FrameGUI (v2.2.0)

System Requirements

A Heads-up for New Users:

Although EncodeGUI is easy to use, it’s not for everyone. If you are unfamiliar with most of the terms below, then EncodeGUI is most likely NOT for you:

• Video/Audio codec • CUDA • NCNN • Vulkan • AVC • HEVC • ProRes • Theora • VP9 • NVENC • QuickSync • AMF • Video container • Video resolution • Video profile • Video profile level • DeNoise • Frame interpolation • Artefacts • Muxing • Bitrate • CRF / Constant Rate Factor • Constant Quantizer • Rate control • Frame rate • Color depth • Color sampling • Color space • Color matrix • Color transfer • Color primaries • Color range

FrameGUI does not require knowledge relating to the terms above. However, you still must have basic computer skills, such as being able to copy files and compressing files into a .zip archive. This is necessary for when you need to report a problem to the developer. You must also be able to know and identify your computer hardware for determining compatibility (listed below) with AI filters.

Minimum PC Specifications (Windows):

In order to use all features in EncodeGUI or FrameGUI, your system must meet or exceed the minimum specifications listed below. AMD GPUs are supported but CUDA AI filters will not be supported. Consequently, AMD GPUs are generally not recommended for EncodeGUI. You can still use EncodeGUI or FrameGUI if your system doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, but AI filters will not be usable.

Any specs newer than what's listed above are assumed supported. ARM CPUs are not supported.
CPU	GPU	Storage Type	RAM	Screen Resolution	OS
x64, 2-cores	Nvidia GT 1030	SSD	8GB	1280x720	Windows 10

Note: If using an Nvidia GPU, it MUST be Pascal architecture or newer. Nvidia Maxwell GPUs or older are not supported with the AI filters. 1080p 60fps interpolation with CUDA requires at least 6GB of VRAM, where 4K 60fps requires 16GB of VRAM. Intel integrated GPUs aren't supported.

Recommended PC Specifications (Windows):

Nvidia RTX GPUs are recommended due to the presence of AI tensor cores.
CPU	GPU	Storage Type	RAM	Screen Resolution	OS
i7-12700K	RTX 3060	SSD	16GB	1920x1080	Windows 11

Note: Upscaling/Interpolating 8K videos with the AI filters will need at least 24GB of system RAM. 32GB system RAM is necessary for the dual gpu processing feature. For high frame rate interpolation or 4K 60fps interpolation with CUDA, 16GB of VRAM or more is required.

Apple Macintosh Minimum Specifications (macOS):

Any specs newer than what's listed above are assumed supported.
CPU/GPU	RAM	Screen Resolution	OS
Apple M1	8GB	1920x1080	Ventura 13.1

Note: EncodeGUI and FrameGUI for macOS are only supported on Apple Silicon Macs. We do not and will not provide support for Intel Macs or older versions of macOS.
