Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed on or across the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a video encoding system comprising:
a film grain description estimator configured to:
receive an input video comprising film grain;
analyze the input video to generate a film grain description for the input video; and

a video encoder configured to:
receive the input video;
responsive to a determination that the input video comprises film grain, configure one or more encoder settings to de-grain the input video as part of encoding to achieve a compression target; and
encode, according to the configured encoder settings, the input video comprising film grain to de-grain the input video to produce encoded video achieving the compression target; and

wherein the video encoding system is configured to send the encoded video and the film grain description to a video destination.
