[FEATURE REQUEST] HEVC VAAPI AMD Support

[polluxau]

I'm not technically inclined to know how you get hevc vaapi working with amd, but iv been using it on obs-studio for videos for a long time now without any issues when encoding on linux, so im wondering why kdenlive doesnt have that option available? nvenc hevc is available on kdenlive and works great, so i would rlly like to see vaapi hevc support on amd gpu's so i dont need to encode with h.264 vaapi or needing to do cpu encoding which takes ages on something like vp9

Thanks!

https://discuss.kde.org/t/ffmpeg-supports-amd-h265-hardware-encoding-why-doesnt-kdenlive/9483 suggests that changing the profile may do it?

Side request (very unlikely to fix your issue), we're looking for testers for the latest update: #472

Thanks!

Looking further there is a option to use it in custom profile for encoding

Im wondering why this isnt in the list by default, is there encoding problems with vaapi hevc?
