TMPGEnc KARMA Plus 2 is a dedicated application that can centrally manage browsing, searching, classification, comparison, and more of many movie files saved on your computer. Recently, recording or content formats are largely changing from pictures into movies because of the progression of technology such as the communications infrastructure or smart phones. Now, an over-abundance of video files can occupy a PC's hard drive, and a solution is needed to manage this continuously increasing amount of video files.

All features


Achieves blazing fast video file management by simple structures.

Just drag 'n drop to simply and rapidly categorize your files.

In TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2, your video files can be managed by adding categories. Since the registered files (clips) in TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 are listed and displayed, you can finish the classification just by dragging files into the category panel where you want. So you won't need to add tags or drag into a tiny space, you can just drag clips from the top to the bottom or the bottom to the top. You can freely specify the categories which display in the library panels located at the top and bottom, so it is possible to display the same category with different sorting in both library panels. This application does not move or copy the actual files, which allows you to classify your own files very rapidly.




Always keep the latest library - Managed Folder Function

Besides registering files or folders manually, TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 allows you to register arbitrary folders as managed folders. Since newly added files into the managed folders are registered automatically to the library upon library update, you can keep the library at its latest state.



Supports the latest and a wide variety of Input Formats.

TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 natively supports a wide variety of time-tested and recent formats from MPEG-1/2, H.264/AVC, AVI, WMV, MOV to WebM and Ogg, etc. You practically don't even need to install external CODECs; you can handle or playback without needing any knowledge of these formats. Furthermore, you can select a specific import title clip within a TS or MXF file, and by using the thumbnail preview, you can verify the content beforehand and avoid any mistakes.

"2" supports the following new formats and functions.
H.265/HEVC Input Support.
Now supports importing the "H.265/HEVC" format which is the successor to H.264/AVC and is the latest video compression standard. You can directly import and playback the format which the adoption will be expanding in the future.




MXF Container Support.
Now supports importing MXF containers, which are mainly used in the professional market. TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 can also analyze and let you choose a multi-structured video file. Thus, you can import video and audio streams incorporated with an MXF container without any difficulties.




10-bit 4:4:4 H.264/AVC Input Support.
TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 is capable of importing the H.264/AVC High Intra 4:4:4 profile. You can playback the high profile H.264/AVC files natively in the internal player.




XAVC S Input Support.
Supports importing and directly editing using the high quality video 4K/HD video format "XAVC S" which is advocated by Sony. You can directly import and watch a XAVC S camera recording high quality movie.





WebM(VP8/9)/ Ogg Input Support.
Supports WebM and Ogg (Video: Theora Audio: Vorbis) input. Both are open source video formats and focus on high quality video with low file sizes, and are mainly used for playing on Android devices (WebM) and Web browsers. TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 further supports importing VP9 WebM file.



Simple Audio File Input Support
This version is capable of importing and playing a simple audio file such as a FLAC, MP3 or AAC file. Of course, an embedded picture in the audio file is also displayed in the player if it exists.



Title/Multi Stream Analyzer
A MPEG-2 TS, MXF file or PGMX file sometimes contains a multi-structured video file (containing several video and audio streams) or video where there are resolution changes mid-flow. TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 allows you to analyze such files anytime and choose an arbitrary title displayed by the analyzer.


* Encrypted or copy-protected files cannot be imported.

Native Support for 64-bit Architecture.

This version is designed only for 64-bit architecture environments. Along with this enhancement, the application is capable of using an outstandingly large memory size. Therefore, operations become much easier and smoother when handling a lot of clips.
*This application does not support 32-bit OS environments.

The main interface for achieving comfortable management operations

Realizing Simple and Stress-free Operations


TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 has been improved for realizing more comfortable management operations based on the feedback from the previous version. This new software maintains the concept of reducing complex interface structures or functions as much as possible, while allowing for detailed attention which lets you handle and view clips in the library without stress.




Achieve Free Display – Library View
Each of the library panels in TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 allows you to set the view type, thumbnail view or list view, including the thumbnail size or the sorting type, independently of each other. Since it can be operated by a mouse but also by a keyboard, you can switch quickly to the display which you want to adapt with the situation.



Displays a digest of the content via mouseover
Story Thumbnail Function
Just by hovering the mouse cursor on the thumbnail displayed in the library view, you can see a summary of the content immediately. In addition to the existing Flip Display, in this version the Movie Display mode has been added which is able to playback the digest movie of the content. It is also possible to playback the audio of the digest movie.

Capable of distinctions of the viewed or unviewed contents
Since the blue-colored indicator is displayed on clips that are already viewed or in the middle of viewing, it is not necessary to memorize the clip or position which you have already viewed. The last viewed position of the clip which is in the middle of viewing will be restored when you play it, of course.

* This function cannot be used when the resume option is not enabled.



Quick Preview
The library view implements the "Quick Preview" function, which allows you to verify the video and audio overview of a selected clip without launching the player window. It is capable of relocating the thumbnail position to where you want, and allows you to confirm the aspect ratio and the audio channel mode.




Features the Commercial Candidates Detector.
TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2 features the "Commercial Candidates Detection" function which analyzes several elements in a clip such as audio and scene change positions, and then detects the most likely candidate positions of commercials. The detected candidate positions are registered as chapters and can be used in the player to skip or search scenes quickly.



Pegasys Product's keyframes can be used as chapters
By using the same file name of a keyframe file (.keyframe) which is exported from the Pegasys product with that of the source file in the same folder, the keyframes will be reflected automatically as chapters when reading the source file as a clip.

In the environment where a supported product is already installed, you can directly open the clip with the editing window of the TMPGEnc product through the right-click menu of the clip in the library window. You can edit the clip immediately without wasting your time because it is not necessary to launch the main application and then import the clip.

* Same operation as the "Open with" option of Windows Explorer.



Supports Flexible Play Order by Playlist
In the "Playlist" category, you can set and arrange the order of several different or identical clips without concerning the sort order. Great for videos that are meant to be played in sequence or for creating your own video marathon.



Instant marking for reminders
– Color Labels
