## Name

VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR - Structure specifying video encode usage information

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Additional information about the video encode use case can be provided by adding a `VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR` structure to the `pNext` chain of VkVideoProfileInfoKHR.

The `VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_encode_queue
    typedef struct VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR {
        VkStructureType                 sType;
        const void*                     pNext;
        VkVideoEncodeUsageFlagsKHR      videoUsageHints;
        VkVideoEncodeContentFlagsKHR    videoContentHints;
        VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR      tuningMode;
    } VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `videoUsageHints` is a bitmask of VkVideoEncodeUsageFlagBitsKHR specifying hints about the intended use of the video encode profile.

- `videoContentHints` is a bitmask of VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR specifying hints about the content to be encoded using the video encode profile.

- `tuningMode` is a VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR value specifying the tuning mode to use when encoding with the video profile.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_ENCODE_USAGE_INFO_KHR`

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR-videoUsageHints-parameter
  `videoUsageHints` must be a valid combination of VkVideoEncodeUsageFlagBitsKHR values

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR-videoContentHints-parameter
  `videoContentHints` must be a valid combination of VkVideoEncodeContentFlagBitsKHR values

- VUID-VkVideoEncodeUsageInfoKHR-tuningMode-parameter
  If `tuningMode` is not `0`, `tuningMode` must be a valid VkVideoEncodeTuningModeKHR value
