Enjoying the benefits of StreamFX? Then support it on Github Sponsors or Patreon!

The StreamFX project is only possible through your support, either as a translator or as a Supporter on either Patreon or Github. Your support helps keep StreamFX free from Ads, even if it's just translating a few lines per month, or 1$ per month. If continuous support isn't your thing, maybe a one-time donation via PayPal is?

Notable Changes and Updates:

Official support for MacOS 10.15 and newer!

Thanks to Elgato sponsoring a MacOS device and cpyarger, the StreamFX project now supports MacOS for the majority of features! Just as with Windows, both the automated and manual Installation methods are available, and the Installation Guide already has been updated with steps for MacOS.

Color Grading is now much faster!

A lot of work has gone into making Color Grading faster in order to allow more users to use the filter while live streaming or recording. It now has two ways to render the effect, with the first one being "Direct Rendering", and the latter being "#-Bit Look-Up Table" - the new default. The former method is now up to 25% faster than before, while the latter uses up to 75% less GPU time and up to 25% less GPU memory.

You can personally choose to further reduce the GPU impact while sacrificing accuracy by opting for a smaller Look-Up Table. The default accuracy is 8 bits per channel, but you can freely select 6, 4, or even 2 bits per channel. Optionally if you do not like faster rendering, you can also opt for the old "Direct Rendering" method again.

The FFmpeg AMD Encoder integration is ready for use!

After several months of testing, the AMD Encoder is now finally ready to be used by everyone! This brings the much coveted zero-copy encoding over to the AMD side. Whether it's high framerate gaming, or GPU heavy applications, AMD users can now enjoy similar performance improvements that NVIDIA users have been enjoying.

sRGB and Rec. 601 color tagging has been fixed.

Due to both standards having multiple definitions, none of which actually perfectly fit anything, footage recorded using these profiles may be played back or converted incorrectly by other tools. This should now no longer be the case, as sRGB has been adjusted to the fixed 2.2 Gamma (due to a lack of an actual sRGB curve in FFmpeg 4.2.x), and Rec. 601 now mimics what PAL regions would experience. This should make recordings of sRGB content look and feel correct, even if we aren't perfect yet.

Minor Changes:

• Updated translations from Crowdin. Thanks to all translators!
• Dropped Ubuntu 18.04 support due to the system libraries being very outdated for current times.
• Fixed a bug causing OBS Studio to freeze on Startup when a new version was found.
• Fixed Source Mirror being unable to mirror delayed Sources due to their size being 0x0 at first.
• Fixed some Sources/Filters/Transitions incorrectly advertising direct rendering support.
• Added a pixelation shader filter example submitted by kilinbox, which allows selective pixelation based on user parameters.
• Added direct rendering support to some Sources/Filters/Transitions, which reduces the rendering overhead slightly.

Please make sure to read the Installation Guide!

The installation guide covers the required hardware and software to run the plugin, and how to install it through the various options. Please make sure that you have read it in it's entirety before asking for help, as most issues can simply be solved by reading it and actually following all the steps, including installing the necessary prerequisites.
