This adds several new options to the SVT-AV1 standalone encoder (--enable-variance-boost, --variance-boost-strength). I notice that, by default, variance boost appears to be turned off.
For testing, it’s probably easier to run the standalone SvtAv1EncApp with aforementioned parameters and pipe ffmpeg’s rawvideo output to it. Either way, I assume this functionality will eventually become an option for ffmpeg’s -svtav1-params, now that it’s in the SVT-AV1 main tree.
Disclaimer: this is just what I concluded from a quick check of the patch and ffmpeg code.
I know everyone is really excited about this. If I’m using ffmpeg, how do I use it (once ffmpeg merges this update)?
Compile FFmpeg with the SVT-AV1-PSY fork
That’s it? I don’t need any arguments or options when I do the transcode?
