This preset also requires control over the max_b_frames setting. One of the new presets is recommended for reviewing videos, as it allows players to scrub through it easily. Presets were adjusted for these changes, and new presets added.

Added optional maximum of non-B-frames between B-frames (max_b_frames).Added FFmpeg speed presets, ranging from 'Very slow' (but best compression) to 'Ultra fast' (but bigger file).This generally produces the best quality videos in a single pass, at the expense of not knowing the exact bit-rate and file size. Added Constant Rate Factor (CRF) mode, which allows changing the bit-rate depending on the desired quality and the input.As a result, codecs were removed from the container list. The 'format' label is no longer used, as this is too ambiguous (both container and codec could be called 'format'). Clearer separation between container and codec.Any MacOS system 10.12 or later should be supported along with whatever graphics hardware is supported on machines that support the OS.Įdit: per the official system requirements, I think your graphics card is not technically supported being older than GCN 1st Gen, but at the same time I was under the impression that on MacOS it was the OS that mattered mode than the hardware.Video encoding settings have been simplified, along with the addition of a Constant Rate Factor (CRF) mode. If you have specific issues then by all means put in bug reports (Help->Report a Bug). Of course Apple is dropping support for OpenGL too and Blender will require a major re-write to deal with that, so the future is not certain in the long term. You can of course continue to use CPU rendering or CUDA if you have Nvidia hardware and a MacOS version that supports it.Įevee should be fully supported both interactively and as a final renderer on your AMD hardware.

Apple is dropping support for OpenCL and has not been able to address issues that it has with Blender so the Blender developers were forced to drop support for it, which means no use of AMD cards under MacOS for GPU accelerated Cycles.
