Change log may be found here. https://tools4vegas.com/wp-content/uploads/HappyOtter-Change-Log.pdf
New Features
- RenderPlus—added option to use media properties for event renders rather than project settings
- Added 422 and 444 chroma subsampling options for compatible codecs including X264, x265, MagicYUV, UtVideo, and Mpeg-2 (422 only) for all rendering tools (Render+, RenderEvents, ImportAssist, etc.)
- UHD monitor support
- ImportAssist-chapter information now shown when FileInfo is selected
- AviDub—added checkbox to enable RGB32 FrameServer renders thus eliminating the need for conversion inside of Avisynth for certain filters such as defish.

- Color matrix setting of “None” now truly none with no conversion to YUV—previously defaulted

Just added a new free tool, Audio Sync and Remux, that enables the user to adjust the audio sync of previously rendered MP4 files. This enables an easy fix to files rendered with such apps as Handbrake and the Voukoder renderer inside of Vegas that produce files in which the audio stream is roughly 44 ms early. It also enables the user to simply replace the audio stream of the rendered file with the audio stream of a replacement file. Here is a screen grab of the UI.
Note that it does require the installation of FFmpeg. The only requirement is the executable “ffmpeg.exe” must be included in the user variable path of Environment Variables. For those having HOS installed, nothing more is required.
It can be downloaded here. https://tools4vegas.com/library/

May 17, 2020 at 2:08 am in reply to: Best way to edit audio without re-encoding video / remuxIn case you’re still interested, I just finished a standalone app that might do exactly what you want. I originally wrote it just to correct for audio sync problems in MP4 renders that make use of apps like Handbrake or Voukoder inside of Vegas, but expanded it to enable the user to replace the audio stream from the original file with the audio stream from a replacement file. No re-rendering–just copying and remuxing. Here’s a screen grab.
Its a free tool that can be downloaded here. https://tools4vegas.com/library/ Note that it does require installation of ffmpeg which you probably already have. Just make sure the executable can reached from the user path variable in Environment Variables.

You need to post a MediaInfo screengrab of the avi file you are trying to import. AVI is just a container. It all depends on the format of the videostream inside the container. Without seeing more information, no one can help.

Just added a new tool, Quantize To Frames, that enables the user to selectively quantize the positions of events, fades, markers, regions, and render loop in/out points to the nearest frame boundary. Such a tool can be useful if one inadvertently fails to restore the Quantize to Frames option (Alt-F8) or is using clips with different frame rates. I should add that the script is partially based on an early javascript written by Randall Campbell of Peach Rock Productions in the early days of Vegas. Here is a screen grab of the UI.

2) Yes. This can easily be done outside of Vegas using either paid or open source software. By far, the best is FFmpeg which is more or less the Swiss Army Knife of video/audio editing. The downside is that it’s a Command Line app which requires a bit of a learning curve. Paid apps would include such software as VideoRedo or TMPGEnc’s MPEG Smart Renderer, both of which will do smart-rendering in addition to simple re-muxing. They also have a nice UI that makes it pretty easy. The downside is cost.If you want to try FFmpeg, I can provide you with an example CommandLine that will do what you want. Here is a link for the free download. https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/. Just make sure that you choose the 64bit version. Like most everything else, it’s pretty simple “once you know how”.

May 5, 2020 at 3:24 pm in reply to: Instances of Vegas still running after the program has been closedGlad it’s working for you. I’ve found that having the KillAll app pinned to your taskbar is a real time-saver whenever Vegas hangs (which inevitably it will so it seems) and you have to open Task Manager to kill the process.
