Loudnorm PRO is a cross-platform GUI tool for batch audio normalization of video files using FFmpeg.

Supports modern hardware acceleration:

  • NVIDIA (NVENC)
  • AMD (AMF on Windows, VAAPI on Linux)
  • CPU (x265)

🚀 Features

  • 🎧 EBU R128 loudness normalization (2-pass loudnorm)

  • 🎬 Batch processing (multiple files or folders)

  • ⚡ Hardware encoding support:

    • HEVC NVENC (NVIDIA)
    • HEVC AMF (AMD Windows)
    • HEVC VAAPI (Linux AMD)
    • HEVC x265 (CPU fallback)
  • 📊 Audio track preview (language detection)

  • 🔁 Resume interrupted jobs

  • 🧠 Smart overwrite system (safe temp handling)

  • 🎨 Dark / Light UI

⚠️ Notes

  • Overwrite replaces original file only after successful processing
  • Temporary files are used to prevent data loss
  • Hardware encoding availability depends on your system and drivers

🧪 Tested Systems

Windows

  • NVIDIA RTX 5090 → NVENC ✔
  • AMD RX 9070 XT → AMF ✔

Linux

  • AMD RX 9070 XT → VAAPI ✔

🛠️ Known Limitations

  • VAAPI options depend on driver support
  • AMF encoder is sensitive to parameter combinations
  • FFmpeg must be properly installed and accessible
