Auto-Boost-Essential
Auto-Boost-Essential is the latest iteration of the Auto-Boost formula, streamlined and refined for greater convenience, speeds and boosting gains!
This encoding script is intended to be paired with my SVT-AV1-Essential encoder fork.
SVT-AV1-Essential sports excellent quality consistency, but Auto-Boost-Essential offers exceptional consistency!
Here is how it works: the script runs a first encoder fass-pass, finds scenes based on the introduced keyframes, calculate metrics scores, automatically adjusts the CRF of scenes in order to increase quality consistency and then runs a final-pass with these adjustements.
The quality metric at play this time again is SSIMULACRA2.
Auto-Boost-Essential can be considered a helper script, as all you need to do is provide an input video file and it will manage everything for you:
python Auto-Boost-Essential.py "my_video_file.mp4"
Results:
| Metrics | Speed |
|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Speed may vary depending on your hardware configuration and source resolution.
The above results are not even best-case scenarios. The selected samples are very complex. More gains are expected on your average clip, granted it contains more than one scene at a minimum!
The script is also capable of resuming unfinished encodes, and can also be run with boosting disabled!
