Enabling Even Greater Freedom for Creative Expression


TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 supports Timeline Mode in addition to Normal Mode, where clips are simply arranged sequentially. Timeline editing allows you to use layers for video and audio, enabling creative effects that are difficult in Normal Mode, such as picture-in-picture and animation effects. Version 8 adds many new features to Timeline Mode, enabling more advanced and imaginative editing.

 

 

A Wide Range of Features to Support Creativity

 Easy Picture-in-Picture Creation in the Preview

In TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8's Timeline Mode, anyone can easily create a picture-in-picture effect by positioning and resizing clips directly in the Preview area. Furthermore, the Crop Mode function allows you to freely trim and place video clips within the preview.


 

 Freely Control Transform Animations

Add an animation or transform effect to a video or text clip, which can be easily created by automatically setting keyframes in the timeline simply by dragging the clip in the Preview area. No complicated operations are required. By combining this with the "Easing" (acceleration/deceleration) function, you can expand the expressive and creative possibilities of your video.

 Animated Text Function

Implemented Text Animation function alongside transform animations. You can choose from over 100 templates to easily enhance your video with high-quality visual effects. It also offers detailed options such as per-character or per-word display and random animation styles.

 Time Remap Function

You can freely control a clip's speed, including fast, slow, reverse, or pause, simply by moving the key points. In TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8, you can easily set a fixed pause duration after changing the speed, further expanding the range of creative effects using pauses.

 

 Karaoke-Style Text Function

In addition to the normal text function, the "Karaoke Wipe Effect" allow text effects to change over time. By simply adjusting the angle of a key point along the timeline, you can quickly create your own karaoke-style video. This function can also be used for other purposes, such as narration or speech.


 

 Audio Synchronization for Multi-Cam Video

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 features a new clip audio synchronization function. It analyzes each clip's audio to determine video timing and automatically synchronizes their relative positions. Even videos of the same scene shot with different cameras can be easily aligned.

 

 Batch Clip Property Changes Supported

Supports batch changes to properties (duration, transformation, effects, etc.) for multiple selected clips, a feature not available in previous versions. In addition, batch changes to text strings and fonts are now supported for text clips, greatly improving editing efficiency.

 

 Middle-Click Drag to Move the Timeline Ruler

Supports dragging the timeline ruler with the middle mouse button to move the time axis. This allows for more precise and smoother movement than using the scroll bar, improving editing efficiency.

 

 Drag to Duplicate Clip or Filter Ranges

With TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8, you can easily duplicate video and audio clips, texts, and filter ranges by dragging them while holding CTRL and left-clicking. This allows you to quickly duplicate and apply the same clips and filters without using copy and paste, helping to reduce work time.

 

 Enable/Disable Option
Added for Video and Audio Clips

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 adds new enable/disable options to video and audio clip properties. This makes it easy to switch between video-only and audio-only. When replacing part of a video + audio clip with different audio, you can simply overlay* the new audio clip to complete the task. In addition, tasks such as inserting self-censorship sounds into specific parts of clips can now be performed more smoothly.

* Turn off the [Enable Video] option for the overlay audio clip. If it is enabled, a black image will appear.

 

 Custom Frame Rate Settings Added in Timeline

Custom frame rate settings have been added to the timeline settings, a feature that could not be set arbitrarily in previous versions. This allows frame rates of up to 1000 fps*, enabling editing that perfectly matches the source video.

* The maximum frame rate depends on the output format.

 

 Enhanced Pre-Installed Assets

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 comes with over 170 types of title backgrounds and frame materials as pre-installed assets. In this version, animated assets have been added in addition to still images. You can easily create videos by simply dragging them onto the timeline.


 

 Enhanced Text Function

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 further enhances its Text functions, including the equal distribution of space and background color settings.


 

 More Filters Available on the Timeline

Previously, the filters available for use on the timeline were limited compared to those that could be applied to individual clips. In the latest version, many timeline-compatible filters are now available*, expanding the range of filtering across clips and layers and contributing to more efficient editing.

* Not all filters are available.


Powerful Output Settings Made Simple
For Beginners to Professionals

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8's output settings window allows simple operation by selecting a template, while providing the highest classed advanced settings in the world. It is designed for a wide variety of purposes, suitable for beginners to professionals.

 

 

 Just Select According to Your Purpose

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 provides abundant output templates for different purposes and formats. By simply selecting the template you want to use, other parameters such as resolution, aspect ratio, and frame rate are automatically set based on the edited clip or timeline settings.


 

 Automatic Bitrate Detection

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 implements an automatic mode for bitrate settings, which analyzes the clip or timeline information and sets the bitrate automatically. By automating the bitrate calculation process, which can be especially difficult for beginners, you can output your project without worrying about the bitrate in most cases. You can also manually set the bitrate based on the target media or desired output size.


 

 Auto-Apply Source Information

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 features a new [Reflect Source Information] function, which automatically applies information such as the resolution and frame rate of the source clip to the output settings. With a single click, you can apply optimal settings for both video and audio, streamlining your workflow. This eliminates the need for tedious fine-tuning, providing a comfortable editing environment for beginners and advanced users alike.


 

 New Output Resolution Templates

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 features new templates that allow you to easily set the output resolution with a single selection. This greatly simplifies the previously manual resolution-setting process, enabling smoother and more efficient output.


 

 Improved Custom Settings

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 allows you to customize the frame rate** in addition to the aspect ratio settings*. This gives you the freedom to set the frame rate according to your needs, rather than being limited to the fixed options in previous versions, enabling more flexible output videos.

* This option supports only pixel aspect ratio.

** Restrictions may apply depending on the video format.


 

 Vertical Video Support

For YouTube and mobile output settings, vertical video settings are newly supported. In addition to automatic resolution detection, you can switch to a vertical resolution with just a single click.


 

 Powerful Detailed Settings in Setup Screen

For each output format, you can access enhanced, detailed settings for more advanced control. Since many of the settings offer a high degree of freedom and adjustability, related items dynamically adjust while keeping their parameters in sync with the selected video standard. This ensures you won't accidentally output a non-standard file, allowing you to take full advantage of the wide variety of settings without worry.

 

Other Features

Besides the aforementioned functions, TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 includes even more features. Give them a try for yourself!

 

 TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller Support

Supports "TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller", an auxiliary controller that allows you to control cut-editing operations in TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 from your iPhone or iPad. When used in combination with a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals, this controller offers more options for user operations based on your preferences, making editing smarter than ever.

 

 Batch Output Feature

You can pre-register multiple projects in the Batch Encode Tool, allowing you to output them sequentially, one after another. Some projects may require a long time to process due to complex filtering, HD video, or re-encoding, or perhaps because your PC isn't that powerful. With the batch tool, you can register multiple projects and let them output one after the other while you work on other tasks. It also supports the creation of proxy files.


 

 Enhanced Slideshow Creation

You can easily create a slideshow movie by simply specifying photos or folders containing photos. TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 8 adds a motion blur function to image transitions, further enhancing expressiveness. You can also set the background color to fill any gaps in the video with your preferred color.


 

 Project Archiving

Allows you to save the current project as an archive file along with its related source files. This lets you open, move, and use your project anywhere without relying on the original paths of the source files.

 

 Commercial Candidates Detector Plug-in Support
(Sold Separately)

Supports the "TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in Commercial Candidates Detector", an extension plug-in that analyzes clips and detects the most likely commercial break positions.
* The serial key for the previous TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in Commercial Candidates Detector cannot be used with this version. A dedicated serial key must be purchased.
