About VapourSynth

A video processing framework with simplicity in mind

What's new in R81

  • improved gpu up/download speed
  • fixed memory model for gpu filters that export memory to cuda/vulkan, input frames they take are copied at most once per source frame and shared between requests
  • fixed access violation in matroska muxer
  • fixed missing includes in anticipation of libc++ 23 insanity
  • logging is now much less likely to create deadlocks
  • requests for negative frame numbers are now simply clamped unlike before where it was a fatal error to request negative frame numbers
  • setmaxcpu no longer accepts random strings
  • fixed avisynth compat having flipped rgb and added rgbs support
  • many small bug fixes and improved error messages
