ffmpeg-filters - FFmpeg filters

=head1 DESCRIPTION


This document describes filters, sources, and sinks provided by the
libavfilter library.



=head1 FILTERING INTRODUCTION


Filtering in FFmpeg is enabled through the libavfilter library.

In libavfilter, a filter can have multiple inputs and multiple
outputs.
To illustrate the sorts of things that are possible, we consider the
following filtergraph.

	
	                [main]
	input --> split ---------------------> overlay --> output
	            |                             ^
	            |[tmp]                  [flip]|
	            +-----> crop --> vflip -------+


This filtergraph splits the input stream in two streams, then sends one
stream through the crop filter and the vflip filter, before merging it
back with the other stream by overlaying it on top. You can use the
following command to achieve this:

	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf "split [main][tmp]; [tmp] crop=iw:ih/2:0:0, vflip [flip]; [main][flip] overlay=0:H/2" OUTPUT


The result will be that the top half of the video is mirrored
onto the bottom half of the output video.

Filters in the same linear chain are separated by commas, and distinct
linear chains of filters are separated by semicolons. In our example,
I<crop,vflip> are in one linear chain, I<split> and
I<overlay> are separately in another. The points where the linear
chains join are labelled by names enclosed in square brackets. In the
example, the split filter generates two outputs that are associated to
the labels I<[main]> and I<[tmp]>.

The stream sent to the second output of I<split>, labelled as
I<[tmp]>, is processed through the I<crop> filter, which crops
away the lower half part of the video, and then vertically flipped. The
I<overlay> filter takes in input the first unchanged output of the
split filter (which was labelled as I<[main]>), and overlay on its
lower half the output generated by the I<crop,vflip> filterchain.

Some filters take in input a list of parameters: they are specified
after the filter name and an equal sign, and are separated from each other
by a colon.

There exist so-called I<source filters> that do not have an
audio/video input, and I<sink filters> that will not have audio/video
output.



=head1 GRAPH


The F<graph2dot> program included in the FFmpeg F<tools>
directory can be used to parse a filtergraph description and issue a
corresponding textual representation in the dot language.

Invoke the command:
	
	graph2dot -h


to see how to use F<graph2dot>.

You can then pass the dot description to the F<dot> program (from
the graphviz suite of programs) and obtain a graphical representation
of the filtergraph.

For example the sequence of commands:
	
	echo <GRAPH_DESCRIPTION> | \
	tools/graph2dot -o graph.tmp && \
	dot -Tpng graph.tmp -o graph.png && \
	display graph.png


can be used to create and display an image representing the graph
described by the I<GRAPH_DESCRIPTION> string. Note that this string must be
a complete self-contained graph, with its inputs and outputs explicitly defined.
For example if your command line is of the form:
	
	ffmpeg -i infile -vf scale=640:360 outfile

your I<GRAPH_DESCRIPTION> string will need to be of the form:
	
	nullsrc,scale=640:360,nullsink

you may also need to set the I<nullsrc> parameters and add a I<format>
filter in order to simulate a specific input file.



=head1 FILTERGRAPH DESCRIPTION


A filtergraph is a directed graph of connected filters. It can contain
cycles, and there can be multiple links between a pair of
filters. Each link has one input pad on one side connecting it to one
filter from which it takes its input, and one output pad on the other
side connecting it to one filter accepting its output.

Each filter in a filtergraph is an instance of a filter class
registered in the application, which defines the features and the
number of input and output pads of the filter.

A filter with no input pads is called a "source", and a filter with no
output pads is called a "sink".



=head2 Filtergraph syntax


A filtergraph has a textual representation, which is recognized by the
B<-filter>/B<-vf>/B<-af> and
B<-filter_complex> options in B<ffmpeg> and
B<-vf>/B<-af> in B<ffplay>, and by the
C<avfilter_graph_parse_ptr()> function defined in
F<libavfilter/avfilter.h>.

A filterchain consists of a sequence of connected filters, each one
connected to the previous one in the sequence. A filterchain is
represented by a list of ","-separated filter descriptions.

A filtergraph consists of a sequence of filterchains. A sequence of
filterchains is represented by a list of ";"-separated filterchain
descriptions.

A filter is represented by a string of the form:
[I<in_link_1>]...[I<in_link_N>]I<filter_name>@I<id>=I<arguments>[I<out_link_1>]...[I<out_link_M>]

I<filter_name> is the name of the filter class of which the
described filter is an instance of, and has to be the name of one of
the filter classes registered in the program optionally followed by "@I<id>".
The name of the filter class is optionally followed by a string
"=I<arguments>".

I<arguments> is a string which contains the parameters used to
initialize the filter instance. It may have one of two forms:

=over 4



=item *

A ':'-separated list of I<key=value> pairs.


=item *

A ':'-separated list of I<value>. In this case, the keys are assumed to be
the option names in the order they are declared. E.g. the C<fade> filter
declares three options in this order -- B<type>, B<start_frame> and
B<nb_frames>. Then the parameter list I<in:0:30> means that the value
I<in> is assigned to the option B<type>, I<0> to
B<start_frame> and I<30> to B<nb_frames>.


=item *

A ':'-separated list of mixed direct I<value> and long I<key=value>
pairs. The direct I<value> must precede the I<key=value> pairs, and
follow the same constraints order of the previous point. The following
I<key=value> pairs can be set in any preferred order.


=back


If the option value itself is a list of items (e.g. the C<format> filter
takes a list of pixel formats), the items in the list are usually separated by
B<|>.

The list of arguments can be quoted using the character B<'> as initial
and ending mark, and the character B<\> for escaping the characters
within the quoted text; otherwise the argument string is considered
terminated when the next special character (belonging to the set
B<[]=;,>) is encountered.

A special syntax implemented in the B<ffmpeg> CLI tool allows loading
option values from files. This is done be prepending a slash '/' to the option
name, then the supplied value is interpreted as a path from which the actual
value is loaded. E.g.
	
	ffmpeg -i <INPUT> -vf drawtext=/text=/tmp/some_text <OUTPUT>

will load the text to be drawn from F</tmp/some_text>. API users wishing to
implement a similar feature should use the C<avfilter_graph_segment_*()>
functions together with custom IO code.

The name and arguments of the filter are optionally preceded and
followed by a list of link labels.
A link label allows one to name a link and associate it to a filter output
or input pad. The preceding labels I<in_link_1>
... I<in_link_N>, are associated to the filter input pads,
the following labels I<out_link_1> ... I<out_link_M>, are
associated to the output pads.

When two link labels with the same name are found in the
filtergraph, a link between the corresponding input and output pad is
created.

If an output pad is not labelled, it is linked by default to the first
unlabelled input pad of the next filter in the filterchain.
For example in the filterchain
	
	nullsrc, split[L1], [L2]overlay, nullsink

the split filter instance has two output pads, and the overlay filter
instance two input pads. The first output pad of split is labelled
"L1", the first input pad of overlay is labelled "L2", and the second
output pad of split is linked to the second input pad of overlay,
which are both unlabelled.

In a filter description, if the input label of the first filter is not
specified, "in" is assumed; if the output label of the last filter is not
specified, "out" is assumed.

In a complete filterchain all the unlabelled filter input and output
pads must be connected. A filtergraph is considered valid if all the
filter input and output pads of all the filterchains are connected.

Leading and trailing whitespaces (space, tabs, or line feeds) separating tokens
in the filtergraph specification are ignored. This means that the filtergraph
can be expressed using empty lines and spaces to improve redability.

For example, the filtergraph:
	
	testsrc,split[L1],hflip[L2];[L1][L2] hstack


can be represented as:
	
	testsrc,
	split [L1], hflip [L2];
	
	[L1][L2] hstack


Libavfilter will automatically insert B<scale> filters where format
conversion is required. It is possible to specify swscale flags
for those automatically inserted scalers by prepending
C<sws_flags=I<flags>;>
to the filtergraph description.

Here is a BNF description of the filtergraph syntax:
	
	<NAME>             ::= sequence of alphanumeric characters and '_'
	<FILTER_NAME>      ::= <NAME>["@"<NAME>]
	<LINKLABEL>        ::= "[" <NAME> "]"
	<LINKLABELS>       ::= <LINKLABEL> [<LINKLABELS>]
	<FILTER_ARGUMENTS> ::= sequence of chars (possibly quoted)
	<FILTER>           ::= [<LINKLABELS>] <FILTER_NAME> ["=" <FILTER_ARGUMENTS>] [<LINKLABELS>]
	<FILTERCHAIN>      ::= <FILTER> [,<FILTERCHAIN>]
	<FILTERGRAPH>      ::= [sws_flags=<flags>;] <FILTERCHAIN> [;<FILTERGRAPH>]




=head2 Notes on filtergraph escaping


Filtergraph description composition entails several levels of
escaping. See B<the "Quoting and escaping"
section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual> for more
information about the employed escaping procedure.

A first level escaping affects the content of each filter option
value, which may contain the special character C<:> used to
separate values, or one of the escaping characters C<\'>.

A second level escaping affects the whole filter description, which
may contain the escaping characters C<\'> or the special
characters C<[],;> used by the filtergraph description.

Finally, when you specify a filtergraph on a shell commandline, you
need to perform a third level escaping for the shell special
characters contained within it.

For example, consider the following string to be embedded in
the B<drawtext> filter description B<text> value:
	
	this is a 'string': may contain one, or more, special characters


This string contains the C<'> special escaping character, and the
C<:> special character, so it needs to be escaped in this way:
	
	text=this is a \'string\'\: may contain one, or more, special characters


A second level of escaping is required when embedding the filter
description in a filtergraph description, in order to escape all the
filtergraph special characters. Thus the example above becomes:
	
	drawtext=text=this is a \\\'string\\\'\\: may contain one\, or more\, special characters

(note that in addition to the C<\'> escaping special characters,
also C<,> needs to be escaped).

Finally an additional level of escaping is needed when writing the
filtergraph description in a shell command, which depends on the
escaping rules of the adopted shell. For example, assuming that
C<\> is special and needs to be escaped with another C<\>, the
previous string will finally result in:
	
	-vf "drawtext=text=this is a \\\\\\'string\\\\\\'\\\\: may contain one\\, or more\\, special characters"


In order to avoid cumbersome escaping when using a commandline tool accepting a
filter specification as input, it is advisable to avoid direct inclusion of the
filter or options specification in the shell.

For example, in case of the B<drawtext filter>, you might prefer to
use the B<textfile> option in place of B<text> to specify the text
to render.

When using the B<ffmpeg> tool, you might consider to use the
B<-filter_script option> or
B<-filter_complex_script option>.


=head1 TIMELINE EDITING


Some filters support a generic B<enable> option. For the filters
supporting timeline editing, this option can be set to an expression which is
evaluated before sending a frame to the filter. If the evaluation is non-zero,
the filter will be enabled, otherwise the frame will be sent unchanged to the
next filter in the filtergraph.

The expression accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<t>

timestamp expressed in seconds, NAN if the input timestamp is unknown


=item B<n>

sequential number of the input frame, starting from 0


=item B<pos>

the position in the file of the input frame, NAN if unknown; deprecated, do
not use


=item B<w>


=item B<h>

width and height of the input frame if video

=back


Additionally, these filters support an B<enable> command that can be used
to re-define the expression.

Like any other filtering option, the B<enable> option follows the same
rules.

For example, to enable a blur filter (B<smartblur>) from 10 seconds to 3
minutes, and a B<curves> filter starting at 3 seconds:
	
	smartblur = enable='between(t,10,3*60)',
	curves    = enable='gte(t,3)' : preset=cross_process


See C<ffmpeg -filters> to view which filters have timeline support.




=head1 CHANGING OPTIONS AT RUNTIME WITH A COMMAND


Some options can be changed during the operation of the filter using
a command. These options are marked 'T' on the output of
B<ffmpeg> B<-h filter=E<lt>name of filterE<gt>>.
The name of the command is the name of the option and the argument is
the new value.



=head1 OPTIONS FOR FILTERS WITH SEVERAL INPUTS 


Some filters with several inputs support a common set of options.
These options can only be set by name, not with the short notation.


=over 4


=item B<eof_action>

The action to take when EOF is encountered on the secondary input; it accepts
one of the following values:


=over 4


=item B<repeat>

Repeat the last frame (the default).

=item B<endall>

End both streams.

=item B<pass>

Pass the main input through.

=back



=item B<shortest>

If set to 1, force the output to terminate when the shortest input
terminates. Default value is 0.


=item B<repeatlast>

If set to 1, force the filter to extend the last frame of secondary streams
until the end of the primary stream. A value of 0 disables this behavior.
Default value is 1.


=item B<ts_sync_mode>

How strictly to sync streams based on secondary input timestamps; it accepts
one of the following values:


=over 4


=item B<default>

Frame from secondary input with the nearest lower or equal timestamp to the
primary input frame.

=item B<nearest>

Frame from secondary input with the absolute nearest timestamp to the primary
input frame.

=back

=head1 AUDIO FILTERS


When you configure your FFmpeg build, you can disable any of the
existing filters using C<--disable-filters>.
The configure output will show the audio filters included in your
build.

Below is a description of the currently available audio filters.


=head2 acompressor


A compressor is mainly used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal.
Especially modern music is mostly compressed at a high ratio to
improve the overall loudness. It's done to get the highest attention
of a listener, "fatten" the sound and bring more "power" to the track.
If a signal is compressed too much it may sound dull or "dead"
afterwards or it may start to "pump" (which could be a powerful effect
but can also destroy a track completely).
The right compression is the key to reach a professional sound and is
the high art of mixing and mastering. Because of its complex settings
it may take a long time to get the right feeling for this kind of effect.

Compression is done by detecting the volume above a chosen level
C<threshold> and dividing it by the factor set with C<ratio>.
So if you set the threshold to -12dB and your signal reaches -6dB a ratio
of 2:1 will result in a signal at -9dB. Because an exact manipulation of
the signal would cause distortion of the waveform the reduction can be
levelled over the time. This is done by setting "Attack" and "Release".
C<attack> determines how long the signal has to rise above the threshold
before any reduction will occur and C<release> sets the time the signal
has to fall below the threshold to reduce the reduction again. Shorter signals
than the chosen attack time will be left untouched.
The overall reduction of the signal can be made up afterwards with the
C<makeup> setting. So compressing the peaks of a signal about 6dB and
raising the makeup to this level results in a signal twice as loud than the
source. To gain a softer entry in the compression the C<knee> flattens the
hard edge at the threshold in the range of the chosen decibels.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<level_in>

Set input gain. Default is 1. Range is between 0.015625 and 64.


=item B<mode>

Set mode of compressor operation. Can be C<upward> or C<downward>.
Default is C<downward>.


=item B<threshold>

If a signal of stream rises above this level it will affect the gain
reduction.
By default it is 0.125. Range is between 0.00097563 and 1.


=item B<ratio>

Set a ratio by which the signal is reduced. 1:2 means that if the level
rose 4dB above the threshold, it will be only 2dB above after the reduction.
Default is 2. Range is between 1 and 20.


=item B<attack>

Amount of milliseconds the signal has to rise above the threshold before gain
reduction starts. Default is 20. Range is between 0.01 and 2000.


=item B<release>

Amount of milliseconds the signal has to fall below the threshold before
reduction is decreased again. Default is 250. Range is between 0.01 and 9000.


=item B<makeup>

Set the amount by how much signal will be amplified after processing.
Default is 1. Range is from 1 to 64.


=item B<knee>

Curve the sharp knee around the threshold to enter gain reduction more softly.
Default is 2.82843. Range is between 1 and 8.


=item B<link>

Choose if the C<average> level between all channels of input stream
or the louder(C<maximum>) channel of input stream affects the
reduction. Default is C<average>.


=item B<detection>

Should the exact signal be taken in case of C<peak> or an RMS one in case
of C<rms>. Default is C<rms> which is mostly smoother.


=item B<mix>

How much to use compressed signal in output. Default is 1.
Range is between 0 and 1.

=back

=over 4


=item B<contrast>

Set contrast. Default is 33. Allowed range is between 0 and 100.

=back



=head2 acopy


Copy the input audio source unchanged to the output. This is mainly useful for
testing purposes.


=head2 acrossfade


Apply cross fade from one input audio stream to another input audio stream.
The cross fade is applied for specified duration near the end of first stream.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<nb_samples, ns>

Specify the number of samples for which the cross fade effect has to last.
At the end of the cross fade effect the first input audio will be completely
silent. Default is 44100.


=item B<duration, d>

Specify the duration of the cross fade effect. See
B<the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual>
for the accepted syntax.
By default the duration is determined by I<nb_samples>.
If set this option is used instead of I<nb_samples>.


=item B<overlap, o>

Should first stream end overlap with second stream start. Default is enabled.


=item B<curve1>

Set curve for cross fade transition for first stream.


=item B<curve2>

Set curve for cross fade transition for second stream.

=over 4


=item *

Split input audio stream into two bands (low and high) with split frequency of 1500 Hz,
each band will be in separate stream:
	
	ffmpeg -i in.flac -filter_complex 'acrossover=split=1500[LOW][HIGH]' -map '[LOW]' low.wav -map '[HIGH]' high.wav



=item *

Same as above, but with higher filter order:

	ffmpeg -i in.flac -filter_complex 'acrossover=split=1500 8000:order=8th[LOW][MID][HIGH]' -map '[LOW]' low.wav -map '[MID]' mid.wav -map '[HIGH]' high.wav


=back



=head2 acrusher


Reduce audio bit resolution.

This filter is bit crusher with enhanced functionality. A bit crusher
is used to audibly reduce number of bits an audio signal is sampled
with. This doesn't change the bit depth at all, it just produces the
effect. Material reduced in bit depth sounds more harsh and "digital".
This filter is able to even round to continuous values instead of discrete
bit depths.
Additionally it has a D/C offset which results in different crushing of
the lower and the upper half of the signal.
An Anti-Aliasing setting is able to produce "softer" crushing sounds.

Another feature of this filter is the logarithmic mode.
This setting switches from linear distances between bits to logarithmic ones.
The result is a much more "natural" sounding crusher which doesn't gate low
signals for example. The human ear has a logarithmic perception,
so this kind of crushing is much more pleasant.
Logarithmic crushing is also able to get anti-aliased.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<level_in>

Set level in.


=item B<level_out>

Set level out.


=item B<bits>

Set bit reduction.


=item B<mix>

Set mixing amount.


=item B<mode>

Can be linear: C<lin> or logarithmic: C<log>.


=item B<dc>

Set DC.


=item B<aa>

Set anti-aliasing.


=item B<samples>

Set sample reduction.


=item B<lfo>

Enable LFO. By default disabled.


=item B<lforange>

Set LFO range.


=item B<lforate>

Set LFO rate.

=back



=head3 Commands


This filter supports the all above options as B<commands>.


=head2 acue


Delay audio filtering until a given wallclock timestamp. See the B<cue>
filter.


=head2 adeclick

Remove impulsive noise from input audio.

Samples detected as impulsive noise are replaced by interpolated samples using
autoregressive modelling.


=over 4


=item B<window, w>

Set window size, in milliseconds. Allowed range is from C<10> to
C<100>. Default value is C<55> milliseconds.
This sets size of window which will be processed at once.


=item B<overlap, o>

Set window overlap, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from
C<50> to C<95>. Default value is C<75> percent.
Setting this to a very high value increases impulsive noise removal but makes
whole process much slower.


=item B<arorder, a>

Set autoregression order, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from
C<0> to C<25>. Default value is C<2> percent. This option also
controls quality of interpolated samples using neighbour good samples.


=item B<threshold, t>

Set threshold value. Allowed range is from C<1> to C<100>.
Default value is C<2>.
This controls the strength of impulsive noise which is going to be removed.
The lower value, the more samples will be detected as impulsive noise.


=item B<burst, b>

Set burst fusion, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is C<0> to
C<10>. Default value is C<2>.
If any two samples detected as noise are spaced less than this value then any
sample between those two samples will be also detected as noise.


=item B<method, m>

Set overlap method.

It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<add, a>

Select overlap-add method. Even not interpolated samples are slightly
changed with this method.


=item B<save, s>

Select overlap-save method. Not interpolated samples remain unchanged.

=back


Default value is C<a>.

=back



=head2 adeclip

Remove clipped samples from input audio.

Samples detected as clipped are replaced by interpolated samples using
autoregressive modelling.


=over 4


=item B<window, w>

Set window size, in milliseconds. Allowed range is from C<10> to C<100>.
Default value is C<55> milliseconds.
This sets size of window which will be processed at once.


=item B<overlap, o>

Set window overlap, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from C<50>
to C<95>. Default value is C<75> percent.


=item B<arorder, a>

Set autoregression order, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from
C<0> to C<25>. Default value is C<8> percent. This option also controls
quality of interpolated samples using neighbour good samples.


=item B<threshold, t>

Set threshold value. Allowed range is from C<1> to C<100>.
Default value is C<10>. Higher values make clip detection less aggressive.


=item B<hsize, n>

Set size of histogram used to detect clips. Allowed range is from C<100> to C<9999>.
Default value is C<1000>. Higher values make clip detection less aggressive.


=item B<method, m>

Set overlap method.

It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<add, a>

Select overlap-add method. Even not interpolated samples are slightly changed
with this method.

Delay one or more audio channels.

Samples in delayed channel are filled with silence.

The filter accepts the following option:


=over 4


=item B<delays>

Set list of delays in milliseconds for each channel separated by '|'.

=head3 Commands


This filter supports the all above options as B<commands>.


=head2 agate


A gate is mainly used to reduce lower parts of a signal. This kind of signal
processing reduces disturbing noise between useful signals.

Gating is done by detecting the volume below a chosen level I<threshold>
and dividing it by the factor set with I<ratio>. The bottom of the noise
floor is set via I<range>. Because an exact manipulation of the signal
would cause distortion of the waveform the reduction can be levelled over
time. This is done by setting I<attack> and I<release>.

I<attack> determines how long the signal has to fall below the threshold
before any reduction will occur and I<release> sets the time the signal
has to rise above the threshold to reduce the reduction again.
Shorter signals than the chosen attack time will be left untouched.


=over 4

Default is 1. Allowed range is from 0.015625 to 64.


=item B<mode>

Default is C<downward>. If set to C<upward> mode, higher parts of signal
will be amplified, expanding dynamic range in upward direction.
Otherwise, in case of C<downward> lower parts of signal will be reduced.


=item B<range>

Set the level of gain reduction when the signal is below the threshold.
Default is 0.06125. Allowed range is from 0 to 1.
Setting this to 0 disables reduction and then filter behaves like expander.


=item B<threshold>

If a signal rises above this level the gain reduction is released.
Default is 0.125. Allowed range is from 0 to 1.


=item B<ratio>

Set a ratio by which the signal is reduced.
Default is 2. Allowed range is from 1 to 9000.


=item B<attack>

Amount of milliseconds the signal has to rise above the threshold before gain
reduction stops.
Default is 20 milliseconds. Allowed range is from 0.01 to 9000.


=item B<release>

Amount of milliseconds the signal has to fall below the threshold before the
reduction is increased again. Default is 250 milliseconds.
Allowed range is from 0.01 to 9000.


=item B<makeup>

Set amount of amplification of signal after processing.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 1 to 64.


=item B<knee>

Curve the sharp knee around the threshold to enter gain reduction more softly.
Default is 2.828427125. Allowed range is from 1 to 8.


=item B<detection>

Choose if exact signal should be taken for detection or an RMS like one.
Default is C<rms>. Can be C<peak> or C<rms>.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4



=item B<inputs>

Set the number of inputs. Default is 2.


=back


If the channel layouts of the inputs are disjoint, and therefore compatible,
the channel layout of the output will be set accordingly and the channels
will be reordered as necessary. If the channel layouts of the inputs are not
disjoint, the output will have all the channels of the first input then all
the channels of the second input, in that order, and the channel layout of
the output will be the default value corresponding to the total number of
channels.

For example, if the first input is in 2.1 (FL+FR+LF) and the second input
is FC+BL+BR, then the output will be in 5.1, with the channels in the
following order: a1, a2, b1, a3, b2, b3 (a1 is the first channel of the
first input, b1 is the first channel of the second input).

On the other hand, if both input are in stereo, the output channels will be
in the default order: a1, a2, b1, b2, and the channel layout will be
arbitrarily set to 4.0, which may or may not be the expected value.

All inputs must have the same sample rate, and format.

If inputs do not have the same duration, the output will stop with the
shortest.

=head2 apulsator


Audio pulsator is something between an autopanner and a tremolo.
But it can produce funny stereo effects as well. Pulsator changes the volume
of the left and right channel based on a LFO (low frequency oscillator) with
different waveforms and shifted phases.
This filter have the ability to define an offset between left and right
channel. An offset of 0 means that both LFO shapes match each other.
The left and right channel are altered equally - a conventional tremolo.
An offset of 50% means that the shape of the right channel is exactly shifted
in phase (or moved backwards about half of the frequency) - pulsator acts as
an autopanner. At 1 both curves match again. Every setting in between moves the
phase shift gapless between all stages and produces some "bypassing" sounds with
sine and triangle waveforms. The more you set the offset near 1 (starting from
the 0.5) the faster the signal passes from the left to the right speaker.

=head2 atrim


Trim the input so that the output contains one continuous subpart of the input.

It accepts the following parameters:

=over 4


=item B<start>

Timestamp (in seconds) of the start of the section to keep. I.e. the audio
sample with the timestamp I<start> will be the first sample in the output.


=item B<end>

Specify time of the first audio sample that will be dropped, i.e. the
audio sample immediately preceding the one with the timestamp I<end> will be
the last sample in the output.


=item B<start_pts>

Same as I<start>, except this option sets the start timestamp in samples
instead of seconds.


=item B<end_pts>

Same as I<end>, except this option sets the end timestamp in samples instead
of seconds.


=item B<duration>

The maximum duration of the output in seconds.


=item B<start_sample>

The number of the first sample that should be output.


=item B<end_sample>

The number of the first sample that should be dropped.

=back


B<start>, B<end>, and B<duration> are expressed as time
duration specifications; see
B<the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual>.

Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the B<duration>
option look at the frame timestamp, while the _sample options simply count the
samples that pass through the filter. So start/end_pts and start/end_sample will
give different results when the timestamps are wrong, inexact or do not start at
zero. Also note that this filter does not modify the timestamps. If you wish
to have the output timestamps start at zero, insert the asetpts filter after the
atrim filter.

If multiple start or end options are set, this filter tries to be greedy and
keep all samples that match at least one of the specified constraints. To keep
only the part that matches all the constraints at once, chain multiple atrim
filters.

The defaults are such that all the input is kept. So it is possible to set e.g.
just the end values to keep everything before the specified time.

Examples:

=over 4


=item *

Drop everything except the second minute of input:
	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=60:120



=item *

Keep only the first 1000 samples:
	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=end_sample=1000

If result is -1 it means two input samples are out of phase, which means they cancel each
other.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<size>

Set size of segment over which cross-correlation is calculated.
Default is 256. Allowed range is from 2 to 131072.

=head2 chorus

Add a chorus effect to the audio.

Can make a single vocal sound like a chorus, but can also be applied to instrumentation.

Chorus resembles an echo effect with a short delay, but whereas with echo the delay is
constant, with chorus, it is varied using using sinusoidal or triangular modulation.
The modulation depth defines the range the modulated delay is played before or after
the delay. Hence the delayed sound will sound slower or faster, that is the delayed
sound tuned around the original one, like in a chorus where some vocals are slightly
off key.

It accepts the following parameters:

=head2 compand

Compress or expand the audio's dynamic range.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<attacks>


=item B<decays>

A list of times in seconds for each channel over which the instantaneous level
of the input signal is averaged to determine its volume. I<attacks> refers to
increase of volume and I<decays> refers to decrease of volume. For most
situations, the attack time (response to the audio getting louder) should be
shorter than the decay time, because the human ear is more sensitive to sudden
loud audio than sudden soft audio. A typical value for attack is 0.3 seconds and
a typical value for decay is 0.8 seconds.
If specified number of attacks & decays is lower than number of channels, the last
set attack/decay will be used for all remaining channels.


=item B<points>

A list of points for the transfer function, specified in dB relative to the
maximum possible signal amplitude. Each key points list must be defined using
the following syntax: C<x0/y0|x1/y1|x2/y2|....> or
C<x0/y0 x1/y1 x2/y2 ....>

The input values must be in strictly increasing order but the transfer function
does not have to be monotonically rising. The point C<0/0> is assumed but
may be overridden (by C<0/out-dBn>). Typical values for the transfer
function are C<-70/-70|-60/-20|1/0>.


=item B<soft-knee>

Set the curve radius in dB for all joints. It defaults to 0.01.


=item B<gain>

Set the additional gain in dB to be applied at all points on the transfer
function. This allows for easy adjustment of the overall gain.
It defaults to 0.


=item B<volume>

Set an initial volume, in dB, to be assumed for each channel when filtering
starts. This permits the user to supply a nominal level initially, so that, for
example, a very large gain is not applied to initial signal levels before the
companding has begun to operate. A typical value for audio which is initially
quiet is -90 dB. It defaults to 0.


=item B<delay>

Set a delay, in seconds. The input audio is analyzed immediately, but audio is
delayed before being fed to the volume adjuster. Specifying a delay
approximately equal to the attack/decay times allows the filter to effectively
operate in predictive rather than reactive mode. It defaults to 0.

=head2 compensationdelay


Compensation Delay Line is a metric based delay to compensate differing
positions of microphones or speakers.

For example, you have recorded guitar with two microphones placed in
different locations. Because the front of sound wave has fixed speed in
normal conditions, the phasing of microphones can vary and depends on
their location and interposition. The best sound mix can be achieved when
these microphones are in phase (synchronized). Note that a distance of
~30 cm between microphones makes one microphone capture the signal in
antiphase to the other microphone. That makes the final mix sound moody.
This filter helps to solve phasing problems by adding different delays
to each microphone track and make them synchronized.

The best result can be reached when you take one track as base and
synchronize other tracks one by one with it.
Remember that synchronization/delay tolerance depends on sample rate, too.
Higher sample rates will give more tolerance.

The filter accepts the following parameters:


=over 4

=head2 dynaudnorm

Dynamic Audio Normalizer.

This filter applies a certain amount of gain to the input audio in order
to bring its peak magnitude to a target level (e.g. 0 dBFS). However, in
contrast to more "simple" normalization algorithms, the Dynamic Audio
Normalizer *dynamically* re-adjusts the gain factor to the input audio.
This allows for applying extra gain to the "quiet" sections of the audio
while avoiding distortions or clipping the "loud" sections. In other words:
The Dynamic Audio Normalizer will "even out" the volume of quiet and loud
sections, in the sense that the volume of each section is brought to the
same target level. Note, however, that the Dynamic Audio Normalizer achieves
this goal *without* applying "dynamic range compressing". It will retain 100%
of the dynamic range *within* each section of the audio file.


=over 4


=item B<framelen, f>

Set the frame length in milliseconds. In range from 10 to 8000 milliseconds.
Default is 500 milliseconds.
The Dynamic Audio Normalizer processes the input audio in small chunks,
referred to as frames. This is required, because a peak magnitude has no
meaning for just a single sample value. Instead, we need to determine the
peak magnitude for a contiguous sequence of sample values. While a "standard"
normalizer would simply use the peak magnitude of the complete file, the
Dynamic Audio Normalizer determines the peak magnitude individually for each
frame. The length of a frame is specified in milliseconds. By default, the
Dynamic Audio Normalizer uses a frame length of 500 milliseconds, which has
been found to give good results with most files.
Note that the exact frame length, in number of samples, will be determined
automatically, based on the sampling rate of the individual input audio file.


=item B<gausssize, g>

Set the Gaussian filter window size. In range from 3 to 301, must be odd
number. Default is 31.
Probably the most important parameter of the Dynamic Audio Normalizer is the
C<window size> of the Gaussian smoothing filter. The filter's window size
is specified in frames, centered around the current frame. For the sake of
simplicity, this must be an odd number. Consequently, the default value of 31
takes into account the current frame, as well as the 15 preceding frames and
the 15 subsequent frames. Using a larger window results in a stronger
smoothing effect and thus in less gain variation, i.e. slower gain
adaptation. Conversely, using a smaller window results in a weaker smoothing
effect and thus in more gain variation, i.e. faster gain adaptation.
In other words, the more you increase this value, the more the Dynamic Audio
Normalizer will behave like a "traditional" normalization filter. On the
contrary, the more you decrease this value, the more the Dynamic Audio
Normalizer will behave like a dynamic range compressor.


=item B<peak, p>

Set the target peak value. This specifies the highest permissible magnitude
level for the normalized audio input. This filter will try to approach the
target peak magnitude as closely as possible, but at the same time it also
makes sure that the normalized signal will never exceed the peak magnitude.
A frame's maximum local gain factor is imposed directly by the target peak
magnitude. The default value is 0.95 and thus leaves a headroom of 5%*.
It is not recommended to go above this value.


=item B<maxgain, m>

Set the maximum gain factor. In range from 1.0 to 100.0. Default is 10.0.
The Dynamic Audio Normalizer determines the maximum possible (local) gain
factor for each input frame, i.e. the maximum gain factor that does not
result in clipping or distortion. The maximum gain factor is determined by
the frame's highest magnitude sample. However, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer
additionally bounds the frame's maximum gain factor by a predetermined
(global) maximum gain factor. This is done in order to avoid excessive gain
factors in "silent" or almost silent frames. By default, the maximum gain
factor is 10.0, For most inputs the default value should be sufficient and
it usually is not recommended to increase this value. Though, for input
with an extremely low overall volume level, it may be necessary to allow even
higher gain factors. Note, however, that the Dynamic Audio Normalizer does
not simply apply a "hard" threshold (i.e. cut off values above the threshold).
Instead, a "sigmoid" threshold function will be applied. This way, the
gain factors will smoothly approach the threshold value, but never exceed that
value.


=item B<targetrms, r>

Set the target RMS. In range from 0.0 to 1.0. Default is 0.0 - disabled.
By default, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer performs "peak" normalization.
This means that the maximum local gain factor for each frame is defined
(only) by the frame's highest magnitude sample. This way, the samples can
be amplified as much as possible without exceeding the maximum signal
level, i.e. without clipping. Optionally, however, the Dynamic Audio
Normalizer can also take into account the frame's root mean square,
abbreviated RMS. In electrical engineering, the RMS is commonly used to
determine the power of a time-varying signal. It is therefore considered
that the RMS is a better approximation of the "perceived loudness" than
just looking at the signal's peak magnitude. Consequently, by adjusting all
frames to a constant RMS value, a uniform "perceived loudness" can be
established. If a target RMS value has been specified, a frame's local gain
factor is defined as the factor that would result in exactly that RMS value.
Note, however, that the maximum local gain factor is still restricted by the
frame's highest magnitude sample, in order to prevent clipping.


=item B<coupling, n>

Enable channels coupling. By default is enabled.
By default, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer will amplify all channels by the same
amount. This means the same gain factor will be applied to all channels, i.e.
the maximum possible gain factor is determined by the "loudest" channel.
However, in some recordings, it may happen that the volume of the different
channels is uneven, e.g. one channel may be "quieter" than the other one(s).
In this case, this option can be used to disable the channel coupling. This way,
the gain factor will be determined independently for each channel, depending
only on the individual channel's highest magnitude sample. This allows for
harmonizing the volume of the different channels.


=item B<correctdc, c>

Enable DC bias correction. By default is disabled.
An audio signal (in the time domain) is a sequence of sample values.
In the Dynamic Audio Normalizer these sample values are represented in the
-1.0 to 1.0 range, regardless of the original input format. Normally, the
audio signal, or "waveform", should be centered around the zero point.
That means if we calculate the mean value of all samples in a file, or in a
single frame, then the result should be 0.0 or at least very close to that
value. If, however, there is a significant deviation of the mean value from
0.0, in either positive or negative direction, this is referred to as a
DC bias or DC offset. Since a DC bias is clearly undesirable, the Dynamic
Audio Normalizer provides optional DC bias correction.
With DC bias correction enabled, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer will determine
the mean value, or "DC correction" offset, of each input frame and subtract
that value from all of the frame's sample values which ensures those samples
are centered around 0.0 again. Also, in order to avoid "gaps" at the frame
boundaries, the DC correction offset values will be interpolated smoothly
between neighbouring frames.


=item B<altboundary, b>

Enable alternative boundary mode. By default is disabled.
The Dynamic Audio Normalizer takes into account a certain neighbourhood
around each frame. This includes the preceding frames as well as the
subsequent frames. However, for the "boundary" frames, located at the very
beginning and at the very end of the audio file, not all neighbouring
frames are available. In particular, for the first few frames in the audio
file, the preceding frames are not known. And, similarly, for the last few
frames in the audio file, the subsequent frames are not known. Thus, the
question arises which gain factors should be assumed for the missing frames
in the "boundary" region. The Dynamic Audio Normalizer implements two modes
to deal with this situation. The default boundary mode assumes a gain factor
of exactly 1.0 for the missing frames, resulting in a smooth "fade in" and
"fade out" at the beginning and at the end of the input, respectively.


=item B<compress, s>

Set the compress factor. In range from 0.0 to 30.0. Default is 0.0.
By default, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer does not apply "traditional"
compression. This means that signal peaks will not be pruned and thus the
full dynamic range will be retained within each local neighbourhood. However,
in some cases it may be desirable to combine the Dynamic Audio Normalizer's
normalization algorithm with a more "traditional" compression.
For this purpose, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer provides an optional compression
(thresholding) function. If (and only if) the compression feature is enabled,
all input frames will be processed by a soft knee thresholding function prior
to the actual normalization process. Put simply, the thresholding function is
going to prune all samples whose magnitude exceeds a certain threshold value.
However, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer does not simply apply a fixed threshold
value. Instead, the threshold value will be adjusted for each individual
frame.
In general, smaller parameters result in stronger compression, and vice versa.
Values below 3.0 are not recommended, because audible distortion may appear.


=item B<threshold, t>

Set the target threshold value. This specifies the lowest permissible
magnitude level for the audio input which will be normalized.
If input frame volume is above this value frame will be normalized.
Otherwise frame may not be normalized at all. The default value is set
to 0, which means all input frames will be normalized.
This option is mostly useful if digital noise is not wanted to be amplified.


=item B<channels, h>

Specify which channels to filter, by default all available channels are filtered.


=item B<overlap, o>

Specify overlap for frames. If set to 0 (default) no frame overlapping is done.
Using E<gt>0 and E<lt>1 values will make less conservative gain adjustments, like
when framelen option is set to smaller value, if framelen option value is
compensated for non-zero overlap then gain adjustments will be smoother across time
compared to zero overlap case.


=item B<curve, v>

Specify the peak mapping curve expression which is going to be used when calculating
gain applied to frames. The max output frame gain will still be limited by other
options mentioned previously for this filter.

The expression can contain the following constants:

=head2 join


Join multiple input streams into one multi-channel stream.

It accepts the following parameters:

=over 4



=item B<inputs>

The number of input streams. It defaults to 2.


=item B<channel_layout>

The desired output channel layout. It defaults to stereo.


=item B<map>

Map channels from inputs to output. The argument is a '|'-separated list of
mappings, each in the C<I<input_idx>.I<in_channel>-I<out_channel>>
form. I<input_idx> is the 0-based index of the input stream. I<in_channel>
can be either the name of the input channel (e.g. FL for front left) or its
index in the specified input stream. I<out_channel> is the name of the output
channel.

=back


The filter will attempt to guess the mappings when they are not specified
explicitly. It does so by first trying to find an unused matching input channel
and if that fails it picks the first unused input channel.

Join 3 inputs (with properly set channel layouts):
	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT1 -i INPUT2 -i INPUT3 -filter_complex join=inputs=3 OUTPUT


Build a 5.1 output from 6 single-channel streams:
	
	ffmpeg -i fl -i fr -i fc -i sl -i sr -i lfe -filter_complex
	'join=inputs=6:channel_layout=5.1:map=0.0-FL|1.0-FR|2.0-FC|3.0-SL|4.0-SR|5.0-LFE'
	out



=head2 ladspa

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with
C<--enable-ladspa>.


=over 4


=item B<file, f>

Specifies the name of LADSPA plugin library to load. If the environment
variable B<LADSPA_PATH> is defined, the LADSPA plugin is searched in
each one of the directories specified by the colon separated list in
B<LADSPA_PATH>, otherwise in the standard LADSPA paths, which are in
this order: F<HOME/.ladspa/lib/>, F</usr/local/lib/ladspa/>,
F</usr/lib/ladspa/>.


=item B<plugin, p>

Specifies the plugin within the library. Some libraries contain only
one plugin, but others contain many of them. If this is not set filter
will list all available plugins within the specified library.


=item B<controls, c>

Set the '|' separated list of controls which are zero or more floating point
values that determine the behavior of the loaded plugin (for example delay,
threshold or gain).
Controls need to be defined using the following syntax:
c0=I<value0>|c1=I<value1>|c2=I<value2>|..., where
I<valuei> is the value set on the I<i>-th control.
Alternatively they can be also defined using the following syntax:
I<value0>|I<value1>|I<value2>|..., where
I<valuei> is the value set on the I<i>-th control.
If B<controls> is set to C<help>, all available controls and
their valid ranges are printed.


=item B<sample_rate, s>

Specify the sample rate, default to 44100. Only used if plugin have
zero inputs.


=item B<nb_samples, n>

Set the number of samples per channel per each output frame, default

=item B<duration, d>

Set the minimum duration of the sourced audio. See
B<the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual>
for the accepted syntax.
Note that the resulting duration may be greater than the specified duration,
as the generated audio is always cut at the end of a complete frame.
If not specified, or the expressed duration is negative, the audio is
supposed to be generated forever.
Only used if plugin have zero inputs.


=item B<latency, l>

Enable latency compensation, by default is disabled.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<I, i>

Set integrated loudness target.
Range is -70.0 - -5.0. Default value is -24.0.

Set loudness range target.
Range is 1.0 - 50.0. Default value is 7.0.


=item B<TP, tp>

Set maximum true peak.
Range is -9.0 - +0.0. Default value is -2.0.


=item B<measured_I, measured_i>

=item B<linear>

Normalize by linearly scaling the source audio.
C<measured_I>, C<measured_LRA>, C<measured_TP>,
and C<measured_thresh> must all be specified. Target LRA shouldn't
be lower than source LRA and the change in integrated loudness shouldn't
result in a true peak which exceeds the target TP. If any of these
conditions aren't met, normalization mode will revert to I<dynamic>.
Options are C<true> or C<false>. Default is C<true>.


=item B<dual_mono>

Treat mono input files as "dual-mono". If a mono file is intended for playback
on a stereo system, its EBU R128 measurement will be perceptually incorrect.

=head3 Commands


This filter supports all options that are exported by plugin as commands.


=head2 mcompand

Multiband Compress or expand the audio's dynamic range.

The input audio is divided into bands using 4th order Linkwitz-Riley IIRs.
This is akin to the crossover of a loudspeaker, and results in flat frequency
response when absent compander action.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4


=item B<args>

This option syntax is:
attack,decay,[attack,decay..] soft-knee points crossover_frequency [delay [initial_volume [gain]]] | attack,decay ...
For explanation of each item refer to compand filter documentation.

=back




=head2 pan


Mix channels with specific gain levels. The filter accepts the output
channel layout followed by a set of channels definitions.

This filter is also designed to efficiently remap the channels of an audio
stream.

The filter accepts parameters of the form:
"I<l>|I<outdef>|I<outdef>|..."


=over 4


=item B<l>

output channel layout or number of channels


=item B<outdef>

output channel specification, of the form:
"I<out_name>=[I<gain>*]I<in_name>[(+-)[I<gain>*]I<in_name>...]"


=item B<out_name>

output channel to define, either a channel name (FL, FR, etc.) or a channel
number (c0, c1, etc.)


=item B<gain>

multiplicative coefficient for the channel, 1 leaving the volume unchanged


=item B<in_name>

input channel to use, see out_name for details; it is not possible to mix
named and numbered input channels

=back


If the `=' in a channel specification is replaced by `E<lt>', then the gains for
that specification will be renormalized so that the total is 1, thus
avoiding clipping noise.


=head3 Mixing examples


For example, if you want to down-mix from stereo to mono, but with a bigger
factor for the left channel:
	
	pan=1c|c0=0.9*c0+0.1*c1


A customized down-mix to stereo that works automatically for 3-, 4-, 5- and
7-channels surround:
	
	pan=stereo| FL < FL + 0.5*FC + 0.6*BL + 0.6*SL | FR < FR + 0.5*FC + 0.6*BR + 0.6*SR


Note that B<ffmpeg> integrates a default down-mix (and up-mix) system
that should be preferred (see "-ac" option) unless you have very specific
needs.


=head3 Remapping examples


The channel remapping will be effective if, and only if:


=over 4


=item *<gain coefficients are zeroes or ones,>


=item *<only one input per channel output,>


=back


If all these conditions are satisfied, the filter will notify the user ("Pure
channel mapping detected"), and use an optimized and lossless method to do the
remapping.

For example, if you have a 5.1 source and want a stereo audio stream by
dropping the extra channels:
	
	pan="stereo| c0=FL | c1=FR"


Given the same source, you can also switch front left and front right channels
and keep the input channel layout:
	
	pan="5.1| c0=c1 | c1=c0 | c2=c2 | c3=c3 | c4=c4 | c5=c5"


If the input is a stereo audio stream, you can mute the front left channel (and
still keep the stereo channel layout) with:
	
	pan="stereo|c1=c1"


Still with a stereo audio stream input, you can copy the right channel in both
front left and right:
	
	pan="stereo| c0=FR | c1=FR"



=head2 replaygain


ReplayGain scanner filter. This filter takes an audio stream as an input and
outputs it unchanged.

=head2 sidechaincompress


This filter acts like normal compressor but has the ability to compress
detected signal using second input signal.
It needs two input streams and returns one output stream.
First input stream will be processed depending on second stream signal.
The filtered signal then can be filtered with other filters in later stages of
processing. See B<pan> and B<amerge> filter.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<level_in>

Set input gain. Default is 1. Range is between 0.015625 and 64.


=item B<mode>

Set mode of compressor operation. Can be C<upward> or C<downward>.
Default is C<downward>.


=item B<threshold>

If a signal of second stream raises above this level it will affect the gain
reduction of first stream.
By default is 0.125. Range is between 0.00097563 and 1.


=item B<ratio>

Set a ratio about which the signal is reduced. 1:2 means that if the level
raised 4dB above the threshold, it will be only 2dB above after the reduction.
Default is 2. Range is between 1 and 20.


=item B<attack>

Amount of milliseconds the signal has to rise above the threshold before gain
reduction starts. Default is 20. Range is between 0.01 and 2000.


=item B<release>

=head2 sidechaingate


A sidechain gate acts like a normal (wideband) gate but has the ability to
filter the detected signal before sending it to the gain reduction stage.
Normally a gate uses the full range signal to detect a level above the
threshold.
For example: If you cut all lower frequencies from your sidechain signal
the gate will decrease the volume of your track only if not enough highs
appear. With this technique you are able to reduce the resonation of a
natural drum or remove "rumbling" of muted strokes from a heavily distorted
guitar.
It needs two input streams and returns one output stream.
First input stream will be processed depending on second stream signal.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<level_in>

Set input level before filtering.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 0.015625 to 64.


=item B<mode>

Set the mode of operation. Can be C<upward> or C<downward>.
Default is C<downward>. If set to C<upward> mode, higher parts of signal
will be amplified, expanding dynamic range in upward direction.
Otherwise, in case of C<downward> lower parts of signal will be reduced.


=item B<range>

Set the level of gain reduction when the signal is below the threshold.
Default is 0.06125. Allowed range is from 0 to 1.
Setting this to 0 disables reduction and then filter behaves like expander.


=item B<threshold>

If a signal rises above this level the gain reduction is released.
Default is 0.125. Allowed range is from 0 to 1.


=item B<ratio>

Set a ratio about which the signal is reduced.
Default is 2. Allowed range is from 1 to 9000.


=item B<attack>

reduction stops.
Default is 20 milliseconds. Allowed range is from 0.01 to 9000.


=item B<release>

Amount of milliseconds the signal has to fall below the threshold before the
reduction is increased again. Default is 250 milliseconds.
Allowed range is from 0.01 to 9000.


=item B<makeup>

Set amount of amplification of signal after processing.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 1 to 64.


=item B<knee>

Curve the sharp knee around the threshold to enter gain reduction more softly.
Default is 2.828427125. Allowed range is from 1 to 8.


=item B<detection>

Choose if exact signal should be taken for detection or an RMS like one.
Default is rms. Can be peak or rms.


=item B<link>

Choose if the average level between all channels or the louder channel affects
the reduction.
Default is average. Can be average or maximum.


=item B<level_sc>

Set sidechain gain. Default is 1. Range is from 0.015625 to 64.

=head3 Commands


This filter supports the all above options as B<commands>.


=head2 silencedetect


Detect silence in an audio stream.

This filter logs a message when it detects that the input audio volume is less
or equal to a noise tolerance value for a duration greater or equal to the
minimum detected noise duration.

The printed times and duration are expressed in seconds. The
C<lavfi.silence_start> or C<lavfi.silence_start.X> metadata key
is set on the first frame whose timestamp equals or exceeds the detection
duration and it contains the timestamp of the first frame of the silence.

The C<lavfi.silence_duration> or C<lavfi.silence_duration.X>
and C<lavfi.silence_end> or C<lavfi.silence_end.X> metadata
keys are set on the first frame after the silence. If B<mono> is
enabled, and each channel is evaluated separately, the C<.X>
suffixed keys are used, and C<X> corresponds to the channel number.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<noise, n>

Set noise tolerance. Can be specified in dB (in case "dB" is appended to the
specified value) or amplitude ratio. Default is -60dB, or 0.001.


=item B<duration, d>

Set silence duration until notification (default is 2 seconds). See
B<the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual>
for the accepted syntax.

=head2 silenceremove


Remove silence from the beginning, middle or end of the audio.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<start_periods>

This value is used to indicate if audio should be trimmed at beginning of
the audio. A value of zero indicates no silence should be trimmed from the
beginning. When specifying a non-zero value, it trims audio up until it
finds non-silence. Normally, when trimming silence from beginning of audio
the I<start_periods> will be C<1> but it can be increased to higher
values to trim all audio up to specific count of non-silence periods.
Default value is C<0>.


=item B<start_duration>

Specify the amount of time that non-silence must be detected before it stops
trimming audio. By increasing the duration, bursts of noises can be treated
as silence and trimmed off. Default value is C<0>.


=item B<start_threshold>

This indicates what sample value should be treated as silence. For digital
audio, a value of C<0> may be fine but for audio recorded from analog,
you may wish to increase the value to account for background noise.
Can be specified in dB (in case "dB" is appended to the specified value)
or amplitude ratio. Default value is C<0>.


=item B<start_silence>

Specify max duration of silence at beginning that will be kept after
trimming. Default is 0, which is equal to trimming all samples detected
as silence.


=item B<start_mode>

Specify mode of detection of silence end at start of multi-channel audio.
Can be I<any> or I<all>. Default is I<any>.
With I<any>, any sample from any channel that is detected as non-silence
will trigger end of silence trimming at start of audio stream.
With I<all>, only if every sample from every channel is detected as non-silence
will trigger end of silence trimming at start of audio stream, limited usage.


=item B<stop_periods>

Set the count for trimming silence from the end of audio. When specifying a
positive value, it trims audio after it finds specified silence period.
To remove silence from the middle of a file, specify a I<stop_periods>
that is negative. This value is then treated as a positive value and is
used to indicate the effect should restart processing as specified by
I<stop_periods>, making it suitable for removing periods of silence
in the middle of the audio.
Default value is C<0>.


=item B<stop_duration>

Specify a duration of silence that must exist before audio is not copied any
more. By specifying a higher duration, silence that is wanted can be left in
the audio.
Default value is C<0>.


=item B<stop_threshold>

This is the same as B<start_threshold> but for trimming silence from
the end of audio.
Can be specified in dB (in case "dB" is appended to the specified value)
or amplitude ratio. Default value is C<0>.


=item B<stop_silence>

Specify max duration of silence at end that will be kept after
trimming. Default is 0, which is equal to trimming all samples detected
as silence.


=item B<stop_mode>

Specify mode of detection of silence start after start of multi-channel audio.
Can be I<any> or I<all>. Default is I<all>.
With I<any>, any sample from any channel that is detected as silence
will trigger start of silence trimming after start of audio stream, limited usage.
With I<all>, only if every sample from every channel is detected as silence
will trigger start of silence trimming after start of audio stream.


=item B<detection>

=item B<dev>

Standard deviation of values of samples in moving window.

=back

Default value is C<rms>.


=item B<window>

Set duration in number of seconds used to calculate size of window in number
of samples for detecting silence. Using C<0> will effectively disable
any windowing and use only single sample per channel for silence detection.
In that case it may be needed to also set B<start_silence> and/or
B<stop_silence> to nonzero values with also B<start_duration> and/or
B<stop_duration> to nonzero values.
Default value is C<0.02>. Allowed range is from C<0> to C<10>.


=item B<timestamp>

Set processing mode of every audio frame output timestamp.

=head2 speechnorm

Speech Normalizer.

This filter expands or compresses each half-cycle of audio samples
(local set of samples all above or all below zero and between two nearest zero crossings) depending
on threshold value, so audio reaches target peak value under conditions controlled by below options.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<peak, p>

Set the expansion target peak value. This specifies the highest allowed absolute amplitude
level for the normalized audio input. Default value is 0.95. Allowed range is from 0.0 to 1.0.


=item B<expansion, e>

Set the maximum expansion factor. Allowed range is from 1.0 to 50.0. Default value is 2.0.
This option controls maximum local half-cycle of samples expansion. The maximum expansion
would be such that local peak value reaches target peak value but never to surpass it and that
ratio between new and previous peak value does not surpass this option value.


=item B<compression, c>

Set the maximum compression factor. Allowed range is from 1.0 to 50.0. Default value is 2.0.
This option controls maximum local half-cycle of samples compression. This option is used
only if B<threshold> option is set to value greater than 0.0, then in such cases
when local peak is lower or same as value set by B<threshold> all samples belonging to
that peak's half-cycle will be compressed by current compression factor.


=item B<threshold, t>

Set the threshold value. Default value is 0.0. Allowed range is from 0.0 to 1.0.
This option specifies which half-cycles of samples will be compressed and which will be expanded.
Any half-cycle samples with their local peak value below or same as this option value will be
compressed by current compression factor, otherwise, if greater than threshold value they will be
expanded with expansion factor so that it could reach peak target value but never surpass it.


=item B<raise, r>

Set the expansion raising amount per each half-cycle of samples. Default value is 0.001.
Allowed range is from 0.0 to 1.0. This controls how fast expansion factor is raised per
each new half-cycle until it reaches B<expansion> value.
Setting this options too high may lead to distortions.


=item B<fall, f>

Set the compression raising amount per each half-cycle of samples. Default value is 0.001.
Allowed range is from 0.0 to 1.0. This controls how fast compression factor is raised per
each new half-cycle until it reaches B<compression> value.


=item B<channels, h>

Specify which channels to filter, by default all available channels are filtered.


=item B<invert, i>

Enable inverted filtering, by default is disabled. This inverts interpretation of B<threshold>
option. When enabled any half-cycle of samples with their local peak value below or same as
B<threshold> option will be expanded otherwise it will be compressed.


=item B<link, l>

Link channels when calculating gain applied to each filtered channel sample, by default is disabled.
When disabled each filtered channel gain calculation is independent, otherwise when this option
is enabled the minimum of all possible gains for each filtered channel is used.


=item B<rms, m>

Set the expansion target RMS value. This specifies the highest allowed RMS level for the normalized
audio input. Default value is 0.0, thus disabled. Allowed range is from 0.0 to 1.0.

	volume=volume=0.5
	volume=volume=1/2
	volume=volume=-6.0206dB


In all the above example the named key for B<volume> can be

=back



=head2 volumedetect


Detect the volume of the input video.

The filter has no parameters. It supports only 16-bit signed integer samples,
so the input will be converted when needed. Statistics about the volume will
be printed in the log when the input stream end is reached.

In particular it will show the mean volume (root mean square), maximum
volume (on a per-sample basis), and the beginning of a histogram of the
registered volume values (from the maximum value to a cumulated 1/1000 of
the samples).

All volumes are in decibels relative to the maximum PCM value.


=head3 Examples


Here is an excerpt of the output:
	
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] mean_volume: -27 dB
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] max_volume: -4 dB
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_4db: 6
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_5db: 62
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_6db: 286
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_7db: 1042
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_8db: 2551
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_9db: 4609
	[Parsed_volumedetect_0  0xa23120] histogram_10db: 8409


It means that:

=over 4


=item *

The mean square energy is approximately -27 dB, or 10^-2.7.

=item *

The largest sample is at -4 dB, or more precisely between -4 dB and -5 dB.

=item *

There are 6 samples at -4 dB, 62 at -5 dB, 286 at -6 dB, etc.

=back


In other words, raising the volume by +4 dB does not cause any clipping,
raising it by +5 dB causes clipping for 6 samples, etc.

When you configure your FFmpeg build, you can disable any of the
existing filters using C<--disable-filters>.
The configure output will show the video filters included in your

Below is a description of the currently available video filters.


=head2 addroi


Mark a region of interest in a video frame.

The frame data is passed through unchanged, but metadata is attached
to the frame indicating regions of interest which can affect the
behaviour of later encoding.  Multiple regions can be marked by
applying the filter multiple times.


=over 4


=item B<x>

Region distance in pixels from the left edge of the frame.

=item B<y>

Region distance in pixels from the top edge of the frame.

=item B<w>

Region width in pixels.

=item B<h>

Region height in pixels.

The parameters I<x>, I<y>, I<w> and I<h> are expressions,
and may contain the following variables:

=over 4


=item B<iw>

Width of the input frame.

=item B<ih>

Height of the input frame.

=back



=item B<qoffset>

Quantisation offset to apply within the region.

This must be a real value in the range -1 to +1.  A value of zero
indicates no quality change.  A negative value asks for better quality
(less quantisation), while a positive value asks for worse quality
(greater quantisation).

The range is calibrated so that the extreme values indicate the
largest possible offset - if the rest of the frame is encoded with the
worst possible quality, an offset of -1 indicates that this region
should be encoded with the best possible quality anyway.  Intermediate
values are then interpolated in some codec-dependent way.

For example, in 10-bit H.264 the quantisation parameter varies between
-12 and 51.  A typical qoffset value of -1/10 therefore indicates that
this region should be encoded with a QP around one-tenth of the full
range better than the rest of the frame.  So, if most of the frame
were to be encoded with a QP of around 30, this region would get a QP
of around 24 (an offset of approximately -1/10 * (51 - -12) = -6.3).
An extreme value of -1 would indicate that this region should be
encoded with the best possible quality regardless of the treatment of
the rest of the frame - that is, should be encoded at a QP of -12.

=item B<clear>

If set to true, remove any existing regions of interest marked on the
frame before adding the new one.

=head2 blackdetect


Detect video intervals that are (almost) completely black. Can be
useful to detect chapter transitions, commercials, or invalid
recordings.

The filter outputs its detection analysis to both the log as well as
frame metadata. If a black segment of at least the specified minimum
duration is found, a line with the start and end timestamps as well
as duration is printed to the log with level C<info>. In addition,
a log line with level C<debug> is printed per frame showing the
black amount detected for that frame.

The filter also attaches metadata to the first frame of a black
segment with key C<lavfi.black_start> and to the first frame
after the black segment ends with key C<lavfi.black_end>. The
value is the frame's timestamp. This metadata is added regardless
of the minimum duration specified.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<black_min_duration, d>

Set the minimum detected black duration expressed in seconds. It must
be a non-negative floating point number.

Default value is 2.0.

for which a picture is considered black.
Default value is 0.98.


=item B<pixel_black_th, pix_th>

Set the threshold for considering a pixel "black".

The threshold expresses the maximum pixel luma value for which a
pixel is considered "black". The provided value is scaled according to
the following equation:
	
	<absolute_threshold> = <luma_minimum_value> + <pixel_black_th> * <luma_range_size>


I<luma_range_size> and I<luma_minimum_value> depend on
the input video format, the range is [0-255] for YUV full-range
formats and [16-235] for YUV non full-range formats.

Default value is 0.10.

=back


The following example sets the maximum pixel threshold to the minimum
value, and detects only black intervals of 2 or more seconds:
	
	blackdetect=d=2:pix_th=0.00



=head2 blackframe


Detect frames that are (almost) completely black. Can be useful to
detect chapter transitions or commercials. Output lines consist of
the frame number of the detected frame, the percentage of blackness,
the position in the file if known or -1 and the timestamp in seconds.

In order to display the output lines, you need to set the loglevel at
least to the AV_LOG_INFO value.

The filter converts the transfer characteristics, color space and color
primaries to the specified user values. The output value, if not specified,
is set to a default value based on the "all" property. If that property is
also not specified, the filter will log an error. The output color range and
format default to the same value as the input color range and format. The
input transfer characteristics, color space, color primaries and color range
should be set on the input data. If any of these are missing, the filter will
log an error and no conversion will take place.

=head2 coreimage

Video filtering on GPU using Apple's CoreImage API on OSX.

Hardware acceleration is based on an OpenGL context. Usually, this means it is
processed by video hardware. However, software-based OpenGL implementations
exist which means there is no guarantee for hardware processing. It depends on
the respective OSX.

There are many filters and image generators provided by Apple that come with a
large variety of options. The filter has to be referenced by its name along
with its options.

The coreimage filter accepts the following options:

=over 4


=item B<list_filters>

List all available filters and generators along with all their respective
options as well as possible minimum and maximum values along with the default
values.
	
	list_filters=true



=item B<filter>

Specify all filters by their respective name and options.
Use I<list_filters> to determine all valid filter names and options.
Numerical options are specified by a float value and are automatically clamped
to their respective value range.  Vector and color options have to be specified
by a list of space separated float values. Character escaping has to be done.
A special option name C<default> is available to use default options for a
filter.

It is required to specify either C<default> or at least one of the filter options.
All omitted options are used with their default values.
The syntax of the filter string is as follows:
	
	filter=<NAME>@<OPTION>=<VALUE>[@<OPTION>=<VALUE>][@...][#<NAME>@<OPTION>=<VALUE>[@<OPTION>=<VALUE>][@...]][#...]



=item B<output_rect>

Specify a rectangle where the output of the filter chain is copied into the
input image. It is given by a list of space separated float values:
	
	output_rect=x\ y\ width\ height

If not given, the output rectangle equals the dimensions of the input image.
The output rectangle is automatically cropped at the borders of the input
image. Negative values are valid for each component.
	
	output_rect=25\ 25\ 100\ 100


=back


Several filters can be chained for successive processing without GPU-HOST
transfers allowing for fast processing of complex filter chains.
Currently, only filters with zero (generators) or exactly one (filters) input
image and one output image are supported. Also, transition filters are not yet
usable as intended.

Some filters generate output images with additional padding depending on the
respective filter kernel. The padding is automatically removed to ensure the
filter output has the same size as the input image.

For image generators, the size of the output image is determined by the
previous output image of the filter chain or the input image of the whole
filterchain, respectively. The generators do not use the pixel information of
this image to generate their output. However, the generated output is
blended onto this image, resulting in partial or complete coverage of the
output image.

The B<coreimagesrc> video source can be used for generating input images
which are directly fed into the filter chain. By using it, providing input
images by another video source or an input video is not required.

=back



=head2 corr


Obtain the correlation between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

Both input videos must have the same resolution and pixel format for
this filter to work correctly. Also it assumes that both inputs
have the same number of frames, which are compared one by one.

The obtained per component, average, min and max correlation is printed through
the logging system.

The filter stores the calculated correlation of each frame in frame metadata.

This filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

In the below example the input file F<main.mpg> being processed is compared
with the reference file F<ref.mpg>.

	
	ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi corr -f null -

=head2 crop


Crop the input video to given dimensions.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4


=item B<w, out_w>

This expression is evaluated only once during the filter
configuration, or when the B<w> or B<out_w> command is sent.


=item B<h, out_h>

The height of the output video. It defaults to C<ih>.
This expression is evaluated only once during the filter
configuration, or when the B<h> or B<out_h> command is sent.


=item B<x>

The horizontal position, in the input video, of the left edge of the output
video. It defaults to C<(in_w-out_w)/2>.
This expression is evaluated per-frame.


=item B<y>

The vertical position, in the input video, of the top edge of the output video.
It defaults to C<(in_h-out_h)/2>.
This expression is evaluated per-frame.


=item B<keep_aspect>

If set to 1 will force the output display aspect ratio
to be the same of the input, by changing the output sample aspect
ratio. It defaults to 0.


=item B<exact>

Enable exact cropping. If enabled, subsampled videos will be cropped at exact
width/height/x/y as specified and will not be rounded to nearest smaller value.
It defaults to 0.

=back


The I<out_w>, I<out_h>, I<x>, I<y> parameters are
expressions containing the following constants:


=over 4

=item B<y>

The computed values for I<x> and I<y>. They are evaluated for
each new frame.


=item B<in_w>


=item B<in_h>

=item B<pos>

the position in the file of the input frame, NAN if unknown; deprecated,
do not use


=item B<t>

=back


The expression for I<out_w> may depend on the value of I<out_h>,
and the expression for I<out_h> may depend on I<out_w>, but they
cannot depend on I<x> and I<y>, as I<x> and I<y> are
evaluated after I<out_w> and I<out_h>.

The I<x> and I<y> parameters specify the expressions for the
position of the top-left corner of the output (non-cropped) area. They
are evaluated for each frame. If the evaluated value is not valid, it
is approximated to the nearest valid value.

The expression for I<x> may depend on I<y>, and the expression
for I<y> may depend on I<x>.

recommended parameters via the logging system. The detected dimensions
correspond to the non-black or video area of the input video according to I<mode>.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<mode>

Depending on I<mode> crop detection is based on either the mere black value of surrounding pixels or a combination of motion vectors and edge pixels.


=over 4


=item B<black>

Detect black pixels surrounding the playing video. For fine control use option I<limit>.


=item B<mvedges>

=back



=item B<limit>

Set higher black value threshold, which can be optionally specified
from nothing (0) to everything (255 for 8-bit based formats). An intensity
value greater to the set value is considered non-black. It defaults to 24.
You can also specify a value between 0.0 and 1.0 which will be scaled depending
on the bitdepth of the pixel format.


=item B<round>

The value which the width/height should be divisible by. It defaults to
16. The offset is automatically adjusted to center the video. Use 2 to
get only even dimensions (needed for 4:2:2 video). 16 is best when
encoding to most video codecs.


=item B<skip>

Set the number of initial frames for which evaluation is skipped.
Default is 2. Range is 0 to INT_MAX.


=item B<reset_count, reset>

Set the counter that determines after how many frames cropdetect will
reset the previously detected largest video area and start over to
detect the current optimal crop area. Default value is 0.

This can be useful when channel logos distort the video area. 0
indicates 'never reset', and returns the largest area encountered during
playback.


=item B<mv_threshold>

Set motion in pixel units as threshold for motion detection. It defaults to 8.


=item B<low>


=item B<high>

Set low and high threshold values used by the Canny thresholding
algorithm.

The high threshold selects the "strong" edge pixels, which are then
connected through 8-connectivity with the "weak" edge pixels selected
by the low threshold.

I<low> and I<high> threshold values must be chosen in the range
[0,1], and I<low> should be lesser or equal to I<high>.

Default value for I<low> is C<5/255>, and default value for I<high>
is C<15/255>.

=head2 cue


Delay video filtering until a given wallclock timestamp. The filter first
passes on B<preroll> amount of frames, then it buffers at most
B<buffer> amount of frames and waits for the cue. After reaching the cue
it forwards the buffered frames and also any subsequent frames coming in its
input.

The filter can be used synchronize the output of multiple ffmpeg processes for
realtime output devices like decklink. By putting the delay in the filtering
chain and pre-buffering frames the process can pass on data to output almost
immediately after the target wallclock timestamp is reached.

Perfect frame accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but the result is good enough for
some use cases.


=over 4



=item B<cue>

The cue timestamp expressed in a UNIX timestamp in microseconds. Default is 0.


=item B<preroll>

The duration of content to pass on as preroll expressed in seconds. Default is 0.


=item B<buffer>

The maximum duration of content to buffer before waiting for the cue expressed
in seconds. Default is 0.


=back




=head2 curves


Apply color adjustments using curves.

This filter is similar to the Adobe Photoshop and GIMP curves tools. Each
component (red, green and blue) has its values defined by I<N> key points
tied from each other using a smooth curve. The x-axis represents the pixel
values from the input frame, and the y-axis the new pixel values to be set for
the output frame.

By default, a component curve is defined by the two points I<(0;0)> and
I<(1;1)>. This creates a straight line where each original pixel value is
"adjusted" to its own value, which means no change to the image.

The filter allows you to redefine these two points and add some more. A new
curve will be define to pass smoothly through all these new coordinates. The
new defined points needs to be strictly increasing over the x-axis, and their
I<x> and I<y> values must be in the I<[0;1]> interval. The curve is
formed by using a natural or monotonic cubic spline interpolation, depending
on the I<interp> option (default: C<natural>). The C<natural>
spline produces a smoother curve in general while the monotonic (C<pchip>)
spline guarantees the transitions between the specified points to be
monotonic. If the computed curves happened to go outside the vector spaces,
the values will be clipped accordingly.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<preset>

Select one of the available color presets. This option can be used in addition
to the B<r>, B<g>, B<b> parameters; in this case, the later

=item B<vintage>


=back

Default is C<none>.

=item B<master, m>

Set the master key points. These points will define a second pass mapping. It
is sometimes called a "luminance" or "value" mapping. It can be used with
B<r>, B<g>, B<b> or B<all> since it acts like a
post-processing LUT.

=item B<red, r>

Set the key points for the red component.

=item B<green, g>

Set the key points for the green component.

=item B<blue, b>

Set the key points for the blue component.

If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current
value.


=head2 dctdnoiz


Denoise frames using 2D DCT (frequency domain filtering).

This filter is not designed for real time.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<sigma, s>

Set the noise sigma constant.

This I<sigma> defines a hard threshold of C<3 * sigma>; every DCT
coefficient (absolute value) below this threshold with be dropped.

If you need a more advanced filtering, see B<expr>.

Default is C<0>.


=item B<overlap>

Set number overlapping pixels for each block. Since the filter can be slow, you
may want to reduce this value, at the cost of a less effective filter and the
risk of various artefacts.

If the overlapping value doesn't permit processing the whole input width or
height, a warning will be displayed and according borders won't be denoised.

Default value is I<blocksize>-1, which is the best possible setting.


=item B<expr, e>

Set the coefficient factor expression.

For each coefficient of a DCT block, this expression will be evaluated as a
multiplier value for the coefficient.

If this is option is set, the B<sigma> option will be ignored.

The absolute value of the coefficient can be accessed through the I<c>
variable.


=item B<n>

Set the I<blocksize> using the number of bits. C<1E<lt>E<lt>I<n>> defines the
I<blocksize>, which is the width and height of the processed blocks.

The default value is I<3> (8x8) and can be raised to I<4> for a
I<blocksize> of 16x16. Note that changing this setting has huge consequences
on the speed processing. Also, a larger block size does not necessarily means a
better de-noising.

=back



=head3 Examples


Apply a denoise with a B<sigma> of C<4.5>:

random direction from 0 to set direction will be picked. If negative, exact of
absolute value will be picked. For example direction 0, -PI or -2*PI radians
will pick only pixels on same row and -PI/2 will pick only pixels on same
column.


=item B<blur, b>

If enabled, current pixel is compared with average value of all four
surrounding pixels. The default is enabled. If disabled current pixel is
compared with all four surrounding pixels. The pixel is considered banded
if only all four differences with surrounding pixels are less than threshold.

upwards.


=item B<max_glyph_d, descent>

the maximum distance from the baseline to the lowest grid coordinate
used to place a glyph outline point, for all the rendered glyphs.
This is a negative value, due to the grid's orientation, with the Y axis

=back




=head3 Text expansion


If B<expansion> is set to C<strftime>, the filter recognizes
sequences accepted by the C<strftime> C function in the provided
text and expands them accordingly. Check the documentation of
C<strftime>. This feature is deprecated in favor of C<normal>
expansion with the C<gmtime> or C<localtime> expansion
functions.

If B<expansion> is set to C<none>, the text is printed verbatim.

If B<expansion> is set to C<normal> (which is the default),
the following expansion mechanism is used.

The backslash character B<\>, followed by any character, always expands to
the second character.

Sequences of the form C<%{...}> are expanded. The text between the
braces is a function name, possibly followed by arguments separated by ':'.
If the arguments contain special characters or delimiters (':' or '}'),
they should be escaped.

Note that they probably must also be escaped as the value for the B<text>
option in the filter argument string and as the filter argument in the
filtergraph description, and possibly also for the shell, that makes up to four
levels of escaping; using a text file with the B<textfile> option avoids
these problems.

The following functions are available:


=over 4



=item B<expr, e>

The expression evaluation result.

It must take one argument specifying the expression to be evaluated,
which accepts the same constants and functions as the I<x> and
I<y> values. Note that not all constants should be used, for
example the text size is not known when evaluating the expression, so
the constants I<text_w> and I<text_h> will have an undefined
value.


=item B<expr_int_format, eif>

Evaluate the expression's value and output as formatted integer.

The first argument is the expression to be evaluated, just as for the I<expr> function.
The second argument specifies the output format. Allowed values are B<x>,
B<X>, B<d> and B<u>. They are treated exactly as in the
C<printf> function.
The third parameter is optional and sets the number of positions taken by the output.
It can be used to add padding with zeros from the left.


=item B<gmtime>

The time at which the filter is running, expressed in UTC.
It can accept an argument: a C<strftime> C function format string.
The format string is extended to support the variable I<%[1-6]N>
which prints fractions of the second with optionally specified number of digits.


=item B<localtime>

The time at which the filter is running, expressed in the local time zone.
It can accept an argument: a C<strftime> C function format string.
The format string is extended to support the variable I<%[1-6]N>
which prints fractions of the second with optionally specified number of digits.


=item B<metadata>

Frame metadata. Takes one or two arguments.

The first argument is mandatory and specifies the metadata key.

The second argument is optional and specifies a default value, used when the
metadata key is not found or empty.

Available metadata can be identified by inspecting entries
starting with TAG included within each frame section
printed by running C<ffprobe -show_frames>.

String metadata generated in filters leading to
the drawtext filter are also available.


=item B<n, frame_num>

The frame number, starting from 0.


=item B<pict_type>

A one character description of the current picture type.


=item B<pts>

The timestamp of the current frame.
It can take up to three arguments.

The first argument is the format of the timestamp; it defaults to C<flt>
for seconds as a decimal number with microsecond accuracy; C<hms> stands
for a formatted I<[-]HH:MM:SS.mmm> timestamp with millisecond accuracy.
C<gmtime> stands for the timestamp of the frame formatted as UTC time;
C<localtime> stands for the timestamp of the frame formatted as
local time zone time.

The second argument is an offset added to the timestamp.

If the format is set to C<hms>, a third argument C<24HH> may be
supplied to present the hour part of the formatted timestamp in 24h format
(00-23).

If the format is set to C<localtime> or C<gmtime>, a third
argument may be supplied: a C<strftime> C function format string.
By default, I<YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS> format will be used.

=back



=head3 Commands


This filter supports altering parameters via commands:

=over 4


=item B<reinit>

Alter existing filter parameters.

Syntax for the argument is the same as for filter invocation, e.g.

	
	fontsize=56:fontcolor=green:text='Hello World'


Full filter invocation with sendcmd would look like this:

	
	sendcmd=c='56.0 drawtext reinit fontsize=56\:fontcolor=green\:text=Hello\\ World'


If the entire argument can't be parsed or applied as valid values then the filter will
continue with its existing parameters.

=head2 fieldmatch


Field matching filter for inverse telecine. It is meant to reconstruct the
progressive frames from a telecined stream. The filter does not drop duplicated
frames, so to achieve a complete inverse telecine C<fieldmatch> needs to be
followed by a decimation filter such as B<decimate> in the filtergraph.

The separation of the field matching and the decimation is notably motivated by
the possibility of inserting a de-interlacing filter fallback between the two.
If the source has mixed telecined and real interlaced content,
C<fieldmatch> will not be able to match fields for the interlaced parts.
But these remaining combed frames will be marked as interlaced, and thus can be
de-interlaced by a later filter such as B<yadif> before decimation.

In addition to the various configuration options, C<fieldmatch> can take an
optional second stream, activated through the B<ppsrc> option. If
enabled, the frames reconstruction will be based on the fields and frames from
this second stream. This allows the first input to be pre-processed in order to
help the various algorithms of the filter, while keeping the output lossless
(assuming the fields are matched properly). Typically, a field-aware denoiser,
or brightness/contrast adjustments can help.

Note that this filter uses the same algorithms as TIVTC/TFM (AviSynth project)
and VIVTC/VFM (VapourSynth project). The later is a light clone of TFM from
which C<fieldmatch> is based on. While the semantic and usage are very
close, some behaviour and options names can differ.

The B<decimate> filter currently only works for constant frame rate input.
If your input has mixed telecined (30fps) and progressive content with a lower
framerate like 24fps use the following filterchain to produce the necessary cfr
stream: C<dejudder,fps=30000/1001,fieldmatch,decimate>.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<order>

Specify the assumed field order of the input stream. Available values are:


=over 4


=item B<auto>

Auto detect parity (use FFmpeg's internal parity value).

=item B<bff>

Assume bottom field first.

=item B<tff>

Assume top field first.

=back


Note that it is sometimes recommended not to trust the parity announced by the
stream.

Default value is I<auto>.


=item B<mode>

Set the matching mode or strategy to use. B<pc> mode is the safest in the
sense that it won't risk creating jerkiness due to duplicate frames when
possible, but if there are bad edits or blended fields it will end up
outputting combed frames when a good match might actually exist. On the other
hand, B<pcn_ub> mode is the most risky in terms of creating jerkiness,
but will almost always find a good frame if there is one. The other values are
all somewhere in between B<pc> and B<pcn_ub> in terms of risking
jerkiness and creating duplicate frames versus finding good matches in sections
with bad edits, orphaned fields, blended fields, etc.

More details about p/c/n/u/b are available in B<p/c/n/u/b meaning> section.

Available values are:


=over 4


=item B<pc>

2-way matching (p/c)

=item B<pc_n>

2-way matching, and trying 3rd match if still combed (p/c + n)

=item B<pc_u>

2-way matching, and trying 3rd match (same order) if still combed (p/c + u)

=item B<pc_n_ub>

2-way matching, trying 3rd match if still combed, and trying 4th/5th matches if
still combed (p/c + n + u/b)

=item B<pcn>

3-way matching (p/c/n)

=item B<pcn_ub>

3-way matching, and trying 4th/5th matches if all 3 of the original matches are
detected as combed (p/c/n + u/b)

=back


The parenthesis at the end indicate the matches that would be used for that
mode assuming B<order>=I<tff> (and B<field> on I<auto> or
I<top>).

In terms of speed B<pc> mode is by far the fastest and B<pcn_ub> is
the slowest.

Default value is I<pc_n>.


=item B<ppsrc>

Mark the main input stream as a pre-processed input, and enable the secondary
input stream as the clean source to pick the fields from. See the filter
introduction for more details. It is similar to the B<clip2> feature from
VFM/TFM.

Default value is C<0> (disabled).


=item B<field>

Set the field to match from. It is recommended to set this to the same value as
B<order> unless you experience matching failures with that setting. In
certain circumstances changing the field that is used to match from can have a
large impact on matching performance. Available values are:


=over 4


=item B<auto>

Automatic (same value as B<order>).

=item B<bottom>

Match from the bottom field.

=item B<top>

Match from the top field.

=back


Default value is I<auto>.


=item B<mchroma>

Set whether or not chroma is included during the match comparisons. In most
cases it is recommended to leave this enabled. You should set this to C<0>
only if your clip has bad chroma problems such as heavy rainbowing or other
artifacts. Setting this to C<0> could also be used to speed things up at
the cost of some accuracy.

Default value is C<1>.


=item B<y0>


=item B<y1>

These define an exclusion band which excludes the lines between B<y0> and
B<y1> from being included in the field matching decision. An exclusion
band can be used to ignore subtitles, a logo, or other things that may
interfere with the matching. B<y0> sets the starting scan line and
B<y1> sets the ending line; all lines in between B<y0> and
B<y1> (including B<y0> and B<y1>) will be ignored. Setting
B<y0> and B<y1> to the same value will disable the feature.
B<y0> and B<y1> defaults to C<0>.


=item B<scthresh>

Set the scene change detection threshold as a percentage of maximum change on
the luma plane. Good values are in the C<[8.0, 14.0]> range. Scene change
detection is only relevant in case B<combmatch>=I<sc>.  The range for
B<scthresh> is C<[0.0, 100.0]>.

Default value is C<12.0>.


=item B<combmatch>

When B<combatch> is not I<none>, C<fieldmatch> will take into
account the combed scores of matches when deciding what match to use as the
final match. Available values are:


=over 4


=item B<none>

No final matching based on combed scores.

=item B<sc>

Combed scores are only used when a scene change is detected.

=item B<full>

Use combed scores all the time.

=back


Default is I<sc>.


=item B<combdbg>

Force C<fieldmatch> to calculate the combed metrics for certain matches and
print them. This setting is known as B<micout> in TFM/VFM vocabulary.
Available values are:


=over 4


=item B<none>

No forced calculation.

=item B<pcn>

Force p/c/n calculations.

=item B<pcnub>

Force p/c/n/u/b calculations.

=back


Default value is I<none>.


=item B<cthresh>

This is the area combing threshold used for combed frame detection. This
essentially controls how "strong" or "visible" combing must be to be detected.
Larger values mean combing must be more visible and smaller values mean combing
can be less visible or strong and still be detected. Valid settings are from
C<-1> (every pixel will be detected as combed) to C<255> (no pixel will
be detected as combed). This is basically a pixel difference value. A good
range is C<[8, 12]>.

Default value is C<9>.


=item B<chroma>

Sets whether or not chroma is considered in the combed frame decision.  Only
disable this if your source has chroma problems (rainbowing, etc.) that are
causing problems for the combed frame detection with chroma enabled. Actually,
using B<chroma>=I<0> is usually more reliable, except for the case
where there is chroma only combing in the source.

Default value is C<0>.


=item B<blockx>


=item B<blocky>

Respectively set the x-axis and y-axis size of the window used during combed
frame detection. This has to do with the size of the area in which
B<combpel> pixels are required to be detected as combed for a frame to be
declared combed. See the B<combpel> parameter description for more info.
Possible values are any number that is a power of 2 starting at 4 and going up
to 512.

Default value is C<16>.


=item B<combpel>

The number of combed pixels inside any of the B<blocky> by
B<blockx> size blocks on the frame for the frame to be detected as
combed. While B<cthresh> controls how "visible" the combing must be, this
setting controls "how much" combing there must be in any localized area (a
window defined by the B<blockx> and B<blocky> settings) on the
frame. Minimum value is C<0> and maximum is C<blocky x blockx> (at
which point no frames will ever be detected as combed). This setting is known
as B<MI> in TFM/VFM vocabulary.

Default value is C<80>.

=back




=head3 p/c/n/u/b meaning



=head4 p/c/n


We assume the following telecined stream:

	
	Top fields:     1 2 2 3 4
	Bottom fields:  1 2 3 4 4


The numbers correspond to the progressive frame the fields relate to. Here, the
first two frames are progressive, the 3rd and 4th are combed, and so on.

When C<fieldmatch> is configured to run a matching from bottom
(B<field>=I<bottom>) this is how this input stream get transformed:

	
	Input stream:
	                T     1 2 2 3 4
	                B     1 2 3 4 4   <-- matching reference
	
	Matches:              c c n n c
	
	Output stream:
	                T     1 2 3 4 4
	                B     1 2 3 4 4


As a result of the field matching, we can see that some frames get duplicated.
To perform a complete inverse telecine, you need to rely on a decimation filter
after this operation. See for instance the B<decimate> filter.

The same operation now matching from top fields (B<field>=I<top>)
looks like this:

	
	Input stream:
	                T     1 2 2 3 4   <-- matching reference
	                B     1 2 3 4 4
	
	Matches:              c c p p c
	
	Output stream:
	                T     1 2 2 3 4
	                B     1 2 2 3 4


In these examples, we can see what I<p>, I<c> and I<n> mean;
basically, they refer to the frame and field of the opposite parity:


=over 4


=item *<I<p> matches the field of the opposite parity in the previous frame>


=item *<I<c> matches the field of the opposite parity in the current frame>


=item *<I<n> matches the field of the opposite parity in the next frame>


=back



=head4 u/b


The I<u> and I<b> matching are a bit special in the sense that they match
from the opposite parity flag. In the following examples, we assume that we are
currently matching the 2nd frame (Top:2, bottom:2). According to the match, a
'x' is placed above and below each matched fields.

With bottom matching (B<field>=I<bottom>):
	
	Match:           c         p           n          b          u
	
	                 x       x               x        x          x
	  Top          1 2 2     1 2 2       1 2 2      1 2 2      1 2 2
	  Bottom       1 2 3     1 2 3       1 2 3      1 2 3      1 2 3
	                 x         x           x        x              x
	
	Output frames:
	                 2          1          2          2          2
	                 2          2          2          1          3


With top matching (B<field>=I<top>):
	
	Match:           c         p           n          b          u
	
	                 x         x           x        x              x

=head3 Examples


Simple IVTC of a top field first telecined stream:
	
	fieldmatch=order=tff:combmatch=none, decimate


Advanced IVTC, with fallback on B<yadif> for still combed frames:
	
	fieldmatch=order=tff:combmatch=full, yadif=deint=interlaced, decimate



=head2 fieldorder


Transform the field order of the input video.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<order>

The output field order. Valid values are I<tff> for top field first or I<bff>
for bottom field first.

=back


The default value is B<tff>.

The transformation is done by shifting the picture content up or down
by one line, and filling the remaining line with appropriate picture content.
This method is consistent with most broadcast field order converters.

If the input video is not flagged as being interlaced, or it is already
flagged as being of the required output field order, then this filter does
not alter the incoming video.

It is very useful when converting to or from PAL DV material,
which is bottom field first.

For example:
	
	ffmpeg -i in.vob -vf "fieldorder=bff" out.dv



=head2 fifo, afifo


Buffer input images and send them when they are requested.

It is mainly useful when auto-inserted by the libavfilter
framework.

It does not take parameters.


=head2 fillborders

Sometimes video can have garbage at the four edges and you may not want to
crop video input to keep size multiple of some number.

This filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<left>

Number of pixels to fill from left border.


=item B<right>

Number of pixels to fill from right border.

=head3 Commands

This filter supports same B<commands> as options.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current
value.


=head2 find_rect


Find a rectangular object in the input video.

The object to search for must be specified as a gray8 image specified with the
B<object> option.

For each possible match, a score is computed. If the score reaches the specified
threshold, the object is considered found.

If the input video contains multiple instances of the object, the filter will
find only one of them.

When an object is found, the following metadata entries are set in the matching
frame:

=over 4


=item B<lavfi.rect.w>

width of object


=item B<lavfi.rect.h>

height of object


=item B<lavfi.rect.x>

x position of object


=item B<lavfi.rect.y>

=item B<object>

Filepath of the object image, needs to be in gray8.


=item B<threshold>

Detection threshold, expressed as a decimal number in the range 0-1.

A threshold value of 0.01 means only exact matches, a threshold of 0.99 means
almost everything matches.

Default value is 0.5.


=item B<mipmaps>

Number of mipmaps, default is 3.


=item B<xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax>

Specifies the rectangle in which to search.


=item B<discard>

Discard frames where object is not detected. Default is disabled.

NTSC-film frame rate of C<24000/1001>

=back


The default is C<25>.


=item B<start_time>

Assume the first PTS should be the given value, in seconds. This allows for
padding/trimming at the start of stream. By default, no assumption is made
about the first frame's expected PTS, so no padding or trimming is done.
For example, this could be set to 0 to pad the beginning with duplicates of
the first frame if a video stream starts after the audio stream or to trim any
frames with a negative PTS.


=item B<round>

Timestamp (PTS) rounding method.

Possible values are:

=item B<round>

Use same timestamp rounding method as used for other frames.

=item B<pass>

Pass through last frame if input duration has not been reached yet.

=back

The default is C<round>.

	fps=fps=film:round=near


=back



=head2 framepack


Pack two different video streams into a stereoscopic video, setting proper
metadata on supported codecs. The two views should have the same size and
framerate and processing will stop when the shorter video ends. Please note
that you may conveniently adjust view properties with the B<scale> and
B<fps> filters.

It accepts the following parameters:

=over 4



=item B<format>

The desired packing format. Supported values are:


=over 4



=item B<sbs>

The views are next to each other (default).


=item B<tab>

The views are on top of each other.


=item B<lines>

The views are packed by line.


=item B<columns>

The views are packed by column.


=item B<frameseq>

The views are temporally interleaved.


=back



=back


Some examples:

	
	# Convert left and right views into a frame-sequential video
	ffmpeg -i LEFT -i RIGHT -filter_complex framepack=frameseq OUTPUT
	
	# Convert views into a side-by-side video with the same output resolution as the input
	ffmpeg -i LEFT -i RIGHT -filter_complex [0:v]scale=w=iw/2[left],[1:v]scale=w=iw/2[right],[left][right]framepack=sbs OUTPUT



=head2 framerate


Change the frame rate by interpolating new video output frames from the source
frames.

This filter is not designed to function correctly with interlaced media. If
you wish to change the frame rate of interlaced media then you are required
to deinterlace before this filter and re-interlace after this filter.

A description of the accepted options follows.


=over 4


=item B<fps>

Specify the output frames per second. This option can also be specified
as a value alone. The default is C<50>.


=item B<interp_start>

Specify the start of a range where the output frame will be created as a
linear interpolation of two frames. The range is [C<0>-C<255>],
the default is C<15>.


=item B<interp_end>

Specify the end of a range where the output frame will be created as a
linear interpolation of two frames. The range is [C<0>-C<255>],
the default is C<240>.


=item B<scene>

Specify the level at which a scene change is detected as a value between
0 and 100 to indicate a new scene; a low value reflects a low
probability for the current frame to introduce a new scene, while a higher
value means the current frame is more likely to be one.
The default is C<8.2>.


=item B<flags>

Specify flags influencing the filter process.

Available value for I<flags> is:


=over 4


=item B<scene_change_detect, scd>

Enable scene change detection using the value of the option I<scene>.

=item B<step>

Select frame after every C<step> frames.
Allowed values are positive integers higher than 0. Default value is C<1>.

=back



=head2 freezedetect


Detect frozen video.

This filter logs a message and sets frame metadata when it detects that the
input video has no significant change in content during a specified duration.
Video freeze detection calculates the mean average absolute difference of all
the components of video frames and compares it to a noise floor.

The printed times and duration are expressed in seconds. The
C<lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_start> metadata key is set on the first frame
whose timestamp equals or exceeds the detection duration and it contains the
timestamp of the first frame of the freeze. The
C<lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_duration> and
C<lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_end> metadata keys are set on the first frame
after the freeze.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<noise, n>

Set noise tolerance. Can be specified in dB (in case "dB" is appended to the
specified value) or as a difference ratio between 0 and 1. Default is -60dB, or
0.001.

=back




=head2 frei0r


Apply a frei0r effect to the input video.

To enable the compilation of this filter, you need to install the frei0r
header and configure FFmpeg with C<--enable-frei0r>.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<filter_name>

The name of the frei0r effect to load. If the environment variable
B<FREI0R_PATH> is defined, the frei0r effect is searched for in each of the
directories specified by the colon-separated list in B<FREI0R_PATH>.
Otherwise, the standard frei0r paths are searched, in this order:
F<HOME/.frei0r-1/lib/>, F</usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/>,
F</usr/lib/frei0r-1/>.


=item B<filter_params>

A '|'-separated list of parameters to pass to the frei0r effect.


=back


A frei0r effect parameter can be a boolean (its value is either
"y" or "n"), a double, a color (specified as
I<R>/I<G>/I<B>, where I<R>, I<G>, and I<B> are floating point
numbers between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive) or a color description as specified in the
B<"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>,
a position (specified as I<X>/I<Y>, where
I<X> and I<Y> are floating point numbers) and/or a string.

The number and types of parameters depend on the loaded effect. If an
effect parameter is not specified, the default value is set.


=head3 Examples

	frei0r=colordistance:0.2/0.3/0.4
	frei0r=colordistance:violet
	frei0r=colordistance:0x112233



=item *

Apply the perspective effect, specifying the top left and top right image
positions:
	
	frei0r=perspective:0.2/0.2|0.8/0.2


=back

E<lt>B<http://frei0r.dyne.org>E<gt>


=head3 Commands


This filter supports the B<filter_params> option as B<commands>.


=head2 fspp


Apply fast and simple postprocessing. It is a faster version of B<spp>.

It splits (I)DCT into horizontal/vertical passes. Unlike the simple post-
processing filter, one of them is performed once per block, not per pixel.
This allows for much higher speed.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<quality>

Set quality. This option defines the number of levels for averaging. It accepts
an integer in the range 4-5. Default value is C<4>.


=item B<qp>

Force a constant quantization parameter. It accepts an integer in range 0-63.
If not set, the filter will use the QP from the video stream (if available).


=item B<strength>

Set filter strength. It accepts an integer in range -15 to 32. Lower values mean
more details but also more artifacts, while higher values make the image smoother
but also blurrier. Default value is C<0> − PSNR optimal.


=item B<use_bframe_qp>

Enable the use of the QP from the B-Frames if set to C<1>. Using this
option may cause flicker since the B-Frames have often larger QP. Default is
C<0> (not enabled).


=back



=head2 gblur


Apply Gaussian blur filter.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<sigma>

Set horizontal sigma, standard deviation of Gaussian blur. Default is C<0.5>.


=item B<steps>

Set number of steps for Gaussian approximation. Default is C<1>.


=item B<planes>

Set which planes to filter. By default all planes are filtered.


=item B<sigmaV>

Set vertical sigma, if negative it will be same as C<sigma>.
Default is C<-1>.

=back



=head3 Commands

This filter supports same commands as options.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current
value.


=head2 geq


Apply generic equation to each pixel.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<lum_expr, lum>

Set the luma expression.

=item B<cb_expr, cb>

Set the chrominance blue expression.

=item B<cr_expr, cr>

Set the chrominance red expression.

=item B<alpha_expr, a>

Set the alpha expression.

=item B<red_expr, r>

Set the red expression.

=item B<green_expr, g>

Set the green expression.

=item B<blue_expr, b>

Set the blue expression.

=back


The colorspace is selected according to the specified options. If one
of the B<lum_expr>, B<cb_expr>, or B<cr_expr>
options is specified, the filter will automatically select a YCbCr
colorspace. If one of the B<red_expr>, B<green_expr>, or
B<blue_expr> options is specified, it will select an RGB
colorspace.

If one of the chrominance expression is not defined, it falls back on the other
one. If no alpha expression is specified it will evaluate to opaque value.
If none of chrominance expressions are specified, they will evaluate
to the luma expression.

The expressions can use the following variables and functions:


=over 4


=item B<N>

The sequential number of the filtered frame, starting from C<0>.


=item B<X>


=item B<Y>

The coordinates of the current sample.


=item B<W>


=item B<H>

The width and height of the image.


=item B<SW>


=item B<SH>

Width and height scale depending on the currently filtered plane. It is the

Sum of sample values in the rectangle from (0,0) to (x,y), this allows obtaining
sums of samples within a rectangle. See the functions without the sum postfix.


=item B<interpolation>

Set one of interpolation methods:

=over 4


=item B<nearest, n>


=item B<bilinear, b>


=back

Default is bilinear.

=back


For functions, if I<x> and I<y> are outside the area, the value will be
automatically clipped to the closer edge.

Please note that this filter can use multiple threads in which case each slice
will have its own expression state. If you want to use only a single expression
state because your expressions depend on previous state then you should limit
the number of filter threads to 1.


=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Flip the image horizontally:
	
	geq=p(W-X\,Y)



=item *

Generate a bidimensional sine wave, with angle C<PI/3> and a
wavelength of 100 pixels:
	
	geq=128 + 100*sin(2*(PI/100)*(cos(PI/3)*(X-50*T) + sin(PI/3)*Y)):128:128



=item *

Generate a fancy enigmatic moving light:
	
	nullsrc=s=256x256,geq=random(1)/hypot(X-cos(N*0.07)*W/2-W/2\,Y-sin(N*0.09)*H/2-H/2)^2*1000000*sin(N*0.02):128:128

	format=gray,geq=lum_expr='(p(X,Y)+(256-p(X-4,Y-4)))/2'



=item *

Modify RGB components depending on pixel position:
	
	geq=r='X/W*r(X,Y)':g='(1-X/W)*g(X,Y)':b='(H-Y)/H*b(X,Y)'



=item *

Create a radial gradient that is the same size as the input (also see
the B<vignette> filter):
	
	geq=lum=255*gauss((X/W-0.5)*3)*gauss((Y/H-0.5)*3)/gauss(0)/gauss(0),format=gray


=back



=head2 gradfun


Fix the banding artifacts that are sometimes introduced into nearly flat
regions by truncation to 8-bit color depth.
Interpolate the gradients that should go where the bands are, and
dither them.

It is designed for playback only.  Do not use it prior to
lossy compression, because compression tends to lose the dither and
bring back the bands.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<strength>

The maximum amount by which the filter will change any one pixel. This is also
the threshold for detecting nearly flat regions. Acceptable values range from
.51 to 64; the default value is 1.2. Out-of-range values will be clipped to the
valid range.


=item B<radius>

The neighborhood to fit the gradient to. A larger radius makes for smoother
gradients, but also prevents the filter from modifying the pixels near detailed
regions. Acceptable values are 8-32; the default value is 16. Out-of-range
values will be clipped to the valid range.


=back


Alternatively, the options can be specified as a flat string:
I<strength>[:I<radius>]


=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Apply the filter with a C<3.5> strength and radius of C<8>:
	
	gradfun=3.5:8



=item *

Specify radius, omitting the strength (which will fall-back to the default
value):

=head2 haldclut


Apply a Hald CLUT to a video stream.

First input is the video stream to process, and second one is the Hald CLUT.
The Hald CLUT input can be a simple picture or a complete video stream.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<clut>

Set which CLUT video frames will be processed from second input stream,
can be I<first> or I<all>. Default is I<all>.


=item B<shortest>

C<0> disable the filter after the last frame of the CLUT is reached.
Default is C<1>.

=back


C<haldclut> also has the same interpolation options as B<lut3d> (both
filters share the same internals).

This filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

More information about the Hald CLUT can be found on Eskil Steenberg's website
(Hald CLUT author) at E<lt>B<http://www.quelsolaar.com/technology/clut.html>E<gt>.


=head3 Commands


This filter supports the C<interp> option as B<commands>.


=head3 Workflow examples



=head4 Hald CLUT video stream


Generate an identity Hald CLUT stream altered with various effects:
	
	ffmpeg -f lavfi -i B<haldclutsrc>=8 -vf "hue=H=2*PI*t:s=sin(2*PI*t)+1, curves=cross_process" -t 10 -c:v ffv1 clut.nut


Note: make sure you use a lossless codec.

Then use it with C<haldclut> to apply it on some random stream:
	
	ffmpeg -f lavfi -i mandelbrot -i clut.nut -filter_complex '[0][1] haldclut' -t 20 mandelclut.mkv


The Hald CLUT will be applied to the 10 first seconds (duration of
F<clut.nut>), then the latest picture of that CLUT stream will be applied
to the remaining frames of the C<mandelbrot> stream.


=head4 Hald CLUT with preview


A Hald CLUT is supposed to be a squared image of C<Level*Level*Level> by
C<Level*Level*Level> pixels. For a given Hald CLUT, FFmpeg will select the
biggest possible square starting at the top left of the picture. The remaining
padding pixels (bottom or right) will be ignored. This area can be used to add
a preview of the Hald CLUT.

Typically, the following generated Hald CLUT will be supported by the
C<haldclut> filter:

	
	ffmpeg -f lavfi -i B<haldclutsrc>=8 -vf "
	   pad=iw+320 [padded_clut];
	   smptebars=s=320x256, split [a][b];
	   [padded_clut][a] overlay=W-320:h, curves=color_negative [main];
	   [main][b] overlay=W-320" -frames:v 1 clut.png


It contains the original and a preview of the effect of the CLUT: SMPTE color
bars are displayed on the right-top, and below the same color bars processed by
the color changes.

Then, the effect of this Hald CLUT can be visualized with:
	
	ffplay input.mkv -vf "movie=clut.png, [in] haldclut"



=head2 hflip


Flip the input video horizontally.

For example, to horizontally flip the input video with B<ffmpeg>:
	
	ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "hflip" out.avi



=head2 histeq

This filter applies a global color histogram equalization on a
per-frame basis.

It can be used to correct video that has a compressed range of pixel
intensities.  The filter redistributes the pixel intensities to
equalize their distribution across the intensity range. It may be
viewed as an "automatically adjusting contrast filter". This filter is
useful only for correcting degraded or poorly captured source
video.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<strength>

Determine the amount of equalization to be applied.  As the strength
is reduced, the distribution of pixel intensities more-and-more
approaches that of the input frame. The value must be a float number
in the range [0,1] and defaults to 0.200.


=item B<intensity>

Set the maximum intensity that can generated and scale the output
values appropriately.  The strength should be set as desired and then
the intensity can be limited if needed to avoid washing-out. The value
must be a float number in the range [0,1] and defaults to 0.210.


=item B<antibanding>

Set the antibanding level. If enabled the filter will randomly vary
the luminance of output pixels by a small amount to avoid banding of
the histogram. Possible values are C<none>, C<weak> or
C<strong>. It defaults to C<none>.

=back




=head2 histogram


Compute and draw a color distribution histogram for the input video.

The computed histogram is a representation of the color component
distribution in an image.

Standard histogram displays the color components distribution in an image.
Displays color graph for each color component. Shows distribution of
the Y, U, V, A or R, G, B components, depending on input format, in the
current frame. Below each graph a color component scale meter is shown.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<level_height>

Set height of level. Default value is C<200>.
Allowed range is [50, 2048].


=item B<scale_height>

Allowed range is [0, 40].


=item B<display_mode>

Set display mode.
It accepts the following values:

=item B<stack>

Per color component graphs are placed below each other.


=item B<parade>

that the graphs representing color components are superimposed directly
over one another.

=back

Default is C<stack>.


=item B<levels_mode>

Set mode. Can be either C<linear>, or C<logarithmic>.
Default is C<linear>.


=item B<components>

=head2 hqdn3d


This is a high precision/quality 3d denoise filter. It aims to reduce
image noise, producing smooth images and making still images really
still. It should enhance compressibility.

I<luma_tmp>*I<chroma_spatial>/I<luma_spatial>.

=back



=head3 Commands

This filter supports same B<commands> as options.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current
value.



=head2 hwdownload


Download hardware frames to system memory.

The input must be in hardware frames, and the output a non-hardware format.
Not all formats will be supported on the output - it may be necessary to insert
an additional B<format> filter immediately following in the graph to get
the output in a supported format.


=head2 hwmap


Map hardware frames to system memory or to another device.

This filter has several different modes of operation; which one is used depends
on the input and output formats:

=over 4


=item *

Hardware frame input, normal frame output

Map the input frames to system memory and pass them to the output.  If the
original hardware frame is later required (for example, after overlaying
something else on part of it), the B<hwmap> filter can be used again
in the next mode to retrieve it.

=item *

Normal frame input, hardware frame output

If the input is actually a software-mapped hardware frame, then unmap it -
that is, return the original hardware frame.

Otherwise, a device must be provided.  Create new hardware surfaces on that
device for the output, then map them back to the software format at the input
and give those frames to the preceding filter.  This will then act like the
B<hwupload> filter, but may be able to avoid an additional copy when
the input is already in a compatible format.

=item *

Hardware frame input and output

A device must be supplied for the output, either directly or with the
B<derive_device> option.  The input and output devices must be of
different types and compatible - the exact meaning of this is
system-dependent, but typically it means that they must refer to the same
underlying hardware context (for example, refer to the same graphics card).

If the input frames were originally created on the output device, then unmap
to retrieve the original frames.

Otherwise, map the frames to the output device - create new hardware frames
on the output corresponding to the frames on the input.

=back


The following additional parameters are accepted:


=over 4


=item B<mode>

Set the frame mapping mode.  Some combination of:

=over 4


=item I<read>

The mapped frame should be readable.

=item I<write>

The mapped frame should be writeable.

=item I<overwrite>

The mapping will always overwrite the entire frame.

This may improve performance in some cases, as the original contents of the
frame need not be loaded.

=item I<direct>

The mapping must not involve any copying.

Indirect mappings to copies of frames are created in some cases where either
direct mapping is not possible or it would have unexpected properties.
Setting this flag ensures that the mapping is direct and will fail if that is
not possible.

=back

Defaults to I<read+write> if not specified.


=item B<derive_device> I<type>

Rather than using the device supplied at initialisation, instead derive a new
device of type I<type> from the device the input frames exist on.


=item B<reverse>

In a hardware to hardware mapping, map in reverse - create frames in the sink
and map them back to the source.  This may be necessary in some cases where
a mapping in one direction is required but only the opposite direction is
supported by the devices being used.

This option is dangerous - it may break the preceding filter in undefined
ways if there are any additional constraints on that filter's output.
Do not use it without fully understanding the implications of its use.

=back




=head2 hwupload


Upload system memory frames to hardware surfaces.

The device to upload to must be supplied when the filter is initialised.  If
using ffmpeg, select the appropriate device with the B<-filter_hw_device>
option or with the B<derive_device> option.  The input and output devices
must be of different types and compatible - the exact meaning of this is
system-dependent, but typically it means that they must refer to the same
underlying hardware context (for example, refer to the same graphics card).

The following additional parameters are accepted:


=over 4


=item B<derive_device> I<type>

Rather than using the device supplied at initialisation, instead derive a new
device of type I<type> from the device the input frames exist on.

=back




=head2 hwupload_cuda

It accepts the following optional parameters:


=over 4


=item B<device>

C<hq3x> and C<4> for C<hq4x>.
Default is C<3>.

=back




=head2 hstack

Note that this filter is faster than using B<overlay> and B<pad> filter
to create same output.

The filter accepts the following option:


=over 4


=item B<inputs>

Set number of input streams. Default is 2.

=item B<blend>

Blend percentage.
Allowed range is from 0 to 1. Default value is 0.

0.0 makes pixels either fully gray, or not gray at all.

=item B<blend>

Blend percentage.
Allowed range is from 0 to 1. Default value is 0.

0.0 makes pixels either fully transparent, or not transparent at all.

Higher values result in semi-transparent pixels, with a higher transparency
the more similar the pixels color is to the key color.

By default value is 0.

=back


The C<hysteresis> filter also supports the B<framesync> options.


=head2 iccdetect


Detect the colorspace  from an embedded ICC profile (if present), and update
the frame's tags accordingly.

This filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<force>

If true, the frame's existing colorspace tags will always be overridden by
values detected from an ICC profile. Otherwise, they will only be assigned if
they contain C<unknown>. Enabled by default.

=back



=head2 iccgen


Generate ICC profiles and attach them to frames.

This filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<color_primaries>


=item B<color_trc>

Configure the colorspace that the ICC profile will be generated for. The
default value of C<auto> infers the value from the input frame's metadata,
defaulting to BT.709/sRGB as appropriate.

See the B<setparams> filter for a list of possible values, but note that
C<unknown> are not valid values for this filter.


=item B<force>

If true, an ICC profile will be generated even if it would overwrite an
already existing ICC profile. Disabled by default.

=back



=head2 identity


Obtain the identity score between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

Both input videos must have the same resolution and pixel format for
this filter to work correctly. Also it assumes that both inputs
have the same number of frames, which are compared one by one.

The obtained per component, average, min and max identity score is printed through
the logging system.

The filter stores the calculated identity scores of each frame in frame metadata.

This filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

In the below example the input file F<main.mpg> being processed is compared
with the reference file F<ref.mpg>.

	
	ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi identity -f null -



=head2 idet


Detect video interlacing type.

This filter tries to detect if the input frames are interlaced, progressive,
top or bottom field first. It will also try to detect fields that are
repeated between adjacent frames (a sign of telecine).

Single frame detection considers only immediately adjacent frames when classifying each frame.
Multiple frame detection incorporates the classification history of previous frames.

The filter will log these metadata values:


=over 4


=item B<single.current_frame>

Detected type of current frame using single-frame detection. One of:
``tff'' (top field first), ``bff'' (bottom field first),
``progressive'', or ``undetermined''

Cumulative number of frames detected as top field first using single-frame detection.


=item B<multiple.tff>

Cumulative number of frames detected as top field first using multiple-frame detection.


=item B<single.bff>

Cumulative number of frames detected as bottom field first using single-frame detection.


=item B<multiple.current_frame>

Detected type of current frame using multiple-frame detection. One of:
``tff'' (top field first), ``bff'' (bottom field first),
``progressive'', or ``undetermined''


=item B<multiple.bff>

Cumulative number of frames detected as bottom field first using multiple-frame detection.


=item B<single.progressive>

Cumulative number of frames detected as progressive using single-frame detection.


=item B<multiple.progressive>

Cumulative number of frames detected as progressive using multiple-frame detection.


=item B<single.undetermined>

Cumulative number of frames that could not be classified using single-frame detection.


=item B<multiple.undetermined>

Cumulative number of frames that could not be classified using multiple-frame detection.


=item B<repeated.current_frame>

=item B<repeated.top>

Cumulative number of frames with the top field repeated from the previous frame's top field.


=item B<repeated.bottom>

Cumulative number of frames with the bottom field repeated from the previous frame's bottom field.

=back


The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<intl_thres>

Set interlacing threshold.

=item B<prog_thres>

Set progressive threshold.

=item B<rep_thres>

Threshold for repeated field detection.

=item B<half_life>

Number of frames after which a given frame's contribution to the
statistics is halved (i.e., it contributes only 0.5 to its
classification). The default of 0 means that all frames seen are given
full weight of 1.0 forever.

=item B<analyze_interlaced_flag>

When this is not 0 then idet will use the specified number of frames to determine
if the interlaced flag is accurate, it will not count undetermined frames.
If the flag is found to be accurate it will be used without any further
computations, if it is found to be inaccurate it will be cleared without any
further computations. This allows inserting the idet filter as a low computational
method to clean up the interlaced flag

=back



=head2 il


Deinterleave or interleave fields.

This filter allows one to process interlaced images fields without
deinterlacing them. Deinterleaving splits the input frame into 2
fields (so called half pictures). Odd lines are moved to the top
half of the output image, even lines to the bottom half.
You can process (filter) them independently and then re-interleave them.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<luma_mode, l>


=item B<chroma_mode, c>


=item B<alpha_mode, a>

Available values for I<luma_mode>, I<chroma_mode> and
I<alpha_mode> are:


=over 4


=item B<none>

Do nothing.


=item B<deinterleave, d>

deinterling. Work on interlaced parts of a video to produce
progressive frames.

The description of the accepted parameters follows.


=over 4


=item B<thresh>

Set the threshold which affects the filter's tolerance when
determining if a pixel line must be processed. It must be an integer
in the range [0,255] and defaults to 10. A value of 0 will result in
applying the process on every pixels.

Set which planes to filter. Default is all. Allowed range is from 0 to 15.

=back



=head3 Commands


This filter supports the all above options as B<commands>.


=head2 lenscorrection


Correct radial lens distortion

This filter can be used to correct for radial distortion as can result from the use
of wide angle lenses, and thereby re-rectify the image. To find the right parameters
one can use tools available for example as part of opencv or simply trial-and-error.
To use opencv use the calibration sample (under samples/cpp) from the opencv sources
and extract the k1 and k2 coefficients from the resulting matrix.

Note that effectively the same filter is available in the open-source tools Krita and
Digikam from the KDE project.

In contrast to the B<vignette> filter, which can also be used to compensate lens errors,
this filter corrects the distortion of the image, whereas B<vignette> corrects the
brightness distribution, so you may want to use both filters together in certain
cases, though you will have to take care of ordering, i.e. whether vignetting should
be applied before or after lens correction.


=head3 Options


The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<cx>

Relative x-coordinate of the focal point of the image, and thereby the center of the
distortion. This value has a range [0,1] and is expressed as fractions of the image
width. Default is 0.5.

=item B<cy>

Relative y-coordinate of the focal point of the image, and thereby the center of the
distortion. This value has a range [0,1] and is expressed as fractions of the image
height. Default is 0.5.

=item B<k1>

Coefficient of the quadratic correction term. This value has a range [-1,1]. 0 means
no correction. Default is 0.

=item B<k2>

Coefficient of the double quadratic correction term. This value has a range [-1,1].
0 means no correction. Default is 0.

=item B<i>

Set interpolation type. Can be C<nearest> or C<bilinear>.
Default is C<nearest>.

=item B<fc>

Specify the color of the unmapped pixels. For the syntax of this option,
check the B<"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual>. Default color is C<black@0>.

=back


The formula that generates the correction is:

I<r_src> = I<r_tgt> * (1 + I<k1> * (I<r_tgt> / I<r_0>)^2 + I<k2> * (I<r_tgt> / I<r_0>)^4)

where I<r_0> is halve of the image diagonal and I<r_src> and I<r_tgt> are the
distances from the focal point in the source and target images, respectively.


=head3 Commands


This filter supports the all above options as B<commands>.


=head2 lensfun


Apply lens correction via the lensfun library (E<lt>B<http://lensfun.sourceforge.net/>E<gt>).

The C<lensfun> filter requires the camera make, camera model, and lens model
to apply the lens correction. The filter will load the lensfun database and
query it to find the corresponding camera and lens entries in the database. As
long as these entries can be found with the given options, the filter can
perform corrections on frames. Note that incomplete strings will result in the
filter choosing the best match with the given options, and the filter will
output the chosen camera and lens models (logged with level "info"). You must
provide the make, camera model, and lens model as they are required.

To obtain a list of available makes and models, leave out one or both of C<make> and
C<model> options. The filter will send the full list to the log with level C<INFO>.
The first column is the make and the second column is the model.
To obtain a list of available lenses, set any values for make and model and leave out the
C<lens_model> option. The filter will send the full list of lenses in the log with level
C<INFO>. The ffmpeg tool will exit after the list is printed.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<make>

The make of the camera (for example, "Canon"). This option is required.


=item B<model>

The model of the camera (for example, "Canon EOS 100D"). This option is
required.


=item B<lens_model>

The model of the lens (for example, "Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM"). This
option is required.


=item B<db_path>

The full path to the lens database folder. If not set, the filter will attempt to
load the database from the install path when the library was built. Default is unset.


=item B<mode>

The type of correction to apply. The following values are valid options:


=over 4


=item B<vignetting>

Enables fixing lens vignetting.


=item B<geometry>

Enables fixing lens geometry. This is the default.


=item B<subpixel>

Enables fixing chromatic aberrations.


=item B<vig_geo>

Enables fixing lens vignetting and lens geometry.


=item B<vig_subpixel>

Enables fixing lens vignetting and chromatic aberrations.


=item B<distortion>

Enables fixing both lens geometry and chromatic aberrations.


=item B<all>

Enables all possible corrections.


=back


=item B<focal_length>

The focal length of the image/video (zoom; expected constant for video). For
example, a 18--55mm lens has focal length range of [18--55], so a value in that
range should be chosen when using that lens. Default 18.


=item B<aperture>

The aperture of the image/video (expected constant for video). Note that
aperture is only used for vignetting correction. Default 3.5.


=item B<focus_distance>

The focus distance of the image/video (expected constant for video). Note that
focus distance is only used for vignetting and only slightly affects the
vignetting correction process. If unknown, leave it at the default value (which
is 1000).


=item B<scale>

The scale factor which is applied after transformation. After correction the
video is no longer necessarily rectangular. This parameter controls how much of
the resulting image is visible. The value 0 means that a value will be chosen
automatically such that there is little or no unmapped area in the output
image. 1.0 means that no additional scaling is done. Lower values may result
in more of the corrected image being visible, while higher values may avoid
unmapped areas in the output.


=item B<target_geometry>

The target geometry of the output image/video. The following values are valid
options:


=over 4


=item B<rectilinear (default)>


=item B<fisheye>


=item B<panoramic>


=item B<equirectangular>


=item B<fisheye_orthographic>


=item B<fisheye_stereographic>


=item B<fisheye_equisolid>


=item B<fisheye_thoby>


=back


=item B<reverse>

Apply the reverse of image correction (instead of correcting distortion, apply
it).


=item B<interpolation>

The type of interpolation used when correcting distortion. The following values
are valid options:


=over 4


=item B<nearest>


=item B<linear (default)>


=item B<lanczos>


=back

=head2 libplacebo


Flexible GPU-accelerated processing filter based on libplacebo
(E<lt>B<https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo>E<gt>).


=head3 Options


The options for this filter are divided into the following sections:


=head4 Output mode

These options control the overall output mode. By default, libplacebo will try
to preserve the source colorimetry and size as best as it can, but it will
apply any embedded film grain, dolby vision metadata or anamorphic SAR present
in source frames.

=over 4


=item B<inputs>

Set the number of inputs. This can be used, alongside the C<idx> variable,
to allow placing/blending multiple inputs inside the output frame. This
effectively enables functionality similar to B<hstack>, B<overlay>, etc.


=item B<w>


=item B<h>

Set the output video dimension expression. Default values are C<iw> and
C<ih>.

Allows for the same expressions as the B<scale> filter.


=item B<crop_x>


=item B<crop_y>

Set the input crop x/y expressions, default values are C<(iw-cw)/2> and
C<(ih-ch)/2>.


=item B<crop_w>


=item B<crop_h>

Set the input crop width/height expressions, default values are C<iw> and
C<ih>.


=item B<pos_x>


=item B<pos_y>

Set the output placement x/y expressions, default values are C<(ow-pw)/2>
and C<(oh-ph)/2>.


=item B<pos_w>


=item B<pos_h>

Set the output placement width/height expressions, default values are C<ow>
and C<oh>.


=item B<fps>

Set the output frame rate. This can be rational, e.g. C<60000/1001>. If
set to the special string C<none> (the default), input timestamps will
instead be passed through to the output unmodified. Otherwise, the input video
frames will be interpolated as necessary to rescale the video to the specified
target framerate, in a manner as determined by the B<frame_mixer> option.


=item B<format>

Set the output format override. If unset (the default), frames will be output
in the same format as the respective input frames. Otherwise, format conversion
will be performed.


=item B<force_original_aspect_ratio>


=item B<force_divisible_by>

Work the same as the identical B<scale> filter options.


=item B<normalize_sar>

If enabled, output frames will always have a pixel aspect ratio of 1:1. This
will introduce additional padding/cropping as necessary. If disabled (the
default), any aspect ratio mismatches, including those from e.g. anamorphic
video sources, are forwarded to the output pixel aspect ratio.


=item B<pad_crop_ratio>

Specifies a ratio (between C<0.0> and C<1.0>) between padding and
cropping when the input aspect ratio does not match the output aspect ratio and
B<normalize_sar> is in effect. The default of C<0.0> always pads the
content with black borders, while a value of C<1.0> always crops off parts
of the content. Intermediate values are possible, leading to a mix of the two
approaches.


=item B<fillcolor>

Set the color used to fill the output area not covered by the output image, for
example as a result of B<normalize_sar>. For the general syntax of this
option, check the B<"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual>. Defaults to C<black>.


=item B<corner_rounding>

Render frames with rounded corners. The value, given as a float ranging from
C<0.0> to C<1.0>, indicates the relative degree of rounding, from fully
square to fully circular. In other words, it gives the radius divided by half
the smaller side length. Defaults to C<0.0>.


=item B<extra_opts>

Pass extra libplacebo internal configuration options. These can be specified
as a list of I<key>=I<value> pairs separated by ':'. The following example
shows how to configure a custom filter kernel ("EWA LanczosSharp") and use it
to double the input image resolution:

	
	-vf "libplacebo=w=iw*2:h=ih*2:extra_opts='upscaler=custom\:upscaler_preset=ewa_lanczos\:upscaler_blur=0.9812505644269356'"



=item B<colorspace>


=item B<color_primaries>


=item B<color_trc>


=item B<range>

Configure the colorspace that output frames will be delivered in. The default
value of C<auto> outputs frames in the same format as the input frames,
leading to no change. For any other value, conversion will be performed.

See the B<setparams> filter for a list of possible values.


=item B<apply_filmgrain>

Apply film grain (e.g. AV1 or H.274) if present in source frames, and strip
it from the output. Enabled by default.


=item B<apply_dolbyvision>

Apply Dolby Vision RPU metadata if present in source frames, and strip it from
the output. Enabled by default. Note that Dolby Vision will always output
BT.2020+PQ, overriding the usual input frame metadata. These will also be
picked as the values of C<auto> for the respective frame output options.

=back


In addition to the expression constants documented for the B<scale> filter,
the B<crop_w>, B<crop_h>, B<crop_x>, B<crop_y>,
B<pos_w>, B<pos_h>, B<pos_x> and B<pos_y> options can
also contain the following constants:


=over 4


=item B<in_idx, idx>

The (0-based) numeric index of the currently active input stream.

=item B<crop_w, cw>


=item B<crop_h, ch>

The computed values of B<crop_w> and B<crop_h>.


=item B<pos_w, pw>


=item B<pos_h, ph>

=item B<in_t, t>

The input frame timestamp, in seconds. NAN if input timestamp is unknown.


=item B<out_t, ot>

The input frame timestamp, in seconds. NAN if input timestamp is unknown.


=item B<n>

The input frame number, starting with 0.

=back



=head4 Scaling

The options in this section control how libplacebo performs upscaling and (if
necessary) downscaling. Note that libplacebo will always internally operate on
4:4:4 content, so any sub-sampled chroma formats such as C<yuv420p> will
necessarily be upsampled and downsampled as part of the rendering process. That
means scaling might be in effect even if the source and destination resolution
are the same.

=over 4


=item B<upscaler>


=item B<downscaler>

Configure the filter kernel used for upscaling and downscaling. The respective
defaults are C<spline36> and C<mitchell>. For a full list of possible
values, pass C<help> to these options. The most important values are:

=over 4



=item B<none>

Forces the use of built-in GPU texture sampling (typically bilinear). Extremely
fast but poor quality, especially when downscaling.


=item B<bilinear>

Bilinear interpolation. Can generally be done for free on GPUs, except when
doing so would lead to aliasing. Fast and low quality.


=item B<nearest>

Nearest-neighbour interpolation. Sharp but highly aliasing.


=item B<oversample>

Algorithm that looks visually similar to nearest-neighbour interpolation but
tries to preserve pixel aspect ratio. Good for pixel art, since it results in
minimal distortion of the artistic appearance.


=item B<lanczos>

Standard sinc-sinc interpolation kernel.


=item B<spline36>

Cubic spline approximation of lanczos. No difference in performance, but has
very slightly less ringing.


=item B<ewa_lanczos>

Elliptically weighted average version of lanczos, based on a jinc-sinc kernel.
This is also popularly referred to as just "Jinc scaling". Slow but very high
quality.


=item B<gaussian>

Gaussian kernel. Has certain ideal mathematical properties, but subjectively
very blurry.


=item B<mitchell>

Cubic BC spline with parameters recommended by Mitchell and Netravali. Very
little ringing.

=back



=item B<frame_mixer>

Controls the kernel used for mixing frames temporally. The default value is
C<none>, which disables frame mixing. For a full list of possible values,
pass C<help> to this option. The most important values are:

=over 4


=item B<none>

Disables frame mixing, giving a result equivalent to "nearest neighbour"
semantics.


=item B<oversample>

Oversamples the input video to create a "Smooth Motion"-type effect: if an
output frame would exactly fall on the transition between two video frames, it
is blended according to the relative overlap. This is the recommended option
whenever preserving the original subjective appearance is desired.


=item B<mitchell_clamp>

Larger filter kernel that smoothly interpolates multiple frames in a manner
designed to eliminate ringing and other artefacts as much as possible. This is
the recommended option wherever maximum visual smoothness is desired.


=item B<linear>

Linear blend/fade between frames. Especially useful for constructing e.g.
slideshows.

=item B<lut_entries>

Configures the size of scaler LUTs, ranging from C<1> to C<256>. The
default of C<0> will pick libplacebo's internal default, typically
C<64>.


=item B<antiringing>

Enables anti-ringing (for non-EWA filters). The value (between C<0.0> and
C<1.0>) configures the strength of the anti-ringing algorithm. May increase
aliasing if set too high. Disabled by default.


=item B<sigmoid>

Enable sigmoidal compression during upscaling. Reduces ringing slightly.
Enabled by default.

=back



=head4 Debanding

Libplacebo comes with a built-in debanding filter that is good at counteracting
many common sources of banding and blocking. Turning this on is highly
recommended whenever quality is desired.

=over 4


=item B<deband>

Enable (fast) debanding algorithm. Disabled by default.


=item B<deband_iterations>

Number of deband iterations of the debanding algorithm. Each iteration is
performed with progressively increased radius (and diminished threshold).
Recommended values are in the range C<1> to C<4>. Defaults to C<1>.


=item B<deband_threshold>

Debanding filter strength. Higher numbers lead to more aggressive debanding.
Defaults to C<4.0>.


=item B<deband_radius>

Debanding filter radius. A higher radius is better for slow gradients, while
a lower radius is better for steep gradients. Defaults to C<16.0>.


=item B<deband_grain>

Amount of extra output grain to add. Helps hide imperfections. Defaults to
C<6.0>.

=back



=head4 Color adjustment

A collection of subjective color controls. Not very rigorous, so the exact
effect will vary somewhat depending on the input primaries and colorspace.

=over 4


=item B<brightness>

Brightness boost, between C<-1.0> and C<1.0>. Defaults to C<0.0>.


=item B<contrast>

Contrast gain, between C<0.0> and C<16.0>. Defaults to C<1.0>.


=item B<saturation>

Saturation gain, between C<0.0> and C<16.0>. Defaults to C<1.0>.


=item B<hue>

Hue shift in radians, between C<-3.14> and C<3.14>. Defaults to
C<0.0>. This will rotate the UV subvector, defaulting to BT.709
coefficients for RGB inputs.


=item B<gamma>

Gamma adjustment, between C<0.0> and C<16.0>. Defaults to C<1.0>.


=item B<cones>

Cone model to use for color blindness simulation. Accepts any combination of
C<l>, C<m> and C<s>. Here are some examples:

=over 4


=item B<m>

Deuteranomaly / deuteranopia (affecting 3%-4% of the population)

=item B<l>

Protanomaly / protanopia (affecting 1%-2% of the population)

=item B<l+m>

Monochromacy (very rare)

=item B<l+m+s>

Achromatopsy (complete loss of daytime vision, extremely rare)

=back



=item B<cone-strength>

Gain factor for the cones specified by C<cones>, between C<0.0> and
C<10.0>. A value of C<1.0> results in no change to color vision. A
value of C<0.0> (the default) simulates complete loss of those cones. Values
above C<1.0> result in exaggerating the differences between cones, which
may help compensate for reduced color vision.

=back



=head4 Peak detection

To help deal with sources that only have static HDR10 metadata (or no tagging
whatsoever), libplacebo uses its own internal frame analysis compute shader to
analyze source frames and adapt the tone mapping function in realtime. If this
is too slow, or if exactly reproducible frame-perfect results are needed, it's
recommended to turn this feature off.

=over 4


=item B<peak_detect>

Enable HDR peak detection. Ignores static MaxCLL/MaxFALL values in favor of
dynamic detection from the input. Note that the detected values do not get
written back to the output frames, they merely guide the internal tone mapping
process. Enabled by default.


=item B<smoothing_period>

Peak detection smoothing period, between C<0.0> and C<1000.0>. Higher
values result in peak detection becoming less responsive to changes in the
input. Defaults to C<100.0>.


=item B<minimum_peak>

Lower bound on the detected peak (relative to SDR white), between C<0.0>
and C<100.0>. Defaults to C<1.0>.


=item B<scene_threshold_low>


=item B<scene_threshold_high>

Lower and upper thresholds for scene change detection. Expressed in a
logarithmic scale between C<0.0> and C<100.0>. Default to C<5.5>
and C<10.0>, respectively. Setting either to a negative value disables
this functionality.


=item B<percentile>

Which percentile of the frame brightness histogram to use as the source peak
for tone-mapping. Defaults to C<99.995>, a fairly conservative value.
Setting this to C<100.0> disables frame histogram measurement and instead
uses the true peak brightness for tone-mapping.

=back



=head4 Tone mapping

The options in this section control how libplacebo performs tone-mapping and
gamut-mapping when dealing with mismatches between wide-gamut or HDR content.
In general, libplacebo relies on accurate source tagging and mastering display
gamut information to produce the best results.

=over 4


=item B<gamut_mode>

How to handle out-of-gamut colors that can occur as a result of colorimetric
gamut mapping.

=over 4


=item B<clip>

Do nothing, simply clip out-of-range colors to the RGB volume. Low quality but
extremely fast.

=item B<perceptual>

Perceptually soft-clip colors to the gamut volume. This is the default.

=item B<relative>

Relative colorimetric hard-clip. Similar to C<perceptual> but without
the soft knee.

=item B<saturation>

Saturation mapping, maps primaries directly to primaries in RGB space.
Not recommended except for artificial computer graphics for which a bright,
saturated display is desired.

=item B<absolute>

Absolute colorimetric hard-clip. Performs no adjustment of the white point.

=item B<desaturate>

Hard-desaturates out-of-gamut colors towards white, while preserving the
luminance. Has a tendency to distort the visual appearance of bright objects.

=item B<darken>

Linearly reduces content brightness to preserves saturated details, followed by
clipping the remaining out-of-gamut colors.

=item B<warn>

Highlight out-of-gamut pixels (by inverting/marking them).

=item B<linear>

Linearly reduces chromaticity of the entire image to make it fit within the
target color volume. Be careful when using this on BT.2020 sources without
proper mastering metadata, as doing so will lead to excessive desaturation.

=back



=item B<tonemapping>

Tone-mapping algorithm to use. Available values are:

=over 4


=item B<auto>

Automatic selection based on internal heuristics. This is the default.

=item B<clip>

Performs no tone-mapping, just clips out-of-range colors. Retains perfect color
accuracy for in-range colors but completely destroys out-of-range information.
Does not perform any black point adaptation. Not configurable.

=item B<st2094-40>

EETF from SMPTE ST 2094-40 Annex B, which applies the Bezier curves from HDR10+
dynamic metadata based on Bezier curves to perform tone-mapping. The OOTF used
is adjusted based on the ratio between the targeted and actual display peak
luminances.

=item B<st2094-10>

EETF from SMPTE ST 2094-10 Annex B.2, which takes into account the input signal
average luminance in addition to the maximum/minimum. The configurable contrast
parameter influences the slope of the linear output segment, defaulting to
C<1.0> for no increase/decrease in contrast. Note that this does not
currently include the subjective gain/offset/gamma controls defined in Annex
B.3.

=item B<bt.2390>

EETF from the ITU-R Report BT.2390, a hermite spline roll-off with linear
segment. The knee point offset is configurable. Note that this parameter
defaults to C<1.0>, rather than the value of C<0.5> from the ITU-R
spec.

=item B<bt.2446a>

EETF from ITU-R Report BT.2446, method A. Designed for well-mastered HDR
sources. Can be used for both forward and inverse tone mapping. Not
configurable.

=item B<spline>

Simple spline consisting of two polynomials, joined by a single pivot point.
The parameter gives the pivot point (in PQ space), defaulting to C<0.30>.
Can be used for both forward and inverse tone mapping.

=item B<reinhard>

Simple non-linear, global tone mapping algorithm. The parameter specifies the
local contrast coefficient at the display peak. Essentially, a parameter of
C<0.5> implies that the reference white will be about half as bright as
when clipping. Defaults to C<0.5>, which results in the simplest
formulation of this function.

=item B<mobius>

Generalization of the reinhard tone mapping algorithm to support an additional
linear slope near black. The tone mapping parameter indicates the trade-off
between the linear section and the non-linear section. Essentially, for a given
parameter I<x>, every color value below I<x> will be mapped linearly,
while higher values get non-linearly tone-mapped. Values near C<1.0> make
this curve behave like C<clip>, while values near C<0.0> make this
curve behave like C<reinhard>. The default value is C<0.3>, which
provides a good balance between colorimetric accuracy and preserving
out-of-gamut details.

=item B<hable>

Piece-wise, filmic tone-mapping algorithm developed by John Hable for use in
Uncharted 2, inspired by a similar tone-mapping algorithm used by Kodak.
Popularized by its use in video games with HDR rendering. Preserves both dark
and bright details very well, but comes with the drawback of changing the
average brightness quite significantly. This is sort of similar to
C<reinhard> with parameter C<0.24>.

=item B<gamma>

Fits a gamma (power) function to transfer between the source and target color
spaces, effectively resulting in a perceptual hard-knee joining two roughly
linear sections. This preserves details at all scales fairly accurately, but
can result in an image with a muted or dull appearance. The parameter is used
as the cutoff point, defaulting to C<0.5>.

=item B<linear>

Linearly stretches the input range to the output range, in PQ space. This will
preserve all details accurately, but results in a significantly different
average brightness. Can be used for inverse tone-mapping in addition to regular
tone-mapping. The parameter can be used as an additional linear gain
coefficient (defaulting to C<1.0>).

=back



=item B<tonemapping_param>

For tunable tone mapping functions, this parameter can be used to fine-tune the
curve behavior. Refer to the documentation of C<tonemapping>. The default
value of C<0.0> is replaced by the curve's preferred default setting.


=item B<inverse_tonemapping>

If enabled, this filter will also attempt stretching SDR signals to fill HDR
output color volumes. Disabled by default.


=item B<tonemapping_lut_size>

Size of the tone-mapping LUT, between C<2> and C<1024>. Defaults to
C<256>. Note that this figure is squared when combined with
C<peak_detect>.


=item B<contrast_recovery>

Contrast recovery strength. If set to a value above C<0.0>, the source
image will be divided into high-frequency and low-frequency components, and a
portion of the high-frequency image is added back onto the tone-mapped output.
May cause excessive ringing artifacts for some HDR sources, but can improve the
subjective sharpness and detail left over in the image after tone-mapping.
Defaults to C<0.30>.


=item B<contrast_smoothness>

Contrast recovery lowpass kernel size. Defaults to C<3.5>. Increasing or
decreasing this will affect the visual appearance substantially. Has no effect
when C<contrast_recovery> is disabled.

=back



=head4 Dithering

By default, libplacebo will dither whenever necessary, which includes rendering
to any integer format below 16-bit precision. It's recommended to always leave
this on, since not doing so may result in visible banding in the output, even
if the C<debanding> filter is enabled. If maximum performance is needed,
use C<ordered_fixed> instead of disabling dithering.

=over 4


=item B<dithering>

Dithering method to use. Accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<none>

Disables dithering completely. May result in visible banding.

=item B<blue>

Dither with pseudo-blue noise. This is the default.

=item B<ordered>

Tunable ordered dither pattern.

=item B<ordered_fixed>

Faster ordered dither with a fixed size of C<6>. Texture-less.

=item B<white>

Dither with white noise. Texture-less.

=back



=item B<dither_lut_size>

Dither LUT size, as log base2 between C<1> and C<8>. Defaults to
C<6>, corresponding to a LUT size of C<64x64>.


=item B<dither_temporal>

Enables temporal dithering. Disabled by default.

=back



=head4 Custom shaders

libplacebo supports a number of custom shaders based on the mpv .hook GLSL
syntax. A collection of such shaders can be found here:
E<lt>B<https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts#user-shaders>E<gt>

A full description of the mpv shader format is beyond the scope of this
section, but a summary can be found here:
E<lt>B<https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-glsl-shader>E<gt>

=over 4


=item B<custom_shader_path>

Specifies a path to a custom shader file to load at runtime.


=item B<custom_shader_bin>

Specifies a complete custom shader as a raw string.

=back



=head4 Debugging / performance

All of the options in this section default off. They may be of assistance when
attempting to squeeze the maximum performance at the cost of quality.

=over 4


=item B<skip_aa>

Disable anti-aliasing when downscaling.


=item B<polar_cutoff>

Truncate polar (EWA) scaler kernels below this absolute magnitude, between
C<0.0> and C<1.0>.


=item B<disable_linear>

Disable linear light scaling.


=item B<disable_builtin>

Disable built-in GPU sampling (forces LUT).


=item B<disable_fbos>

Forcibly disable FBOs, resulting in loss of almost all functionality, but
offering the maximum possible speed.

=back



=head3 Commands

This filter supports almost all of the above options as B<commands>.

I<minval>-I<maxval> range; it corresponds to the expression
"maxval-clipval+minval".


=item B<clip(val)>

The computed value in I<val>, clipped to the
I<minval>-I<maxval> range.


=item B<gammaval(gamma)>

clipped to the I<minval>-I<maxval> range. It corresponds to the
expression
"pow((clipval-minval)/(maxval-minval)\,I<gamma>)*(maxval-minval)+minval"

sufficient for a pixel or whether it should be predicted by the predictor nn.
The computational complexity of the prescreener nn is much less than that of
the predictor nn. Since most pixels can be handled by cubic interpolation,
using the prescreener generally results in much faster processing.

=head2 normalize


Normalize RGB video (aka histogram stretching, contrast stretching).
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_(image_processing)

For each channel of each frame, the filter computes the input range and maps
it linearly to the user-specified output range. The output range defaults
to the full dynamic range from pure black to pure white.

Temporal smoothing can be used on the input range to reduce flickering (rapid
changes in brightness) caused when small dark or bright objects enter or leave
the scene. This is similar to the auto-exposure (automatic gain control) on a
video camera, and, like a video camera, it may cause a period of over- or
under-exposure of the video.

The R,G,B channels can be normalized independently, which may cause some
color shifting, or linked together as a single channel, which prevents
color shifting. Linked normalization preserves hue. Independent normalization
does not, so it can be used to remove some color casts. Independent and linked
normalization can be combined in any ratio.

The normalize filter accepts the following options:


=over 4

=item B<whitept>

Colors which define the output range. The minimum input value is mapped to
the I<blackpt>. The maximum input value is mapped to the I<whitept>.
The defaults are black and white respectively. Specifying white for
I<blackpt> and black for I<whitept> will give color-inverted,
normalized video. Shades of grey can be used to reduce the dynamic range
(contrast). Specifying saturated colors here can create some interesting
effects.


=item B<smoothing>

The number of previous frames to use for temporal smoothing. The input range
of each channel is smoothed using a rolling average over the current frame
and the I<smoothing> previous frames. The default is 0 (no temporal
smoothing).


=item B<independence>

Controls the ratio of independent (color shifting) channel normalization to
linked (color preserving) normalization. 0.0 is fully linked, 1.0 is fully
independent. Defaults to 1.0 (fully independent).


=item B<strength>

Overall strength of the filter. 1.0 is full strength. 0.0 is a rather
expensive no-op. Defaults to 1.0 (full strength).


=back



=head3 Commands

This filter supports same B<commands> as options, excluding I<smoothing> option.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current
value.


=head3 Examples


Stretch video contrast to use the full dynamic range, with no temporal
smoothing; may flicker depending on the source content:
	
	normalize=blackpt=black:whitept=white:smoothing=0


As above, but with 50 frames of temporal smoothing; flicker should be
reduced, depending on the source content:
	
	normalize=blackpt=black:whitept=white:smoothing=50


As above, but with hue-preserving linked channel normalization:
	
	normalize=blackpt=black:whitept=white:smoothing=50:independence=0


As above, but with half strength:
	
	normalize=blackpt=black:whitept=white:smoothing=50:independence=0:strength=0.5


Map the darkest input color to red, the brightest input color to cyan:
	
	normalize=blackpt=red:whitept=cyan



=head2 null


Pass the video source unchanged to the output.


=head2 ocr

Optical Character Recognition

=back


The filter exports recognized text as the frame metadata C<lavfi.ocr.text>.
The filter exports confidence of recognized words as the frame metadata C<lavfi.ocr.confidence>.


=head2 ocv


Apply a video transform using libopencv.

To enable this filter, install the libopencv library and headers and
configure FFmpeg with C<--enable-libopencv>.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<filter_name>

The name of the libopencv filter to apply.


=item B<filter_params>

The parameters to pass to the libopencv filter. If not specified, the default
values are assumed.


=back


Refer to the official libopencv documentation for more precise
information:
E<lt>B<http://docs.opencv.org/master/modules/imgproc/doc/filtering.html>E<gt>

Several libopencv filters are supported; see the following subsections.



=head3 dilate


Dilate an image by using a specific structuring element.
It corresponds to the libopencv function C<cvDilate>.

It accepts the parameters: I<struct_el>|I<nb_iterations>.

I<struct_el> represents a structuring element, and has the syntax:
I<cols>xI<rows>+I<anchor_x>xI<anchor_y>/I<shape>

I<cols> and I<rows> represent the number of columns and rows of
the structuring element, I<anchor_x> and I<anchor_y> the anchor
point, and I<shape> the shape for the structuring element. I<shape>
must be "rect", "cross", "ellipse", or "custom".

If the value for I<shape> is "custom", it must be followed by a
string of the form "=I<filename>". The file with name
I<filename> is assumed to represent a binary image, with each
printable character corresponding to a bright pixel. When a custom
I<shape> is used, I<cols> and I<rows> are ignored, the number
or columns and rows of the read file are assumed instead.

The default value for I<struct_el> is "3x3+0x0/rect".

I<nb_iterations> specifies the number of times the transform is
applied to the image, and defaults to 1.

Some examples:
	
	# Use the default values
	ocv=dilate
	
	# Dilate using a structuring element with a 5x5 cross, iterating two times
	ocv=filter_name=dilate:filter_params=5x5+2x2/cross|2
	
	# Read the shape from the file diamond.shape, iterating two times.
	# The file diamond.shape may contain a pattern of characters like this
	#   *
	#  ***
	# *****
	#  ***
	#   *
	# The specified columns and rows are ignored
	# but the anchor point coordinates are not
	ocv=dilate:0x0+2x2/custom=diamond.shape|2



=head3 erode


Erode an image by using a specific structuring element.
It corresponds to the libopencv function C<cvErode>.

It accepts the parameters: I<struct_el>:I<nb_iterations>,
with the same syntax and semantics as the B<dilate> filter.


=head3 smooth


Smooth the input video.

The filter takes the following parameters:
I<type>|I<param1>|I<param2>|I<param3>|I<param4>.

I<type> is the type of smooth filter to apply, and must be one of
the following values: "blur", "blur_no_scale", "median", "gaussian",
or "bilateral". The default value is "gaussian".

The meaning of I<param1>, I<param2>, I<param3>, and I<param4>
depends on the smooth type. I<param1> and
I<param2> accept integer positive values or 0. I<param3> and
I<param4> accept floating point values.

The default value for I<param1> is 3. The default value for the
other parameters is 0.

These parameters correspond to the parameters assigned to the
libopencv function C<cvSmooth>.

video on which the second input is overlaid.

It accepts the following parameters:

A description of the accepted options follows.


=over 4


=item B<x>


=item B<y>

Set the expression for the x and y coordinates of the overlaid video
on the main video. Default value is "0" for both expressions. In case
the expression is invalid, it is set to a huge value (meaning that the
overlay will not be displayed within the output visible area).

=item B<pos>

the position in the file of the input frame, NAN if unknown; deprecated,
do not use


=item B<t>

=back


This filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

Note that the I<n>, I<t> variables are available only
when evaluation is done I<per frame>, and will evaluate to NAN
when B<eval> is set to B<init>.

Be aware that frames are taken from each input video in timestamp
order, hence, if their initial timestamps differ, it is a good idea
to pass the two inputs through a I<setpts=PTS-STARTPTS> filter to
have them begin in the same zero timestamp, as the example for
the I<movie> filter does.

You can chain together more overlays but you should test the
efficiency of such approach.


=head3 Commands


This filter supports the following commands:

=over 4


=item B<x>


=item B<y>

Modify the x and y of the overlay input.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4


=item B<width, w>


=item B<height, h>

Specify an expression for the size of the output image with the
paddings added. If the value for I<width> or I<height> is 0, the
corresponding input size is used for the output.

The I<width> expression can reference the value set by the
I<height> expression, and vice versa.

The default value of I<width> and I<height> is 0.


=item B<x>


=item B<y>

Specify the offsets to place the input image at within the padded area,
with respect to the top/left border of the output image.

The I<x> expression can reference the value set by the I<y>
expression, and vice versa.

The default value of I<x> and I<y> is 0.

If I<x> or I<y> evaluate to a negative number, they'll be changed
so the input image is centered on the padded area.


=item B<color>

Specify the color of the padded area. For the syntax of this option,
check the B<"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual>.

The default value of I<color> is "black".

pixel format "yuv422p" I<hsub> is 2 and I<vsub> is 1.

=back



=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Add paddings with the color "violet" to the input video. The output video
size is 640x480, and the top-left corner of the input video is placed at
column 0, row 40
	
	pad=640:480:0:40:violet


The example above is equivalent to the following command:
	
	pad=width=640:height=480:x=0:y=40:color=violet



=item *

Pad the input to get an output with dimensions increased by 3/2,
and put the input video at the center of the padded area:
	
	pad="3/2*iw:3/2*ih:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2"



=item *

Pad the input to get a squared output with size equal to the maximum
value between the input width and height, and put the input video at
the center of the padded area:
	
	pad="max(iw\,ih):ow:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2"



=item *

Pad the input to get a final w/h ratio of 16:9:
	
	pad="ih*16/9:ih:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2"



=item *

In case of anamorphic video, in order to set the output display aspect
correctly, it is necessary to use I<sar> in the expression,
according to the relation:
	
	(ih * X / ih) * sar = output_dar
	X = output_dar / sar


Thus the previous example needs to be modified to:
	
	pad="ih*16/9/sar:ih:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2"



=item *

Double the output size and put the input video in the bottom-right
corner of the output padded area:
	
	pad="2*iw:2*ih:ow-iw:oh-ih"


=back

Note: the palette will still contain 256 colors; the unused palette entries
will be black.


=item B<reserve_transparent>

Create a palette of 255 colors maximum and reserve the last one for
transparency. Reserving the transparency color is useful for GIF optimization.
If not set, the maximum of colors in the palette will be 256. You probably want
to disable this option for a standalone image.
Set by default.


=item B<transparency_color>

Set the color that will be used as background for transparency.

Set statistics mode.

It accepts the following values:

=over 4

might be relevant to give more importance to the moving part of your input if
the background is static.

=item B<single>

Compute new histogram for each frame.

=back


Default value is I<full>.

=back


The filter also exports the frame metadata C<lavfi.color_quant_ratio>
(C<nb_color_in / nb_color_out>) which you can use to evaluate the degree of
color quantization of the palette. This information is also visible at
I<info> logging level.

=over 4


=item B<bayer>

Ordered 8x8 bayer dithering (deterministic)

=item B<heckbert>

Note: this dithering is sometimes considered "wrong" and is included as a
reference.

=item B<floyd_steinberg>

Atkinson dithering by Bill Atkinson at Apple Computer (error diffusion)

=item B<none>

Disable dithering.

=back


Default is I<sierra2_4a>.


=item B<bayer_scale>

When I<bayer> dithering is selected, this option defines the scale of the
pattern (how much the crosshatch pattern is visible). A low value means more
visible pattern for less banding, and higher value means less visible pattern
at the cost of more banding.

The option must be an integer value in the range [0,5]. Default is I<2>.


=item B<diff_mode>

If set, define the zone to process


=over 4


=item B<rectangle>

Only the changing rectangle will be reprocessed. This is similar to GIF
cropping/offsetting compression mechanism. This option can be useful for speed
if only a part of the image is changing, and has use cases such as limiting the
scope of the error diffusal B<dither> to the rectangle that bounds the
moving scene (it leads to more deterministic output if the scene doesn't change
much, and as a result less moving noise and better GIF compression).

=back


Default is I<none>.


=item B<new>

Take new palette for each output frame.


=item B<alpha_threshold>

Sets the alpha threshold for transparency. Alpha values above this threshold
will be treated as completely opaque, and values below this threshold will be
treated as completely transparent.

The option must be an integer value in the range [0,255]. Default is I<128>.

=head2 psnr


Obtain the average, maximum and minimum PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise
Ratio) between two input videos.

This filter takes in input two input videos, the first input is
considered the "main" source and is passed unchanged to the
output. The second input is used as a "reference" video for computing
the PSNR.

Both video inputs must have the same resolution and pixel format for
this filter to work correctly. Also it assumes that both inputs
have the same number of frames, which are compared one by one.

The obtained average PSNR is printed through the logging system.

The filter stores the accumulated MSE (mean squared error) of each
frame, and at the end of the processing it is averaged across all frames
equally, and the following formula is applied to obtain the PSNR:

	
	PSNR = 10*log10(MAX^2/MSE)


Where MAX is the average of the maximum values of each component of the
image.

The description of the accepted parameters follows.


=over 4


=item B<stats_file, f>

If specified the filter will use the named file to save the PSNR of
each individual frame. When filename equals "-" the data is sent to
standard output.


=item B<stats_version>

each format are written below.
Default value is 1.


=item B<stats_add_max>

Requires stats_version E<gt>= 2. If this is set and stats_version E<lt> 2,
the filter will return an error.

=back


This filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

The file printed if I<stats_file> is selected, contains a sequence of
key/value pairs of the form I<key>:I<value> for each compared
couple of frames.

If a I<stats_version> greater than 1 is specified, a header line precedes
the list of per-frame-pair stats, with key value pairs following the frame
format with the following parameters:


=over 4


=item B<psnr_log_version>

The version of the log file format. Will match I<stats_version>.

=head2 pullup


Pulldown reversal (inverse telecine) filter, capable of handling mixed
hard-telecine, 24000/1001 fps progressive, and 30000/1001 fps progressive
content.

The pullup filter is designed to take advantage of future context in making
its decisions. This filter is stateless in the sense that it does not lock
onto a pattern to follow, but it instead looks forward to the following
fields in order to identify matches and rebuild progressive frames.

To produce content with an even framerate, insert the fps filter after
pullup, use C<fps=24000/1001> if the input frame rate is 29.97fps,
C<fps=24> for 30fps and the (rare) telecined 25fps input.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<jl>


=item B<jr>


=item B<jt>


=item B<jb>

These options set the amount of "junk" to ignore at the left, right, top, and
bottom of the image, respectively. Left and right are in units of 8 pixels,
while top and bottom are in units of 2 lines.
The default is 8 pixels on each side.


=item B<sb>

Set the strict breaks. Setting this option to 1 will reduce the chances of
filter generating an occasional mismatched frame, but it may also cause an
excessive number of frames to be dropped during high motion sequences.
Conversely, setting it to -1 will make filter match fields more easily.
This may help processing of video where there is slight blurring between
the fields, but may also cause there to be interlaced frames in the output.
Default value is C<0>.


=item B<mp>

Set the metric plane to use. It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<l>

Use luma plane.


=item B<u>

Use chroma blue plane.


=item B<v>

Use chroma red plane.

=back


This option may be set to use chroma plane instead of the default luma plane
for doing filter's computations. This may improve accuracy on very clean
source material, but more likely will decrease accuracy, especially if there
is chroma noise (rainbow effect) or any grayscale video.
The main purpose of setting B<mp> to a chroma plane is to reduce CPU
load and make pullup usable in realtime on slow machines.

=back


For best results (without duplicated frames in the output file) it is
necessary to change the output frame rate. For example, to inverse
telecine NTSC input:
	
	ffmpeg -i input -vf pullup -r 24000/1001 ...



=head2 qp

Set the filter bitmap file, which can be any image format supported by
libavformat. The width and height of the image file must match those of the
video stream being processed.

=back


Pixels in the provided bitmap image with a value of zero are not
considered part of the logo, non-zero pixels are considered part of
the logo. If you use white (255) for the logo and black (0) for the
rest, you will be safe. For making the filter bitmap, it is
recommended to take a screen capture of a black frame with the logo
visible, and then using a threshold filter followed by the erode
filter once or twice.

If needed, little splotches can be fixed manually. Remember that if
logo pixels are not covered, the filter quality will be much
reduced. Marking too many pixels as part of the logo does not hurt as
much, but it will increase the amount of blurring needed to cover over
the image and will destroy more information than necessary, and extra
pixels will slow things down on a large logo.

=back


Each chroma option value, if not explicitly specified, is set to the
corresponding luma option value.



=head2 scale


Scale (resize) the input video, using the libswscale library.

The scale filter forces the output display aspect ratio to be the same
of the input, by changing the output sample aspect ratio.

If the input image format is different from the format requested by
the next filter, the scale filter will convert the input to the
requested format.


=head3 Options

The filter accepts the following options, or any of the options
supported by the libswscale scaler.

See B<the ffmpeg-scaler manual> for
the complete list of scaler options.


=over 4


=item B<width, w>


=item B<height, h>

Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input
dimension.

If the I<width> or I<w> value is 0, the input width is used for
the output. If the I<height> or I<h> value is 0, the input height
is used for the output.

If one and only one of the values is -n with n E<gt>= 1, the scale filter
will use a value that maintains the aspect ratio of the input image,
calculated from the other specified dimension. After that it will,
however, make sure that the calculated dimension is divisible by n and
adjust the value if necessary.

If both values are -n with n E<gt>= 1, the behavior will be identical to
both values being set to 0 as previously detailed.

See below for the list of accepted constants for use in the dimension
expression.


=item B<eval>

Specify when to evaluate I<width> and I<height> expression. It accepts the following values:


=over 4

=item B<0>

Do not apply interlaced scaling.


=item B<-1>

Select interlaced aware scaling depending on whether the source frames
are flagged as interlaced or not.

=back


Default value is B<0>.


=item B<flags>

Set libswscale scaling flags. See
B<the ffmpeg-scaler manual> for the
complete list of values. If not explicitly specified the filter applies
the default flags.



=item B<param0, param1>

Set libswscale input parameters for scaling algorithms that need them. See
B<the ffmpeg-scaler manual> for the
complete documentation. If not explicitly specified the filter applies
empty parameters.




=item B<size, s>

B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.


=item B<in_color_matrix>


=item B<out_color_matrix>

Set in/output YCbCr color space type.

This allows the autodetected value to be overridden as well as allows forcing
a specific value used for the output and encoder.

If not specified, the color space type depends on the pixel format.

Possible values:


=over 4


=item B<auto>

Choose automatically.


=item B<bt709>

Format conforming to International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Recommendation BT.709.

Set color space conforming to ITU-R BT.2020 non-constant luminance system.

=back



=item B<in_range>


=item B<out_range>

Set in/output YCbCr sample range.

This allows the autodetected value to be overridden as well as allows forcing
a specific value used for the output and encoder. If not specified, the
range depends on the pixel format. Possible values:


=over 4


=item B<auto/unknown>

Choose automatically.


=item B<jpeg/full/pc>

Set full range (0-255 in case of 8-bit luma).

=item B<decrease>

The output video dimensions will automatically be decreased if needed.


=item B<increase>

=back


One useful instance of this option is that when you know a specific device's
maximum allowed resolution, you can use this to limit the output video to
that, while retaining the aspect ratio. For example, device A allows
1280x720 playback, and your video is 1920x800. Using this option (set it to
decrease) and specifying 1280x720 to the command line makes the output
1280x533.

Please note that this is a different thing than specifying -1 for B<w>
or B<h>, you still need to specify the output resolution for this option
to work.


=item B<force_divisible_by>

Ensures that both the output dimensions, width and height, are divisible by the
given integer when used together with B<force_original_aspect_ratio>. This
works similar to using C<-n> in the B<w> and B<h> options.

This option respects the value set for B<force_original_aspect_ratio>,
increasing or decreasing the resolution accordingly. The video's aspect ratio
may be slightly modified.

This option can be handy if you need to have a video fit within or exceed
a defined resolution using B<force_original_aspect_ratio> but also have
encoder restrictions on width or height divisibility.

=head2 separatefields


The C<separatefields> takes a frame-based video input and splits
each frame into its components fields, producing a new half height clip
with twice the frame rate and twice the frame count.

This filter use field-dominance information in frame to decide which
of each pair of fields to place first in the output.
If it gets it wrong use B<setfield> filter before C<separatefields> filter.


=head2 setdar, setsar


The C<setdar> filter sets the Display Aspect Ratio for the filter
output video.

This is done by changing the specified Sample (aka Pixel) Aspect
Ratio, according to the following equation:
	
	<DAR> = <HORIZONTAL_RESOLUTION> / <VERTICAL_RESOLUTION> * <SAR>


Keep in mind that the C<setdar> filter does not modify the pixel
dimensions of the video frame. Also, the display aspect ratio set by
this filter may be changed by later filters in the filterchain,
e.g. in case of scaling or if another "setdar" or a "setsar" filter is
applied.

The C<setsar> filter sets the Sample (aka Pixel) Aspect Ratio for
the filter output video.

Note that as a consequence of the application of this filter, the
output display aspect ratio will change according to the equation
above.

Keep in mind that the sample aspect ratio set by the C<setsar>
filter may be changed by later filters in the filterchain, e.g. if
another "setsar" or a "setdar" filter is applied.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4


=item B<r, ratio, dar (C<setdar> only), sar (C<setsar> only)>

Set the aspect ratio used by the filter.

The parameter can be a floating point number string, or an expression. If the
parameter is not specified, the value "0" is assumed, meaning that the same
input value is used.


=item B<max>

Set the maximum integer value to use for expressing numerator and
denominator when reducing the expressed aspect ratio to a rational.
Default value is C<100>.

whether a pixel should be blurred or not. The option value must be an
integer in the range [-30,30]. A value of 0 will filter all the image,
a value included in [0,30] will filter flat areas and a value included
in [-30,0] will filter edges. Default value is 0.


=item B<chroma_radius, cr>

Set the chroma radius. The option value must be a float number in
the range [0.1,5.0] that specifies the variance of the gaussian filter
used to blur the image (slower if larger). Default value is B<luma_radius>.


=item B<chroma_strength, cs>

Set the chroma strength. The option value must be a float number
in the range [-1.0,1.0] that configures the blurring. A value included
in [0.0,1.0] will blur the image whereas a value included in
[-1.0,0.0] will sharpen the image. Default value is B<luma_strength>.


=item B<chroma_threshold, ct>

Set the chroma threshold used as a coefficient to determine
whether a pixel should be blurred or not. The option value must be an
integer in the range [-30,30]. A value of 0 will filter all the image,
a value included in [0,30] will filter flat areas and a value included
in [-30,0] will filter edges. Default value is B<luma_threshold>.

=head2 ssim


Obtain the SSIM (Structural SImilarity Metric) between two input videos.

This filter takes in input two input videos, the first input is
considered the "main" source and is passed unchanged to the
output. The second input is used as a "reference" video for computing
the SSIM.

Both video inputs must have the same resolution and pixel format for
this filter to work correctly. Also it assumes that both inputs
have the same number of frames, which are compared one by one.

The filter stores the calculated SSIM of each frame.

The description of the accepted parameters follows.


=over 4


=item B<stats_file, f>

If specified the filter will use the named file to save the SSIM of
each individual frame. When filename equals "-" the data is sent to
standard output.

=back


The file printed if I<stats_file> is selected, contains a sequence of
key/value pairs of the form I<key>:I<value> for each compared
couple of frames.

A description of each shown parameter follows:


=over 4


=item B<n>

sequential number of the input frame, starting from 1


=item B<Y, U, V, R, G, B>

SSIM of the compared frames for the component specified by the suffix.


=item B<All>

On this example the input file being processed is compared with the
reference file F<ref_movie.mpg>. The SSIM of each individual frame
is stored in F<stats.log>.


=item *

Another example with both psnr and ssim at same time:
	
	ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi  "ssim;[0:v][1:v]psnr" -f null -

=head2 subtitles


Draw subtitles on top of input video using the libass library.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with
C<--enable-libass>. This filter also requires a build with libavcodec and

=item B<filename, f>

Set the filename of the subtitle file to read. It must be specified.


=item B<original_size>

Specify the size of the original video, the video for which the ASS file
was composed. For the syntax of this option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.
Due to a misdesign in ASS aspect ratio arithmetic, this is necessary to
correctly scale the fonts if the aspect ratio has been changed.


=item B<fontsdir>

Set a directory path containing fonts that can be used by the filter.
These fonts will be used in addition to whatever the font provider uses.

Break lines according to the Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm. Availability requires
at least libass release 0.17.0 (or LIBASS_VERSION 0x01600010), I<and> libass must
have been built with libunibreak.

The option is enabled by default except for native ASS.

=back


If the first key is not specified, it is assumed that the first value
specifies the B<filename>.

For example, to render the file F<sub.srt> on top of the input
video, use the command:
	
	subtitles=sub.srt


which is equivalent to:
	
	subtitles=filename=sub.srt


To render the default subtitles stream from file F<video.mkv>, use:
	
	subtitles=video.mkv


To render the second subtitles stream from that file, use:
	
	subtitles=video.mkv:si=1


To make the subtitles stream from F<sub.srt> appear in 80% transparent blue
C<DejaVu Serif>, use:
	
	subtitles=sub.srt:force_style='Fontname=DejaVu Serif,PrimaryColour=&HCCFF0000'

=back


Numeric values are deprecated but are accepted for backward
compatibility reasons.

Default mode is C<merge>.


=item B<flags>

Specify flags influencing the filter process.

Available value for I<flags> is:


=over 4


=item B<low_pass_filter, vlpf>

Enable linear vertical low-pass filtering in the filter.
Vertical low-pass filtering is required when creating an interlaced
destination from a progressive source which contains high-frequency
vertical detail. Filtering will reduce interlace 'twitter' and Moire
patterning.


=item B<complex_filter, cvlpf>

Enable complex vertical low-pass filtering.
This will slightly less reduce interlace 'twitter' and Moire
patterning but better retain detail and subjective sharpness impression.


=item B<bypass_il>

Bypass already interlaced frames, only adjust the frame rate.

=back


Vertical low-pass filtering and bypassing already interlaced frames can only be
enabled for B<mode> I<interleave_top> and I<interleave_bottom>.


=back



=head2 tmedian

Pick median pixels from several successive input video frames.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<radius>

Set radius of median filter.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 1 to 127.


=item B<planes>

Set which planes to filter. Default value is C<15>, by which all planes are processed.


=item B<percentile>

Set median percentile. Default value is C<0.5>.
Default value of C<0.5> will pick always median values, while C<0> will pick
minimum values, and C<1> maximum values.

=back



=head3 Commands


This filter supports all above options as B<commands>, excluding option C<radius>.


=head2 tmidequalizer


Apply Temporal Midway Video Equalization effect.

Midway Video Equalization adjusts a sequence of video frames to have the same
histograms, while maintaining their dynamics as much as possible. It's
useful for e.g. matching exposures from a video frames sequence.

This filter accepts the following option:


=over 4


=item B<radius>

Set filtering radius. Default is C<5>. Allowed range is from 1 to 127.


=item B<sigma>

Set filtering sigma. Default is C<0.5>. This controls strength of filtering.
Setting this option to 0 effectively does nothing.


=item B<planes>

Set which planes to process. Default is C<15>, which is all available planes.

=back



=head2 tmix


Mix successive video frames.

A description of the accepted options follows.


=over 4


=item B<frames>

The number of successive frames to mix. If unspecified, it defaults to 3.


=item B<weights>

Specify weight of each input video frame.
Each weight is separated by space. If number of weights is smaller than
number of I<frames> last specified weight will be used for all remaining
unset weights.


=item B<scale>

Specify scale, if it is set it will be multiplied with sum
of each weight multiplied with pixel values to give final destination
pixel value. By default I<scale> is auto scaled to sum of weights.


=item B<planes>

Set which planes to filter. Default is all. Allowed range is from 0 to 15.

=back



=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Average 7 successive frames:
	
	tmix=frames=7:weights="1 1 1 1 1 1 1"



=item *

Apply simple temporal convolution:
	
	tmix=frames=3:weights="-1 3 -1"



=item *

Similar as above but only showing temporal differences:
	
	tmix=frames=3:weights="-1 2 -1":scale=1


=back



=head3 Commands


This filter supports the following commands:

=over 4


=item B<weights>


=item B<scale>


=item B<planes>

Syntax is same as option with same name.

=back




=head2 tonemap

Tone map colors from different dynamic ranges.

This filter expects data in single precision floating point, as it needs to
operate on (and can output) out-of-range values. Another filter, such as
B<zscale>, is needed to convert the resulting frame to a usable format.

The tonemapping algorithms implemented only work on linear light, so input
data should be linearized beforehand (and possibly correctly tagged).

	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf zscale=transfer=linear,tonemap=clip,zscale=transfer=bt709,format=yuv420p OUTPUT



=head3 Options

The filter accepts the following options.


=over 4


=item B<tonemap>

Set the tone map algorithm to use.

Possible values are:

=over 4


=item I<none>

Do not apply any tone map, only desaturate overbright pixels.


=item I<clip>

Hard-clip any out-of-range values. Use it for perfect color accuracy for
in-range values, while distorting out-of-range values.


=item I<linear>

Stretch the entire reference gamut to a linear multiple of the display.


=item I<gamma>

Fit a logarithmic transfer between the tone curves.


=item I<reinhard>

Preserve overall image brightness with a simple curve, using nonlinear
contrast, which results in flattening details and degrading color accuracy.


=item I<hable>

Preserve both dark and bright details better than I<reinhard>, at the cost
of slightly darkening everything. Use it when detail preservation is more
important than color and brightness accuracy.


=item I<mobius>

Smoothly map out-of-range values, while retaining contrast and colors for
in-range material as much as possible. Use it when color accuracy is more
important than detail preservation.

=back


Default is none.


=item B<param>

Tune the tone mapping algorithm.

This affects the following algorithms:

=over 4


=item I<none>

Ignored.


=item I<linear>

Specifies the scale factor to use while stretching.
Default to 1.0.


=item I<gamma>

Specifies the exponent of the function.
Default to 1.8.


=item I<clip>

Specify an extra linear coefficient to multiply into the signal before clipping.
Default to 1.0.


=item I<reinhard>

Specify the local contrast coefficient at the display peak.
Default to 0.5, which means that in-gamut values will be about half as bright
as when clipping.


=item I<hable>

Ignored.


=item I<mobius>

Specify the transition point from linear to mobius transform. Every value
below this point is guaranteed to be mapped 1:1. The higher the value, the
more accurate the result will be, at the cost of losing bright details.
Default to 0.3, which due to the steep initial slope still preserves in-range
colors fairly accurately.

=back



=item B<desat>

Apply desaturation for highlights that exceed this level of brightness. The
higher the parameter, the more color information will be preserved. This
setting helps prevent unnaturally blown-out colors for super-highlights, by
(smoothly) turning into white instead. This makes images feel more natural,
at the cost of reducing information about out-of-range colors.

The default of 2.0 is somewhat conservative and will mostly just apply to
skies or directly sunlit surfaces. A setting of 0.0 disables this option.

This option works only if the input frame has a supported color tag.


=item B<peak>

Override signal/nominal/reference peak with this value. Useful when the
embedded peak information in display metadata is not reliable or when tone
mapping from a lower range to a higher range.

=back



=head2 tpad


Temporarily pad video frames.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<start>

Specify number of delay frames before input video stream. Default is 0.


=item B<stop>

Specify number of padding frames after input video stream.
Set to -1 to pad indefinitely. Default is 0.


=item B<start_mode>

Set kind of frames added to beginning of stream.
Can be either I<add> or I<clone>.
With I<add> frames of solid-color are added.
With I<clone> frames are clones of first frame.
Default is I<add>.


=item B<stop_mode>

Set kind of frames added to end of stream.
Can be either I<add> or I<clone>.
With I<add> frames of solid-color are added.
With I<clone> frames are clones of last frame.
Default is I<add>.


=item B<start_duration, stop_duration>

Specify the duration of the start/stop delay. See
B<the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual>
for the accepted syntax.
These options override I<start> and I<stop>. Default is 0.


=item B<color>

Specify the color of the padded area. For the syntax of this option,
check the B<"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual>.

The default value of I<color> is "black".

=back




=head2 transpose


Transpose rows with columns in the input video and optionally flip it.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<dir>

Specify the transposition direction.

Can assume the following values:

=over 4


=item B<0, 4, cclock_flip>

Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise and vertically flip (default), that is:
	
	L.R     L.l
	. . ->  . .
	l.r     R.r



=item B<1, 5, clock>

Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise, that is:
	
	L.R     l.L
	. . ->  . .
	l.r     r.R



=item B<2, 6, cclock>

Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise, that is:
	
	L.R     R.r
	. . ->  . .
	l.r     L.l



=item B<3, 7, clock_flip>

Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and vertically flip, that is:
	
	L.R     r.R
	. . ->  . .
	l.r     l.L


=back


For values between 4-7, the transposition is only done if the input
video geometry is portrait and not landscape. These values are
deprecated, the C<passthrough> option should be used instead.

Numerical values are deprecated, and should be dropped in favor of
symbolic constants.


=item B<passthrough>

Do not apply the transposition if the input geometry matches the one
specified by the specified value. It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<none>

Always apply transposition.

=item B<portrait>

Preserve portrait geometry (when I<height> E<gt>= I<width>).

=item B<landscape>

Preserve landscape geometry (when I<width> E<gt>= I<height>).

=back


Default value is C<none>.

=back


For example to rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and preserve portrait
layout:
	
	transpose=dir=1:passthrough=portrait


The command above can also be specified as:
	
	transpose=1:portrait



=head2 transpose_npp


Transpose rows with columns in the input video and optionally flip it.
For more in depth examples see the B<transpose> video filter, which shares mostly the same options.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<dir>

Specify the transposition direction.

Can assume the following values:

=over 4


=item B<cclock_flip>

Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise and vertically flip. (default)


=item B<clock>

Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise.


=item B<cclock>

Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise.


=item B<clock_flip>

Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and vertically flip.

=back



=item B<passthrough>

Do not apply the transposition if the input geometry matches the one
specified by the specified value. It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<none>

Always apply transposition. (default)

=item B<portrait>

Preserve portrait geometry (when I<height> E<gt>= I<width>).

=item B<landscape>

Preserve landscape geometry (when I<width> E<gt>= I<height>).

=back



=back



=head2 trim

Trim the input so that the output contains one continuous subpart of the input.

It accepts the following parameters:

=over 4


=item B<start>

Specify the time of the start of the kept section, i.e. the frame with the
timestamp I<start> will be the first frame in the output.


=item B<end>

Specify the time of the first frame that will be dropped, i.e. the frame
immediately preceding the one with the timestamp I<end> will be the last
frame in the output.


=item B<start_pts>

This is the same as I<start>, except this option sets the start timestamp
in timebase units instead of seconds.


=item B<end_pts>

This is the same as I<end>, except this option sets the end timestamp
in timebase units instead of seconds.


=item B<duration>

The maximum duration of the output in seconds.


=item B<start_frame>

The number of the first frame that should be passed to the output.


=item B<end_frame>

The number of the first frame that should be dropped.

=back


B<start>, B<end>, and B<duration> are expressed as time
duration specifications; see
B<the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual>
for the accepted syntax.

Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the B<duration>
option look at the frame timestamp, while the _frame variants simply count the
frames that pass through the filter. Also note that this filter does not modify
the timestamps. If you wish for the output timestamps to start at zero, insert a
setpts filter after the trim filter.

If multiple start or end options are set, this filter tries to be greedy and
keep all the frames that match at least one of the specified constraints. To keep
only the part that matches all the constraints at once, chain multiple trim
filters.

The defaults are such that all the input is kept. So it is possible to set e.g.
just the end values to keep everything before the specified time.

Examples:

=over 4


=item *

Drop everything except the second minute of input:
	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf trim=60:120



=item *

Keep only the first second:
	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf trim=duration=1



=back

for RGB formats bit 0 is green, bit 1 is blue and bit 2 is red;
for YUV formats bit 0 is luma, bit 1 is chroma-U and bit 2 is chroma-V.
If present, the alpha channel is always the last bit.


=item B<inplace>

Do not require 2nd input for processing, instead use alpha plane from input stream.

and 23. The default value is 5.


=item B<luma_amount, la>

Set the luma effect strength. It must be a floating point number, reasonable
values lay between -1.5 and 1.5.

Set the chroma effect strength. It must be a floating point number, reasonable
values lay between -1.5 and 1.5.

Negative values will blur the input video, while positive values will
sharpen it, a value of zero will disable the effect.

Default value is 0.0.

=back



=head2 uspp


Apply ultra slow/simple postprocessing filter that compresses and decompresses
the image at several (or - in the case of B<quality> level C<8> - all)
shifts and average the results.

The way this differs from the behavior of spp is that uspp actually encodes &
decodes each case with libavcodec Snow, whereas spp uses a simplified intra only 8x8
DCT similar to MJPEG.

This filter is only available in ffmpeg version 4.4 or earlier.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<quality>

Set quality. This option defines the number of levels for averaging. It accepts
an integer in the range 0-8. If set to C<0>, the filter will have no
effect. A value of C<8> means the higher quality. For each increment of
that value the speed drops by a factor of approximately 2.  Default value is
C<3>.

=over 4


=item B<mode, m>

Set vectorscope mode.

It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<gray>


=item B<tint>

Gray values are displayed on graph, higher brightness means more pixels have
same component color value on location in graph. This is the default mode.


=item B<color>

Gray values are displayed on graph. Surrounding pixels values which are not
present in video frame are drawn in gradient of 2 color components which are
set by option C<x> and C<y>. The 3rd color component is static.


=item B<color2>

Actual color components values present in video frame are displayed on graph.


=item B<color3>

Similar as color2 but higher frequency of same values C<x> and C<y>
on graph increases value of another color component, which is luminance by
default values of C<x> and C<y>.


=item B<color4>

Actual colors present in video frame are displayed on graph. If two different
colors map to same position on graph then color with higher value of component

can have. So for 8-bit input and low threshold value of 0.1 actual threshold
is 0.1 * 255 = 25.


=item B<hthreshold, h>

Set high threshold for color component not represented on X or Y axis.
Values higher than this value will be ignored. Default is 1.
Note this value is multiplied with actual max possible value one pixel component
can have. So for 8-bit input and high threshold value of 0.9 actual threshold

in the filtered stream, identified by the specified number. The idea
is to compensate all movements in a more-or-less static scene and keep
the camera view absolutely still.

If set to 0, it is disabled. The frames are counted starting from 1.


=item B<show>

Show fields and transforms in the resulting frames. It accepts an
integer in the range 0-2. Default value is 0, which disables any
visualization.

=head2 vif


Obtain the average VIF (Visual Information Fidelity) between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

Both input videos must have the same resolution and pixel format for
this filter to work correctly. Also it assumes that both inputs
have the same number of frames, which are compared one by one.

The obtained average VIF score is printed through the logging system.

The filter stores the calculated VIF score of each frame.

This filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

=head2 w3fdif


Deinterlace the input video ("w3fdif" stands for "Weston 3 Field
Deinterlacing Filter").

Based on the process described by Martin Weston for BBC R&D, and
implemented based on the de-interlace algorithm written by Jim
Easterbrook for BBC R&D, the Weston 3 field deinterlacing filter
uses filter coefficients calculated by BBC R&D.

This filter uses field-dominance information in frame to decide which
of each pair of fields to place first in the output.
If it gets it wrong use B<setfield> filter before C<w3fdif> filter.

There are two sets of filter coefficients, so called "simple"
and "complex". Which set of filter coefficients is used can
be set by passing an optional parameter:


=over 4


=item B<filter>

Set the interlacing filter coefficients. Accepts one of the following values:


=over 4


=item B<simple>

Simple filter coefficient set.

=item B<complex>

More-complex filter coefficient set.

=back

Default value is B<complex>.


=item B<mode>

=over 4


=item B<frame>

Output one frame for each frame.

=item B<field>

Output one frame for each field.

Assume the top field is first.

=item B<bff>

Assume the bottom field is first.

=item B<auto>

=back


The default value is C<auto>.
If the interlacing is unknown or the decoder does not export this information,
top field first will be assumed.


=item B<deint>

Specify which frames to deinterlace. Accepts one of the following values:


=over 4


=item B<all>

Deinterlace all frames,

=item B<interlaced>

Only deinterlace frames marked as interlaced.

=back


Default value is B<all>.

=back



=head3 Commands

This filter supports same B<commands> as options.


=head2 waveform

Video waveform monitor.

The waveform monitor plots color component intensity. By default luma
only. Each column of the waveform corresponds to a column of pixels in the
source video.

It accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<mode, m>

Can be either C<row>, or C<column>. Default is C<column>.
In row mode, the graph on the left side represents color component value 0 and
the right side represents value = 255. In column mode, the top side represents
color component value = 0 and bottom side represents value = 255.


=item B<intensity, i>

Set intensity. Smaller values are useful to find out how many values of the same
luminance are distributed across input rows/columns.
Default value is C<0.04>. Allowed range is [0, 1].


=item B<mirror, r>

Set mirroring mode. C<0> means unmirrored, C<1> means mirrored.
In mirrored mode, higher values will be represented on the left
side for C<row> mode and at the top for C<column> mode. Default is
C<1> (mirrored).


=item B<display, d>

Set display mode.
It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<overlay>

Presents information identical to that in the C<parade>, except
that the graphs representing color components are superimposed directly
over one another.

This display mode makes it easier to spot relative differences or similarities
in overlapping areas of the color components that are supposed to be identical,
such as neutral whites, grays, or blacks.


=item B<stack>

Display separate graph for the color components side by side in
C<row> mode or one below the other in C<column> mode.


=item B<parade>

Display separate graph for the color components side by side in
C<column> mode or one below the other in C<row> mode.

Using this display mode makes it easy to spot color casts in the highlights
and shadows of an image, by comparing the contours of the top and the bottom
graphs of each waveform. Since whites, grays, and blacks are characterized
by exactly equal amounts of red, green, and blue, neutral areas of the picture
should display three waveforms of roughly equal width/height. If not, the
correction is easy to perform by making level adjustments the three waveforms.

=back

Default is C<stack>.


=item B<components, c>

Set which color components to display. Default is 1, which means only luma
or red color component if input is in RGB colorspace. If is set for example to
7 it will display all 3 (if) available color components.

=over 4


=item B<none>

No envelope, this is default.


=item B<instant>

=head2 xstack

Stack video inputs into custom layout.

All streams must be of same pixel format.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<inputs>

Set number of input streams. Default is 2.


=item B<layout>

Specify layout of inputs.
This option requires the desired layout configuration to be explicitly set by the user.
This sets position of each video input in output. Each input
is separated by '|'.
The first number represents the column, and the second number represents the row.
Numbers start at 0 and are separated by '_'. Optionally one can use wX and hX,
where X is video input from which to take width or height.
Multiple values can be used when separated by '+'. In such
case values are summed together.

Note that if inputs are of different sizes gaps may appear, as not all of
the output video frame will be filled. Similarly, videos can overlap each
other if their position doesn't leave enough space for the full frame of
adjoining videos.

For 2 inputs, a default layout of C<0_0|w0_0> (equivalent to
C<grid=2x1>) is set. In all other cases, a layout or a grid must be set by
the user. Either C<grid> or C<layout> can be specified at a time.
Specifying both will result in an error.


=item B<grid>

Specify a fixed size grid of inputs.
This option is used to create a fixed size grid of the input streams. Set the
grid size in the form C<COLUMNSxROWS>. There must be C<ROWS * COLUMNS>
input streams and they will be arranged as a grid with C<ROWS> rows and
C<COLUMNS> columns. When using this option, each input stream within a row
must have the same height and all the rows must have the same width.

If C<grid> is set, then C<inputs> option is ignored and is implicitly
set to C<ROWS * COLUMNS>.

For 2 inputs, a default grid of C<2x1> (equivalent to
C<layout=0_0|w0_0>) is set. In all other cases, a layout or a grid must be
set by the user. Either C<grid> or C<layout> can be specified at a time.
Specifying both will result in an error.


=item B<shortest>

If set to 1, force the output to terminate when the shortest input
terminates. Default value is 0.


=item B<fill>

If set to valid color, all unused pixels will be filled with that color.
By default fill is set to none, so it is disabled.

=head2 zscale

Scale (resize) the input video, using the z.lib library:
E<lt>B<https://github.com/sekrit-twc/zimg>E<gt>. To enable compilation of this
filter, you need to configure FFmpeg with C<--enable-libzimg>.

The zscale filter forces the output display aspect ratio to be the same
as the input, by changing the output sample aspect ratio.

If the input image format is different from the format requested by
the next filter, the zscale filter will convert the input to the
requested format.


=head3 Options

The filter accepts the following options.


=over 4


=item B<width, w>


=item B<height, h>

Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input
dimension.

If the I<width> or I<w> value is 0, the input width is used for
the output. If the I<height> or I<h> value is 0, the input height
is used for the output.

If one and only one of the values is -n with n E<gt>= 1, the zscale filter
will use a value that maintains the aspect ratio of the input image,
calculated from the other specified dimension. After that it will,
however, make sure that the calculated dimension is divisible by n and
adjust the value if necessary.

If both values are -n with n E<gt>= 1, the behavior will be identical to
both values being set to 0 as previously detailed.

See below for the list of accepted constants for use in the dimension
expression.

=head1 OPENCL VIDEO FILTERS


Below is a description of the currently available OpenCL video filters.

To enable compilation of these filters you need to configure FFmpeg with
C<--enable-opencl>.

Running OpenCL filters requires you to initialize a hardware device and to pass that device to all filters in any filter graph.

=over 4



=item B<-init_hw_device opencl[=>I<name>B<][:>I<device>B<[,>I<key=value>B<...]]>

Initialise a new hardware device of type I<opencl> called I<name>, using the
given device parameters.


=item B<-filter_hw_device> I<name>

Pass the hardware device called I<name> to all filters in any filter graph.


=back


For more detailed information see E<lt>B<https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Advanced-Video-options>E<gt>


=over 4


=item *

Example of choosing the first device on the second platform and running avgblur_opencl filter with default parameters on it.
	
	-init_hw_device opencl=gpu:1.0 -filter_hw_device gpu -i INPUT -vf "hwupload, avgblur_opencl, hwdownload" OUTPUT


=back


Since OpenCL filters are not able to access frame data in normal memory, all frame data needs to be uploaded(B<hwupload>) to hardware surfaces connected to the appropriate device before being used and then downloaded(B<hwdownload>) back to normal memory. Note that B<hwupload> will upload to a surface with the same layout as the software frame, so it may be necessary to add a B<format> filter immediately before to get the input into the right format and B<hwdownload> does not support all formats on the output - it may be necessary to insert an additional B<format> filter immediately following in the graph to get the output in a supported format.


=head2 avgblur_opencl


Apply average blur filter.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<sizeX>

Set horizontal radius size.
Range is C<[1, 1024]> and default value is C<1>.


=item B<planes>

Set which planes to filter. Default value is C<0xf>, by which all planes are processed.


=item B<sizeY>

Set vertical radius size. Range is C<[1, 1024]> and default value is C<0>. If zero, C<sizeX> value will be used.

=back



=head3 Example



=over 4


=item *

Apply average blur filter with horizontal and vertical size of 3, setting each pixel of the output to the average value of the 7x7 region centered on it in the input. For pixels on the edges of the image, the region does not extend beyond the image boundaries, and so out-of-range coordinates are not used in the calculations.
	
	-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, avgblur_opencl=3, hwdownload" OUTPUT


=back



=head2 boxblur_opencl


Apply a boxblur algorithm to the input video.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<luma_radius, lr>


=item B<luma_power, lp>


=item B<chroma_radius, cr>


=item B<chroma_power, cp>


=item B<alpha_radius, ar>


=item B<alpha_power, ap>



=back


A description of the accepted options follows.


=over 4


=item B<luma_radius, lr>


=item B<chroma_radius, cr>


=item B<alpha_radius, ar>

Set an expression for the box radius in pixels used for blurring the
corresponding input plane.

The radius value must be a non-negative number, and must not be
greater than the value of the expression C<min(w,h)/2> for the
luma and alpha planes, and of C<min(cw,ch)/2> for the chroma
planes.

Default value for B<luma_radius> is "2". If not specified,
B<chroma_radius> and B<alpha_radius> default to the
corresponding value set for B<luma_radius>.

=over 4


=item B<w>


=item B<h>

The input width and height in pixels.


=item B<cw>


=item B<ch>

The input chroma image width and height in pixels.


=item B<hsub>


=item B<vsub>

pixel format "yuv422p", I<hsub> is 2 and I<vsub> is 1.

=back



=item B<luma_power, lp>


=item B<chroma_power, cp>


=item B<alpha_power, ap>

Specify how many times the boxblur filter is applied to the
corresponding plane.

Default value for B<luma_power> is 2. If not specified,
B<chroma_power> and B<alpha_power> default to the
corresponding value set for B<luma_power>.

A value of 0 will disable the effect.

=back



=head3 Examples


Apply boxblur filter, setting each pixel of the output to the average value of box-radiuses I<luma_radius>, I<chroma_radius>, I<alpha_radius> for each plane respectively. The filter will apply I<luma_power>, I<chroma_power>, I<alpha_power> times onto the corresponding plane. For pixels on the edges of the image, the radius does not extend beyond the image boundaries, and so out-of-range coordinates are not used in the calculations.


=over 4


=item *

Apply a boxblur filter with the luma, chroma, and alpha radius
set to 2 and luma, chroma, and alpha power set to 3. The filter will run 3 times with box-radius set to 2 for every plane of the image.

Defaults to C<1>.


=item B<smooth_strength>

The strength of the smoothing applied to the camera path from C<0.0> to C<1.0>.

C<1.0> is the maximum smoothing strength while values less than that result in less smoothing.

Defaults to C<0.0>.


=item B<smooth_window_multiplier>

Controls the size of the smoothing window (the number of frames buffered to determine motion information from).

The size of the smoothing window is determined by multiplying the framerate of the video by this number.

Acceptable values range from C<0.1> to C<10.0>.

Larger values increase the amount of motion data available for determining how to smooth the camera path,
potentially improving smoothness, but also increase latency and memory usage.

Defaults to C<2.0>.

This filter requires same memory layout for all the inputs. So, format conversion may be needed.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4



=item B<x>

Set the x coordinate of the overlaid video on the main video.
Default value is C<0>.


=item B<y>

Set the y coordinate of the overlaid video on the main video.
Default value is C<0>.


=back



=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Overlay an image LOGO at the top-left corner of the INPUT video. Both inputs are yuv420p format.
	
	-i INPUT -i LOGO -filter_complex "[0:v]hwupload[a], [1:v]format=yuv420p, hwupload[b], [a][b]overlay_opencl, hwdownload" OUTPUT


=item *

The inputs have same memory layout for color channels , the overlay has additional alpha plane, like INPUT is yuv420p, and the LOGO is yuva420p.

=head2 pad_opencl


Add paddings to the input image, and place the original input at the
provided I<x>, I<y> coordinates.

It accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<width, w>


=item B<height, h>

Specify an expression for the size of the output image with the
paddings added. If the value for I<width> or I<height> is 0, the
corresponding input size is used for the output.

The I<width> expression can reference the value set by the
I<height> expression, and vice versa.

The default value of I<width> and I<height> is 0.


=item B<x>


=item B<y>

Specify the offsets to place the input image at within the padded area,
with respect to the top/left border of the output image.

The I<x> expression can reference the value set by the I<y>
expression, and vice versa.

The default value of I<x> and I<y> is 0.

If I<x> or I<y> evaluate to a negative number, they'll be changed
so the input image is centered on the padded area.


=item B<color>

Specify the color of the padded area. For the syntax of this option,
check the B<"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual>.


=item B<aspect>

=head2 program_opencl


Filter video using an OpenCL program.


=over 4



=item B<source>

OpenCL program source file.


=item B<kernel>

Kernel name in program.


=item B<inputs>

Number of inputs to the filter.  Defaults to 1.


=item B<size, s>

Size of output frames.  Defaults to the same as the first input.


=back


The C<program_opencl> filter also supports the B<framesync> options.

The program source file must contain a kernel function with the given name,
which will be run once for each plane of the output.  Each run on a plane
gets enqueued as a separate 2D global NDRange with one work-item for each
pixel to be generated.  The global ID offset for each work-item is therefore
the coordinates of a pixel in the destination image.

The kernel function needs to take the following arguments:

=over 4


=item *

Destination image, I<__write_only image2d_t>.

This image will become the output; the kernel should write all of it.

=item *

Frame index, I<unsigned int>.

This is a counter starting from zero and increasing by one for each frame.

=item *

Source images, I<__read_only image2d_t>.

These are the most recent images on each input.  The kernel may read from
them to generate the output, but they can't be written to.

=back


Example programs:


=over 4


=item *

Copy the input to the output (output must be the same size as the input).
	
	__kernel void copy(__write_only image2d_t destination,
	                   unsigned int index,

	    write_imagef(destination, location, value);
	}



=item *

Apply a simple transformation, rotating the input by an amount increasing
with the index counter.  Pixel values are linearly interpolated by the
sampler, and the output need not have the same dimensions as the input.

	    float2 src_pos = {
	        cos(angle) * dst_pos.x - sin(angle) * dst_pos.y,
	        sin(angle) * dst_pos.x + cos(angle) * dst_pos.y
	    };
	    src_pos = src_pos * src_dim / dst_dim;
	
	    float2 src_loc = src_pos + src_cen;
	
	    if (src_loc.x < 0.0f      || src_loc.y < 0.0f ||
	        src_loc.x > src_dim.x || src_loc.y > src_dim.y)
	        write_imagef(dst, dst_loc, 0.5f);
	    else
	        write_imagef(dst, dst_loc, read_imagef(src, sampler, src_loc));
	}



=item *

Blend two inputs together, with the amount of each input used varying
with the index counter.
	
	__kernel void blend_images(__write_only image2d_t dst,

=item B<desat>

Apply desaturation for highlights that exceed this level of brightness. The
higher the parameter, the more color information will be preserved. This

at the cost of reducing information about out-of-range colors.

The default value is 0.5, and the algorithm here is a little different from
the cpu version tonemap currently. A setting of 0.0 disables this option.


=item B<threshold>

The tonemapping algorithm parameters is fine-tuned per each scene. And a threshold
is used to detect whether the scene has changed or not. If the distance between
the current frame average brightness and the current running average exceeds
a threshold value, we would re-calculate scene average and peak brightness.

=back


As Vulkan filters are not able to access frame data in normal memory, all frame data needs to be uploaded (B<hwupload>) to hardware surfaces connected to the appropriate device before being used and then downloaded (B<hwdownload>) back to normal memory. Note that B<hwupload> will upload to a frame with the same layout as the software frame, so it may be necessary to add a B<format> filter immediately before to get the input into the right format and B<hwdownload> does not support all formats on the output - it is usually necessary to insert an additional B<format> filter immediately following in the graph to get the output in a supported format.

=head1 QSV VIDEO FILTERS


Below is a description of the currently available QSV video filters.

To enable compilation of these filters you need to configure FFmpeg with
C<--enable-libmfx> or C<--enable-libvpl>.

To use QSV filters, you need to setup the QSV device correctly. For more information, please read E<lt>B<https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/QuickSync>E<gt>


=head2 hstack_qsv

This is the QSV variant of the B<hstack> filter, each input stream may
have different height, this filter will scale down/up each input stream while
keeping the orignal aspect.

It accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<inputs>

See B<hstack>.


=item B<shortest>

See B<hstack>.


=item B<height>

Set height of output. If set to 0, this filter will set height of output to
height of the first input stream. Default value is 0.

=back



=head2 vstack_qsv

Stack input videos vertically.

This is the QSV variant of the B<vstack> filter, each input stream may
have different width, this filter will scale down/up each input stream while
keeping the orignal aspect.

It accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<inputs>

See B<vstack>.


=item B<shortest>

See B<vstack>.


=item B<width>

Set width of output. If set to 0, this filter will set width of output to
width of the first input stream. Default value is 0.

=back



=head2 xstack_qsv

Stack video inputs into custom layout.

This is the QSV variant of the B<xstack> filter.

It accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<inputs>

See B<xstack>.


=item B<shortest>

See B<xstack>.


=item B<layout>

See B<xstack>.
Moreover, this permits the user to supply output size for each input stream.
	
	xstack_qsv=inputs=4:layout=0_0_1920x1080|0_h0_1920x1080|w0_0_1920x1080|w0_h0_1920x1080



=item B<grid>

See B<xstack>.


=item B<grid_tile_size>

Set output size for each input stream when B<grid> is set. If this option
is not set, this filter will set output size by default to the size of the
first input stream. For the syntax of this option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.


=item B<fill>

See B<xstack>.

=back




=head1 VIDEO SOURCES


Below is a description of the currently available video sources.


=head2 buffer


Buffer video frames, and make them available to the filter chain.

This source is mainly intended for a programmatic use, in particular
through the interface defined in F<libavfilter/buffersrc.h>.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<video_size>

Specify the size (width and height) of the buffered video frames. For the
syntax of this option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.


=item B<width>

The input video width.


=item B<height>

The input video height.


=item B<pix_fmt>

A string representing the pixel format of the buffered video frames.
It may be a number corresponding to a pixel format, or a pixel format
name.


=item B<time_base>

Specify the timebase assumed by the timestamps of the buffered frames.


=item B<frame_rate>

Specify the frame rate expected for the video stream.


=item B<pixel_aspect, sar>

The sample (pixel) aspect ratio of the input video.


=item B<hw_frames_ctx>

When using a hardware pixel format, this should be a reference to an
AVHWFramesContext describing input frames.

=back


For example:
	
	buffer=width=320:height=240:pix_fmt=yuv410p:time_base=1/24:sar=1


will instruct the source to accept video frames with size 320x240 and
with format "yuv410p", assuming 1/24 as the timestamps timebase and
square pixels (1:1 sample aspect ratio).
Since the pixel format with name "yuv410p" corresponds to the number 6
(check the enum AVPixelFormat definition in F<libavutil/pixfmt.h>),
this example corresponds to:
	
	buffer=size=320x240:pixfmt=6:time_base=1/24:pixel_aspect=1/1


Alternatively, the options can be specified as a flat string, but this
syntax is deprecated:

I<width>:I<height>:I<pix_fmt>:I<time_base.num>:I<time_base.den>:I<pixel_aspect.num>:I<pixel_aspect.den>


=head2 cellauto


Create a pattern generated by an elementary cellular automaton.

The initial state of the cellular automaton can be defined through the
B<filename> and B<pattern> options. If such options are
not specified an initial state is created randomly.

At each new frame a new row in the video is filled with the result of
the cellular automaton next generation. The behavior when the whole
frame is filled is defined by the B<scroll> option.

This source accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<filename, f>

Read the initial cellular automaton state, i.e. the starting row, from
the specified file.
In the file, each non-whitespace character is considered an alive
cell, a newline will terminate the row, and further characters in the
file will be ignored.


=item B<pattern, p>

Read the initial cellular automaton state, i.e. the starting row, from
the specified string.

Each non-whitespace character in the string is considered an alive
cell, a newline will terminate the row, and further characters in the
string will be ignored.


=item B<rate, r>

Set the video rate, that is the number of frames generated per second.
Default is 25.


=item B<random_fill_ratio, ratio>

Set the random fill ratio for the initial cellular automaton row. It
is a floating point number value ranging from 0 to 1, defaults to
1/PHI.

This option is ignored when a file or a pattern is specified.


=item B<random_seed, seed>

Set the seed for filling randomly the initial row, must be an integer
included between 0 and UINT32_MAX. If not specified, or if explicitly
set to -1, the filter will try to use a good random seed on a best
effort basis.


=item B<rule>

Set the cellular automaton rule, it is a number ranging from 0 to 255.
Default value is 110.


=item B<size, s>

Set the size of the output video. For the syntax of this option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.

If B<filename> or B<pattern> is specified, the size is set
by default to the width of the specified initial state row, and the
height is set to I<width> * PHI.

If B<size> is set, it must contain the width of the specified
pattern string, and the specified pattern will be centered in the
larger row.

If a filename or a pattern string is not specified, the size value
defaults to "320x518" (used for a randomly generated initial state).


=item B<scroll>

If set to 1, scroll the output upward when all the rows in the output
have been already filled. If set to 0, the new generated row will be
written over the top row just after the bottom row is filled.
Defaults to 1.


=item B<start_full, full>

If set to 1, completely fill the output with generated rows before
outputting the first frame.
This is the default behavior, for disabling set the value to 0.


=item B<stitch>

If set to 1, stitch the left and right row edges together.
This is the default behavior, for disabling set the value to 0.

=back



=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Read the initial state from F<pattern>, and specify an output of
size 200x400.
	
	cellauto=f=pattern:s=200x400

ratio of 2/3:
	
	cellauto=ratio=2/3:s=200x200



=item *

Create a pattern generated by rule 18 starting by a single alive cell
centered on an initial row with width 100:

=head2 frei0r_src


Provide a frei0r source.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to install the frei0r
header and configure FFmpeg with C<--enable-frei0r>.

This source accepts the following parameters:


=over 4



=item B<size>

The size of the video to generate. For the syntax of this option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.


=item B<framerate>

The framerate of the generated video. It may be a string of the form
I<num>/I<den> or a frame rate abbreviation.


=item B<filter_name>

The name to the frei0r source to load. For more information regarding frei0r and
how to set the parameters, read the B<frei0r> section in the video filters
documentation.


=item B<filter_params>

A '|'-separated list of parameters to pass to the frei0r source.


=back


For example, to generate a frei0r partik0l source with size 200x200
and frame rate 10 which is overlaid on the overlay filter main input:
	
	frei0r_src=size=200x200:framerate=10:filter_name=partik0l:filter_params=1234 [overlay]; [in][overlay] overlay



=head2 life


Generate a life pattern.

This source is based on a generalization of John Conway's life game.

The sourced input represents a life grid, each pixel represents a cell
which can be in one of two possible states, alive or dead. Every cell
interacts with its eight neighbours, which are the cells that are
horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent.

At each interaction the grid evolves according to the adopted rule,
which specifies the number of neighbor alive cells which will make a
cell stay alive or born. The B<rule> option allows one to specify
the rule to adopt.

This source accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<filename, f>

Set the file from which to read the initial grid state. In the file,
each non-whitespace character is considered an alive cell, and newline
is used to delimit the end of each row.

If this option is not specified, the initial grid is generated
randomly.


=item B<rate, r>

Set the video rate, that is the number of frames generated per second.
Default is 25.


=item B<random_fill_ratio, ratio>

Set the random fill ratio for the initial random grid. It is a
floating point number value ranging from 0 to 1, defaults to 1/PHI.
It is ignored when a file is specified.


=item B<random_seed, seed>

Set the seed for filling the initial random grid, must be an integer
included between 0 and UINT32_MAX. If not specified, or if explicitly
set to -1, the filter will try to use a good random seed on a best
effort basis.


=item B<rule>

Set the life rule.

A rule can be specified with a code of the kind "SI<NS>/BI<NB>",
where I<NS> and I<NB> are sequences of numbers in the range 0-8,
I<NS> specifies the number of alive neighbor cells which make a
live cell stay alive, and I<NB> the number of alive neighbor cells
which make a dead cell to become alive (i.e. to "born").
"s" and "b" can be used in place of "S" and "B", respectively.

Alternatively a rule can be specified by an 18-bits integer. The 9
high order bits are used to encode the next cell state if it is alive
for each number of neighbor alive cells, the low order bits specify
the rule for "borning" new cells. Higher order bits encode for an
higher number of neighbor cells.
For example the number 6153 = C<(12E<lt>E<lt>9)+9> specifies a stay alive
rule of 12 and a born rule of 9, which corresponds to "S23/B03".

Default value is "S23/B3", which is the original Conway's game of life
rule, and will keep a cell alive if it has 2 or 3 neighbor alive
cells, and will born a new cell if there are three alive cells around
a dead cell.


=item B<size, s>

Set the size of the output video. For the syntax of this option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.

If B<filename> is specified, the size is set by default to the
same size of the input file. If B<size> is set, it must contain
the size specified in the input file, and the initial grid defined in
that file is centered in the larger resulting area.

If a filename is not specified, the size value defaults to "320x240"
(used for a randomly generated initial grid).


=item B<stitch>

If set to 1, stitch the left and right grid edges together, and the
top and bottom edges also. Defaults to 1.


=item B<mold>

Set cell mold speed. If set, a dead cell will go from B<death_color> to
B<mold_color> with a step of B<mold>. B<mold> can have a
value from 0 to 255.


=item B<life_color>

Set the color of living (or new born) cells.


=item B<death_color>

Set the color of dead cells. If B<mold> is set, this is the first color
used to represent a dead cell.


=item B<mold_color>

Set mold color, for definitely dead and moldy cells.

For the syntax of these 3 color options, check the B<"Color" section in the
ffmpeg-utils manual>.

mainly useful to be employed in analysis / debugging tools, or as the
source for filters which ignore the input data.

The C<pal75bars> source generates a color bars pattern, based on
EBU PAL recommendations with 75% color levels.

The C<pal100bars> source generates a color bars pattern, based on
EBU PAL recommendations with 100% color levels.

The C<rgbtestsrc> source generates an RGB test pattern useful for
detecting RGB vs BGR issues. You should see a red, green and blue
stripe from top to bottom.

=head2 bench, abench


Benchmark part of a filtergraph.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<action>

Start or stop a timer.

Available values are:

=over 4


=item B<start>

Get the current time, set it as frame metadata (using the key
C<lavfi.bench.start_time>), and forward the frame to the next filter.


=item B<stop>

Get the current time and fetch the C<lavfi.bench.start_time> metadata from
the input frame metadata to get the time difference. Time difference, average,
maximum and minimum time (respectively C<t>, C<avg>, C<max> and
C<min>) are then printed. The timestamps are expressed in seconds.

=head2 concat


Concatenate audio and video streams, joining them together one after the
other.

The filter works on segments of synchronized video and audio streams. All
segments must have the same number of streams of each type, and that will
also be the number of streams at output.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4



=item B<n>

Set the number of segments. Default is 2.


=item B<v>

Set the number of output video streams, that is also the number of video
streams in each segment. Default is 1.


=item B<a>

Set the number of output audio streams, that is also the number of audio
streams in each segment. Default is 0.


=item B<unsafe>

Activate unsafe mode: do not fail if segments have a different format.


=back


The filter has I<v>+I<a> outputs: first I<v> video outputs, then
I<a> audio outputs.

There are I<n>x(I<v>+I<a>) inputs: first the inputs for the first
segment, in the same order as the outputs, then the inputs for the second
segment, etc.

Related streams do not always have exactly the same duration, for various
reasons including codec frame size or sloppy authoring. For that reason,
related synchronized streams (e.g. a video and its audio track) should be
concatenated at once. The concat filter will use the duration of the longest
stream in each segment (except the last one), and if necessary pad shorter
audio streams with silence.

For this filter to work correctly, all segments must start at timestamp 0.

All corresponding streams must have the same parameters in all segments; the
filtering system will automatically select a common pixel format for video
streams, and a common sample format, sample rate and channel layout for
audio streams, but other settings, such as resolution, must be converted
explicitly by the user.

Different frame rates are acceptable but will result in variable frame rate
at output; be sure to configure the output file to handle it.


=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Concatenate an opening, an episode and an ending, all in bilingual version
(video in stream 0, audio in streams 1 and 2):
	
	ffmpeg -i opening.mkv -i episode.mkv -i ending.mkv -filter_complex \
	  '[0:0] [0:1] [0:2] [1:0] [1:1] [1:2] [2:0] [2:1] [2:2]
	   concat=n=3:v=1:a=2 [v] [a1] [a2]' \
	  -map '[v]' -map '[a1]' -map '[a2]' output.mkv



=item *

Concatenate two parts, handling audio and video separately, using the
(a)movie sources, and adjusting the resolution:
	
	movie=part1.mp4, scale=512:288 [v1] ; amovie=part1.mp4 [a1] ;
	movie=part2.mp4, scale=512:288 [v2] ; amovie=part2.mp4 [a2] ;
	[v1] [v2] concat [outv] ; [a1] [a2] concat=v=0:a=1 [outa]

Note that a desync will happen at the stitch if the audio and video streams
do not have exactly the same duration in the first file.

=head2 ebur128


EBU R128 scanner filter. This filter takes an audio stream and analyzes its loudness
level. By default, it logs a message at a frequency of 10Hz with the
Momentary loudness (identified by C<M>), Short-term loudness (C<S>),
Integrated loudness (C<I>) and Loudness Range (C<LRA>).

The filter can only analyze streams which have
sample format is double-precision floating point. The input stream will be converted to
this specification, if needed. Users may need to insert aformat and/or aresample filters
after this filter to obtain the original parameters.

The filter also has a video output (see the I<video> option) with a real
time graph to observe the loudness evolution. The graphic contains the logged
message mentioned above, so it is not printed anymore when this option is set,
unless the verbose logging is set. The main graphing area contains the
short-term loudness (3 seconds of analysis), and the gauge on the right is for
the momentary loudness (400 milliseconds), but can optionally be configured
to instead display short-term loudness (see I<gauge>).

The green area marks a  +/- 1LU target range around the target loudness
(-23LUFS by default, unless modified through I<target>).

More information about the Loudness Recommendation EBU R128 on
E<lt>B<http://tech.ebu.ch/loudness>E<gt>.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4



=item B<video>

Activate the video output. The audio stream is passed unchanged whether this
option is set or no. The video stream will be the first output stream if
activated. Default is C<0>.


=item B<size>

Set the video size. This option is for video only. For the syntax of this
option, check the
B<"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual>.
Default and minimum resolution is C<640x480>.


=item B<meter>

Set the EBU scale meter. Default is C<9>. Common values are C<9> and
C<18>, respectively for EBU scale meter +9 and EBU scale meter +18. Any
other integer value between this range is allowed.


=item B<metadata>

Set metadata injection. If set to C<1>, the audio input will be segmented
into 100ms output frames, each of them containing various loudness information
in metadata.  All the metadata keys are prefixed with C<lavfi.r128.>.

Default is C<0>.


=item B<framelog>

Force the frame logging level.

Available values are:

=over 4


=item B<quiet>

logging disabled

=item B<info>

information logging level

=item B<verbose>

verbose logging level

=back


By default, the logging level is set to I<info>. If the B<video> or
the B<metadata> options are set, it switches to I<verbose>.


=item B<peak>

Set peak mode(s).

Available modes can be cumulated (the option is a C<flag> type). Possible
values are:

=over 4


=item B<none>

Disable any peak mode (default).

=item B<sample>

Enable sample-peak mode.

Simple peak mode looking for the higher sample value. It logs a message
for sample-peak (identified by C<SPK>).

=item B<true>

Enable true-peak mode.

If enabled, the peak lookup is done on an over-sampled version of the input
stream for better peak accuracy. It logs a message for true-peak.
(identified by C<TPK>) and true-peak per frame (identified by C<FTPK>).
This mode requires a build with C<libswresample>.

=back



=item B<dualmono>

Treat mono input files as "dual mono". If a mono file is intended for playback
on a stereo system, its EBU R128 measurement will be perceptually incorrect.
If set to C<true>, this option will compensate for this effect.
Multi-channel input files are not affected by this option.


=item B<panlaw>

Set a specific pan law to be used for the measurement of dual mono files.
This parameter is optional, and has a default value of -3.01dB.


=item B<target>

Set a specific target level (in LUFS) used as relative zero in the visualization.
This parameter is optional and has a default value of -23LUFS as specified
by EBU R128. However, material published online may prefer a level of -16LUFS
(e.g. for use with podcasts or video platforms).


=item B<gauge>

Set the value displayed by the gauge. Valid values are C<momentary> and s
C<shortterm>. By default the momentary value will be used, but in certain
scenarios it may be more useful to observe the short term value instead (e.g.
live mixing).


=item B<scale>

Sets the display scale for the loudness. Valid parameters are C<absolute>
(in LUFS) or C<relative> (LU) relative to the target. This only affects the
video output, not the summary or continuous log output.


=item B<integrated>

Read-only exported value for measured integrated loudness, in LUFS.


=item B<range>

Read-only exported value for measured loudness range, in LU.


=item B<lra_low>

Read-only exported value for measured LRA low, in LUFS.


=item B<lra_high>

=head2 interleave, ainterleave


Temporally interleave frames from several inputs.

C<interleave> works with video inputs, C<ainterleave> with audio.

These filters read frames from several inputs and send the oldest
queued frame to the output.

Input streams must have well defined, monotonically increasing frame
timestamp values.

In order to submit one frame to output, these filters need to enqueue
at least one frame for each input, so they cannot work in case one
input is not yet terminated and will not receive incoming frames.

For example consider the case when one input is a C<select> filter
which always drops input frames. The C<interleave> filter will keep
reading from that input, but it will never be able to send new frames
to output until the input sends an end-of-stream signal.

Also, depending on inputs synchronization, the filters will drop
frames in case one input receives more frames than the other ones, and
the queue is already filled.

These filters accept the following options:


=over 4


=item B<nb_inputs, n>

Set the number of different inputs, it is 2 by default.


=item B<duration>

How to determine the end-of-stream.


=over 4

=head2 perms, aperms


Set read/write permissions for the output frames.

These filters are mainly aimed at developers to test direct path in the
following filter in the filtergraph.

The filters accept the following options:


=over 4


=item B<mode>

Select the permissions mode.

It accepts the following values:

=over 4


=item B<none>

Do nothing. This is the default.

=item B<ro>

Set all the output frames read-only.

C<0> and C<UINT32_MAX>. If not specified, or if explicitly set to
C<-1>, the filter will try to use a good random seed on a best effort
basis.

=back


Note: in case of auto-inserted filter between the permission filter and the
following one, the permission might not be received as expected in that
following filter. Inserting a B<format> or B<aformat> filter before the
perms/aperms filter can avoid this problem.


=head2 realtime, arealtime


Slow down filtering to match real time approximately.

These filters will pause the filtering for a variable amount of time to
match the output rate with the input timestamps.
They are similar to the B<re> option to C<ffmpeg>.

They accept the following options:


=over 4


=item B<limit>

Time limit for the pauses. Any pause longer than that will be considered
a timestamp discontinuity and reset the timer. Default is 2 seconds.

=item B<speed>

Speed factor for processing. The value must be a float larger than zero.
Values larger than 1.0 will result in faster than realtime processing,
smaller will slow processing down. The I<limit> is automatically adapted
accordingly. Default is 1.0.

A processing speed faster than what is possible without these filters cannot
be achieved.

=back



=head3 Commands


Both filters supports the all above options as B<commands>.


=head2 segment, asegment

C<segment> works on video frames, C<asegment> on audio samples.

This filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<timestamps>

from the beginning of the input stream. The last segment will run until
the end of the input stream


=item B<frames, samples>

=back


In all cases, prefixing an each segment with '+' will make it relative to the
previous segment.

	asegment=timestamps="60|150"



=back




=head2 select, aselect


Select frames to pass in output.

This filter accepts the following options:


=over 4



=item B<expr, e>

Set expression, which is evaluated for each input frame.

If the expression is evaluated to zero, the frame is discarded.

If the evaluation result is negative or NaN, the frame is sent to the
first output; otherwise it is sent to the output with index
C<ceil(val)-1>, assuming that the input index starts from 0.

For example a value of C<1.2> corresponds to the output with index
C<ceil(1.2)-1 = 2-1 = 1>, that is the second output.


=item B<outputs, n>

Set the number of outputs. The output to which to send the selected
frame is based on the result of the evaluation. Default value is 1.

=back


The expression can contain the following constants:


=over 4


=item B<n>

=item B<prev_selected_n>

The sequential number of the last selected frame. It's NAN if undefined.


=item B<TB>

=item B<pts>

The PTS (Presentation TimeStamp) of the filtered frame,
expressed in I<TB> units. It's NAN if undefined.


=item B<t>

expressed in seconds. It's NAN if undefined.


=item B<prev_pts>

The PTS of the previously filtered frame. It's NAN if undefined.


=item B<prev_selected_pts>

The PTS of the last previously filtered frame. It's NAN if undefined.


=item B<prev_selected_t>

=item B<start_pts>

The first PTS in the stream which is not NAN. It remains NAN if not found.


=item B<start_t>

The first PTS, in seconds, in the stream which is not NAN. It remains NAN if not found.

=item B<B>


=item B<S>


=item B<SI>


=item B<SP>

=item B<samples_n> I<(audio only)>

the number of samples in the current frame


=item B<sample_rate> I<(audio only)>

=item B<key>

This is 1 if the filtered frame is a key-frame, 0 otherwise.


=item B<pos>

the position in the file of the filtered frame, -1 if the information
is not available (e.g. for synthetic video); deprecated, do not use


=item B<scene> I<(video only)>

value between 0 and 1 to indicate a new scene; a low value reflects a low
probability for the current frame to introduce a new scene, while a higher
value means the current frame is more likely to be one (see the example below)


=item B<concatdec_select>

The concat demuxer can select only part of a concat input file by setting an
inpoint and an outpoint, but the output packets may not be entirely contained
in the selected interval. By using this variable, it is possible to skip frames
generated by the concat demuxer which are not exactly contained in the selected
interval.

This works by comparing the frame pts against the I<lavf.concat.start_time>
and the I<lavf.concat.duration> packet metadata values which are also
present in the decoded frames.

The I<concatdec_select> variable is -1 if the frame pts is at least
start_time and either the duration metadata is missing or the frame pts is less
than start_time + duration, 0 otherwise, and NaN if the start_time metadata is
missing.

That basically means that an input frame is selected if its pts is within the
interval set by the concat demuxer.


=back


The default value of the select expression is "1".


=head3 Examples

=item *

Create a mosaic of the first scenes:
	
	ffmpeg -i video.avi -vf select='gt(scene\,0.4)',scale=160:120,tile -frames:v 1 preview.png

choice.

=head2 sendcmd, asendcmd


Send commands to filters in the filtergraph.

These filters read commands to be sent to other filters in the
filtergraph.

C<sendcmd> must be inserted between two video filters,
C<asendcmd> must be inserted between two audio filters, but apart
from that they act the same way.

The specification of commands can be provided in the filter arguments
with the I<commands> option, or in a file specified by the
I<filename> option.

These filters accept the following options:

Set the commands to be read and sent to the other filters.

=item B<filename, f>

Set the filename of the commands to be read and sent to the other
filters.

=head3 Commands syntax


A commands description consists of a sequence of interval
specifications, comprising a list of commands to be executed when a
particular event related to that interval occurs. The occurring event
is typically the current frame time entering or leaving a given time
interval.

An interval is specified by the following syntax:
	
	<START>[-<END>] <COMMANDS>;


The time interval is specified by the I<START> and I<END> times.
I<END> is optional and defaults to the maximum time.

The current frame time is considered within the specified interval if
it is included in the interval [I<START>, I<END>), that is when
the time is greater or equal to I<START> and is lesser than
I<END>.

I<COMMANDS> consists of a sequence of one or more command
specifications, separated by ",", relating to that interval.  The
syntax of a command specification is given by:
	
	[<FLAGS>] <TARGET> <COMMAND> <ARG>


I<FLAGS> is optional and specifies the type of events relating to
the time interval which enable sending the specified command, and must
be a non-null sequence of identifier flags separated by "+" or "|" and
enclosed between "[" and "]".

The following flags are recognized:

=over 4


=item B<enter>

The command is sent when the current frame timestamp enters the
specified interval. In other words, the command is sent when the
previous frame timestamp was not in the given interval, and the
current is.


=item B<leave>

The command is sent when the current frame timestamp leaves the
specified interval. In other words, the command is sent when the
previous frame timestamp was in the given interval, and the
current is not.


=item B<expr>

The command I<ARG> is interpreted as expression and result of
expression is passed as I<ARG>.

The expression is evaluated through the eval API and can contain the following
constants:


=over 4


=item B<POS>

Original position in the file of the frame, or undefined if undefined
for the current frame. Deprecated, do not use.


=item B<PTS>

The presentation timestamp in input.


=item B<N>

The count of the input frame for video or audio, starting from 0.


=item B<T>

The time in seconds of the current frame.


=item B<TS>

The start time in seconds of the current command interval.


=item B<TE>

The end time in seconds of the current command interval.


=item B<TI>

The interpolated time of the current command interval, TI = (T - TS) / (TE - TS).


=item B<W>

The video frame width.


=item B<H>

The video frame height.

=back



=back


If I<FLAGS> is not specified, a default value of C<[enter]> is
assumed.

I<TARGET> specifies the target of the command, usually the name of
the filter class or a specific filter instance name.

I<COMMAND> specifies the name of the command for the target filter.

I<ARG> is optional and specifies the optional list of argument for
the given I<COMMAND>.

Between one interval specification and another, whitespaces, or
sequences of characters starting with C<#> until the end of line,
are ignored and can be used to annotate comments.

A simplified BNF description of the commands specification syntax
follows:
	
	<COMMAND_FLAG>  ::= "enter" | "leave"
	<COMMAND_FLAGS> ::= <COMMAND_FLAG> [(+|"|")<COMMAND_FLAG>]
	<COMMAND>       ::= ["[" <COMMAND_FLAGS> "]"] <TARGET> <COMMAND> [<ARG>]
	<COMMANDS>      ::= <COMMAND> [,<COMMANDS>]
	<INTERVAL>      ::= <START>[-<END>] <COMMANDS>
	<INTERVALS>     ::= <INTERVAL>[;<INTERVALS>]

=head2 spectrumsynth


Synthesize audio from 2 input video spectrums, first input stream represents
magnitude across time and second represents phase across time.
The filter will transform from frequency domain as displayed in videos back
to time domain as presented in audio output.

This filter is primarily created for reversing processed B<showspectrum>
filter outputs, but can synthesize sound from other spectrograms too.
But in such case results are going to be poor if the phase data is not
available, because in such cases phase data need to be recreated, usually
it's just recreated from random noise.
For best results use gray only output (C<channel> color mode in
B<showspectrum> filter) and C<log> scale for magnitude video and
C<lin> scale for phase video. To produce phase, for 2nd video, use
C<data> option. Inputs videos should generally use C<fullframe>
slide mode as that saves resources needed for decoding video.

The filter accepts the following options:


=over 4


=item B<sample_rate>

Specify sample rate of output audio, the sample rate of audio from which
spectrum was generated may differ.


=item B<channels>

which means optimal overlap for selected window function will be picked.


=item B<orientation>

Set orientation of input videos. Can be C<vertical> or C<horizontal>.
Default is C<vertical>.

=back



=head3 Examples

=back



=head2 split, asplit


Split input into several identical outputs.

C<asplit> works with audio input, C<split> with video.

The filter accepts a single parameter which specifies the number of outputs. If
unspecified, it defaults to 2.


=head3 Examples



=over 4


=item *

Create two separate outputs from the same input:
	
	[in] split [out0][out1]

=item *

Create two separate outputs from the same input, one cropped and
one padded:
	
	[in] split [splitout1][splitout2];
	[splitout1] crop=100:100:0:0    [cropout];
	[splitout2] pad=200:200:100:100 [padout];



=item *

Create 5 copies of the input audio with B<ffmpeg>:
	
	ffmpeg -i INPUT -filter_complex asplit=5 OUTPUT


=back



=head2 zmq, azmq


Receive commands sent through a libzmq client, and forward them to
filters in the filtergraph.

C<zmq> and C<azmq> work as a pass-through filters. C<zmq>
must be inserted between two video filters, C<azmq> between two
audio filters. Both are capable to send messages to any filter type.

To enable these filters you need to install the libzmq library and
headers and configure FFmpeg with C<--enable-libzmq>.

For more information about libzmq see:
E<lt>B<http://www.zeromq.org/>E<gt>

The C<zmq> and C<azmq> filters work as a libzmq server, which
receives messages sent through a network interface defined by the
B<bind_address> (or the abbreviation "B<b>") option.
Default value of this option is F<tcp://localhost:5555>. You may
want to alter this value to your needs, but do not forget to escape any
':' signs (see B<filtergraph escaping>).

The received message must be in the form:
	
	<TARGET> <COMMAND> [<ARG>]


I<TARGET> specifies the target of the command, usually the name of
the filter class or a specific filter instance name. The default
filter instance name uses the pattern B<Parsed_E<lt>filter_nameE<gt>_E<lt>indexE<gt>>,
but you can override this by using the B<filter_name@id> syntax
(see B<Filtergraph syntax>).

I<COMMAND> specifies the name of the command for the target filter.

I<ARG> is optional and specifies the optional argument list for the
given I<COMMAND>.

Upon reception, the message is processed and the corresponding command
is injected into the filtergraph. Depending on the result, the filter
will send a reply to the client, adopting the format:
	
	<ERROR_CODE> <ERROR_REASON>
	<MESSAGE>


I<MESSAGE> is optional.


=head3 Examples


Look at F<tools/zmqsend> for an example of a zmq client which can
be used to send commands processed by these filters.

Consider the following filtergraph generated by B<ffplay>.
In this example the last overlay filter has an instance name. All other
filters will have default instance names.

	
	ffplay -dumpgraph 1 -f lavfi "
	color=s=100x100:c=red  [l];
	color=s=100x100:c=blue [r];
	nullsrc=s=200x100, zmq [bg];
	[bg][l]   overlay     [bg+l];
	[bg+l][r] overlay@my=x=100 "


To change the color of the left side of the video, the following
command can be used:
	
	echo Parsed_color_0 c yellow | tools/zmqsend


To change the right side:
	
	echo Parsed_color_1 c pink | tools/zmqsend


To change the position of the right side:
	
	echo overlay@my x 150 | tools/zmqsend

=head2 movie


Read audio and/or video stream(s) from a movie container.

It accepts the following parameters:


=over 4

The name of the resource to read (not necessarily a file; it can also be a
device or a stream accessed through some protocol).


=item B<format_name, f>

Specifies the format assumed for the movie to read, and can be either
the name of a container or an input device. If not specified, the
format is guessed from I<movie_name> or by probing.


=item B<seek_point, sp>

Specifies the seek point in seconds. The frames will be output
starting from this seek point. The parameter is evaluated with
C<av_strtod>, so the numerical value may be suffixed by an IS
postfix. The default value is "0".


=item B<streams, s>

Specifies the streams to read. Several streams can be specified,
separated by "+". The source will then have as many outputs, in the
same order. The syntax is explained in the B<"Stream specifiers"
section in the ffmpeg manual>. Two special names, "dv" and "da" specify
respectively the default (best suited) video and audio stream. Default
is "dv", or "da" if the filter is called as "amovie".


=item B<stream_index, si>

Specifies the index of the video stream to read. If the value is -1,
the most suitable video stream will be automatically selected. The default
value is "-1". Deprecated. If the filter is called "amovie", it will select
audio instead of video.


=item B<loop>

Specifies how many times to read the stream in sequence.
If the value is 0, the stream will be looped infinitely.
Default value is "1".

Note that when the movie is looped the source timestamps are not
changed, so it will generate non monotonically increasing timestamps.


=item B<discontinuity>

Specifies the time difference between frames above which the point is
considered a timestamp discontinuity which is removed by adjusting the later
timestamps.


=item B<dec_threads>

Specifies the number of threads for decoding
