# Encoder Evaluation Suite (ease)
[](https://github.com/evolution-gaming/ease/actions/workflows/ci.yaml)
## About
Video encoder evaluation is no easy task, it requires substantial effort and combines a
lot of "stages". This tool should help lift some of the menial burden and make it a tad
little easier.
`ease` is a non-interactive command-line tool that can be used to automate encoding and
analysis "stages" of video encoder evaluation process.
Tool name is a "play on words", *EES* phonetically sounds very close to *ease* which
carries a meaning of:
> ease *verb*:
> to make or become less severe, difficult, unpleasant, painful
>
> ease *noun*:
> the state of experiencing no difficulty, effort, pain
## Dependencies
Tool depends on `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` version >= 5.0 built with `libvmaf` support. Both
`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` must be on `$PATH`.
If your GNU/Linux distribution does not provide recent `ffmpeg` package or does not
include `libvmaf` then there are static builds of `ffmpeg` available from
https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/.
## Install
**Note:** `ease` tool only runs on GNU/Linux and macOS platforms.
Easiest approach is to download binaries from project [releases](https://github.com/evolution-gaming/ease/releases) page and after unarchiving put `ease` binary on `$PATH`.
Or if you are comfortable with [Go](https://go.dev) tooling then:
go install github.com/evolution-gaming/ease@latest
