    I’d be interested in more partial acceleration/offloading support.

    As an example, the denoising AV1 does for grain synthesis is hard, but GPUs are really good at it. It would be awesome if they could offload that step to vulkan as an option.

    Another would be better supported variable frame rate. But that’s a tall ask I guess.
