libvmafthrough FFmpeg - Video Quality Metrics -- command-line tool which encodes a video using specified x264/x265/AV1 CRF values (or x264/x265 presets) and creates a table showing the PSNR/SSIM/VMAF of each encode. In addition, graphs (saved as PNG files) are created where PSNR/SSIM/VMAF score is plotted against frame number. Here's an example
If you do not wish to compile FFmpeg yourself, you can download an FFmpeg binary that supports libvmaf.
- Windows: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/. Download one of the git builds. The "git-essentials" build will suffice.
- macOS: https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/. You should download the snapshot build rather than the release build as the latter (at the time of writing) uses v1.5.2 of vmaf.
- Linux (kernel 3.2.0+): https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/. Download the git build. Installation instructions, as well as how to add FFmpeg and FFprobe to your PATH, can be found here.
