Properties

PropertyTypeDescription
bf?numberMaximum number of B-frames allowed in the video stream. B-frames improve compression efficiency but may add encoding latency. Default 3
bitrate?numberTarget encoding bitrate in kilobits per second (kbps). Default 8000
cpq?numberConstant Peak Quantizer (CPQ) value. Determines the quality level when using quantizer-based rate control modes. Default 20
ffmpeg_opts?stringPass custom options directly to the AMF encoder or FFmpeg. This allows advanced tuning or enabling experimental features. Example: "level=5.2 profile=main" Refer to AMD AMF documentation for supported flags.
keyint_sec?numberKeyframe interval, in seconds. Defines how frequently a keyframe (I-frame) is inserted into the video stream. - 0 — Automatically selected by the encoder. - Recommended values: 2 for high quality/editability, 4 for reduced file size. - 1 — Suitable for short replays or splitting, but more CPU/GPU intensive. Balances quality, file size, and streaming performance.
max_bitrate?numberMaximum bitrate in kilobits per second (kbps). Caps the bitrate for encoders using variable bitrate modes (e.g., VBR).
preset?kAMDEncoderPresetDefines the encoding preset to use. Presets control the trade-off between encoding speed and compression quality. See kAMDEncoderPreset
rate_control?kAMDEncoderRateControlSpecifies the rate control method used by the encoder. Options include: - 'CBR' — Constant Bitrate - 'CQP' — Constant Quantization Parameter - 'VBR' — Variable Bitrate - 'VBR_LAT' — Latency-aware VBR - 'QVBR' — Quality Variable Bitrate - 'HQVBR' — High Quality VBR - 'HQCBR' — High Quality Constant Bitrate Default 'CBR' See kAMDEncoderRateControl
typekSupportedEncodersTypesThe selected video encoder type. See kSupportedEncodersTypes
