Easy to use video encoder GUI
Project description
FastFlix
FastFlix is a simple and friendly GUI for encoding videos.
It needs FFmpeg (version 4.3 or greater) under the hood for the heavy lifting, and can work with a variety of encoders.
Encoders
FastFlix supports the following encoders when their required libraries are found in FFmpeg:
- HEVC (libx265)
- AVC (libx264)
- AV1 (librav1e)
- AV1 (libaom-av1)
- AV1 (libsvtav1)
- VP9 (libvpx)
- GIF (gif)
Most builds do not have all these encoders available by default and may require custom compiling FFmpeg for a specific encoder.
- Window FFmpeg (and more) auto builder
- Windows cross compile FFmpeg (build on linux)
- FFmpeg compilation guide
