If you need to use a specific binary path or version, configure it in `config/ab-av1.php` or via environment variable: ``` # .env AB_AV1_BINARY=/usr/local/bin/ab-av1 # Or use a specific cargo installation AB_AV1_BINARY=/home/user/.cargo/bin/ab-av1 ``` Verify your installation: ``` php artisan ab-av1:info ``` Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) ``` use Foxws\AbAv1\Facades\AbAv1; $result = AbAv1::encode() ->withInput('/path/to/video.mp4') ->withPreset('medium') ->withMinVMAF(95) ->autoEncode(); echo "VMAF: {$result->getVMAFScore()}"; echo "CRF: {$result->getCRFUsed()}"; ``` Usage Examples -------------- [](#usage-examples) ### Auto-encode (Recommended) [](#auto-encode-recommended) Automatically find the best CRF for your target VMAF quality: ``` $result = AbAv1::encode() ->withInput('video.mp4') ->withPreset('medium') ->withMinVMAF(95) ->withOutput('output.mp4') ->autoEncode(); ``` ### Direct Encode [](#direct-encode) Encode with a specific CRF value: ``` $result = AbAv1::encode() ->withInput('video.mp4') ->withCRF(30) ->withPreset('slow') ->encode(); ``` ### Sample Encode [](#sample-encode) Quick test to preview quality: ``` $result = AbAv1::encode() ->withInput('video.mp4') ->withCRF(28) ->sampleEncode(); ``` ### Hardware Acceleration [](#hardware-acceleration) Enable VAAPI for faster encoding: ``` $result = AbAv1::encode() ->withInput('video.mp4') ->withPreset('medium') ->withMinVMAF(95) ->withFFmpegOptions([ 'hwaccel' => 'vaapi', 'hwaccel_output_format' => 'vaapi', ]) ->autoEncode(); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) See [examples/basic-usage.php](examples/basic-usage.php) for comprehensive usage examples.
