FFmpeg AV1 Vulkan Encoder Patch Posted

Written by Michael Larabel in Multimedia on 19 April 2025 at 11:33 AM EDT. 32 Comments
While the FFmpeg multimedia library merged Vulkan Video encode support last year, it was initially limited to H.264 and H.265 formats. With a new patch posted for review this week, AV1 encode support using the Vulkan Video API is now underway.

FFmpeg developer Lynne who has been responsible for most of the Vulkan Video work to this open-source multimedia project was the one to also come up with this AV1 Vulkan encoder support.

Thos patch posted to the FFmpeg development list this week adds the Vulakn AV1 encoder support to libavcodec using the Vulkan Video native acceleration API with the VK_KHR_video_encode_av1 extension.

Hopefully this 1.5k lines of new code will soon be merged to FFmpeg Git.
