1. A method comprising: applying a filter to a first video frame; applying a video encoder to encode the first filtered video frame; receiving performance information relating to the encoding of the first filtered video frame, wherein the performance information indicates that the video encoder used less than all of a bit rate budget to encode the first filtered video frame; adjusting the filter, based on the performance information indicating that the video encoder used less than all of the bit rate budget to encode the first filtered video frame, to cause the filter to high pass filter a second video frame following the first video frame, such that quality of the second filtered video frame is increased relative to the unfiltered second video frame; and applying the video encoder to encode the second filtered video frame.
