TimeBolt should not take hours to render a file. Two possible reasons:

1. Settings -- make sure 'detect silences shorter than' value is .5 or higher. A lower value results in many cuts that take longer to render.

2. Your video is recorded at a Variable Frame Rate. You need to record at a constant frame rate.

1. Make sure your firewall is not blocking the connection attempt. Norton antivirus is known to block installation of DLLs on Windows OS. Disable Norton, install TimeBolt exe, enter key-code, then re-enable Norton.

2. TimeBolt works on up to 2 machines. If you try and use on over two machines, it will log users out. To use on more than two machines, you must purchase another license. 

If TimeBolt is unable to render with CUDA Acceleration turned on, please make sure you're running the latest Nvidia Drivers (456.38 or later).

TimeBolt puts video longer than 60 minutes long into 1-hour chunks. Click 'Select Preview Chunk' to edit long-form footage on a timeline. See features here

No. XML will not support speed ramp. To use FastForward you have to filter native in TimeBolt.

Yes, TimeBolt will read multiple audio tracks in an MP4 file. You can select to include all or choose which tracks to ignore. 

If you filter native in TimeBolt the file will be flattened into a single audio track with the ignored audio re-synced after the cuts are made. 

If you export via XML into Premier/FCXP or EDL into Resolve, all audio tracks will be imported and can be modified as separate tracks but newly synced to the cuts. 

To manually remove silence cuts via XML/EDL, upon opening TimeBolt, go to ‘File’ —> ’Settings’, and opt to keep all cuts where you can manually delete silent tracks inside a supported NLE.

See video hub for exact instructions for Premiere and FCXP: https://www.timebolt.io/video-hub

Yes. Two options:

1. Save as Json file and apply with Adobe Premiere plugin. Read more.

2. Export cuts as an XML file. TimeBolt supports multiple bit rates 29.97 / 30 & 59.94 / 60 fps, keeps audio tracks attached, and you can specify which audio tracks if any in an MP4 to ignore when deleting silence.

When importing into Premier both left and right stereo tracks are maintained. See video hub for how to enable audio tracks once XML is imported into premier.

We have tested the EDL output with a number of NLE’s. At this time Adobe Premier does not seem to accurately support EDL imports. But don’t worry…ever try DaVinci Resolve? With TimeBolt’s EDL feature you can even specify which audio tracks to filter or ignore. Tested at multiple frame rates as well.

With the release of version 2.5.0 TimeBolt can process any length of video! The software cuts the media into 1-hr chunks, and recompiles as a filtered file. Again, expect a 1:1 processing time which also depends on the speed of your machine. But it’ll happen in the background, while you do whatever you want.

Set 'Filter Below Sound Level' to -30 to -40 db.

For split time the default and recommended value is .5.

For left padding recommended time is .04. Right padding is .15 to prevent early cutoff of words.

See how-to tutorial in video hub. 

TimeBolt now supports all major video and audio formats / frame rates!

Video = 30 – 45 minutes of processing time per 30 minutes of show.

Audio = 5 minutes of processing time per 30 minutes of show.

For larger files, 1 minute of 4K footage takes TimeBolt 1 minute and 20 seconds to process. 

The free version with the watermark can take twice as long to filter!
