rAV1ator 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.

Today, use [Aviator](/tools/utilities/aviator/) for a simple AV1 GUI, or Av1an directly (`-e rav1e`) if you want rav1e with scene-based parallel encoding.
