# FastFlix

![preview](./docs/gui_preview.png)

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) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_x265.png" height="30" alt="x265" >
* AVC (libx264) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_x264.png" height="30" alt="x264" >
* AV1 (librav1e) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_rav1e.png" height="30" alt="rav1e" >
* AV1 (libaom-av1) &nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_av1_aom.png" height="30" alt="av1_aom" >
* AV1 (libsvtav1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_svt_av1.png" height="30" alt="svt_av1" >
* VP9 (libvpx) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_vp9.png" height="30" alt="vpg" >
* GIF (gif) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="./fastflix/data/encoders/icon_gif.png" height="30" alt="gif" >

Most builds do not have all these encoders available by default and may require custom compiling FFmpeg for a specific encoder.
