Aviator

Custom, perceptually optimized fork of SVT-AV1 featuring a bleeding edge tune that outperforms the latest release in visual quality per bit.New audio filters, Volume &amp; Normalization, available through a slider &amp; a toggle respectively on the Audio page.Prettier SVT-AV1 parameter handling in the codebase.

New "Copy Audio" switch that allows passing the audio through without reencoding (disables WebM output).Improved resolution scaling with automatic width/height adjustment based on one resolution input value &amp; a less aggressive default scaling algorithm (Catmull-Rom).Removed "Match Source" buttons - resolution will match source if left empty, &amp; audio won't be reencoded at an identical bitrate (this is not smart to do).Removed Opus VBR switch.Denoise toggle for film grain denoise pass.Credited Trix for their help with rAV1ator that has transferred to Aviator. Thanks, Trix!
