Download the latest release from the [Releases](https://github.com/oliverdougherC/BetterVMAF/releases) page\n2. Open the downloaded `Better_VMAF.dmg` file\n3. Drag the \"Better VMAF\" app to your Applications folder\n4. The first time you run the app, you'll need to:\n   - Open the app\n   - Select \"Done\" on the security pop-up\n   - Navigate to System Settings \u003e Security and Privacy\n   - Scroll down to the \"Security\" section\n   - Press \"Open Anyway\" next to the Better VMAF warning\n   - Provide your fingerprint or administrator password\n\nThis is necessary because the app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID. You only need to do this once.\n\n## Development Setup\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/oliverdougherC/BetterVMAF\n   cd BetterVMAF\n   ```\n\n2. Open the project in Xcode:\n   ```bash\n   open VMAF.xcodeproj\n   ```\n\n3. Build and run the project in Xcode\n\n## Building for Distribution\n\nTo create a DMG for distribution:\n\n1. Open Terminal and navigate to the project directory\n2. Run the build script:\n   ```bash\n   ./create_dmg.sh\n   ```\n3. The script will create `Better-VMAF.dmg` in the project directory\n\n## How It Works\n\nBetter VMAF uses a self-contained FFmpeg binary with the libvmaf library to calculate video quality metrics. The app provides a simple interface for:\n1. Selecting a reference video (original/high quality)\n2. Selecting a comparison video (to be evaluated)\n3. Calculating and displaying VMAF scores\n\nThe VMAF score ranges from 0 to 100, where:\n- 100 represents perfect quality\n- Scores above 93 indicate excellent quality\n- Scores below 60 indicate significant quality issues\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\n- [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for video processing\n- [libvmaf](https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf) for VMAF calculation\n- Apple's SwiftUI framework for the user interface ","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foliverdougherc%2Fbettervmaf","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Foliverdougherc%2Fbettervmaf","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foliverdougherc%2Fbettervmaf/lists"}
