    One of the big questions! Really two:

    * Is film grain synthesis finally usable? For one, I could not figure it out.
    * Can we at least turn off denoising? I think this may be very important to the success of AVIF, since blurry images is one of the critiques of AVIF.

    I saw a healthy discussion in the reddit thread about this phoronix article, where BlueSwordM basically implemented that second escape hatch, someone claims to have the synthesis working, and wait, wswartzendruber started that discussion. Good to see!​​

    Congratulations, and thank you! Am I right that this could be of use for AVIF?

    ↑ Duh, quality is not synonymous with bitrate. It's not too surprising that AV1 is efficient on anime when you know some of its unique features: The CDEF filter is made to preserve diagonal lines across flat areas (where other codecs produce lots of mosquito noise), and chroma from luma lets you code an edge only once instead of thrice.

    Also, we are starting to see AV1 taking off in video conferencing, where bitrate definitely matters. As will real-time encoding speed, which I haven't seen too much handfast evidence of, but would love to see – is it fast enough yet (on laptops) if you crank the speed up to 7-9, max out the tiles & threads for the cores you have, and bring down the frame rate (and maybe resolution)?

    I understand but most of the time I wouldn't want to compromise for such ridiculous limits. Sounds like a file sharing site, I especially
    would not want to for that.

    Always excited to see new development in the AV1 world

    And now that we're on v3.0, can we do film grain yet? Or is that still broken?
