Vegasaur plugin accuracy with FFmpeg

fridock-s wrote on 7/7/2022, 1:39 PM

So I tried trial of new Vegasaur just to test it's ability to split videos without reencoding and I noticed that the timings on the output are very inaccurate, it's adding from 2 to 10 extra seconds to my cut clips sometimes with glitched audio.
I submitted a bugreport but so far didn't receive any response.
Can someone share experience with using Vegasaur's Encodless Trim functionality?

bug?

"Please note that Smart Trim IS NOT frame accurate - it can only cut at keyframes, which can be several seconds a part. In most video formats it is not possible to cut on exact frames w/o re-encoding (since not all frames are intra-coded), so Smart Trim will try to cut at the closest points before and after the selected range.

I see - so this is expected behavior

VideoSmartTrim in HappyOtterScripts is frame accurate without re-encoding. Although it also cuts on I-frames, it then matches the first frame of the timeline event with frames in the cut video to provide an accurate offset.

Here's a link to a demo. https://tools4vegas.com/smart-video-trim/

Does it work with Vegas 19?

Can we buy only the SmartVideoTrim plugin, when others aren't needed?
The same issue with Vegasaur.. I make 3d videos with 2 different cams, so the steroscopic 3d extension is very helpful (apply stereoscopic 3d adjust with auto correct option), but frankly i don't need any other extension, so the $100 price for the whole toolkit is too much.
Why can't we buy only what we need?
