EncodeGUI v1.2.0 (macOS) - Early Access Release

Added 2023-05-22 06:36:09 +0000 UTC

It's here! EncodeGUI is now officially supported on macOS with Apple Silicon Macs. I've tested it profusely on my development Mac, however, I was not able to fully test it on another Mac for confirmed functionality. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO REPORT ISSUES TO ME AND I WILL HAVE THEM FIXED ASAP.

PLEASE READ:

After countless hours of fighting with the Apple notarization system for FrameGUI and EncodeGUI, I've given up for now. As a result, you will get the error "EncodeGUI_1.2.0_patron_setup_mac.pkg can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software" when you try to launch the .pkg file. I have a developer certificate from Apple for the software but there is no notarization on it which is why you get the error. I plan to fix this in future releases but there isn't anything I can do about it currently. Please follow the directions below regarding the workaround:

1. Open the EncodeGUI_1.2.0_patron_setup_mac.pkg file, and you will get the error mentioned above.

2. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.

3. Scroll down until you see: "EncodeGUI_1.2.0_patron_setup_mac.pkg was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer."

4. Click "Open Anyway" right below that message and enter your system password to confirm the changes.

5. The EncodeGUI installer will load and now you can use the software without restrictions.

I apologize for this inconvenience.

Since macOS doesn't support everything in EncodeGUI, some features have been omitted. Those being:

- No EncodeGUI AI

- No CUDA (hence no Nvidia GPUs on macs, obviously)

- No hardware encoding support for AVC or HEVC.

- No SVPFlow support

- No dual GPU processing support for resolution upscaling
