To use FGSEditor effectively, ensure you have the following components set up on your system and familiarize yourself with the interface shortcuts to speed up your workflow.

Prerequisites & Dependencies

Important

No External Binaries are Distributed
To respect licensing and keep the software clean, neither FFmpeg/FFprobe nor grav1synth are distributed with FGSEditor across any platform. You must provide these binaries yourself and ensure they are either placed in the same folder as the FGSEditor executable, or properly added to your system's PATH.

FFmpeg / FFprobe

  • Purpose: Used to probe video metadata (resolution, frame rate, color space, and exact duration) when importing videos.
  • Purpose: A dedicated CLI tool used internally by the software for injecting, extracting, and applying FGS data to AV1 bitstreams.
