  "markdown": "> **Caution — End of life.**\n>\n> rAV1ator was declared end of life and its [repository](https://github.com/gianni-rosato/rAV1ator) archived in October 2024. The last release was 1.1.2 (May 2023). The README points users to [Aviator](/tools/utilities/aviator/).\n> **Repository:** [gianni-rosato/rAV1ator](https://github.com/gianni-rosato/rAV1ator) (Archived). GUI utility for encoding with rav1e & Opus. Latest release: [1.1.2](https://github.com/gianni-rosato/rAV1ator/releases/tag/1.1.2), May 16, 2023. Last commit: Oct 20, 2024. License: GPL-3.0. Stars: 17.\n\nrAV1ator was a Linux GUI by Gianni Rosato and Trix, a sister project of [Aviator](/tools/utilities/aviator/). Where Aviator encodes with SVT-AV1, rAV1ator used [Av1an](/tools/utilities/av1an/) with the [rav1e](/tools/software-encoders/rav1e/) encoder and Opus audio, for enthusiasts who specifically wanted that combination. It was distributed as a Flatpak from the developer's own repository rather than Flathub.\n\nToday, use [Aviator](/tools/utilities/aviator/) for a simple AV1 GUI, or Av1an directly (`-e rav1e`) if you want rav1e with scene-based parallel encoding.\n"
