What's new

Export H.265 (HEVC) and AV1. Two new entries in the format dropdown —
MP4 (H.265) and MP4 (AV1) — for much smaller files at the same quality:

  • H.265 uses your GPU (hevc_nvenc) when Fast encode is on, or libx265
    on the CPU. Tagged hvc1 so the MP4s play in QuickTime, Windows, and on Apple
    devices.
  • AV1 uses av1_nvenc on RTX 40-series GPUs (detected automatically), or the
    libsvtav1 CPU encoder everywhere else — an AV1 export never fails for lack of
    hardware.

Tidier Export tab. It now shows only the controls that apply to the chosen
format — fast-trim and target-size appear for H.264, the GPU toggle drops off for
WebM/GIF, and GIF swaps the quality slider for an fps spinner.
