FFmpeg Introduces Vulkan Accelerated Decoding For APV Video
FFmpeg has introduced Vulkan accelerated decoding for Samsung's Advanced Professional Video Codec (APV). This new feature allows for enhanced performance in visually lossless video coding, similar to Apple ProRes. Additionally, FFmpeg has also added support for animated WebP decoding in a recent update.
- ▪FFmpeg now supports Vulkan-based acceleration for APV video decoding.
- ▪The new feature was implemented using shaders, enhancing performance for visually lossless video coding.
- ▪Another recent addition to FFmpeg includes support for animated WebP decoding.

FFmpeg Introduces Vulkan Accelerated Decoding For APV Video Written by Michael Larabel in Multimedia on 20 May 2026 at 06:25 AM EDT. Add A Comment FFmpeg already supports CPU-based decoding for Samsung's APV as the Advanced Professional Video Codec. FFmpeg also has APV encode support too while now an interesting addition was merged this week: Vulkan-based acceleration for APV. For those making use of Samsung's APV for visually lossless video coding as an alternative to Apple ProRes, FFmpeg developer Lynne has managed to implement APV Vulkan-accelerated support using shaders in a similar manner to some of the other codecs without formal Vulkan Video extensions that FFmpeg has been working on accelerated operations around.
