Description

Is there a way to make the encoder parameter configurable? This could make rendering time much faster.
For AMD GPU user they could use h264_amf or hevc_amf encoder.

Research direction

Look at manimlib/scene/scene_file_writer.py line 421 where the encoder is currently set. Understand how FFmpeg hardware acceleration encoders like h264_amf or hevc_amf work. Check if there's a configuration system for render settings. The goal is to make the encoder parameter configurable, likely via a command-line argument or config file, to allow users to specify hardware-accelerated encoders.
