export would be a very nice start.

Hi there.
Where can I download this codec?

I bought two licenses of Davinci Studio and I feel it is very hard to find support and information about the software.

I wish I could have an account where I can download the software with all the codecs needed to have the software run properly.

Can you help me and tell me where I can download these codecs? I am using Windows

Thank you

BMD should buy them out

Mainconcept is doing fine and don't need any new owner.
Stop thinking that 1 company owning everything is a good thing.
It's far from it.

Don't assume too much

It was just a joke.

But,... since Resolve is using the host capabilities to write h264/5 files (they are terrible), I wouldn't mind.
It's like having a Ferrari, but you have to buy a separate thing from a third party to unlock its full potential.

BMD is one of the good company out there with Grant's philosophy.

So, shouldn’t Microsoft buy them?
BTW, they are behind AME and I doubt Adobe wouldn’t have made a contract to avoid them being bought by direct competition.

Mainconcept is under the hood of about all professional tools out there- from Adobe, Telestream to Autodesk.

Adding AAC audio support for import and export in Linux would indeed be a significant enhancement.

Firstly, I'll start with how I render my x265 files.

ffmpeg -hwaccel cuvid -i "%file%%ext%" -c:a aac -b:a 384k -c:v hevc_nvenc -preset %speed% -rc-lookahead:v 64 -cq:v %quality% -pix_fmt p010le "FFMPEG___%file%%ext%"

It's part of a .bat script in the "sendTo" folder of Windows. So it appears under a right click on a file.
It prompts for the CQ quality (I use 30 for the less important thing, and 24 for what I really want to preserve. Lower sometimes), and "slow or medium" for the -preset

It works well, it's consistant, and I have great results. It's a two steps process. I export a high quality file with the DNxHR codec from Davinci Resolve, then I use FFMPEG.

I tried the trial of the plugin pack a couple month after it came out a while back. The speed was on par with ffmpeg, same with the quality. I almost bought it, but even if it's not that costly, I

But I'm starting to get tired of this two step process. Even if it works very well for me, with a very consistant good quality/manageable file size, I would like to cut down on the rendering time. And doing it all from Resolve would be nice.

If anyone has as similar type of experience (exporting a high quality/high bitrate file then using whatever 3rd party software to encode the final video with it), and switched to the mainconcept plugin, did you find and drawback? How did it go? What's the general experience?

Thanks

Shutter Encoder is based on ffmpeg and has a watch folder. What about rendering into that from DR?

Shutter encoder is indisponible. It is an excellent alternative to media encoder.
I bought the resolve MP4 AAC encoder plugin and don't regret it. Life is too short.
