What is Voukoder?

IMPORTANT: Voukoder is not available anymore

Vouk has deleted all releases of Voukoder, and is promoting it's graph-based successor, on sale for 69EUR with a 14 day limited trial license.

If you have existing Core and Connector installations, they still work, but Vouk left no available archives

  • The core is licensed under GPL, which anyone could bring back to life with updated ffmpeg dependencies (be careful with the branding, Vouk made that clear on the discord)
  • The connectors have always been proprietary

There won't be any redistribution of the connectors unless explicitly permitted by Vouk (which I doubt will ever happen)

Voukoder is a plugin NLEs that lets you export using ffmpeg encoders and filters (notably for Upscaling)

The currently documented Voukoder plugins on ctt.cx are:

  • VEGAS Pro
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Adobe After Effects

  • DaVinci Resolve Studio(1)

    1. The paid DaVinci Resolve 'Studio' edition is required

      The free version does not support plugins!

Installation

Open PowerShell and paste in the following command

iex(irm tl.ctt.cx);Install-Voukoder

The script goes through the following steps:

  1. Scan for an active Voukoder Core installation
    • If it is not up to date / installed, download and run the latest installer passively
  2. Look for video editor process names
    • If there is no connector for it installed, download and run the latest installer with NLE installation directory
  3. Display a list of render templates to import

Installing the Core

You must first install the Voukoder Classic Core, only after will you install a connector which acts as the NLE-specific plugin.

Installing the Connector

If the connector fails to find your video editor, and simply proposes C:\

then you MUST manually locate and indicate where to install it.

  1. Search VEGAS up in your search menu and right click it -> Open file location

  2. You'll most likely end up in your start menu's program shortcuts, in that case right click the selected shortcut again and click Open file location again

  3. If it opens a folder containing vegas..0.exe, copy the folder path(1) and paste this

    1. If not come ask for support on Discord

Paste in the following folder path:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore\

This folder path worked for me when it didn't propose it, if you know more about this please contribute.
