Advanced Media Framework (AMF) SDK

AMF is a light-weight, portable multimedia framework that abstracts away most of the platform and API-specific details and allows for easy implementation of multimedia applications using a variety of technologies, such as DirectX 11, OpenGL, and OpenCL and facilitates an efficient interop between them.

Prerequisites

• Windows® 7 (SP1 with the Platform Update), Windows® 8.1, or Windows® 10
• Visual Studio® 2017 or Visual Studio® 2019
• Version 1.4.16: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 20.2.1 or newer. Added the Pre-Analysis component to improve perceptual quality of encoded video.
• Version 1.4.9 or later requires Vulkan SDK for some samples: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/ and AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.8.1 (18.30.01.01) or newer. This version supports Linux (see amd.com for driver support)
• Version 1.4.4 or later requires OCL_SDK_Light: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/OCL-SDK/releases. Previous versions of AMF require the AMD APP SDK (Version 3.0 or later), Windows 10 SDK (Version 10586). This version requires AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 17.7.2 (17.30.1041) or newer
• Version 1.4: AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 17.1.1 (16.50.2611) or newer
• Version 1.3: AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.7.3 (16.30.2311) or newer

The AMF framework is compatible with most recent Radeon GPUs starting with the Southern Islands family and APUs of the Kabini, Kaveri, Carrizo families and newer.

Getting Started
