One-Pass Encoding, Shot-by-Shot Intelligence

Generic encoders apply the same settings to an entire film. BAVE treats every shot as what it is — a unique piece of footage with its own complexity, motion, and noise.

Per-Shot AI Surrogate

A forward neural surrogate predicts the ideal x264 parameters for every scene — tuned to that footage's motion and detail. Dark dialogue scenes differ from fast action.

Frame-Accurate Scene Detection

Advanced detection finds hard cuts and gradual transitions with frame precision, then frame-aligns every boundary to the source grid — zero accumulated A/V drift across an entire feature.

VMAF-Targeted Delivery

Three professional delivery presets — Theatrical, Streaming, Festival — each with its own target VMAF, bitrate ceiling, and audio mastering chain (EBU R128 loudness, true-peak control).

Broadcast-Grade Audio

Surround up/down-mixing, loudness normalization, and per-track language metadata — engineered for theatrical and streaming delivery.

Subtitles Done Right

Burn-in through a full-video pre-pass for perfect timing across cuts, or embed a soft timed-text track that players enable by default. Language auto-detection from filename.

100% Offline, No GPU

Everything runs locally on CPU. Your footage never leaves your machine. No cloud, no subscription, no GPU requirement — just results.

Benchmark Evidence

BAVE vs. Generic Encoder — Same Source, Same Bitrate

The same film encoded two ways at the same file size. Generic is a plain one-pass x264 at medium speed. BAVE runs its Streaming preset with the AI per-shot selector.

BDCP Master

From Edit to DCP in One Suite

BDCP Master turns your finished film into a complete Digital Cinema Package — J2K mastering, MXF wrapping, CPL/PKL/AssetMap, and full QC — without leaving the BAVE workspace.
