If you install VIAN manually (without the installer from the homepage), the following Software Tools need to be present:
python3
VLC 64-bit Version
Movie Files¶
Before you start a new Project, consider the following points concerning video format, computational resources etc.: VIAN handles a wide variety of film codecs and container (file) formats. However consider following important notes regarding the movie file.
We test VIAN with h264 and h265 encoded .mp4 movies.
h264 ensures performance of VIAN, however the compression has an impact on the movie quality
h265 ensures a good quality, may however effect the performance of VIAN depending on your computer
(detail) Make sure that the compression method does not include skipped frames
(detail) Movie and audio channel have to have the same length
System Requirements¶
Depending on the Task and tools one plans to use, VIAN requires different amounts of resources.
Minimal Requirements:
5 GB Disc Storage
8 GB Ram
Decent Processor
Recommended Requirements:
5 GB Disc Storage
16 GB Ram
Very decent Processor :-)
Since VIAN computes the colorimetry of each frame of the movie when you start a new project, this process may take some while.
