Title: Use of advanced configuration info
Post by: Rosssiiii on June 02, 2020, 09:49:45 AM
Hello :)

I would like to ask why if you decide to configure interlacing on active you can no longer configure "preset, tuning and profile" from that comfortable home screen?

That is, if you set the interlacing you are forced to accept the settings: preset_ultrafast; tuing_none; profile_baseline, you can't change that anymore ?

Preset, tuning and profile are not applied in any form when "Use advanced configuration" is checked, in the current implementation of the x264 plugin in Avidemux they are mutually exclusive.

There is a good reason for this behaviour as all the "advanced" settings override whatever preset and tuning specify. On the other hand, profile overrides all other settings, so the GUI code would need to check what a profil exactly allows and what not, which is pretty difficult to implement, I think.
