Which one should I download?

Standalone application: Use this if you use video editing software that doesn't support the plugins offered, you want a drop-in replacement for ntscQT, or you really need fine-grained control over interlacing.

If you're using Kdenlive, Blender, the free version of Hitfilm, Final Cut, or any web-based video editing software, you'll need to use the standalone application.
OpenFX plugin: Use this if your video editing software supports OpenFX plugins.

OpenFX-compatible editing software includes DaVinci Resolve, MAGIX Vegas (nee Sony Vegas), Hitfilm Pro, Nuke, and possibly the paid version of Filmora.
After Effects/Premiere plugin: What it says on the tin. Use this if you edit using the Adobe suite.

System requirements

Windows: 10 or newer. Windows 7 is not supported.

Linux: Latest LTS release of most distributions.

Other platforms

If you don't have a computer that runs Windows, macOS, or Linux (for instance, a mobile device or a Chromebook), try the web app.

What's new

Sorry I haven't been as active on this project lately. I've been working on other things for the past several months, but I've still found time to add a few features and fix some bugs.

Folders for presets

The preset manager now properly displays folders:

folders.mp4

More optimization

I've been optimizing various parts of ntsc-rs for the past few months, and the effect should now be 30-35% faster!

Video rendering speed won't speed up by that much, because the bottleneck there is in video encoding. However, the live preview should be a lot faster.

As always, the best way to improve performance and faithful 1990s accuracy is to resize your videos to 480p.

Check for updates

In the "Help" menu, you can now check for updates from within ntsc-rs itself!

This is not an auto-updater. ntsc-rs will never connect to the internet by itself or "phone home", and will only make a network request if you click "check for updates".

Web version!

This is where much of the development effort has been going. Many people have asked for a version of ntsc-rs that runs on mobile devices and web browsers, and cutting-edge web APIs now make it possible!

There are many limitations compared to the desktop version, but it's great if you're using a mobile device or Chromebook. Try it out now!

For installation instructions and further guidance, see the Getting Started guide on the ntsc-rs website.
