Chunk based video encoding involves dividing a video into chunks with varying lengths based on the content within those frames. In contrast, dividing the video at a fix interval is prone to generating chunks starting at the middle of hard to encode areas, which can lead to a loss of encoder rate-control efficiency and produce visual quality gaps at the beginning of such chunks. The system can identify a set of boundaries for dividing the video into chunks having similar lengths and with little to no impact on visual quality. The boundaries of the chunks are placed at locations (or frames) that are far from the complex (or hard to encode) areas of the video. To do so, the system evaluates the video using various complexity metrics to identify the complex areas that require more bits to encode relative to less complex areas.
