Hi everyone,
Today, I have released rav1e GUI v1.17:
This new version will encode files without producing huge .y4m temporary files. It also disables 2-pass encoding in quantizer mode, which is not supported by rav1e. You can use 2-pass encoding in bitrate mode.

Enjoy!
Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,
Today, I have released rav1e GUI v1.15:
This release removes the Unspecified option in the Range Advanced Option and now defaults to Limited. This makes the GUI compatible with the latest rav1e versions.

Enjoy!
Hi everyone,
Today, I have released rav1e GUI v1.14:
This release makes it possible to encode video files with no audio. It also will predefine the output path using the input path, and change the output extension to .webm. What’s more, is that if you manually type the input path, the output path will be dynamically adjusted too!

Enjoy!
Hi everyone,
I have released rav1e GUI v1.13 today:

Hi everyone,
Today, I have released rav1e GUI v1.11:
This new version adds support for tiles. It allows you to encode a video using rav1e’s multithreading. When Tiles are enabled, rav1e GUI will not split the video files into segments. Rather, it will use a single rav1e instance but it will utilize the amount of threads specified, which is passed as an argument to rav1e.
The Advanced Options window was updated to include the tiles row and column options:
This version also fixed a bug with the Low Latency option, and it is adjusted for how the option now works with the newer versions of rav1e. Also, the Speed setting was adjusted from speed level 3 to 5, which is now the default speed level in rav1e.
Lastly, Opusenc is no longer needed and the audio will now be encoded using ffmpeg, by using the libopus library. This reduces a step and saves a couple of megabytes of space.

Enjoy!
Hi everyone,
Yesterday night, I released rav1e GUI v1.10:
This version is a bug fix release to fix a bug that happened when the 2-pass option was activated. This new version also updates rav1e to yesterday’s version.
You can download this new version below:
Enjoy!
Hi everyone,
I’m very happy to inform that the latest rav1e source code fixed the issue where the encoding would get stuck. Because of this, I was able to successfully test my Graphical User Interface for rav1e and the encodes were successful.
I have released this new version now. You can download it at the project’s repository release page here: https://github.com/moisesmcardona/rav1e_gui/releases/tag/v1.9
The changelog for this version is as follows:
Enjoy!
Hi everyone,
Today, I spent the afternoon programming my rav1e GUI software. It’s been about a month since I last released a rav1e GUI update, and rav1e itself has improved by then.
While I still haven’t released a new GUI version, I did some programming to it to add some of the new rav1e features. Unfortunately, the tests were not successful and I believe this has to do to some
Now, let’s talk about the new GUI features:
First, I placed the temporary folder location below the Output video path. I did this to have the text boxes easily accessible and to allow the path to be easily set.
Second, you can see that I moved the quantizer setting and also added a bitrate setting along with 2 radio buttons that allow you to switch between quality control modes. When the Quantizer radio button is checked, the Bitrate text box will get greyed and you can only specify the quantizer value. When the Bitrate radio button is checked, the quantizer value is greyed out and the bitrate textbox is enabled, allowing you to specify the video bitrate in kilobits/second (kb/s or kbps).
Third, I added a 2-Pass option which at the moment does nothing. rav1e added this option but as far as I know, it’s not yet actually implemented. Testing the encoder using its limit function didn’t showed extended encoding times.
Finally, I renamed the “Advanced Encoder Options” button to just “Advanced Options”. It was redundant as it was placed in the Encoder Options group box.
When we press the Advanced Options button, we get shown some more parameters:
There, I added 2 new arguments that rav1e now accepts:
Also, due to some default arguments that rav1e changed, I also did some default option changes in the GUI.
And with that, I conclude this post. The above changed will be released soon, when rav1e starts working again and I can fully test them. I’ll let you all know when I release it. In the meantime, you can go to the rav1e GUI repo and try running the latest source code.
See ya soon!
