Av1an
All-in-one tool for streamlining av1 encoding
Easy And Efficient
Start using AV1 encoding. All open-source encoders are supported (Aom, Rav1e, SVT-AV1).
Image to .ivf encoding supported (Aomenc, Rav1e)
Example with default parameters:
./av1an.py -i input
With your own parameters:
./av1an.py -i input -enc aom -e '--cpu-used=3 --end-usage=q --cq-level=30' -a '-c:a libopus -b:a 24k'
Usage
-i --file_path Input file (relative or absolute path)
-o --output_file Name/Path for output file (Default: (input file name)_av1.mkv)
-enc --encoder Encoder to use (aom or rav1e or svt_av1. Default: aom)
Example: -enc rav1e
-e --encoding_params Encoder settings flags (If not set, will be used default parameters.
Required for SVT-AV1s)
Can be set for both video and image mode
Must be inside ' ' or " "
-p --pass Set number of passes for encoding
(Default: Aomenc: 2, Rav1e: 1, SVT-AV1: 2)
At current moment 2nd pass Rav1e not working
-a --audio_params FFmpeg audio settings flags (Default: copy audio from source to output)
Example: -a '-c:a libopus -b:a 64k'
-t --workers Maximum number of workers (overrides automatically set number of workers.
Aomenc recommended value is YOUR_THREADS - 2 (Single thread per worker)
Rav1e and SVT-AV1 uses multiple threads,
Example: '--tile-rows 2 --tile-cols 2' load 2.5 - 3.5 threads
4 rav1e workers is optimal for 6/12 cpu
-s --scenes Path to file with scenes timestamps.
If given `0` spliting will be ignored
If file not exist, new will be generated in current folder
First run to generate stamps, all next reuse it.
Example: `-s scenes.csv`
-tr --threshold PySceneDetect threshold for scene detection
-ff --ffmpeg_com FFmpeg options. Example:
--ff ' -r 24 -vf scale=320:240 '
-fmt --pix_format Setting custom pixel/bit format(Default: 'yuv420p')
Example for 10 bit: 'yuv420p10le'
--resume If encode was stopped/quit resumes encode with saving all progress
Resuming automatically skips scenedetection, audio encoding/copy,
spliting, so resuming only possible after actuall encoding is started.
/.temp folder must be presented for resume.
--no_check Skip checking numbers of frames for source and encoded chunks
Needed if framerate changes.
By default any differences in frames of encoded files will be reported
-m --mode 0 - Video encoding (Default), 1 - Image encoding
By default used 10 bit encoding.
Constant quality mode for Aomenc
Encoding options should be adjusted accordingly
-log --logging Path to .log file(Default: no logging)
Main Features
**Spliting video by scenes for parallel encoding** because AV1 encoders currently not good at multithreading, encoding is limited to single or couple of threads at the same time.
* [PySceneDetect](https://pyscenedetect.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) used for spliting video by scenes and running multiple encoders.
* Both Video and Image encoding* (Single frame to .ivf, can be viewed by videoplayer)
* Resuming encoding without loss of encoded progress
* Simple and clean console look
* Automatic determination of how many workers the host can handle
* Building encoding queue with bigger files first, minimizing waiting for last scene to encode
* Both video and audio encoding option with FFmpeg
* Logging of progress of all encoders
And many more to go..
