Key highlights include expanded Vulkan API acceleration (APV video decoding, Apple ProRes RAW, and a new v360 Vulkan filter), animated WebP decoding and demuxing, HE-AAC 960 decoding for DAB+, a transpose NVIDIA CUDA filter, and multiple AMD AMF enhancements including a Frame Rate Converter, Video Quality Enhancer, and hardware memory mapping support. The release also adds ONNX Runtime DNN backend with GPU execution provider support, more AVX-512 optimizations, and removes deprecated NVENC options and CELT decoding support. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are the main new features in FFmpeg 9.0? FFmpeg 9.0 adds expanded Vulkan acceleration including an APV Vulkan hwaccel and a new v360_vulkan filter, Apple ProRes RAW VideoToolbox hwaccel, animated WebP decoder and demuxer, HE-AAC 960 decoding for DAB+, a transpose_cuda filter, and several new AMD AMF filters (frame rate converter, video quality enhancer, hardware memory mapping). It also adds LCEVC track muxing in the MP4 muxer and an ONNX Runtime DNN backend with GPU execution provider support. _Teams tracking FFmpeg's codec and hardware acceleration roadmap follow release breakdowns like this on daily.dev._ ### Does FFmpeg 9.0 remove any existing features? Yes, FFmpeg 9.0 removes CELT decoding support and ogg/celt parsing, though this does not affect standard Opus CELT support. It also removes deprecated NVENC options and support for pre-11.1 NVENC SDK versions, which matters for anyone building FFmpeg against older NVIDIA encoding SDKs. _Developers planning an FFmpeg upgrade check breaking changes like these on daily.dev before rebuilding pipelines._ ### Does FFmpeg support animated WebP files? Yes, as of FFmpeg 9.0 there is a dedicated animated WebP decoder and demuxer, allowing FFmpeg to read and process animated WebP files directly rather than relying on external tooling. _Anyone building media pipelines around WebP support can follow FFmpeg format updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [FFmpeg 8.1 Released With Experimental xHE-AAC MPS212, More Vulkan Acceleration](https://daily.dev/posts/ffmpeg-8-1-released-with-experimental-xhe-aac-mps212-more-vulkan-acceleration-yklasxtd0) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [FFmpeg 8.1 Preparing For Release With Vulkan Improvements, JPEG-XS & More](https://daily.dev/posts/ffmpeg-8-1-preparing-for-release-with-vulkan-improvements-jpeg-xs-more-p5lfavvob) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Video Encoding and Decoding with Vulkan Compute Shaders in FFmpeg](https://daily.dev/posts/video-encoding-and-decoding-with-vulkan-compute-shaders-in-ffmpeg-wmurcqryk) · Khronos · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [FFmpeg Introduces Vulkan Accelerated Decoding For APV Video](https://daily.dev/posts/ffmpeg-introduces-vulkan-accelerated-decoding-for-apv-video-uttw7rvan) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend), [#vulkan](https://daily.dev/tags/vulkan) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/ffmpeg-9-0-released-with-more-vulkan-acceleration-animated-webp-more-amd-amf-ox94bsmxe) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"FFmpeg 9.0 Released With More Vulkan Acceleration, Animated WebP & More AMD AMF","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ffmpeg-9-0-released-with-more-vulkan-acceleration-animated-webp-more-amd-amf-ox94bsmxe","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ffmpeg-9-0-released-with-more-vulkan-acceleration-animated-webp-more-amd-amf-ox94bsmxe"},"datePublished":"2026-08-04T01:00:47.651Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:40:53.588Z","description":"FFmpeg 9.0 has been released with a range of new features and improvements.
