Won't install to Mac for Premier 2023 Pro...Help!

MacUser2042 — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 16:38:09 +0000

I am trying to install on my Mac for Premier Pro 2023, but seems to not be working. Wont install. Not sure why. Have provided a log below. Any thoughts?

I need to be able to open the .AVI files tight were recorded using the MagicYUV codec (mistake apparently...). Im tying to make these work.

The VLC seems to now read the files, but Adobe, dont think anything was installed, I still see the install bundles in the folders...

Any help is greatly apprecated

Thank you!

Missing frames & rapid frame flickering while editing. Starting with 2.3.1

NCXCI — Sat, 27 Nov 2021 21:47:35 +0000

I record gameplay using MagicYUV Standard in combination with MSI Afterburner (always the latest recommended version along with RTSS unless pointed out otherwise). There is a problem starting with 2.3.1 onward, where, depending on the game, video frames are seemingly missing which leads to periodic black screens in preview. For some games it leads to painful rapid flickering in editing playback. Playback in VLC seems to be fine (also latest).

The most visible examples of the issue have been when I recorded footage from Deadpool, and then testing out Final Fantasy VII and Limbo (all on Steam). Switching from the default mixed mode to desktop capture in the 'Video capture' tab can largely mitigate the rapid frame flickering for FFVII but it doesn't completely eliminate it and it doesn't stop the periodic missing frames in Deadpool.

I initially tried to give MagicYUV the benefit of the doubt, because previous problems have been solved by switching options in Afterburner.. but I researched the issue starting with 2.3.0 and I record without problem. I have also tested with the trial of the latest Dxtory, same problem. The missing frames and flickering immediately starts in use with 2.3.1. I switched back over to 2.3.2 and then went with older versions of Afterburner but that seems to just make the problems worse in certain situations where it would stop, so the latest Afterburner and RTSS versions are doing something to mitigate the issue. With that being said, I honestly can't really tell if the footage is being corrupted or not.. like I said, VLC seems to play the footage fine.

A bonus problem is that when recording Final Fantasy VII in mixed, the resolution is 1920x1440, desktop is 1080p. Recording with Dxtory doesn't have this issue.. but that could specifically just be an Afterburner problem.

Future update suggestion

VFern3 — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 20:43:12 +0000

I would like to make a suggestion for a possible future update.

Considering that it is currently possible to perform high bit depth workflows using avisynth+ and virtualdub2 namely full 16 bit workflows ( to reduce losses , rounding errors ,etc) it could be interesting, in particular to obtain intermediate outputs in complex scripts the possibility to output to 16 bit lossless, formats as interleaved/planar RGB (RGB64/RGBAP16) and planar 16 bit YUV (YUV422P16/YUV420P16).

Thanks for the hard work and excellent codec provided till now

Vegas pro 19 support

newyorkbrass — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 07:26:46 +0000

please add this in next release.

In the meantime - is there a workaround? (Other than using VFW) I tried copying the magicyuv folder in the FileIO plugins folder but vegas doesnt recognize it. Is there some kind of registration I am missing?

Macbook pro installation problem

Hello,

I bought the codec and installed it on my Windows workstation, all went well.

However when I tried to install it on my Macbook Pro I got the following error:

Detected AVX2 support

Disable Upsampling on Encoding option

ZeroWalker — Tue, 29 May 2018 16:19:39 +0000

Hi,

Would be nice if you could prevent Upsampling when encoding.

Say you got YV12, then if you disable Upsampling, it would only work with YV12 or less etc.

EDIT:

Okay think it actually already is there, it doesn't work, it's just that Virtualdub shows it,

which is probably Virtualdubs fault, unless the Filter is seens as compatible.

RGB being on the Top.

Maybe there is and just haven't found it though?

Full Range washed out

sweekly — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 22:36:25 +0000

When I capture using MagicYUV 420 with Full Range enabled I get a washed out image. This doesn't happen when I capture using a raw 420 format.

Here's some screenshots that show this:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ih9SXayQEgNTnEv32WhohEXHV79fNEm7/view?usp=sharing

Just to clarify on my capture process, I'm using an Elgato 4K60 Pro with the latest firmware, VirtualDub, Version 2.0 of MagicYUV and my OS is Windows 10. In the images above I'm capturing from a PS4 Pro outputting at 2160p RGB with the RGB Range set to Full Range.

V410

VFern3 — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 20:41:27 +0000

It would be great if the codec could support v410 ( yuv 4:4:4 - 10 bit) in a future release.

Thanks

File informations suggestion

LionSpeck — Sun, 18 Dec 2016 14:04:48 +0000

I have some features request on the new release of the codec: firstly, file previews. For the 8-bit files (both YUV and RGB(A) as far as I've tried) previews work just fine, just as you'd expect; for 10/12/14 bit files, previews don't work, you just see the "video" icon (or in my case the VLC icon). Of course it's not a dealbreaker, but it'd be nice if solved. The second request I have is some sort of "dictionary" implemented in the codec itself that tells QT which preset you chose when encoding the file, to distinguish between YUV (444, 422, 420, 400), RGB(A) and different bit depths. With "dictionary", I mean the actual name corresponding to the format ID that you can see with a program like MediaInfo, which (as you can see in the image) tells you only the format ID instead of a "full and understandable" name.
