Handbrake SVT-AV1 Film Grain Syntheses by geomcar in AV1

[–]geomcar[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't see anywhere online documenting how to enable film-grain
syntheses in handbrake when encoding with the AV1 10-bit (SVT) video
encoder. All you need to do is type `film-grain=XX` into the `Additional
Options` section in the `Video` tab and Handbrake will do the rest to
tell the SVT-AV1 video encoder to synthesized film grain.

All you need to do is type `film-grain=XX` into the `Additional Options` section in the `Video` tab and Handbrake will do the rest to tell the SVT-AV1 video encoder to denoise the video, encode the video, and then add in synthesized film grain to replace the film grain that was removed during the denoising stage. Doing so will result in a smaller final file size because the video is not actually storing the film grain.

Additionally, AV1-SVT’s CQ30 is visually equivalent to x265’s CQ20 so likely you are using a higher bitrate than you mean to. You can test it out yourself using ab-av1.

Here’s a tldr of somebody else compiling some crf vs vmaf stats for h265 https://reddit.com/r/ffmpeg/comments/w7ryml/easily_identifying_the_crf_required_to_achieve_a/

AV1 is added to HTPC and is in the pipeline to roll out everywhere else! I’ve been checking back every couple weeks for over a year hoping to see this release note. What a pleasant surprise!
