Support AV1 Video Encoding and Decoding

As stated over and over: this is a codec used by a relatively small subset of the several million daily users.

Apparently by their data, other things that would be used by a larger percentage of the user base, are getting higher priority.

I'm on the short list myself for a number of things that would really help me in my work. The devs are very sympathetic, but still have to say my wishes would not be used by enough users to get moved up the priority list.

That's Life. Understand, as much as anyone would wish otherwise, this codec will rise up the priority list when their data puts it higher than the half billion others on the priority list.

That actually pretty simple

Currently there is no AV1 support. As users we don't know if/when it will be added.

I looked, as far as I understand it hasn't been added? Is there a technical reason for this, or would Adobe not be so stubborn? Actually, if there is a technical reason, I think they should explain it to their users.

Baktım, anladığım kadarıyla eklenmemiş? Bunun teknik bir nedeni var mı, yoksa Adobe bu kadar inatçı olmaz mıydı? Aslında teknik bir sebep varsa bunu kullanıcılarına açıklamaları gerektiğini düşünüyorum.

This thread has 6 pages, take a look, even just the recent comments.

Friends, is av1 support available in premiere pro 2025? Or do I have to switch to another application?

And understand, none of us are at all against adding any codec.

I do think you may feel it's more important to more users than it is. That is all.

Cheers man.

This thread has gained 85 upvotes in about a year, (it's not overwhelming). Let's hope it keeps going up, and then Adobe may be interested in adding it.

@MyerPj Why would anyone use non-specialized hardware to encode/decode these days? Oh, yes, everyone does that because Adobe forces us. Why not use a GPU? Specialized hardware is equivalent to a GPU that costs less than $200. Seriously, are you reading what you're writing?

Again, should we stop rendering in 4K because 2010 PCs and TVs can't handle it? Is that your logic?

Even hardware made for data centers has supported AV1 for years now. Just look at the latest chips by AMD, Nvidia, and Intel. It's been YEARS, not months. Even the latest CPUs from Intel have AV1 encoder.

Gotcha, so you need 'specialized hardware' for it to work reasonably.

Since you know where the info is on Google, do like I did and find a short bit that would be interesting for the thread. Otherwise, you're just relying on... you.
