OBS Studio 29 Released With AV1 Encode Additions, Upward Compression Filter
![MULTIMEDIA](/assets/categories/multimedia.webp)
OBS Studio 29.0 adds support for AMD AV1 encoding with Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs as well as Intel AV1 encoding for Arc Graphics GPU systems. This Intel/AMD GPU-accelerated AV1 encode complements the existing NVIDIA GPU support. However, the AMD Radeon RX 7000 series and Intel Arc Graphics support for AV1 encode with OBS Studio is currently Windows-only with no Linux support yet. Hopefully the Linux AV1 GPU-accelerated encode for the Intel and AMD graphics will be supported in the next OBS Studio release.
OBS Studio 29.0 also now supports the Intel HEVC/H.265 GPU-accelerated encoder, but again is Windows-only with this release.
Some of the other OBS Studio 29.0 changes include adding an upward compression filter, a 3-band equalizer filter, support for native HEVC and ProRes encoders on macOS, media key support on Linux, and a wide range of other tweaks and bug fixes.
