# RedFFmpegatron 🚀



A Python GUI for **FFmpeg** with **AMD AMF hardware encoding** (HEVC / H.264 / AV1).  

It provides a simple dark-themed interface with drag-and-drop support, presets, trimming, previews, and advanced encoder/audio/FPS options – no need to manually write FFmpeg commands.



---



## Features



- **Drag and drop** video files into the window

- **Codec support:** HEVC (H.265), H.264, AV1 via AMF

- **Bitrate mode** or **Constant QP mode**

- **Audio settings:** disable, copy, AAC (96k / 160k / 256k) or custom

- **Advanced encoder options:**

  - Usage (transcoding, lowlatency, ultralowlatency, high_quality, etc.)

  - Quality presets (speed, balanced, quality)

  - Profiles (main, main10)

  - Levels and tiers

  - Rate-control (cbr, vbr, hqvbr, qvbr, etc.)

  - AMF-specific toggles: Preanalysis, VBAQ, Enforce HRD

- **FPS and scaling settings**

  - Change FPS (source, 60, 50, 30, 23.976, custom)

  - Resize to HD/FHD/QHD/4K/Custom width

  - Interpolation algorithms (bilinear, bicubic, lanczos, spline, etc.)

- **VideoSR (super-resolution)**

  - Algorithms, sharpness, ratio controls, pixel format selection

- **Additional options**

  - Trimming with start/end time

  - Streamcopy mode

  - Add custom FFmpeg options

  - Video filters (crop, eq, unsharp, saturation, HDR→SDR, etc.)

  - Audio filters (atempo, loudnorm, etc.)

- **Batch Conversion:** Process multiple video files in one go with the same settings - perfect for converting entire folders of videos.

- **Screen Recording:** Record your screen directly with AMF encoding and capture Windows system audio - choose frame rate, codec, audio codec, and quality settings.

- **Presets system** for quick configuration

- **10-second preview** encoding with current settings

- **Estimated output size** (bitrate mode only)

- **Built-in player buttons:** Play Input, Play Preview, Play Output

- **Command preview** – shows full FFmpeg command, editable, copyable

## Getting Started



### Prerequisites



To use the RedFFmpegatron, you will need:



* **Windows Operating System:** The application is built for Windows 10/11.

* **FFmpeg:** You need to have FFmpeg installed on your system and its executable (`ffmpeg.exe`) accessible in your system's PATH, or specify its path within the application.

FFmpeg Windows builds links: [Windows builds from gyan.dev](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/) or [Windows builds by BtbN](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases)

* **AMD GPU with AMF Support:** For hardware-accelerated encoding, an AMD graphics card with AMF capabilities is required. Ensure you have the latest AMD GPU drivers installed.



### Installation



#### 1. Download the Executable (Recommended) 🚀



The easiest way to get started is to download the latest release executable (`.exe`) from the [Releases](https://gitlab.com/hadoukez/redffmpegatron/-/releases) page.



1.  Go to the [Releases](https://gitlab.com/hadoukez/redffmpegatron/-/releases) section of this GitLab repository.

2.  Download the `RedFFmpegatron.exe` file.

3.  Run the executable.



#### 2. Run from Source (For Developers) 🔧



If you want to run the application from its Python source code:



1.  **Clone the repository:**

    ```

    git clone https://gitlab.com/hadoukez/RedFFmpegatron.git

    cd RedFFmpegatron

    ```

2.  **Install dependencies:**

    The project uses `customtkinter`, `pillow`, `CTkToolTip`, `pyaudiowpatch`.

    ```bash

    pip install customtkinter pillow CTkToolTip pyaudiowpatch

    ```

3.  **Run the application:**

    ```

    python "RedFFmpegatron.py"

    ```



### Building Executable (For Developers) 🔧



You can compile the Python script into a standalone Windows executable (`.exe`) using **Nuitka**.



1.  **Install Nuitka:**

    ```

    pip install nuitka

    ```

2.  **Build the executable:**

    Navigate to the project's root directory in your terminal and run the following command. This command configures Nuitka to create a standalone, single-file executable with disabled console mode, include necessary packages, set application metadata, and specify an icon.



    ```

      python -m nuitka --msvc=latest --lto=yes ^

      --standalone --windows-console-mode=disable ^

      --include-package=customtkinter --enable-plugin=tk-inter ^

      --windows-icon-from-ico="rff.ico" ^

      --include-data-file=rff.ico=./ ^

      --include-data-file=rff-help.txt=./rff-help.txt ^

      --include-data-file=rff-about.txt=./rff-about.txt ^

      --include-data-file=rff-license.txt=./rff-license.txt ^

      --include-data-file=nff-license.txt=./LICENSE.txt ^

      --include-data-dir=presets=./presets ^

      --product-name="RedFFmpegatron" ^

      --product-version="1.3.2" ^

      --file-version="1.3.2" ^

      --file-description="RedFFmpegatron" ^

      --company-name="Deepseek Enjoyer" ^

      --copyright="Copyright (C) 2026 hadouken" ^

      --output-dir=build "RedFFmpegatron.py"

    ```

    The compiled executable will be found in the `build` directory specified by `--output-dir`.

## Usage 🎥



1.  **Launch the application:** Run the `.exe` file or `RedFFmpegatron.py`.

2.  **Select Input File:** Click the "Browse Input" button or drag and drop your video file into the designated area.

3.  **Specify Output File:** Click "Browse Output" to choose where to save your processed video and what to name it.

4.  **Configure Options:**

    * **Trim Video:** Enter the `Start Time` and `End Time` in `HH:MM:SS` format to trim your video.

    * **Encoder:** Select your desired video encoder (e.g., `hevc_amf`, `h264_amf`, `av1_amf`).

    * **Additional FFmpeg Options:** Add any extra FFmpeg commands you need (e.g., `e.g. -qp_i 22 -qp_p 26; -forced-idr 1`).

5.  **Start Processing:** Click the "Convert" button to begin the video encoding.

6.  **Monitor Progress:** The console output within the application will show the FFmpeg progress.
