Interview with Vint Creator: William Sokol Erhard Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

Here’s an audio-only interview with Vint creator and Blur Busters contributor William Sokol Erhard, where we deep dive his awesome video software. The focus of the conversation is 24p video, BFI and interpolation (NOT the soap opera effect kind :p), however much of our discussion crosses over with gaming. And we even cover NVIDIA’s new Pulsar technology a bit as well! Basically, if you’re a video nerd, this is a must listen!

William just put Vint on sale, so if you’re curious to try it, now’s the time: https://willse.itch.io/vint
