No, we are *not* talking about embedding or generating an Alliance for Open
Media AV1 encoded video stream.

Rather AVIF is a static raster bitmap, comparable to GIF, PNG or JPEG. An LO
import filter for the format is reasonable, especially as AVIF gains broader
acceptance for frame grabs (as AOM AV1 encroaches on the MPEG market).

A LO Bitmap export to AVIF raster would not be a priority. But would expect
that if LO were to make any progress on bug 34959 and possibly make use of an
AV1 encoder (i.e. libaom) to render presentations to HEIF video, that AVIF
bitmap export would come along with the effort.

This is for read only filter import of the AVIF raster image format.
