Where's automatic film grain handling?

This isn't application software. It is a base video encoder

[wswartzendruber]

Oh come now. Noise modeling is a core part of the codec. Surely it should be in there.

Which other encoders support it?

libaom does, but utilizing it is rather complicated.

1. Denoise your input with the filter of your choice.
2. Send that into libaom's noise-modeler utility.
3. Input the denoised input combined with the output of noise-modeler into aomenc.

I've seen references to film grain handling in the new SVT-AV1 documentation that just hit, but didn't see how to activate it.
