Comment... Question: Are there plans to allow GPU video rendering in Reaper? It is doable in the ffmpeg, but the commands don't work with Reaper. Asked by Artur (187.19.173.x) on May 3 2023, 3:04pm Reply on May 4 2023, 1:03am: There are plans for the video processors, though on the encoder side ideally if you're using WMF or AVFoundation it should already be GPU-accelerated by the underlying framework. Not sure what it would take to get ffmpeg to use it. 3 Comments... Question: Whats your favorite Reaper release?

Do you think a lot of advice is conjured in retrospect and in fact, had they followed their advice things may not have work out? I'm not one to outright follow advice, rather pick bits and pieces that might be useful; the more I hear contradicting advice from people who are at similar positions the more I think it's all a load of bs; no one knows for certain which factors contributed to success. Asked by Jack (193.32.126.x) on April 27 2023, 3:09pm Reply on April 27 2023, 10:38pm: Sure, proving causality is extremely difficult! So the best we can do is to relate our experiences. Comment...

Question: hey justin! could you provide a hint on how the reaper video processor APIs are supposed to be used? what does getInputInfo do? do we call renderInputVideoFrame every frame? thanks! Asked by francesco (79.30.42.x) on April 26 2023, 8:42pm Reply on April 27 2023, 10:36pm: It's documented in video_processor.h: When your process_frame() is called, you can (but don't have to) call getNumInputs() to see how many inputs are upstream of you, getInputInfo() to query the track/item of a given input, and renderInputVideoFrame() to render a given input's frame. Note that by "input" I mean "video media file" or "video processor". Comment... Question: Why there's a need for three variants of swell_resgen? Are the latest additions (.pl) backwards compatible with existing .php generation for Linux host? Nice to see the embrace of Perl, I always value Perl for the benefit of not requiring extra installation in comparison to PHP. Asked by Gio (94.65.152.x) on April 26 2023, 1:26pm Reply on April 26 2023, 7:18pm: the perl version should produce the same results and will eventually be the only one :) 3 Comments...

They say it does a good job protecting your skin internally. Asked by Erin (174.65.179.x) on April 21 2023, 4:49pm Reply on April 23 2023, 3:01am: I don't like sunscreen much but end up having to use it too. Hats, of course, but the biggest factor is tracking the UV index and timing around that. IMO as long as you don't get burned you're ok, relatively (though not cosmetically perhaps), so working up to it helps. Haven't heard of astaxanthin. Comment...
