Thank you for the answer.
Could you recommend a codec that would be similar enough to setting CRF on x264/x265 (and if it's faster - even better)? Sorry to bother with what might be a trivial question, but I've been out of the video encoding "game" for quite some time already and don't know what new has happened lately.
Are x264 and x265 in this list?
I haven't encoded in a long while (like a year) and just downloaded the Pro version to try, but I haven't been able to find a way to use x264 (I'm a big fan of CRF as a perfect way to ensure desired quality at lowest bitrate consumed), and haven't found any instructions to help (the whole scene creator thing is new and unusual).
Actually, forget it. I just discovered that HEVC is not supported in any free browser, so I will not use it anymore. I guess I'll continue with AVC (H.264) until AV1 matures.
Any update on this? I encoded a file with x265 and all the Apple users I gave it to cannot open it. I used to encode them with HandBrake, which had the same problem once; I thought Apple fixed it, since the HandBrake files work fine on Apple devices now, but apparently HandBrake changed their tag to conform to Apple's (unnecessary) restrictions.
Can we have this at least as an option? (I know, it means rendering to Apple's oppression, but what can we do now?..)
