VodKeeper

A unified workflow application for video processing and management, integrating all workflows from R:\Videos\mux into one executable with UI.

Overview

VodKeeper is designed to streamline video processing workflows by providing a single, user-friendly interface for all video-related tasks previously handled through various scripts and tools.

Features

• Input Tab: File selection, encoding settings (codec, preset, CQ), bitrate management, preview encoding
• Render Tab: Progress monitoring, queue management, live FFmpeg output, pause/stop controls
• QC Tab: Quality control checks, frame-by-frame comparison, visual verification

Setup

1. Install Python Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Install FFmpeg (if not already installed):

   • Windows: Download from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
   • Or use: winget install ffmpeg

4. Run the Application:

   python run.py
   # or
   python vodkeeper.py
   

Usage

Input Tab

• Browse and select input directory
• Choose encoding settings (h265_nvenc, vp9, av1)
• Set preset (p1-p7, default p7)
• Configure CQ value (0-51, default 0)
• Auto-detect or manually set bitrate cap
• Preview encode (1 minute test)

Render Tab

• Add files to render queue
• Monitor progress with live FFmpeg output
• Pause/stop rendering operations
• View queue status and progress

QC Tab

• Select source and output files for comparison
• Run quality control checks
• Compare frames side-by-side
• Export QC reports

Development

This project uses:

• Tkinter for the UI
• ffmpeg-python for video processing
• OpenCV for frame analysis
• Pillow for image handling
