Is Intel QSV available on Mac/Linux yet by any chance?
There's a patchset for this feature being discussed on the mailing list:

FFmpeg on Linux supports QSV either through the h264_qsv encoder or through some soon-to-be-merged va-api changes. On Mac I think you need to use the VideoToolbox API to access the GPU codec, and there is support for this in FFmpeg as well, but I haven't used it myself.
Chromakey was introduced in 2.8.x.
It's in the official changelog as a new feature: http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/ffmpeg.git/?p=ffmpeg.git;...
Apologies, you're correct. I was thinking of the colorkey filter:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#colorkey
This was introduced in 2.8 and does the same thing as chromakey, except in RGB rather than YUV.
