Advanced Video Encoder

A multi-codec video encoding workbench and filter pipeline builder for Linux enthusiasts and editors.
A lightweight Linux alternative to StaxRip for custom filter-chain video encoding and codec benchmarking.

Key features powered by bundled FFmpeg:
- Multi-codec video encoding across AV1 (libaom-av1), H.265/HEVC (libx265), H.264/AVC (libx264), and VP9 (libvpx-vp9)
with configurable CRF quality, speed tiers, and 8-bit (yuv420p) or 10-bit (yuv420p10le) pixel formats.
- Modular video filter chain builder combining Lanczos scaling, aspect-ratio cropping, spatial/temporal denoising
(hqdn3d), luma unsharp-mask sharpening (unsharp), and frame-rate conversion.
- Live FFmpeg command-line preview updating immediately as codecs and filters are adjusted.
- Side-by-side Source vs Filtered/Encoded frame inspector with reconstructed RGB PSNR (dB) measurement.
- Built-in Multi-Codec Benchmark measuring real CPU encode FPS, output bitrate, and PSNR across H.264, HEVC, VP9, and AV1.
