Back in May the FFmpeg project introduced Vulkan-accelerated decoding for the APV video format. The Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec was being handled using Vulkan shaders in a similar way to how FFmpeg implemented Vulkan acceleration for Apple ProRes. Now there is Vulkan-accelerated APV encoding too...
The continuous evolution of video processing technologies and the increasing demand for efficient hardware acceleration drive ongoing development in projects like FFmpeg.
This enhancement signifies improved efficiency and accessibility for video encoding, particularly for the APV format, leveraging modern GPU capabilities.
FFmpeg now offers Vulkan-accelerated encoding for APV, completing the hardware acceleration support for this video format within the project.
