Full Version: Encoding presets save color matrix
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I made an x264 preset with many custom settings, which I use for SD and HD video.

The issue is that when I created this XML preset, the loaded video was BT.709 (because HD), but when I encoded several SD videos with this presets, I noticed color changes when I realized Hybrid completely ignored the input color matrix and instead applied the preset color matrix.

It's strange because input-related characteristics like resolution or fps are not saved in the XML preset, as it should be, but -colormatrix is saved inside it, which can messes encodings without us realizing.
In what order do you call what?
iirc- 'to input' atm. only reacts when the source changes, so if you first load the source, then load the configuration the 'to input'functionality is probably not triggered.
=> will try to look into it tomorrow.

I load first the video, then apply the preset (which is a pretty logical order for everyone I guess). I think color matrix shouldn't be written in XML, it'd solve everything Smile

Thank you
If 'to input' was added in Hybrid and without it. it totally makes sense to save the color matrix&co.
=> I'll look into it tomorrow and will probably adjust Hybrid to re-trigger all the 'to input' options if they exist after a profile gets loaded.
Thinking about it, the problem might not be the that Hybrid doesn't try to adjust the values, but that I might have forgotten to remove the 'source_...' values from the models.
Got home, had a quick look at it and uploaded a new dev.
Let me know whether that version fixes the problem for you.
(and hopefully didn't create new problems)

It's fixed, even with the old xml preset, now the color matrix of the video is always retrieved. ThanksĀ  Smile
