Vegas 22 and Voukoder

Sean-Lester wrote on 1/17/2025, 8:51 PM

Though I've been using Vegas for some time I've added Voukoder and now I'm completely out of my element. If someone can give me a base to start from that'd be great! Currently using Vegas 22, the latest Voukoder and Nvidia RTX 4060 in an eGPU. Have been rendering with Magix avc setting and Im looking to tweak and use more GPU

Thanks in advance

For MagixAVC try the "NVENC" preset to use the GPU.

NVENC (h264/AVC) through Voukoder is similar if slightly faster.

Which version of Voukoder do you have installed, Voukoder Classic or the new Voukoder Pro ?

Sean-Lester wrote on 1/18/2025, 7:31 AM

Voukoder Pro

Update, I finally found a download for classic. It has an interface I can understand and use. Thanks for pointing me in that direction Steve!

I purchased Voukoder Pro this past week. I am running Vegas Pro 22. The Voukoder render setting will not show up in Vegas Pro when I go to render as. I posted this on the Voukoder website with photos. Daniel is looking into this with Magix. I do not know if it's my system or a Voukoder problem with Vegas? I do have a clean install of Windows 11 Pro with all updates installed. Will wait for answer from Daniel for a solution.

Same issue I was having, I found and installed Voukoder Classic and have the settings now

Yes I gave up with the pro version a while ago and just use classic which will do all you need with Vegas. I always use Voukoder now to render.

Now I find that if in settings>video>options any changes I make, strategy for instance, do not save. If I change VBR settings then go to another tab or press OK they revert back to Constant Quantizer

I customise a template and save it with a new name so it always loads with same settings.

The latest Voukoder (classic) was also available with a connector for VP22.

I luckily dowloaded it before. I don't like Voukoder Pro (and I even don't like Vegas without Voukoder). So I'm afraid that I will have a problem with upcoming VegasPro23...without Voukoder.

Are you able to upload the connector somewhere so i can get it? you can just pm me or something if its against any rules :)

As an fyi, I found the vp22 connector is still available on this github page... https://github.com/FORARTfe/voukoder-connectorsFREE

From the github page: "These connectors require voukoder 2.3 or later."

Do yoy know where I can find voukoder 2.3 or later?

That same github user has another page where it looks like there are 158 voukoderFREE versions archived. Just click on his name in the upper left of his connector page to see all of his other ones. Looks like they were all forked off the original Voukoder github pages that have since been removed.

I wonder if anyone has tried/decided to use Voukoder Pro. I found it (the trial) just too complicated compared to the excellent free version. The Pro version is about £65 I think. I ended up using Happy Otter Render+ instead and it meets all my needs (I already purchased HOS a few years ago) and for the money, about £60 is a massive bargain as it also has many, many, other useful tools included. Plus Wayne is also pleased to help with any issue you may have. I am very grateful for all the use I have had from the free Voukoder.

Sadly, those aren't packages that can be used for install. Maybe a programmer can, but not a normal end user. Any chance of getting a hold of the last free version? I can't afford to pay that much for a rendering plugin.

RogerS wrote on 8/16/2025, 10:26 PM

@Torrboll Voukoder always came as .msi packages which are executables. I'm a normal user and that's how I installed it originally.
