Features

  • Added support for the AMD AV1 Encoder for the RX7000 series GPUs on Windows
  • Added support for the Intel AV1 Encoder for Arc GPUs on Windows
    • Note: CQP is available but not fully supported
  • Added support for the Intel HEVC Encoder on Windows
  • Added an upward compressor filter
