the image, printed it on 8.5 x 14 paper and taped it to the wall. Although somewhat of a kluge, it works pretty well for precise estimates of lens distortion.

Thanks!!!

As a wrap up I would like to thank all of you for your insights and efforts :). For right now I am going to stick with the Vegas 19 / Voukoder combo. Vegas for color grading, HDR, and tweak to GoPro Fisheye, although it is not spot on yet. Voukoder for surround sound. I did learn how to get Voukoder to do HEVC. I was psyched up that Voukoder might do HDR and surround. What a trip that would be. But Voukoder does not show up as a template for rendering :(.

RogerS wrote on 8/20/2021, 9:49 AM

I think GPU enabled HDR support started in Voukoder... but did it ever finish?

David-Long wrote on 8/20/2021, 9:59 AM

I did see that thread also. Voukoder can do 10bit, but I do not see away for HDR even though that tread implies(?) this can be done.

RogerS wrote on 8/20/2021, 10:09 AM

Development may have paused. I'd encourage you to comment there and show interest!
