We are happy to introduce Major Summer release 2024 with a multitude of enhancements, unicode versions, bug fixes and UI improvements. Nowadays popular GoPro cameras and Samsung flagship smartphones can record 5K/6K/8K video which cannot be reproduced on TVsets and smartphones produced by other brands and older versions. It goes without saying that any manipulations with 5K/6K/8K video files such as trimming, cutting, merging and others are out of the question.
Following the latest video trends and market demands, the summer release aims at better performance on multi-core processors and wider compatibility with modern devices allowing to work with 5K/6K/8K video.
Let’s focus on the main release features.
The previous update offered unicode versions of AVS Video Converter, AVS Image Converter and utilities. In this release unicode versions of all video programs are rolled out: AVS Video Editor, AVS Video ReMaker, AVS Video Recorder and AVS Screen Capture. If you have forgotten what is meant by a unicode version, you can read the previous release notes here.
You can enable AMD AMF (Advanced Media Framework) hardware decoder on AMD GPU (integrated or discrete) for H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1 video codecs. At the moment it supports Bit depth of 8-bits only.
By an experimental version it is meant that there is no guarantee that AMD AMF hardware decoder will be working like a clockwork on your computer. The more experimental data is gained, the faster we will be able to put it into production.
Bulky videos, filmed with GoPro cameras and Samsung brand new smartphones, with codecs H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1, MPEG-4 are supported.
AVS Video Converter can open, reproduce video on preview, export audio and convert such files preserving the original resolution if you choose Frame Size – Original setting. Another option is to convert 5K/6K/8K video files lowering their resolution up to SD/HD/FHD/2K/4K.
AVS Video ReMaker allows to open, cut, merge 5K/6K/8K video and save output files with the original resolution whereas AVS Video Editor can export 5K/6K/8K video only to SD/HD/FHD/2K/4K.
All things considered, we recommend you using AVS Video ReMaker which power and capabilities are often underestimated. However, in this particular aspect AVS Video ReMaker outperforms AVS Video Editor allowing you to make quick edits with 5K/6K/8K video files.
The number of logical processors (LPUs) for H.265/HEVC and VP9 software decoders has been optimized, i.e. the maximum number is limited by the frame size. As a result, there is no excessive consumption of virtual memory which led to program crashes when opening heavy videos in the past. These changes ensure better stability, and in some cases even accelerated video decoding.
As for H.264/AVC common software encoder, the number of working threads has been optimized. It has proved to produce a positive effect on rendering so that virtual memory consumption is reduced and the likelihood of process crashes is significantly minimized.
Video caching scheme has been optimized in AVS Video Editor. Now, if there is a queue of files comprising images and videos to be cached, images will be cached first according to their order in the project. After that videos will be cached on the basis of their file size, smaller videos come first.
Video caching can be put on hold automatically while a project is being opened in the program or if there is not enough virtual memory. It ensures better performance and stability.
You can select a specific area to which a filter will be applied in a rectangular, ellipse or polygon form in AVS Video Editor and AVS Video Converter, unlike in the previous versions when filters could be added only to the entire frame.
Now you can choose any cover from imported audio files for your MP3/M4B audiobooks or upload your own. Moreover, it is possible to save original covers for each chapter of a new MP3 audiobook. There can be many chapters in an MP3 audiobook, each of which having its own cover. In contrast, a newly created M4B aubook includes plenty of audio files, chapters, but there is only one output file with a single cover for the entire audiobook.
From now on you can work smoother with MP4/M4V/MOV/F4V/3GP video, M4A/M4B audio and HEIC image files that previously had issues during import and conversion. Problems such as crashes, freezes, image scattering, desynchronization will be minimized or completely fixed.
The internal error CUDA_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY was fixed when initializing the NVIDIA decoder, which caused the application to freeze when opening video with HEVC 10-bit/12-bit, VP9 10-bit/12-bit codecs on the new NVIDIA drivers 551.x/552.x. The problem was detected in January – April 2024.
