PLS. test the 25 fps sample. Check Interlace, uncheck it and IVTC appear.
When you mux into mkv container, the info text "Attachments: No" disappear.
It should be visible as long as the container is mkv. Regardless of whether the grid is still filled or empty after muxing, or if you add new files.

Should all be fixed now. Update please.

The IVTC visibility has been fixed.

Ctrl a for the global title also works well.

Wrong audio codec name has been fixed.

Mux Attachments & Chapters behavior:

The info text "Attachments: xyz" and "Chapters: xyz" is permanently visible. Good.

If no stream is selected and you check only subtitle or audio streams, Container DAR does not appear.
But it appear active or inactive when you change container.
It also appear when you check a video stream.

If no stream is selected and you check only subtitle streams, the Attachments button apper. Active for mkv container, inactive for all other containers. Good.
But in that case, the Chapters button does not appear inactive. Is that intentional?
I would show the inactive Chapters button.

When you select an audio or video stream, the Attachments and the Chapters button appear, active or inactive. Good.

When you creat chapters and go back to Multiplex and change container, the chapters get permanently deactivated when you jump over an container which does not support chapters. Which makes no sense as you can switch between mkv, mov and mp4, but not between or to 3gp or webm.

Chapters also get permanently deactivated when you check any additional stream.

"Chapters: Yes" switch between "Chapters: No" for containers which support or do not support chapters. Good.
But "Attachmens: Image and/or Font" does not switch to "Attachmens: No" when you change container.

The green info text for attachments/chapters should only be visible if there are available attachments/chapters and supported containers.
If there are available attachments/chapters, you could use red or yellow colour and/or "No" to indicate unsupported containers.

Audio encoding text "Channels (change. split. join)" still use periods instead of commas.

Since v3.4.7.02, the Cut page can not open the buggy file (link removed) any longer.
You see a white or black app window that does not respond.

EDIT:
Further note: The mkv source file from the buggy cut can no longer be loaded into cut either.
But if you remove all subtitles, it works.

The new drop-down menu for the “Join” grid works well. Thank you for adding that.

How about moving Join "Remove selected" next to "None/All"?
This way, all grid-related elements are located above the grid, as in Multiplex.

Join drop-down is using:
Remove & delete jointed cuts, Remove jointed rows, Keep jointed rows.
Is it intentional to use “jointed” instead of “joined”?

Join is not only cut related. You can also join multiple pure audio files such as MP3 files or complete video files or clips.
So it should better read "Remove & delete joined files".
EDIT: But joining only delete cuts, no other files, so it is okay as it is!

Edit #1
it seems that clever can't cut the file when the number of streams exceeds 8.

Mux grid drop-down is using:
Remove muxed streams, Clear grid after muxing.
And the checkbox!

How about removing the checkbox and use:
Remove muxed streams, Clear grid after muxing, Keep muxed streams.
The last entry has the same function as when the checkbox is not selected.

@ProWo That's disappointing to hear, has this issue been reported to the ffmpeg team, perhaps you could report it to them?

No need to report. Have found a way. Update to the last nightly 3.4.7.06

@ProWo I can happily confirm that you've fixed this issue with the latest nightly 3.4.7.06, for curiosity sake I tried the sample provided by @dave11 here https://limewire.com/d/Pj8TJ#GsrRBJirZ7 with the official v3.4.7 release & it was terribly out of sync along with the first subtitle line being omitted, don't know how you fixed it but thanks so very much again.

Does your hardware support AV1 hardware encoding?

The "Unused processed files" page display the new Join grid dropdown!

[Attachment 89653 - Click to enlarge]

[Findu]

@ ProWo

When you open Video encoding, the frame title is "Options".
When you click "Fade" it is "Fade (seconds)".
When you click "Close fade" it is "Various".

Suggestion:

The "Crop" button should always be active.
Why not using the name "Options" instead of "Close fade" button?
And once the setting remains, everyone can display whatever suits them best permanently, Options or Fade.

How about swap Interlaced and IVTC?

Ok. Then what's the workaround to export them manually and encoding them by selecting as external file in batch mode.

No chapters in batch mode, unless they are already included in the source file; in that case, they are retained.

Thank you very much for the latest changes. All of the points mentioned have been corrected.
However, I noticed the following:

Mux behaviour:

Attachment retain till you remove them or close Mux. Good for multible mkv muxing.

But when you have attachment, you can not mux into other containers.
Message: There was an error. The task failed.
That surely happens only rarely. But can it be avoided?

Chapters only get removed when the last video stream is unchecked or you close Mux or you deactivat chapters.
Let's wait and see how this works in practice when the grid also contains other video streams.

Join, Add files button does not load/display the selected file. The grid seams empty. And you get warning messages adding other files that way.

Can the Join column title name "Filename" be left-aligned as with Mux?

How about moving the Delete button above or next to the Quit button at the Unused processed files page?
In most cases, you would select Delete or Quit, and you always come from the Main page clicking the Quit button. So there is less mouse movement to reach Delete.

Could you please standardize the spacing between the individual options at the Video encoding page? Currently, the horizontal checkbox spacing is 8, 9, 10, and 11 pixels.

Can you please reduce the width of the Encode and To batch button for Audio encoding and Extract streams, so that they are the same size as on the other pages?
