Export using x265 encoder - Possible to set encoding profile to "veryslow"

Help/How To
1

Disclaimer: I already know from using Avidemus that the veryslow option make the encoding process take long time. This is no issue however.

I’ve tried a couple of suggestion of that to enter in the “Other” tab in order to achieve the veryslow option for the video encoding - however all attempts ended seemingly with Shotcut just ignoring the text.

The following text (two separate attempts, one single line text each time) is attempted, but without any change:

general.preset=veryslow
x265-params=preset=veryslow

Therefore I ask here on how to override the default x265 encoding parameters in order to achieve the preset veryslow ?

Thanks

preset=veryslow

This should have been obvious if you clicked the “HEVC Main Profile” preset because it already has preset=medium. It is strongly recommended to choose the closest preset before making changes. Some presets set some non-obvious things that do not have a UI.

Thanks. I’ll try that tomorrow
