avfilter: add aexciter audio filter

@chapter Filtering Introduction
@c man begin 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.

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

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:

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

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,
@var{crop,vflip} are in one linear chain, @var{split} and
@var{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 @var{[main]} and @var{[tmp]}.

The stream sent to the second output of @var{split}, labelled as
@var{[tmp]}, is processed through the @var{crop} filter, which crops
away the lower half part of the video, and then vertically flipped. The
@var{overlay} filter takes in input the first unchanged output of the
split filter (which was labelled as @var{[main]}), and overlay on its
lower half the output generated by the @var{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 @var{source filters} that do not have an
audio/video input, and @var{sink filters} that will not have audio/video
output.

@c man end FILTERING INTRODUCTION

@chapter graph2dot
@c man begin GRAPH2DOT

The @file{graph2dot} program included in the FFmpeg @file{tools}
directory can be used to parse a filtergraph description and issue a
corresponding textual representation in the dot language.

Invoke the command:
@example
graph2dot -h
@end example

to see how to use @file{graph2dot}.

You can then pass the dot description to the @file{dot} program (from
the graphviz suite of programs) and obtain a graphical representation
of the filtergraph.

For example the sequence of commands:
@example
echo @var{GRAPH_DESCRIPTION} | \
tools/graph2dot -o graph.tmp && \
dot -Tpng graph.tmp -o graph.png && \
display graph.png
@end example

can be used to create and display an image representing the graph
described by the @var{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:
@example
ffmpeg -i infile -vf scale=640:360 outfile
@end example
your @var{GRAPH_DESCRIPTION} string will need to be of the form:
@example
nullsrc,scale=640:360,nullsink
@end example
you may also need to set the @var{nullsrc} parameters and add a @var{format}
filter in order to simulate a specific input file.

@c man end GRAPH2DOT

@chapter Filtergraph description
@c man begin 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".

@anchor{Filtergraph syntax}
@section Filtergraph syntax

A filtergraph has a textual representation, which is recognized by the
@option{-filter}/@option{-vf}/@option{-af} and
@option{-filter_complex} options in @command{ffmpeg} and
@option{-vf}/@option{-af} in @command{ffplay}, and by the
@code{avfilter_graph_parse_ptr()} function defined in
@file{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:
[@var{in_link_1}]...[@var{in_link_N}]@var{filter_name}@@@var{id}=@var{arguments}[@var{out_link_1}]...[@var{out_link_M}]

@var{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 "@@@var{id}".
The name of the filter class is optionally followed by a string
"=@var{arguments}".

@var{arguments} is a string which contains the parameters used to
initialize the filter instance. It may have one of two forms:
@itemize

@item
A ':'-separated list of @var{key=value} pairs.

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

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

@end itemize

If the option value itself is a list of items (e.g. the @code{format} filter
takes a list of pixel formats), the items in the list are usually separated by
@samp{|}.

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

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 @var{in_link_1}
... @var{in_link_N}, are associated to the filter input pads,
the following labels @var{out_link_1} ... @var{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
@example
nullsrc, split[L1], [L2]overlay, nullsink
@end example
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.

Libavfilter will automatically insert @ref{scale} filters where format
conversion is required. It is possible to specify swscale flags
for those automatically inserted scalers by prepending
@code{sws_flags=@var{flags};}
to the filtergraph description.

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

@anchor{filtergraph escaping}
@section Notes on filtergraph escaping

Filtergraph description composition entails several levels of
escaping. See @ref{quoting_and_escaping,,the "Quoting and escaping"
section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils} 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 @code{:} used to
separate values, or one of the escaping characters @code{\'}.

A second level escaping affects the whole filter description, which
may contain the escaping characters @code{\'} or the special
characters @code{[],;} 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 @ref{drawtext} filter description @option{text} value:
@example
this is a 'string': may contain one, or more, special characters
@end example

This string contains the @code{'} special escaping character, and the
@code{:} special character, so it needs to be escaped in this way:
@example
text=this is a \'string\'\: may contain one, or more, special characters
@end example

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:
@example
drawtext=text=this is a \\\'string\\\'\\: may contain one\, or more\, special characters
@end example
(note that in addition to the @code{\'} escaping special characters,
also @code{,} 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
@code{\} is special and needs to be escaped with another @code{\}, the
previous string will finally result in:
@example
-vf "drawtext=text=this is a \\\\\\'string\\\\\\'\\\\: may contain one\\, or more\\, special characters"
@end example

@chapter Timeline editing

Some filters support a generic @option{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:
@table @samp
@item t
timestamp expressed in seconds, NAN if the input timestamp is unknown

@item n
sequential number of the input frame, starting from 0

@item pos
the position in the file of the input frame, NAN if unknown

@item w
@item h
width and height of the input frame if video
@end table

Additionally, these filters support an @option{enable} command that can be used
to re-define the expression.

Like any other filtering option, the @option{enable} option follows the same
rules.

For example, to enable a blur filter (@ref{smartblur}) from 10 seconds to 3
minutes, and a @ref{curves} filter starting at 3 seconds:
@example
smartblur = enable='between(t,10,3*60)',
curves    = enable='gte(t,3)' : preset=cross_process
@end example

See @code{ffmpeg -filters} to view which filters have timeline support.

@chapter 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
@command{ffmpeg} @option{-h filter=<name of filter>}.
The name of the command is the name of the option and the argument is
the new value.

@anchor{framesync}
@chapter Options for filters with several inputs (framesync)
@c man begin 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.

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

@table @option
@item repeat
Repeat the last frame (the default).
@item endall
End both streams.
@item pass
Pass the main input through.
@end table

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

@item 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.
@end table

@c man end OPTIONS FOR FILTERS WITH SEVERAL INPUTS

@chapter Audio Filters
@c man begin AUDIO FILTERS

When you configure your FFmpeg build, you can disable any of the
existing filters using @code{--disable-filters}.
The configure output will show the audio filters included in your
build.

Below is a description of the currently available audio filters.

@section 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
@code{threshold} and dividing it by the factor set with @code{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".
@code{attack} determines how long the signal has to rise above the threshold
before any reduction will occur and @code{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
@code{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 @code{knee} flattens the
hard edge at the threshold in the range of the chosen decibels.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item level_in
Set input gain. Default is 1. Range is between 0.015625 and 64.

@item mode
Set mode of compressor operation. Can be @code{upward} or @code{downward}.
Default is @code{downward}.

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

@item 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 link
Choose if the @code{average} level between all channels of input stream
or the louder(@code{maximum}) channel of input stream affects the
reduction. Default is @code{average}.

@item detection
Should the exact signal be taken in case of @code{peak} or an RMS one in case
of @code{rms}. Default is @code{rms} which is mostly smoother.

@item mix
How much to use compressed signal in output. Default is 1.
Range is between 0 and 1.
@end table

@subsection Commands

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item contrast
Set contrast. Default is 33. Allowed range is between 0 and 100.
@end table

@section acopy

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

@section acrossfade

The cross fade is applied for specified duration near the end of first stream.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 duration, d
Specify the duration of the cross fade effect. See
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
for the accepted syntax.
By default the duration is determined by @var{nb_samples}.
If set this option is used instead of @var{nb_samples}.

@item overlap, o
Should first stream end overlap with second stream start. Default is enabled.

@item curve1
Set curve for cross fade transition for first stream.

@item curve2
Set curve for cross fade transition for second stream.

For description of available curve types see @ref{afade} filter description.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@end example
@end itemize

@section acrossover

@example
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
@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:

@table @option
@item level_in
Set level in.

@item level_out
Set level out.

@item bits
Set bit reduction.

@item mix
Set mixing amount.

@item mode
Can be linear: @code{lin} or logarithmic: @code{log}.

@item dc
Set DC.

@item aa
Set anti-aliasing.

@item samples
Set sample reduction.

@item lfo
Enable LFO. By default disabled.

@item lforange
Set LFO range.

@item lforate
Set LFO rate.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@section acue

Delay audio filtering until a given wallclock timestamp. See the @ref{cue}
filter.

@section adeclick
Remove impulsive noise from input audio.

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

@table @option
@item w
Set window size, in milliseconds. Allowed range is from @code{10} to
@code{100}. Default value is @code{55} milliseconds.
This sets size of window which will be processed at once.

@item o
Set window overlap, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from
@code{50} to @code{95}. Default value is @code{75} percent.
Setting this to a very high value increases impulsive noise removal but makes
whole process much slower.

@item a
Set autoregression order, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from
@code{0} to @code{25}. Default value is @code{2} percent. This option also
controls quality of interpolated samples using neighbour good samples.

@item t
Set threshold value. Allowed range is from @code{1} to @code{100}.
Default value is @code{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
Set burst fusion, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is @code{0} to
@code{10}. Default value is @code{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 m
Set overlap method.

It accepts the following values:
@table @option
@item a
Select overlap-add method. Even not interpolated samples are slightly
changed with this method.

@item s
Select overlap-save method. Not interpolated samples remain unchanged.
@end table

Default value is @code{a}.
@end table

@section adeclip
Remove clipped samples from input audio.

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

@table @option
@item w
Set window size, in milliseconds. Allowed range is from @code{10} to @code{100}.
Default value is @code{55} milliseconds.
This sets size of window which will be processed at once.

@item o
Set window overlap, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from @code{50}
to @code{95}. Default value is @code{75} percent.

@item a
Set autoregression order, in percentage of window size. Allowed range is from
@code{0} to @code{25}. Default value is @code{8} percent. This option also controls
quality of interpolated samples using neighbour good samples.

@item t
Set threshold value. Allowed range is from @code{1} to @code{100}.
Default value is @code{10}. Higher values make clip detection less aggressive.

@item n
Set size of histogram used to detect clips. Allowed range is from @code{100} to @code{9999}.
Default value is @code{1000}. Higher values make clip detection less aggressive.

@item m
Set overlap method.

It accepts the following values:
@table @option
@item a
Select overlap-add method. Even not interpolated samples are slightly changed
with this method.

@item s
Select overlap-save method. Not interpolated samples remain unchanged.
@end table

Default value is @code{a}.
@end table

@section adelay

Delay one or more audio channels.

Samples in delayed channel are filled with silence.

The filter accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item delays
Set list of delays in milliseconds for each channel separated by '|'.
Unused delays will be silently ignored. If number of given delays is
smaller than number of channels all remaining channels will not be delayed.
If you want to delay exact number of samples, append 'S' to number.
If you want instead to delay in seconds, append 's' to number.

@item all
Use last set delay for all remaining channels. By default is disabled.
This option if enabled changes how option @code{delays} is interpreted.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Delay first channel by 1.5 seconds, the third channel by 0.5 seconds and leave
the second channel (and any other channels that may be present) unchanged.
@example
adelay=1500|0|500
@end example

@item
Delay second channel by 500 samples, the third channel by 700 samples and leave
the first channel (and any other channels that may be present) unchanged.
@example
adelay=0|500S|700S
@end example

@item
Delay all channels by same number of samples:
@example
adelay=delays=64S:all=1
@end example
@end itemize

@section adenorm
Remedy denormals in audio by adding extremely low-level noise.

This filter shall be placed before any filter that can produce denormals.

A description of the accepted parameters follows.

@table @option
@item level
Set level of added noise in dB. Default is @code{-351}.
Allowed range is from -451 to -90.

@item type
Set type of added noise.

@table @option

@end table

Default is @code{dc}.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@section aderivative, aintegral

Compute derivative/integral of audio stream.

Applying both filters one after another produces original audio.

@section aecho

Apply echoing to the input audio.

Echoes are reflected sound and can occur naturally amongst mountains
(and sometimes large buildings) when talking or shouting; digital echo
effects emulate this behaviour and are often used to help fill out the
sound of a single instrument or vocal. The time difference between the
original signal and the reflection is the @code{delay}, and the
loudness of the reflected signal is the @code{decay}.
Multiple echoes can have different delays and decays.

@section 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 @var{threshold}
and dividing it by the factor set with @var{ratio}. The bottom of the noise
floor is set via @var{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 @var{attack} and @var{release}.

@var{attack} determines how long the signal has to fall below the threshold
before any reduction will occur and @var{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.

@table @option
@item level_in
Set input level before filtering.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 0.015625 to 64.

@item mode
Set the mode of operation. Can be @code{upward} or @code{downward}.
Default is @code{downward}. If set to @code{upward} mode, higher parts of signal
will be amplified, expanding dynamic range in upward direction.
Otherwise, in case of @code{downward} lower parts of signal will be reduced.

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

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

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

@item link
Choose if the average level between all channels or the louder channel affects
the reduction.
Default is @code{average}. Can be @code{average} or @code{maximum}.

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.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Merge two mono files into a stereo stream:
@example
amovie=left.wav [l] ; amovie=right.mp3 [r] ; [l] [r] amerge
@end example

@item

@end example
@end itemize

@section amix

Mixes multiple audio inputs into a single output.

Note that this filter only supports float samples (the @var{amerge}
and @var{pan} audio filters support many formats). If the @var{amix}
input has integer samples then @ref{aresample} will be automatically
inserted to perform the conversion to float samples.

For example
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT1 -i INPUT2 -i INPUT3 -filter_complex amix=inputs=3:duration=first:dropout_transition=3 OUTPUT
@end example
will mix 3 input audio streams to a single output with the same duration as the
first input and a dropout transition time of 3 seconds.

stream ends. The default value is 2 seconds.

@item weights
Specify weight of each input audio stream as sequence.
Each weight is separated by space. By default all inputs have same weight.

@item sum
Do not scale inputs but instead do only summation of samples.
Beware of heavy clipping if inputs are not normalized prior of filtering
or output from @var{amix} normalized after filtering. By default is disabled.

@section 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.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item level_in
Set input gain. By default it is 1. Range is [0.015625 - 64].

@item level_out
Set output gain. By default it is 1. Range is [0.015625 - 64].

sawup or sawdown. Default is sine.

@item amount
Set modulation. Define how much of original signal is affected by the LFO.

@item offset_l
Set left channel offset. Default is 0. Allowed range is [0 - 1].

@item offset_r
Set right channel offset. Default is 0.5. Allowed range is [0 - 1].

@item width
Set pulse width. Default is 1. Allowed range is [0 - 2].

@item timing
Set possible timing mode. Can be one of: bpm, ms or hz. Default is hz.

@item bpm
Set bpm. Default is 120. Allowed range is [30 - 300]. Only used if timing
is set to bpm.

@item ms
Set ms. Default is 500. Allowed range is [10 - 2000]. Only used if timing
is set to ms.

@item hz

sample with the timestamp @var{start} will be the first sample in the output.

@item end
Specify time of the first audio sample that will be dropped, i.e. the
audio sample immediately preceding the one with the timestamp @var{end} will be
the last sample in the output.

@item start_pts
Same as @var{start}, except this option sets the start timestamp in samples
instead of seconds.

@item end_pts
Same as @var{end}, except this option sets the end timestamp in samples instead
of seconds.

@item duration
The maximum duration of the output in seconds.

@item start_sample
The number of the first sample that should be output.

@item end_sample
The number of the first sample that should be dropped.
@end table

@option{start}, @option{end}, and @option{duration} are expressed as time
duration specifications; see
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the @option{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:
@itemize
@item
Drop everything except the second minute of input:
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=60:120
@end example

@item
Keep only the first 1000 samples:
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=end_sample=1000
@end example

@end itemize

@section axcorrelate
Calculate normalized cross-correlation between two input audio streams.

Resulted samples are always between -1 and 1 inclusive.
If result is 1 it means two input samples are highly correlated in that selected segment.
Result 0 means they are not correlated at all.
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:

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

@item algo
Set algorithm for cross-correlation. Can be @code{slow} or @code{fast}.
Default is @code{slow}. Fast algorithm assumes mean values over any given segment
are always zero and thus need much less calculations to make.
This is generally not true, but is valid for typical audio streams.

@section channelmap

Remap input channels to new locations.

It accepts the following parameters:
@table @option
@item map
Map channels from input to output. The argument is a '|'-separated list of
mappings, each in the @code{@var{in_channel}-@var{out_channel}} or
@var{in_channel} form. @var{in_channel} can be either the name of the input
channel (e.g. FL for front left) or its index in the input channel layout.
@var{out_channel} is the name of the output channel or its index in the output
channel layout. If @var{out_channel} is not given then it is implicitly an
index, starting with zero and increasing by one for each mapping.

@item channel_layout
The channel layout of the output stream.
@end table

If no mapping is present, the filter will implicitly map input channels to
output channels, preserving indices.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
For example, assuming a 5.1+downmix input MOV file,
@example
ffmpeg -i in.mov -filter 'channelmap=map=DL-FL|DR-FR' out.wav

@item channels
A channel layout describing the channels to be extracted as separate output streams
or "all" to extract each input channel as a separate stream. The default is "all".

Choosing channels not present in channel layout in the input will result in an error.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
For example, assuming a stereo input MP3 file,

@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:
@table @option
@item in_gain
Set input gain. Default is 0.4.

@item out_gain
Set output gain. Default is 0.4.

@item delays
Set delays. A typical delay is around 40ms to 60ms.

@item decays
Set decays.

@item speeds
Set speeds.

@item depths
Set depths.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item

@end example
@end itemize

@section compand
Compress or expand the audio's dynamic range.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item attacks
@item 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. @var{attacks} refers to
increase of volume and @var{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 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: @code{x0/y0|x1/y1|x2/y2|....} or
@code{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 @code{0/0} is assumed but
may be overridden (by @code{0/out-dBn}). Typical values for the transfer
function are @code{-70/-70|-60/-20|1/0}.

@item soft-knee
Set the curve radius in dB for all joints. It defaults to 0.01.

@item 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 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 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.

@section 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:

@table @option
@item mm
Set millimeters distance. This is compensation distance for fine tuning.
Default is 0.

Default is 1.

@item temp

Apply a DC shift to the audio.

This can be useful to remove a DC offset (caused perhaps by a hardware problem

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item length
Set window length in seconds used to split audio into segments of equal length.
Default is 3 seconds.
@end table

@section 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.

@table @option
@item 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 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
@code{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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the following commands:
@table @option
@item cN
Modify the @var{N}-th control value.

If the specified value is not valid, it is ignored and prior one is kept.
@end table

@section loudnorm

EBU R128 loudness normalization. Includes both dynamic and linear normalization modes.
Support for both single pass (livestreams, files) and double pass (files) modes.
This algorithm can target IL, LRA, and maximum true peak. In dynamic mode, to accurately
detect true peaks, the audio stream will be upsampled to 192 kHz.
Use the @code{-ar} option or @code{aresample} filter to explicitly set an output sample rate.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item I, i
Set integrated loudness target.
Range is -70.0 - -5.0. Default value is -24.0.

@item LRA, lra
Set loudness range target.
Range is 1.0 - 20.0. Default value is 7.0.

@item TP, tp
Set maximum true peak.
Range is -9.0 - +0.0. Default value is -2.0.

@item measured_I, measured_i
Measured IL of input file.
Range is -99.0 - +0.0.

@item measured_LRA, measured_lra
Measured LRA of input file.
Range is  0.0 - 99.0.

@item measured_TP, measured_tp
Measured true peak of input file.
Range is  -99.0 - +99.0.

@item measured_thresh
Measured threshold of input file.
Range is -99.0 - +0.0.

@item offset
Set offset gain. Gain is applied before the true-peak limiter.
Range is  -99.0 - +99.0. Default is +0.0.

@item linear
Normalize by linearly scaling the source audio.
@code{measured_I}, @code{measured_LRA}, @code{measured_TP},
and @code{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 @var{dynamic}.
Options are @code{true} or @code{false}. Default is @code{true}.

@item 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.
If set to @code{true}, this option will compensate for this effect.
Multi-channel input files are not affected by this option.
Options are true or false. Default is false.

@item print_format
Set print format for stats. Options are summary, json, or none.
Default value is none.

@section 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:

@table @option
@item 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.
@end table

@anchor{pan}
@section 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:
"@var{l}|@var{outdef}|@var{outdef}|..."

@table @option
@item l
output channel layout or number of channels

@item outdef
output channel specification, of the form:
"@var{out_name}=[@var{gain}*]@var{in_name}[(+-)[@var{gain}*]@var{in_name}...]"

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

@item gain
multiplicative coefficient for the channel, 1 leaving the volume unchanged

@item in_name
input channel to use, see out_name for details; it is not possible to mix
named and numbered input channels
@end table

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

@subsection Mixing examples

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

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

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

@subsection Remapping examples

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

@itemize
@item gain coefficients are zeroes or ones,
@item only one input per channel output,
@end itemize

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:
@example
pan="stereo| c0=FL | c1=FR"
@end example

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

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

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

@section replaygain

ReplayGain scanner filter. This filter takes an audio stream as an input and
outputs it unchanged.
At end of filtering it displays @code{track_gain} and @code{track_peak}.

@section resample

Convert the audio sample format, sample rate and channel layout. It is
not meant to be used directly.

@section rubberband

@section 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 @ref{pan} and @ref{amerge} filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item level_in
Set input gain. Default is 1. Range is between 0.015625 and 64.

@item mode
Set mode of compressor operation. Can be @code{upward} or @code{downward}.
Default is @code{downward}.

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

@item 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 link
Choose if the @code{average} level between all channels of side-chain stream
or the louder(@code{maximum}) channel of side-chain stream affects the
reduction. Default is @code{average}.

@item detection
Should the exact signal be taken in case of @code{peak} or an RMS one in case
of @code{rms}. Default is @code{rms} which is mainly smoother.

@item level_sc
Set sidechain gain. Default is 1. Range is between 0.015625 and 64.

@item mix
How much to use compressed signal in output. Default is 1.
Range is between 0 and 1.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@subsection Examples

@itemize

@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:

@table @option
@item level_in
Set input level before filtering.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 0.015625 to 64.

@item mode
Set the mode of operation. Can be @code{upward} or @code{downward}.
Default is @code{downward}. If set to @code{upward} mode, higher parts of signal
will be amplified, expanding dynamic range in upward direction.
Otherwise, in case of @code{downward} lower parts of signal will be reduced.

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

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

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

@item 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 level_sc
Set sidechain gain. Default is 1. Range is from 0.015625 to 64.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@section 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
@code{lavfi.silence_start} or @code{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 @code{lavfi.silence_duration} or @code{lavfi.silence_duration.X}
and @code{lavfi.silence_end} or @code{lavfi.silence_end.X} metadata
keys are set on the first frame after the silence. If @option{mono} is
enabled, and each channel is evaluated separately, the @code{.X}
suffixed keys are used, and @code{X} corresponds to the channel number.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 duration, d
Set silence duration until notification (default is 2 seconds). See
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
for the accepted syntax.

@item mono, m
Process each channel separately, instead of combined. By default is disabled.
@end table

@end example
@end itemize

@section silenceremove

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

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 @var{start_periods} will be @code{1} but it can be increased to higher
values to trim all audio up to specific count of non-silence periods.
Default value is @code{0}.

@item 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 @code{0}.

@item start_threshold
This indicates what sample value should be treated as silence. For digital
audio, a value of @code{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 @code{0}.

@item 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 start_mode
Specify mode of detection of silence end in start of multi-channel audio.
Can be @var{any} or @var{all}. Default is @var{any}.
With @var{any}, any sample that is detected as non-silence will cause
stopped trimming of silence.
With @var{all}, only if all channels are detected as non-silence will cause
stopped trimming of silence.

@item stop_periods
Set the count for trimming silence from the end of audio.
To remove silence from the middle of a file, specify a @var{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
@var{start_periods}, making it suitable for removing periods of silence
in the middle of the audio.
Default value is @code{0}.

@item 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 @code{0}.

@item stop_threshold
This is the same as @option{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 @code{0}.

@item 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 stop_mode
Specify mode of detection of silence start in end of multi-channel audio.
Can be @var{any} or @var{all}. Default is @var{any}.
With @var{any}, any sample that is detected as non-silence will cause
stopped trimming of silence.
With @var{all}, only if all channels are detected as non-silence will cause
stopped trimming of silence.

@item detection
Set how is silence detected. Can be @code{rms} or @code{peak}. Second is faster
and works better with digital silence which is exactly 0.
Default value is @code{rms}.

@item window
Set duration in number of seconds used to calculate size of window in number
of samples for detecting silence.
Default value is @code{0.02}. Allowed range is from @code{0} to @code{10}.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
The following example shows how this filter can be used to start a recording
that does not contain the delay at the start which usually occurs between
pressing the record button and the start of the performance:

@end example

@item
Trim all silence encountered from beginning to end where there is more than 1
second of silence in audio:
@example
silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-90dB
@end example

@item
Trim all digital silence samples, using peak detection, from beginning to end
where there is more than 0 samples of digital silence in audio and digital
silence is detected in all channels at same positions in stream:

@end example
@end itemize

@section sofalizer

SOFAlizer uses head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to create virtual
loudspeakers around the user for binaural listening via headphones (audio
formats up to 9 channels supported).
The HRTFs are stored in SOFA files (see @url{http://www.sofacoustics.org/} for a database).
SOFAlizer is developed at the Acoustics Research Institute (ARI) of the
Austrian Academy of Sciences.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with
@code{--enable-libmysofa}.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item sofa
Set the SOFA file used for rendering.

@item gain
Set gain applied to audio. Value is in dB. Default is 0.

@item rotation
Set rotation of virtual loudspeakers in deg. Default is 0.

@item elevation
Set elevation of virtual speakers in deg. Default is 0.

@item radius
Set distance in meters between loudspeakers and the listener with near-field
HRTFs. Default is 1.

@item type
Set processing type. Can be @var{time} or @var{freq}. @var{time} is
processing audio in time domain which is slow.
@var{freq} is processing audio in frequency domain which is fast.
Default is @var{freq}.

@item speakers
Set custom positions of virtual loudspeakers. Syntax for this option is:
<CH> <AZIM> <ELEV>[|<CH> <AZIM> <ELEV>|...].
Each virtual loudspeaker is described with short channel name following with
azimuth and elevation in degrees.
Each virtual loudspeaker description is separated by '|'.
For example to override front left and front right channel positions use:
'speakers=FL 45 15|FR 345 15'.
Descriptions with unrecognised channel names are ignored.

@item lfegain
Set custom gain for LFE channels. Value is in dB. Default is 0.

@item framesize

@section 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:

@table @option
@item 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 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 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 @option{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 @option{threshold} all samples belonging to
that peak's half-cycle will be compressed by current compression factor.

@item 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 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 @option{expansion} value.
Setting this options too high may lead to distortions.

@item 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 @option{compression} value.

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

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

@item 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.

@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Halve the input audio volume:
@example
volume=volume=0.5
volume=volume=1/2
volume=volume=-6.0206dB
@end example

In all the above example the named key for @option{volume} can be
omitted, for example like in:

@end itemize

@section volumedetect

Detect the volume of the input video.

The filter has no parameters. The input is not modified. 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.

@subsection Examples

Here is an excerpt of the output:
@example
[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
@end example

It means that:
@itemize
@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.
@end itemize

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.

@chapter Audio Sources
@c man begin AUDIO SOURCES

Below is a description of the currently available audio sources.

@section abuffer

Buffer audio 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 @file{libavfilter/buffersrc.h}.

It accepts the following parameters:
@table @option

@item time_base
The timebase which will be used for timestamps of submitted frames. It must be
either a floating-point number or in @var{numerator}/@var{denominator} form.

@item sample_rate
The sample rate of the incoming audio buffers.

@item sample_fmt
The sample format of the incoming audio buffers.
Either a sample format name or its corresponding integer representation from
the enum AVSampleFormat in @file{libavutil/samplefmt.h}

@item channel_layout
The channel layout of the incoming audio buffers.
Either a channel layout name from channel_layout_map in
@file{libavutil/channel_layout.c} or its corresponding integer representation
from the AV_CH_LAYOUT_* macros in @file{libavutil/channel_layout.h}

@item channels
The number of channels of the incoming audio buffers.
If both @var{channels} and @var{channel_layout} are specified, then they
must be consistent.

@end table

@subsection Examples

@example
abuffer=sample_rate=44100:sample_fmt=s16p:channel_layout=stereo
@end example

will instruct the source to accept planar 16bit signed stereo at 44100Hz.
Since the sample format with name "s16p" corresponds to the number
6 and the "stereo" channel layout corresponds to the value 0x3, this is
equivalent to:
@example
abuffer=sample_rate=44100:sample_fmt=6:channel_layout=0x3
@end example

@section aevalsrc

Generate an audio signal specified by an expression.

This source accepts in input one or more expressions (one for each
channel), which are evaluated and used to generate a corresponding
audio signal.

This source accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item exprs
Set the '|'-separated expressions list for each separate channel. In case the
@option{channel_layout} option is not specified, the selected channel layout
depends on the number of provided expressions. Otherwise the last
specified expression is applied to the remaining output channels.

@item channel_layout, c
Set the channel layout. The number of channels in the specified layout
must be equal to the number of specified expressions.

@item duration, d
Set the minimum duration of the sourced audio. See
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
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.

@item nb_samples, n
Set the number of samples per channel per each output frame,
default to 1024.

@chapter Audio Sinks
@c man begin AUDIO SINKS

Below is a description of the currently available audio sinks.

@section abuffersink

Buffer audio frames, and make them available to the end of filter chain.

This sink is mainly intended for programmatic use, in particular
through the interface defined in @file{libavfilter/buffersink.h}
or the options system.

It accepts a pointer to an AVABufferSinkContext structure, which
defines the incoming buffers' formats, to be passed as the opaque
parameter to @code{avfilter_init_filter} for initialization.
@section anullsink

Null audio sink; do absolutely nothing with the input audio. It is
mainly useful as a template and for use in analysis / debugging
tools.

@c man end AUDIO SINKS

@chapter Video Filters
@c man begin VIDEO FILTERS

When you configure your FFmpeg build, you can disable any of the
existing filters using @code{--disable-filters}.
The configure output will show the video filters included in your
build.

Below is a description of the currently available video filters.

@section 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.

@table @option
@item x
Region distance in pixels from the left edge of the frame.
@item y
Region distance in pixels from the top edge of the frame.
@item w
Region width in pixels.
@item h
Region height in pixels.

The parameters @var{x}, @var{y}, @var{w} and @var{h} are expressions,
and may contain the following variables:
@table @option
@item iw
Width of the input frame.
@item ih
Height of the input frame.
@end table

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

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Mark the centre quarter of the frame as interesting.
@example
addroi=iw/4:ih/4:iw/2:ih/2:-1/10
@end example
@item
Mark the 100-pixel-wide region on the left edge of the frame as very
uninteresting (to be encoded at much lower quality than the rest of
the frame).
@example
addroi=0:0:100:ih:+1/5
@end example
@end itemize

@section alphaextract

Extract the alpha component from the input as a grayscale video. This
is especially useful with the @var{alphamerge} filter.

@section alphamerge

Add or replace the alpha component of the primary input with the
grayscale value of a second input. This is intended for use with
@var{alphaextract} to allow the transmission or storage of frame
sequences that have alpha in a format that doesn't support an alpha
channel.

For example, to reconstruct full frames from a normal YUV-encoded video
and a separate video created with @var{alphaextract}, you might use:
@example
movie=in_alpha.mkv [alpha]; [in][alpha] alphamerge [out]
@end example

@end table

@section 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 @code{info}. In addition,
a log line with level @code{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 @code{lavfi.black_start} and to the first frame
after the black segment ends with key @code{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:

@table @option
@item 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.

@item picture_black_ratio_th, pic_th

Express the minimum value for the ratio:
@example
@var{nb_black_pixels} / @var{nb_pixels}
@end example

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

@item pixel_black_th, pix_th
Set the threshold for considering a pixel "black".

The threshold expresses the maximum pixel luminance value for which a
pixel is considered "black". The provided value is scaled according to
the following equation:
@example
@var{absolute_threshold} = @var{luminance_minimum_value} + @var{pixel_black_th} * @var{luminance_range_size}
@end example

@var{luminance_range_size} and @var{luminance_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.
@end table

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

@section 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.

This filter exports frame metadata @code{lavfi.blackframe.pblack}.
The value represents the percentage of pixels in the picture that
are below the threshold value.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item amount
The percentage of the pixels that have to be below the threshold; it defaults to
@code{98}.

@item threshold, thresh
The threshold below which a pixel value is considered black; it defaults to
@code{32}.

@end table

@anchor{blend}
@section blend

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.

@table @option
@item planes
Set which planes to process.

@item impulse
Set which impulse video frames will be processed, can be @var{first}
or @var{all}. Default is @var{all}.
@end table

The @code{convolve} filter also supports the @ref{framesync} options.

@section copy

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

@anchor{coreimage}
@section 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:
@table @option
@item 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.
@example
list_filters=true
@end example

@item filter
Specify all filters by their respective name and options.
Use @var{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 @code{default} is available to use default options for a
filter.

It is required to specify either @code{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:
@example
filter=<NAME>@@<OPTION>=<VALUE>[@@<OPTION>=<VALUE>][@@...][#<NAME>@@<OPTION>=<VALUE>[@@<OPTION>=<VALUE>][@@...]][#...]
@end example

@item 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:
@example
output_rect=x\ y\ width\ height
@end example
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.
@example
output_rect=25\ 25\ 100\ 100
@end example
@end table

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 @ref{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.

@subsection Examples

@end example
@end itemize

@section crop

Crop the input video to given dimensions.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option
@item w, out_w
The width of the output video. It defaults to @code{iw}.
This expression is evaluated only once during the filter
configuration, or when the @samp{w} or @samp{out_w} command is sent.

@item h, out_h
The height of the output video. It defaults to @code{ih}.
This expression is evaluated only once during the filter
configuration, or when the @samp{h} or @samp{out_h} command is sent.

@item x
The horizontal position, in the input video, of the left edge of the output
video. It defaults to @code{(in_w-out_w)/2}.
This expression is evaluated per-frame.

@item y
The vertical position, in the input video, of the top edge of the output video.
It defaults to @code{(in_h-out_h)/2}.
This expression is evaluated per-frame.

@item 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 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.
@end table

The @var{out_w}, @var{out_h}, @var{x}, @var{y} parameters are
expressions containing the following constants:

@table @option
@item x
@item y
The computed values for @var{x} and @var{y}. They are evaluated for
each new frame.

@item in_w
@item in_h
The input width and height.

@item iw
@item ih
These are the same as @var{in_w} and @var{in_h}.

@item out_w
@item out_h
The output (cropped) width and height.

@item ow
@item oh
These are the same as @var{out_w} and @var{out_h}.

@item a
same as @var{iw} / @var{ih}

@item sar
input sample aspect ratio

@item dar
input display aspect ratio, it is the same as (@var{iw} / @var{ih}) * @var{sar}

@item hsub
@item vsub
horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values. For example for the
pixel format "yuv422p" @var{hsub} is 2 and @var{vsub} is 1.

@item n
The number of the input frame, starting from 0.

@item pos
the position in the file of the input frame, NAN if unknown

@item t
The timestamp expressed in seconds. It's NAN if the input timestamp is unknown.

@end table

The expression for @var{out_w} may depend on the value of @var{out_h},
and the expression for @var{out_h} may depend on @var{out_w}, but they
cannot depend on @var{x} and @var{y}, as @var{x} and @var{y} are
evaluated after @var{out_w} and @var{out_h}.

The @var{x} and @var{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 @var{x} may depend on @var{y}, and the expression
for @var{y} may depend on @var{x}.

@table @option
@item w, out_w
@item h, out_h
@item x
@item y
Set width/height of the output video and the horizontal/vertical position
in the input video.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

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

@section cropdetect

Auto-detect the crop size.

It calculates the necessary cropping parameters and prints the
recommended parameters via the logging system. The detected dimensions
correspond to the non-black area of the input video.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

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

@item 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.
@end table

@anchor{cue}
@section cue

Delay video filtering until a given wallclock timestamp. The filter first
passes on @option{preroll} amount of frames, then it buffers at most
@option{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.

@table @option

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

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

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

@end table

@anchor{curves}
@section 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 @var{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 @var{(0;0)} and
@var{(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 (using a natural cubic spline interpolation) 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 @var{x} and @var{y} values must
be in the @var{[0;1]} interval.  If the computed curves happened to go outside
the vector spaces, the values will be clipped accordingly.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item preset
Select one of the available color presets. This option can be used in addition
to the @option{r}, @option{g}, @option{b} parameters; in this case, the later
options takes priority on the preset values.
Available presets are:
@table @samp
@item none
@item color_negative
@item cross_process
@item darker
@item increase_contrast
@item lighter
@item linear_contrast
@item medium_contrast
@item negative
@item strong_contrast
@item vintage
@end table
Default is @code{none}.
@item 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
@option{r}, @option{g}, @option{b} or @option{all} since it acts like a
post-processing LUT.
@item red, r
Set the key points for the red component.
@item green, g
Set the key points for the green component.
@item blue, b
Set the key points for the blue component.
@item all
Set the key points for all components (not including master).
Can be used in addition to the other key points component
options. In this case, the unset component(s) will fallback on this
@option{all} setting.
@item psfile
Specify a Photoshop curves file (@code{.acv}) to import the settings from.
@item plot
Save Gnuplot script of the curves in specified file.
@end table

To avoid some filtergraph syntax conflicts, each key points list need to be
defined using the following syntax: @code{x0/y0 x1/y1 x2/y2 ...}.

@subsection Commands

This filter supports same @ref{commands} as options.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Increase slightly the middle level of blue:
@example
curves=blue='0/0 0.5/0.58 1/1'
@end example

@item

@end example
Here we obtain the following coordinates for each components:
@table @var
@item red
@code{(0;0.11) (0.42;0.51) (1;0.95)}
@item green
@code{(0;0) (0.50;0.48) (1;1)}

@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports same @ref{commands} as options excluding @code{size} option.

@section dblur
Apply Directional blur filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item angle
Set angle of directional blur. Default is @code{45}.

@item radius
Set radius of directional blur. Default is @code{5}.

@item planes
Set which planes to filter. By default all planes are filtered.
@end table

@subsection Commands
This filter supports same @ref{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.

@section dctdnoiz

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

This filter is not designed for real time.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item sigma, s
Set the noise sigma constant.

This @var{sigma} defines a hard threshold of @code{3 * sigma}; every DCT
coefficient (absolute value) below this threshold with be dropped.

If you need a more advanced filtering, see @option{expr}.

Default is @code{0}.

@item 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 @var{blocksize}-1, which is the best possible setting.

@item 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 @option{sigma} option will be ignored.

The absolute value of the coefficient can be accessed through the @var{c}
variable.

@item n
Set the @var{blocksize} using the number of bits. @code{1<<@var{n}} defines the
@var{blocksize}, which is the width and height of the processed blocks.

The default value is @var{3} (8x8) and can be raised to @var{4} for a
@var{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.
@end table

@subsection Examples

Apply a denoise with a @option{sigma} of @code{4.5}:
@example
dctdnoiz=4.5
@end example

The same operation can be achieved using the expression system:
@example
dctdnoiz=e='gte(c, 4.5*3)'
@end example

Violent denoise using a block size of @code{16x16}:
@example
dctdnoiz=15:n=4
@end example

@section deband

Remove banding artifacts from input video.
It works by replacing banded pixels with average value of referenced pixels.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 1thr
@item 2thr
@item 3thr
@item 4thr
Set banding detection threshold for each plane. Default is 0.02.
Valid range is 0.00003 to 0.5.
If difference between current pixel and reference pixel is less than threshold,
it will be considered as banded.

@item range, r
Banding detection range in pixels. Default is 16. If positive, random number
in range 0 to set value will be used. If negative, exact absolute value
will be used.
The range defines square of four pixels around current pixel.

@item direction, d
Set direction in radians from which four pixel will be compared. If positive,
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 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.

@item coupling, c
If enabled, current pixel is changed if and only if all pixel components are banded,
e.g. banding detection threshold is triggered for all color components.
The default is disabled.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@section deblock

Remove blocking artifacts from input video.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item filter
Set filter type, can be @var{weak} or @var{strong}. Default is @var{strong}.
This controls what kind of deblocking is applied.

@item block
Set size of block, allowed range is from 4 to 512. Default is @var{8}.

@item alpha
@item beta
@item gamma
@item delta
Set blocking detection thresholds. Allowed range is 0 to 1.
Defaults are: @var{0.098} for @var{alpha} and @var{0.05} for the rest.
Using higher threshold gives more deblocking strength.
Setting @var{alpha} controls threshold detection at exact edge of block.
Remaining options controls threshold detection near the edge. Each one for
below/above or left/right. Setting any of those to @var{0} disables
deblocking.

@item planes
Set planes to filter. Default is to filter all available planes.

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@anchor{decimate}
@section decimate

Drop duplicated frames at regular intervals.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item cycle
Set the number of frames from which one will be dropped. Setting this to
@var{N} means one frame in every batch of @var{N} frames will be dropped.
Default is @code{5}.

@item dupthresh
Set the threshold for duplicate detection. If the difference metric for a frame
is less than or equal to this value, then it is declared as duplicate. Default
is @code{1.1}

@item scthresh
Set scene change threshold. Default is @code{15}.

@item blockx
@item blocky
Set the size of the x and y-axis blocks used during metric calculations.
Larger blocks give better noise suppression, but also give worse detection of
small movements. Must be a power of two. Default is @code{32}.

@item ppsrc
Mark main input as a pre-processed input and activate clean source input
stream. This allows the input to be pre-processed with various filters to help
the metrics calculation while keeping the frame selection lossless. When set to
@code{1}, the first stream is for the pre-processed input, and the second
stream is the clean source from where the kept frames are chosen. Default is
@code{0}.

@item chroma
Set whether or not chroma is considered in the metric calculations. Default is
@code{1}.
@end table

finding the right @var{x}, @var{y}, @var{w}, and @var{h} parameters.
The default value is 0.

The rectangle is drawn on the outermost pixels which will be (partly)
replaced with interpolated values. The values of the next pixels
immediately outside this rectangle in each direction will be used to
compute the interpolated pixel values inside the rectangle.

@end table

The parameters for @var{x} and @var{y} are expressions containing the
following constants and functions:

@table @option
@item dar
input display aspect ratio, it is the same as (@var{w} / @var{h}) * @var{sar}

@item hsub
@item vsub
horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values. For example for the
pixel format "yuv422p" @var{hsub} is 2 and @var{vsub} is 1.

@item line_h, lh
the height of each text line

@item main_h, h, H
the input height

@item main_w, w, W
the input width

@item max_glyph_a, ascent
the maximum distance from the baseline to the highest/upper grid
coordinate used to place a glyph outline point, for all the rendered

It is a positive value, due to the grid's orientation with the Y axis
upwards.

@item 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
upwards.

@item max_glyph_h
maximum glyph height, that is the maximum height for all the glyphs
contained in the rendered text, it is equivalent to @var{ascent} -
@var{descent}.

@item text_h, th
the height of the rendered text

@item text_w, tw
the width of the rendered text

@item x
@item y
the x and y offset coordinates where the text is drawn.

These parameters allow the @var{x} and @var{y} expressions to refer
to each other, so you can for example specify @code{y=x/dar}.

@item pict_type

@end table

@anchor{drawtext_expansion}
@subsection Text expansion

If @option{expansion} is set to @code{strftime},
the filter recognizes strftime() sequences in the provided text and
expands them accordingly. Check the documentation of strftime(). This
feature is deprecated.

If @option{expansion} is set to @code{none}, the text is printed verbatim.

If @option{expansion} is set to @code{normal} (which is the default),
the following expansion mechanism is used.

The backslash character @samp{\}, followed by any character, always expands to
the second character.

Sequences of the form @code{%@{...@}} 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
@option{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 avoids these
problems.

The following functions are available:

@table @command

@item 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 @var{x} and
@var{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 @var{text_w} and @var{text_h} will have an undefined
value.

@item 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 @var{expr} function.
The second argument specifies the output format. Allowed values are @samp{x},
@samp{X}, @samp{d} and @samp{u}. They are treated exactly as in the
@code{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 gmtime
The time at which the filter is running, expressed in UTC.
It can accept an argument: a strftime() format string.

@item localtime
The time at which the filter is running, expressed in the local time zone.
It can accept an argument: a strftime() format string.

@item 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 @code{ffprobe -show_frames}.

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

@item n, frame_num
The frame number, starting from 0.

@item pict_type
A one character description of the current picture type.

@item 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 @code{flt}
for seconds as a decimal number with microsecond accuracy; @code{hms} stands
for a formatted @var{[-]HH:MM:SS.mmm} timestamp with millisecond accuracy.
@code{gmtime} stands for the timestamp of the frame formatted as UTC time;
@code{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 @code{hms}, a third argument @code{24HH} may be
supplied to present the hour part of the formatted timestamp in 24h format
(00-23).

If the format is set to @code{localtime} or @code{gmtime},
a third argument may be supplied: a strftime() format string.
By default, @var{YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS} format will be used.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports altering parameters via commands:
@table @option
@item reinit
Alter existing filter parameters.

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

@example
fontsize=56:fontcolor=green:text='Hello World'
@end example

Full filter invocation with sendcmd would look like this:

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

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

@section field

Extract a single field from an interlaced image using stride
arithmetic to avoid wasting CPU time. The output frames are marked as
non-interlaced.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item type
Specify whether to extract the top (if the value is @code{0} or
@code{top}) or the bottom field (if the value is @code{1} or
@code{bottom}).
@end table

@section fieldhint

Create new frames by copying the top and bottom fields from surrounding frames
supplied as numbers by the hint file.

@table @option
@item hint
Set file containing hints: absolute/relative frame numbers.

There must be one line for each frame in a clip. Each line must contain two
numbers separated by the comma, optionally followed by @code{-} or @code{+}.
Numbers supplied on each line of file can not be out of [N-1,N+1] where N
is current frame number for @code{absolute} mode or out of [-1, 1] range
for @code{relative} mode. First number tells from which frame to pick up top
field and second number tells from which frame to pick up bottom field.

If optionally followed by @code{+} output frame will be marked as interlaced,
else if followed by @code{-} output frame will be marked as progressive, else
it will be marked same as input frame.
If optionally followed by @code{t} output frame will use only top field, or in

@section 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 @code{fieldmatch} needs to be
followed by a decimation filter such as @ref{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,
@code{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 @ref{yadif} before decimation.

In addition to the various configuration options, @code{fieldmatch} can take an
optional second stream, activated through the @option{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 @code{fieldmatch} is based on. While the semantic and usage are very
close, some behaviour and options names can differ.

The @ref{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: @code{dejudder,fps=30000/1001,fieldmatch,decimate}.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item order
Specify the assumed field order of the input stream. Available values are:

@table @samp
@item auto
Auto detect parity (use FFmpeg's internal parity value).
@item bff
Assume bottom field first.
@item tff
Assume top field first.
@end table

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

Default value is @var{auto}.

@item mode
Set the matching mode or strategy to use. @option{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, @option{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 @option{pc} and @option{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 @ref{p/c/n/u/b meaning} section.

Available values are:

@table @samp
@item pc
2-way matching (p/c)
@item pc_n
2-way matching, and trying 3rd match if still combed (p/c + n)
@item pc_u
2-way matching, and trying 3rd match (same order) if still combed (p/c + u)
@item 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 pcn
3-way matching (p/c/n)
@item 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)
@end table

The parenthesis at the end indicate the matches that would be used for that
mode assuming @option{order}=@var{tff} (and @option{field} on @var{auto} or
@var{top}).

In terms of speed @option{pc} mode is by far the fastest and @option{pcn_ub} is
the slowest.

Default value is @var{pc_n}.

@item 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 @option{clip2} feature from
VFM/TFM.

Default value is @code{0} (disabled).

@item field
Set the field to match from. It is recommended to set this to the same value as
@option{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:

@table @samp
@item auto
Automatic (same value as @option{order}).
@item bottom
Match from the bottom field.
@item top
Match from the top field.
@end table

Default value is @var{auto}.

@item 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 @code{0}
only if your clip has bad chroma problems such as heavy rainbowing or other
artifacts. Setting this to @code{0} could also be used to speed things up at
the cost of some accuracy.

Default value is @code{1}.

@item y0
@item y1
These define an exclusion band which excludes the lines between @option{y0} and
@option{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. @option{y0} sets the starting scan line and
@option{y1} sets the ending line; all lines in between @option{y0} and
@option{y1} (including @option{y0} and @option{y1}) will be ignored. Setting
@option{y0} and @option{y1} to the same value will disable the feature.
@option{y0} and @option{y1} defaults to @code{0}.

@item scthresh
Set the scene change detection threshold as a percentage of maximum change on
the luma plane. Good values are in the @code{[8.0, 14.0]} range. Scene change
detection is only relevant in case @option{combmatch}=@var{sc}.  The range for
@option{scthresh} is @code{[0.0, 100.0]}.

Default value is @code{12.0}.

@item combmatch
When @option{combatch} is not @var{none}, @code{fieldmatch} will take into
account the combed scores of matches when deciding what match to use as the
final match. Available values are:

@table @samp
@item none
No final matching based on combed scores.
@item sc
Combed scores are only used when a scene change is detected.
@item full
Use combed scores all the time.
@end table

Default is @var{sc}.

@item combdbg
Force @code{fieldmatch} to calculate the combed metrics for certain matches and
print them. This setting is known as @option{micout} in TFM/VFM vocabulary.
Available values are:

@table @samp
@item none
No forced calculation.
@item pcn
Force p/c/n calculations.
@item pcnub
Force p/c/n/u/b calculations.
@end table

Default value is @var{none}.

@item 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
@code{-1} (every pixel will be detected as combed) to @code{255} (no pixel will
be detected as combed). This is basically a pixel difference value. A good
range is @code{[8, 12]}.

Default value is @code{9}.

@item 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 @option{chroma}=@var{0} is usually more reliable, except for the case
where there is chroma only combing in the source.

Default value is @code{0}.

@item blockx
@item 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
@option{combpel} pixels are required to be detected as combed for a frame to be
declared combed. See the @option{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 @code{16}.

@item combpel
The number of combed pixels inside any of the @option{blocky} by
@option{blockx} size blocks on the frame for the frame to be detected as
combed. While @option{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 @option{blockx} and @option{blocky} settings) on the
frame. Minimum value is @code{0} and maximum is @code{blocky x blockx} (at
which point no frames will ever be detected as combed). This setting is known
as @option{MI} in TFM/VFM vocabulary.

Default value is @code{80}.
@end table

@anchor{p/c/n/u/b meaning}
@subsection p/c/n/u/b meaning

@subsubsection p/c/n

We assume the following telecined stream:

@example
Top fields:     1 2 2 3 4
Bottom fields:  1 2 3 4 4
@end example

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 @code{fieldmatch} is configured to run a matching from bottom
(@option{field}=@var{bottom}) this is how this input stream get transformed:

@example
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
@end example

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 @ref{decimate} filter.

The same operation now matching from top fields (@option{field}=@var{top})
looks like this:

@example
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
@end example

In these examples, we can see what @var{p}, @var{c} and @var{n} mean;
basically, they refer to the frame and field of the opposite parity:

@itemize
@item @var{p} matches the field of the opposite parity in the previous frame
@item @var{c} matches the field of the opposite parity in the current frame
@item @var{n} matches the field of the opposite parity in the next frame
@end itemize

@subsubsection u/b

The @var{u} and @var{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 (@option{field}=@var{bottom}):
@example
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
@end example

With top matching (@option{field}=@var{top}):
@example
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          2          2          1          2
                 2          1          3          2          2
@end example

@subsection Examples

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

Advanced IVTC, with fallback on @ref{yadif} for still combed frames:
@example
fieldmatch=order=tff:combmatch=full, yadif=deint=interlaced, decimate
@end example

@section fieldorder

Transform the field order of the input video.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item order
The output field order. Valid values are @var{tff} for top field first or @var{bff}
for bottom field first.
@end table

The default value is @samp{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:
@example
ffmpeg -i in.vob -vf "fieldorder=bff" out.dv
@end example

@section 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.

@section 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:

@table @option
@item left
Number of pixels to fill from left border.

@item right
Number of pixels to fill from right border.

@item top
Number of pixels to fill from top border.

@item bottom
Number of pixels to fill from bottom border.

@item mode
Set fill mode.

It accepts the following values:

Libavfilter will try to pick one that is suitable as input to
the next filter.

It accepts the following parameters:
@table @option

@item pix_fmts
A '|'-separated list of pixel format names, such as
"pix_fmts=yuv420p|monow|rgb24".

@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Convert the input video to the @var{yuv420p} format
@example

@anchor{fps}
@section fps

Convert the video to specified constant frame rate by duplicating or dropping
frames as necessary.

It accepts the following parameters:
@table @option

@item fps
The desired output frame rate. The default is @code{25}.

@item 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 round
Timestamp (PTS) rounding method.

Possible values are:
@table @option
@item zero
round towards 0
@item inf
round away from 0
@item down
round towards -infinity
@item up
round towards +infinity
@item near
round to nearest
@end table
The default is @code{near}.

@item eof_action
Action performed when reading the last frame.

Possible values are:
@table @option
@item round
Use same timestamp rounding method as used for other frames.
@item pass
Pass through last frame if input duration has not been reached yet.
@end table
The default is @code{round}.

@end table

Alternatively, the options can be specified as a flat string:
@var{fps}[:@var{start_time}[:@var{round}]].

See also the @ref{setpts} filter.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
A typical usage in order to set the fps to 25:
@example

@end example
@end itemize

@section 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 @ref{scale} and
@ref{fps} filters.

It accepts the following parameters:
@table @option

@item format
The desired packing format. Supported values are:

@table @option

@item sbs
The views are next to each other (default).

@item tab
The views are on top of each other.

@item lines
The views are packed by line.

@item columns
The views are packed by column.

@item frameseq
The views are temporally interleaved.

@end table

@end table

Some examples:

@example
# 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
@end example

@section 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.

@table @option
@item fps
Specify the output frames per second. This option can also be specified
as a value alone. The default is @code{50}.

@item 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 [@code{0}-@code{255}],
the default is @code{15}.

@item 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 [@code{0}-@code{255}],
the default is @code{240}.

@item 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 @code{8.2}.

@item flags
Specify flags influencing the filter process.

Available value for @var{flags} is:

@table @option
@item scene_change_detect, scd
Enable scene change detection using the value of the option @var{scene}.
This flag is enabled by default.
@end table
@end table

@section framestep

Select one frame every N-th frame.

This filter accepts the following option:
@table @option
@item step
Select frame after every @code{step} frames.
Allowed values are positive integers higher than 0. Default value is @code{1}.
@end table

@section 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
@code{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
@code{lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_duration} and
@code{lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_end} metadata keys are set on the first frame
after the freeze.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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.

@item duration, d
Set freeze duration until notification (default is 2 seconds).
@end table

@section freezeframes

Freeze video frames.

This filter freezes video frames using frame from 2nd input.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item first
Set number of first frame from which to start freeze.

@item last
Set number of last frame from which to end freeze.

@item replace
Set number of frame from 2nd input which will be used instead of replaced frames.
@end table

@anchor{frei0r}
@section 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 @code{--enable-frei0r}.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item filter_name
The name of the frei0r effect to load. If the environment variable
@env{FREI0R_PATH} is defined, the frei0r effect is searched for in each of the
directories specified by the colon-separated list in @env{FREI0R_PATH}.
Otherwise, the standard frei0r paths are searched, in this order:
@file{HOME/.frei0r-1/lib/}, @file{/usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/},
@file{/usr/lib/frei0r-1/}.

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

@end table

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

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Apply the distort0r effect, setting the first two double parameters:
@example
frei0r=filter_name=distort0r:filter_params=0.5|0.01
@end example

@item
Apply the colordistance effect, taking a color as the first parameter:
@example
frei0r=colordistance:0.2/0.3/0.4
frei0r=colordistance:violet
frei0r=colordistance:0x112233
@end example

@item
Apply the perspective effect, specifying the top left and top right image
positions:
@example
frei0r=perspective:0.2/0.2|0.8/0.2
@end example
@end itemize

For more information, see
@url{http://frei0r.dyne.org}

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the @option{filter_params} option as @ref{commands}.

@section fspp

Apply fast and simple postprocessing. It is a faster version of @ref{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:

@table @option
@item quality
Set quality. This option defines the number of levels for averaging. It accepts
an integer in the range 4-5. Default value is @code{4}.

@item 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 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 @code{0} − PSNR optimal.

@item use_bframe_qp
Enable the use of the QP from the B-Frames if set to @code{1}. Using this
option may cause flicker since the B-Frames have often larger QP. Default is
@code{0} (not enabled).

@end table

@section gblur

Apply Gaussian blur filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item sigma
Set horizontal sigma, standard deviation of Gaussian blur. Default is @code{0.5}.

@item steps
Set number of steps for Gaussian approximation. Default is @code{1}.

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

@item sigmaV
Set vertical sigma, if negative it will be same as @code{sigma}.
Default is @code{-1}.
@end table

@subsection 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.

@section geq

Apply generic equation to each pixel.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item lum_expr, lum
Set the luminance expression.
@item cb_expr, cb
Set the chrominance blue expression.
@item cr_expr, cr
Set the chrominance red expression.
@item alpha_expr, a
Set the alpha expression.
@item red_expr, r
Set the red expression.
@item green_expr, g
Set the green expression.
@item blue_expr, b
Set the blue expression.
@end table

The colorspace is selected according to the specified options. If one
of the @option{lum_expr}, @option{cb_expr}, or @option{cr_expr}
options is specified, the filter will automatically select a YCbCr
colorspace. If one of the @option{red_expr}, @option{green_expr}, or
@option{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 luminance expression.

The expressions can use the following variables and functions:

@table @option
@item N
The sequential number of the filtered frame, starting from @code{0}.

@item X
@item Y
The coordinates of the current sample.

@item W
@item H
The width and height of the image.

@item SW
@item SH
Width and height scale depending on the currently filtered plane. It is the
ratio between the corresponding luma plane number of pixels and the current
plane ones. E.g. for YUV4:2:0 the values are @code{1,1} for the luma plane, and
@code{0.5,0.5} for chroma planes.

@item T
Time of the current frame, expressed in seconds.

@item p(x, y)
Return the value of the pixel at location (@var{x},@var{y}) of the current
plane.

@item lum(x, y)
Return the value of the pixel at location (@var{x},@var{y}) of the luminance
plane.

@item cb(x, y)
Return the value of the pixel at location (@var{x},@var{y}) of the
blue-difference chroma plane. Return 0 if there is no such plane.

@item cr(x, y)
Return the value of the pixel at location (@var{x},@var{y}) of the
red-difference chroma plane. Return 0 if there is no such plane.

@item r(x, y)
@item g(x, y)
@item b(x, y)
Return the value of the pixel at location (@var{x},@var{y}) of the
red/green/blue component. Return 0 if there is no such component.

@item alpha(x, y)
Return the value of the pixel at location (@var{x},@var{y}) of the alpha
plane. Return 0 if there is no such plane.

@item psum(x,y), lumsum(x, y), cbsum(x,y), crsum(x,y), rsum(x,y), gsum(x,y), bsum(x,y), alphasum(x,y)
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 interpolation
Set one of interpolation methods:
@table @option
@item nearest, n
@item bilinear, b
@end table
Default is bilinear.
@end table

For functions, if @var{x} and @var{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.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Flip the image horizontally:
@example
geq=p(W-X\,Y)
@end example

@item
Generate a bidimensional sine wave, with angle @code{PI/3} and a
wavelength of 100 pixels:
@example
geq=128 + 100*sin(2*(PI/100)*(cos(PI/3)*(X-50*T) + sin(PI/3)*Y)):128:128
@end example

@item
Generate a fancy enigmatic moving light:
@example
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
@end example

@item

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

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

@item
Create a radial gradient that is the same size as the input (also see
the @ref{vignette} filter):
@example
geq=lum=255*gauss((X/W-0.5)*3)*gauss((Y/H-0.5)*3)/gauss(0)/gauss(0),format=gray
@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:

@table @option

@item 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 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.

@end table

Alternatively, the options can be specified as a flat string:
@var{strength}[:@var{radius}]

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Apply the filter with a @code{3.5} strength and radius of @code{8}:
@example
gradfun=3.5:8
@end example

@item
Specify radius, omitting the strength (which will fall-back to the default
value):
@example
gradfun=radius=8
@end example

@end itemize

@end itemize

@anchor{haldclut}
@section 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:

@table @option
@item shortest
Force termination when the shortest input terminates. Default is @code{0}.
@item repeatlast
Continue applying the last CLUT after the end of the stream. A value of
@code{0} disable the filter after the last frame of the CLUT is reached.
Default is @code{1}.
@end table

@code{haldclut} also has the same interpolation options as @ref{lut3d} (both
filters share the same internals).

This filter also supports the @ref{framesync} options.

More information about the Hald CLUT can be found on Eskil Steenberg's website
(Hald CLUT author) at @url{http://www.quelsolaar.com/technology/clut.html}.

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the @code{interp} option as @ref{commands}.

@subsection Workflow examples

@subsubsection Hald CLUT video stream

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

Note: make sure you use a lossless codec.

Then use it with @code{haldclut} to apply it on some random stream:
@example
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i mandelbrot -i clut.nut -filter_complex '[0][1] haldclut' -t 20 mandelclut.mkv
@end example

The Hald CLUT will be applied to the 10 first seconds (duration of
@file{clut.nut}), then the latest picture of that CLUT stream will be applied
to the remaining frames of the @code{mandelbrot} stream.

@subsubsection Hald CLUT with preview

A Hald CLUT is supposed to be a squared image of @code{Level*Level*Level} by
@code{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
@code{haldclut} filter:

@example
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i @ref{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
@end example

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:
@example
ffplay input.mkv -vf "movie=clut.png, [in] haldclut"
@end example

@section hflip

Flip the input video horizontally.

For example, to horizontally flip the input video with @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "hflip" out.avi
@end example

@section 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:

@table @option
@item 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 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 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 @code{none}, @code{weak} or
@code{strong}. It defaults to @code{none}.
@end table

@anchor{histogram}
@section 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:

@table @option
@item level_height
Set height of level. Default value is @code{200}.
Allowed range is [50, 2048].

@item scale_height
Set height of color scale. Default value is @code{12}.
Allowed range is [0, 40].

@item display_mode
Set display mode.
It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item stack
Per color component graphs are placed below each other.

@item parade
Per color component graphs are placed side by side.

@item overlay
Presents information identical to that in the @code{parade}, except
that the graphs representing color components are superimposed directly
over one another.
@end table
Default is @code{stack}.

@item levels_mode
Set mode. Can be either @code{linear}, or @code{logarithmic}.
Default is @code{linear}.

@item components
Set what color components to display.
Default is @code{7}.

@item fgopacity
Set foreground opacity. Default is @code{0.7}.

@item bgopacity
Set background opacity. Default is @code{0.5}.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize

@item
Calculate and draw histogram:
@example
ffplay -i input -vf histogram
@end example

@end itemize

@anchor{hqdn3d}
@section 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.

It accepts the following optional parameters:

@table @option
@item luma_spatial
A non-negative floating point number which specifies spatial luma strength.
It defaults to 4.0.

@item chroma_spatial
A non-negative floating point number which specifies spatial chroma strength.
It defaults to 3.0*@var{luma_spatial}/4.0.

@item luma_tmp
A floating point number which specifies luma temporal strength. It defaults to
6.0*@var{luma_spatial}/4.0.

@item chroma_tmp
A floating point number which specifies chroma temporal strength. It defaults to
@var{luma_tmp}*@var{chroma_spatial}/@var{luma_spatial}.
@end table

@subsection Commands
This filter supports same @ref{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.

@anchor{hwdownload}
@section 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 @option{format} filter immediately following in the graph to get
the output in a supported format.

@section 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:
@itemize
@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 @option{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
@option{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
@option{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.
@end itemize

The following additional parameters are accepted:

@table @option
@item mode
Set the frame mapping mode.  Some combination of:
@table @var
@item read
The mapped frame should be readable.
@item write
The mapped frame should be writeable.
@item 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 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.
@end table
Defaults to @var{read+write} if not specified.

@item derive_device @var{type}
Rather than using the device supplied at initialisation, instead derive a new
device of type @var{type} from the device the input frames exist on.

@item 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.
@end table

@anchor{hwupload}
@section 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 @option{-filter_hw_device}
option or with the @option{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:

@table @option
@item derive_device @var{type}
Rather than using the device supplied at initialisation, instead derive a new
device of type @var{type} from the device the input frames exist on.
@end table

@anchor{hwupload_cuda}
@section hwupload_cuda

Upload system memory frames to a CUDA device.

It accepts the following optional parameters:

@table @option
@item device
The number of the CUDA device to use
@end table

@section hqx

Apply a high-quality magnification filter designed for pixel art. This filter
was originally created by Maxim Stepin.

It accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item n
Set the scaling dimension: @code{2} for @code{hq2x}, @code{3} for
@code{hq3x} and @code{4} for @code{hq4x}.
Default is @code{3}.
@end table

@section hstack
Stack input videos horizontally.

All streams must be of same pixel format and of same height.

Note that this filter is faster than using @ref{overlay} and @ref{pad} filter
to create same output.

The filter accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item inputs
Set number of input streams. Default is 2.

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

@section hue

Modify the hue and/or the saturation of the input.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option
@item h
Specify the hue angle as a number of degrees. It accepts an expression,
and defaults to "0".

@item s
Specify the saturation in the [-10,10] range. It accepts an expression and
defaults to "1".

@item H
Specify the hue angle as a number of radians. It accepts an
expression, and defaults to "0".

@item b
Specify the brightness in the [-10,10] range. It accepts an expression and
defaults to "0".
@end table

@option{h} and @option{H} are mutually exclusive, and can't be
specified at the same time.

The @option{b}, @option{h}, @option{H} and @option{s} option values are
expressions containing the following constants:

@table @option
@item n
frame count of the input frame starting from 0

@item pts
presentation timestamp of the input frame expressed in time base units

@item r
frame rate of the input video, NAN if the input frame rate is unknown

@item t
timestamp expressed in seconds, NAN if the input timestamp is unknown

@item tb
time base of the input video
@end table

@end table

The @code{hysteresis} filter also supports the @ref{framesync} options.

@section 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:

@table @option
@item 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''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

@item repeated.current_frame
Which field in the current frame is repeated from the last. One of ``neither'', ``top'', or ``bottom''.

@item repeated.neither
Cumulative number of frames with no repeated field.

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

@item repeated.bottom
Cumulative number of frames with the bottom field repeated from the previous frame's bottom field.
@end table

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item intl_thres
Set interlacing threshold.
@item prog_thres
Set progressive threshold.
@item rep_thres
Threshold for repeated field detection.
@item 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 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
@end table

@section 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:

@table @option
@item luma_mode, l
@item chroma_mode, c
@item alpha_mode, a
Available values for @var{luma_mode}, @var{chroma_mode} and
@var{alpha_mode} are:

@table @samp
@item none
Do nothing.

@item deinterleave, d
Deinterleave fields, placing one above the other.

@item interleave, i

@section 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 @ref{vignette} filter, which can also be used to compensate lens errors,
this filter corrects the distortion of the image, whereas @ref{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.

@subsection Options

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 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 k1
Coefficient of the quadratic correction term. This value has a range [-1,1]. 0 means
no correction. Default is 0.
@item k2
Coefficient of the double quadratic correction term. This value has a range [-1,1].
0 means no correction. Default is 0.
@item i
Set interpolation type. Can be @code{nearest} or @code{bilinear}.
Default is @code{nearest}.
@item fc
Specify the color of the unmapped pixels. For the syntax of this option,
check the @ref{color syntax,,"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual,ffmpeg-utils}. Default color is @code{black@@0}.
@end table

The formula that generates the correction is:

@var{r_src} = @var{r_tgt} * (1 + @var{k1} * (@var{r_tgt} / @var{r_0})^2 + @var{k2} * (@var{r_tgt} / @var{r_0})^4)

where @var{r_0} is halve of the image diagonal and @var{r_src} and @var{r_tgt} are the
distances from the focal point in the source and target images, respectively.

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@section lensfun

Apply lens correction via the lensfun library (@url{http://lensfun.sourceforge.net/}).

The @code{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.

The filter accepts the following options:

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

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

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

@table @samp
@item vignetting
Enables fixing lens vignetting.

@item geometry
Enables fixing lens geometry. This is the default.

@item subpixel
Enables fixing chromatic aberrations.

@item vig_geo
Enables fixing lens vignetting and lens geometry.

@item vig_subpixel
Enables fixing lens vignetting and chromatic aberrations.

@item distortion
Enables fixing both lens geometry and chromatic aberrations.

@item all
Enables all possible corrections.

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

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

@table @samp
@item rectilinear (default)
@item fisheye
@item panoramic
@item equirectangular
@item fisheye_orthographic
@item fisheye_stereographic
@item fisheye_equisolid
@item fisheye_thoby
@end table
@item reverse
Apply the reverse of image correction (instead of correcting distortion, apply
it).

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

@table @samp
@item nearest
@item linear (default)
@item lanczos
@end table

@section mpdecimate

Drop frames that do not differ greatly from the previous frame in
order to reduce frame rate.

The main use of this filter is for very-low-bitrate encoding
(e.g. streaming over dialup modem), but it could in theory be used for
fixing movies that were inverse-telecined incorrectly.

A description of the accepted options follows.

@table @option
@item max
Set the maximum number of consecutive frames which can be dropped (if
positive), or the minimum interval between dropped frames (if
negative). If the value is 0, the frame is dropped disregarding the
number of previous sequentially dropped frames.

Default value is 0.

@item hi
@item lo
@item frac
Set the dropping threshold values.

Values for @option{hi} and @option{lo} are for 8x8 pixel blocks and
represent actual pixel value differences, so a threshold of 64
corresponds to 1 unit of difference for each pixel, or the same spread
out differently over the block.

A frame is a candidate for dropping if no 8x8 blocks differ by more
than a threshold of @option{hi}, and if no more than @option{frac} blocks (1
meaning the whole image) differ by more than a threshold of @option{lo}.

Default value for @option{hi} is 64*12, default value for @option{lo} is

context similarity is defined by comparing their surrounding patches of size
@option{p}x@option{p}. Patches are searched in an area of @option{r}x@option{r}
around the pixel.

Note that the research area defines centers for patches, which means some
patches will be made of pixels outside that research area.

@end table

@item pscrn
Controls whether or not the prescreener neural network is used to decide
which pixels should be processed by the predictor neural network and which
can be handled by simple cubic interpolation.
The prescreener is trained to know whether cubic interpolation will be
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.
The prescreener is pretty accurate, so the difference between using it and not
using it is almost always unnoticeable.

Can be one of the following:

@table @samp
@item none
@item original
@item new
@item new2
@item new3
@end table

Default is @code{new}.

@section 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:

@table @option
@item blackpt
@item whitept
Colors which define the output range. The minimum input value is mapped to
the @var{blackpt}. The maximum input value is mapped to the @var{whitept}.
The defaults are black and white respectively. Specifying white for
@var{blackpt} and black for @var{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 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 @var{smoothing} previous frames. The default is 0 (no temporal
smoothing).

@item 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 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).

@end table

@subsection Commands
This filter supports same @ref{commands} as options, excluding @var{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.

@subsection Examples

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

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

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

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

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

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item filter_name
The name of the libopencv filter to apply.

@item filter_params

@end table

Refer to the official libopencv documentation for more precise
information:
@url{http://docs.opencv.org/master/modules/imgproc/doc/filtering.html}

Several libopencv filters are supported; see the following subsections.

@anchor{dilate}
@subsection dilate

Dilate an image by using a specific structuring element.
It corresponds to the libopencv function @code{cvDilate}.

It accepts the parameters: @var{struct_el}|@var{nb_iterations}.

@var{struct_el} represents a structuring element, and has the syntax:
@var{cols}x@var{rows}+@var{anchor_x}x@var{anchor_y}/@var{shape}

@var{cols} and @var{rows} represent the number of columns and rows of
the structuring element, @var{anchor_x} and @var{anchor_y} the anchor
point, and @var{shape} the shape for the structuring element. @var{shape}
must be "rect", "cross", "ellipse", or "custom".

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

The default value for @var{struct_el} is "3x3+0x0/rect".

@var{nb_iterations} specifies the number of times the transform is
applied to the image, and defaults to 1.

Some examples:
@example
# 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
@end example

@subsection erode

Erode an image by using a specific structuring element.
It corresponds to the libopencv function @code{cvErode}.

the following values: "blur", "blur_no_scale", "median", "gaussian",
or "bilateral". The default value is "gaussian".

The meaning of @var{param1}, @var{param2}, @var{param3}, and @var{param4}
depends on the smooth type. @var{param1} and
@var{param2} accept integer positive values or 0. @var{param3} and
@var{param4} accept floating point values.

The default value for @var{param1} is 3. The default value for the
other parameters is 0.

These parameters correspond to the parameters assigned to the
libopencv function @code{cvSmooth}.

@anchor{overlay}
@section overlay

Overlay one video on top of another.

It takes two inputs and has one output. The first input is the "main"
video on which the second input is overlaid.

It accepts the following parameters:

A description of the accepted options follows.

@table @option
@item x
@item 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 eof_action
See @ref{framesync}.

@item eval
Set when the expressions for @option{x}, and @option{y} are evaluated.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item init
only evaluate expressions once during the filter initialization or
when a command is processed

@item frame
evaluate expressions for each incoming frame
@end table

Default value is @samp{frame}.

@item shortest
See @ref{framesync}.

@item format
Set the format for the output video.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item yuv420
force YUV420 output

@item yuv420p10
force YUV420p10 output

@item yuv422
force YUV422 output

@item yuv422p10
force YUV422p10 output

@item yuv444
force YUV444 output

@item rgb
force packed RGB output

@item gbrp
force planar RGB output

@item auto
automatically pick format
@end table

Default value is @samp{yuv420}.

@item repeatlast
See @ref{framesync}.

@item alpha
Set format of alpha of the overlaid video, it can be @var{straight} or
@var{premultiplied}. Default is @var{straight}.
@end table

The @option{x}, and @option{y} expressions can contain the following
parameters.

@table @option
@item main_w, W
@item main_h, H
The main input width and height.

@item overlay_w, w
@item overlay_h, h
The overlay input width and height.

@item x
@item y
The computed values for @var{x} and @var{y}. They are evaluated for
each new frame.

@item hsub
@item vsub
horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values of the output
format. For example for the pixel format "yuv422p" @var{hsub} is 2 and
@var{vsub} is 1.

@item n
the number of input frame, starting from 0

@item pos
the position in the file of the input frame, NAN if unknown

@item t
The timestamp, expressed in seconds. It's NAN if the input timestamp is unknown.

@end table

This filter also supports the @ref{framesync} options.

Note that the @var{n}, @var{pos}, @var{t} variables are available only
when evaluation is done @emph{per frame}, and will evaluate to NAN
when @option{eval} is set to @samp{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 @var{setpts=PTS-STARTPTS} filter to
have them begin in the same zero timestamp, as the example for
the @var{movie} filter does.

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

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the following commands:
@table @option
@item x
@item y
Modify the x and y of the overlay input.
The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

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

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Draw the overlay at 10 pixels from the bottom right corner of the main
video:
@example
overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10

@end table

@anchor{pad}
@section pad

Add paddings to the input image, and place the original input at the
provided @var{x}, @var{y} coordinates.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option
@item width, w
@item height, h
Specify an expression for the size of the output image with the
paddings added. If the value for @var{width} or @var{height} is 0, the
corresponding input size is used for the output.

The @var{width} expression can reference the value set by the
@var{height} expression, and vice versa.

The default value of @var{width} and @var{height} is 0.

@item x
@item 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 @var{x} expression can reference the value set by the @var{y}
expression, and vice versa.

The default value of @var{x} and @var{y} is 0.

If @var{x} or @var{y} evaluate to a negative number, they'll be changed
so the input image is centered on the padded area.

@item color
Specify the color of the padded area. For the syntax of this option,
check the @ref{color syntax,,"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

The default value of @var{color} is "black".

@item eval
Specify when to evaluate  @var{width}, @var{height}, @var{x} and @var{y} expression.

It accepts the following values:

@table @samp
@item init
Only evaluate expressions once during the filter initialization or when
a command is processed.

@item frame
Evaluate expressions for each incoming frame.

@end table

Default value is @samp{init}.

@item aspect
Pad to aspect instead to a resolution.

@end table

The value for the @var{width}, @var{height}, @var{x}, and @var{y}
options are expressions containing the following constants:

@table @option
@item in_w
@item in_h
The input video width and height.

@item iw
@item ih
These are the same as @var{in_w} and @var{in_h}.

@item out_w
@item out_h
The output width and height (the size of the padded area), as
specified by the @var{width} and @var{height} expressions.

@item ow
@item oh
These are the same as @var{out_w} and @var{out_h}.

@item x
@item y
The x and y offsets as specified by the @var{x} and @var{y}
expressions, or NAN if not yet specified.

@item a
same as @var{iw} / @var{ih}

@item sar
input sample aspect ratio

@item dar
input display aspect ratio, it is the same as (@var{iw} / @var{ih}) * @var{sar}

@item hsub
@item vsub
The horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values. For example for the
pixel format "yuv422p" @var{hsub} is 2 and @var{vsub} is 1.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@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
@example
pad=640:480:0:40:violet
@end example

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

@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:
@example
pad="3/2*iw:3/2*ih:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2"
@end example

@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:
@example
pad="max(iw\,ih):ow:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2"
@end example

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

@item
In case of anamorphic video, in order to set the output display aspect
correctly, it is necessary to use @var{sar} in the expression,
according to the relation:
@example
(ih * X / ih) * sar = output_dar
X = output_dar / sar
@end example

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

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

@anchor{palettegen}
@section palettegen

Generate one palette for a whole video stream.

It accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item max_colors
Set the maximum number of colors to quantize in the palette.
Note: the palette will still contain 256 colors; the unused palette entries
will be black.

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

@item stats_mode
Set statistics mode.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item full
Compute full frame histograms.
@item diff
Compute histograms only for the part that differs from previous frame. This
might be relevant to give more importance to the moving part of your input if
the background is static.
@item single
Compute new histogram for each frame.
@end table

Default value is @var{full}.
@end table

The filter also exports the frame metadata @code{lavfi.color_quant_ratio}
(@code{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
@var{info} logging level.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Generate a representative palette of a given video using @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vf palettegen palette.png
@end example
@end itemize

@section paletteuse

Use a palette to downsample an input video stream.

The filter takes two inputs: one video stream and a palette. The palette must
be a 256 pixels image.

It accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item dither
Select dithering mode. Available algorithms are:
@table @samp
@item bayer
Ordered 8x8 bayer dithering (deterministic)
@item heckbert
Dithering as defined by Paul Heckbert in 1982 (simple error diffusion).
Note: this dithering is sometimes considered "wrong" and is included as a
reference.
@item floyd_steinberg
Floyd and Steingberg dithering (error diffusion)
@item sierra2
Frankie Sierra dithering v2 (error diffusion)
@item sierra2_4a
Frankie Sierra dithering v2 "Lite" (error diffusion)
@end table

Default is @var{sierra2_4a}.

@item bayer_scale
When @var{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 @var{2}.

@item diff_mode
If set, define the zone to process

@table @samp
@item 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 @option{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).
@end table

Default is @var{none}.

@item new
Take new palette for each output frame.

@item 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 @var{128}.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Use a palette (generated for example with @ref{palettegen}) to encode a GIF
using @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -i palette.png -lavfi paletteuse output.gif
@end example
@end itemize

@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:

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

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

The description of the accepted parameters follows.

@table @option
@item 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 stats_version
Specifies which version of the stats file format to use. Details of
each format are written below.
Default value is 1.

@item stats_add_max
Determines whether the max value is output to the stats log.
Default value is 0.
Requires stats_version >= 2. If this is set and stats_version < 2,
the filter will return an error.
@end table

This filter also supports the @ref{framesync} options.

The file printed if @var{stats_file} is selected, contains a sequence of
key/value pairs of the form @var{key}:@var{value} for each compared
couple of frames.

If a @var{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:

@table @option
@item psnr_log_version
The version of the log file format. Will match @var{stats_version}.

@item fields
A comma separated list of the per-frame-pair parameters included in
the log.
@end table

A description of each shown per-frame-pair parameter follows:

@table @option
@item n
sequential number of the input frame, starting from 1

@item mse_avg

frames, averaged over all the image components.

@item mse_y, mse_u, mse_v, mse_r, mse_g, mse_b, mse_a

Peak Signal to Noise ratio of the compared frames for the component
specified by the suffix.

@item max_avg, max_y, max_u, max_v

channels.
@end table

@subsection Examples
@itemize
@item
For example:
@example
movie=ref_movie.mpg, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [main];
[main][ref] psnr="stats_file=stats.log" [out]
@end example

On this example the input file being processed is compared with the
reference file @file{ref_movie.mpg}. The PSNR of each individual frame
is stored in @file{stats.log}.

@item
Another example with different containers:
@example
ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mkv -lavfi  "[0:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[main];[1:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[ref];[main][ref]psnr" -f null -
@end example
@end itemize

@anchor{pullup}
@section 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 @code{fps=24000/1001} if the input frame rate is 29.97fps,
@code{fps=24} for 30fps and the (rare) telecined 25fps input.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item jl
@item jr
@item jt
@item 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 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 @code{0}.

@item mp
Set the metric plane to use. It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item l
Use luma plane.

@item u
Use chroma blue plane.

@item v
Use chroma red plane.
@end table

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 @option{mp} to a chroma plane is to reduce CPU
load and make pullup usable in realtime on slow machines.
@end table

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:
@example
ffmpeg -i input -vf pullup -r 24000/1001 ...
@end example

@section qp

Change video quantization parameters (QP).

The filter accepts the following option:

the following constants:

@table @var
@item known
1 if index is not 129, 0 otherwise.

@item qp
Sequential index starting from -129 to 128.

@code{512}. Default is @code{30}.

@item seed
Set seed for random number generator, must be an integer included between
@code{0} and @code{UINT32_MAX}. If not specified, or if explicitly set to
less than @code{0}, the filter will try to use a good random seed on a
best effort basis.
@end table

@section readeia608

@end table

@section removelogo

Suppress a TV station logo, using an image file to determine which
pixels comprise the logo. It works by filling in the pixels that
comprise the logo with neighboring pixels.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item filename, f
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.
@end table

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.

@section repeatfields

This filter uses the repeat_field flag from the Video ES headers and hard repeats
fields based on its value.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item luma_radius, lr
Set luma blur filter strength, must be a value in range 0.1-4.0, default

@anchor{scale}
@section 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.

@subsection Options
The filter accepts the following options, or any of the options
supported by the libswscale scaler.

See @ref{scaler_options,,the ffmpeg-scaler manual,ffmpeg-scaler} for
the complete list of scaler options.

@table @option
@item width, w
@item height, h
Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input
dimension.

If the @var{width} or @var{w} value is 0, the input width is used for
the output. If the @var{height} or @var{h} value is 0, the input height
is used for the output.

If one and only one of the values is -n with n >= 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 >= 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 eval
Specify when to evaluate @var{width} and @var{height} expression. It accepts the following values:

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:

@table @samp
@item auto
Choose automatically.

@item bt709
Format conforming to International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Recommendation BT.709.

@item fcc
Set color space conforming to the United States Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 47 (2003) 73.682 (a).

@item bt601
@item bt470
@item smpte170m
Set color space conforming to:

@itemize
@item
ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) Recommendation BT.601

@item
ITU-R Rec. BT.470-6 (1998) Systems B, B1, and G

@item
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) ST 170:2004

@end itemize

@item smpte240m
Set color space conforming to SMPTE ST 240:1999.

@item bt2020
Set color space conforming to ITU-R BT.2020 non-constant luminance system.
@end table

@item in_range
@item 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:

@table @samp
@item auto/unknown
Choose automatically.

@item jpeg/full/pc
Set full range (0-255 in case of 8-bit luma).

@item mpeg/limited/tv
Set "MPEG" range (16-235 in case of 8-bit luma).
@end table

@item force_original_aspect_ratio
Enable decreasing or increasing output video width or height if necessary to
keep the original aspect ratio. Possible values:

@table @samp
@item disable
Scale the video as specified and disable this feature.

@item decrease
The output video dimensions will automatically be decreased if needed.

@item increase
The output video dimensions will automatically be increased if needed.

@end table

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 @option{w}
or @option{h}, you still need to specify the output resolution for this option
to work.

@item force_divisible_by
Ensures that both the output dimensions, width and height, are divisible by the
given integer when used together with @option{force_original_aspect_ratio}. This
works similar to using @code{-n} in the @option{w} and @option{h} options.

This option respects the value set for @option{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 @option{force_original_aspect_ratio} but also have
encoder restrictions on width or height divisibility.

@end table

@anchor{scdet}
@section scdet

Detect video scene change.

This filter sets frame metadata with mafd between frame, the scene score, and
forward the frame to the next filter, so they can use these metadata to detect
scene change or others.

In addition, this filter logs a message and sets frame metadata when it detects
a scene change by @option{threshold}.

@code{lavfi.scd.mafd} metadata keys are set with mafd for every frame.

@code{lavfi.scd.score} metadata keys are set with scene change score for every frame
to detect scene change.

@code{lavfi.scd.time} metadata keys are set with current filtered frame time which
detect scene change with @option{threshold}.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item threshold, t

@end table

@anchor{selectivecolor}
@section selectivecolor

Adjust cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) to certain ranges of colors (such
as "reds", "yellows", "greens", "cyans", ...). The adjustment range is defined
by the "purity" of the color (that is, how saturated it already is).

This filter is similar to the Adobe Photoshop Selective Color tool.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item correction_method
Select color correction method.

Available values are:
@table @samp
@item absolute
Specified adjustments are applied "as-is" (added/subtracted to original pixel

@example
selectivecolor=psfile=MySelectiveColorPresets/Misty.asv
@end example
@end itemize

@anchor{separatefields}
@section separatefields

The @code{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 @ref{setfield} filter before @code{separatefields} filter.

@section setdar, setsar

The @code{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:
@example
@var{DAR} = @var{HORIZONTAL_RESOLUTION} / @var{VERTICAL_RESOLUTION} * @var{SAR}
@end example

Keep in mind that the @code{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 @code{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 @code{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:

@table @option
@item r, ratio, dar (@code{setdar} only), sar (@code{setsar} only)
Set the aspect ratio used by the filter.

The parameter can be a floating point number string, an expression, or
a string of the form @var{num}:@var{den}, where @var{num} and
@var{den} are the numerator and denominator of the aspect ratio. If
the parameter is not specified, it is assumed the value "0".
In case the form "@var{num}:@var{den}" is used, the @code{:} character
should be escaped.

@item 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 @code{100}.

@end table

The parameter @var{sar} is an expression containing
the following constants:

@table @option
@item E, PI, PHI
These are approximated values for the mathematical constants e
(Euler's number), pi (Greek pi), and phi (the golden ratio).

@item w, h
The input width and height.

@item a
These are the same as @var{w} / @var{h}.

@item sar
The input sample aspect ratio.

@item dar
The input display aspect ratio. It is the same as
(@var{w} / @var{h}) * @var{sar}.

@item hsub, vsub
Horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values. For example, for the
pixel format "yuv422p" @var{hsub} is 2 and @var{vsub} is 1.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@anchor{spp}
@section spp

Apply a simple postprocessing filter that compresses and decompresses the image
at several (or - in the case of @option{quality} level @code{6} - all) shifts
and average the results.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item quality
Set quality. This option defines the number of levels for averaging. It accepts
an integer in the range 0-6. If set to @code{0}, the filter will have no
effect. A value of @code{6} means the higher quality. For each increment of
that value the speed drops by a factor of approximately 2.  Default value is
@code{3}.

@item qp
Force a constant quantization parameter. If not set, the filter will use the QP
from the video stream (if available).

@item mode
Set thresholding mode. Available modes are:

@table @samp
@item hard
Set hard thresholding (default).
@item soft
Set soft thresholding (better de-ringing effect, but likely blurrier).
@end table

@item use_bframe_qp
Enable the use of the QP from the B-Frames if set to @code{1}. Using this
option may cause flicker since the B-Frames have often larger QP. Default is
@code{0} (not enabled).
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the following commands:
@table @option
@item quality, level
Set quality level. The value @code{max} can be used to set the maximum level,
currently @code{6}.
@end table

@anchor{sr}
@section sr

Scale the input by applying one of the super-resolution methods based on
convolutional neural networks. Supported models:

@itemize
@item
Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network model (SRCNN).
See @url{https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.00092}.

@item
Efficient Sub-Pixel Convolutional Neural Network model (ESPCN).
See @url{https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.05158}.
@end itemize

Training scripts as well as scripts for model file (.pb) saving can be found at
@url{https://github.com/XueweiMeng/sr/tree/sr_dnn_native}. Original repository
is at @url{https://github.com/HighVoltageRocknRoll/sr.git}.

Native model files (.model) can be generated from TensorFlow model
files (.pb) by using tools/python/convert.py

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item dnn_backend
Specify which DNN backend to use for model loading and execution. This option accepts
the following values:

@table @samp
@item native
Native implementation of DNN loading and execution.

@item tensorflow
TensorFlow backend. To enable this backend you
need to install the TensorFlow for C library (see
@url{https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_c}) and configure FFmpeg with
@code{--enable-libtensorflow}
@end table

Default value is @samp{native}.

@item model
Set path to model file specifying network architecture and its parameters.
Note that different backends use different file formats. TensorFlow backend
can load files for both formats, while native backend can load files for only
its format.

@item scale_factor
Set scale factor for SRCNN model. Allowed values are @code{2}, @code{3} and @code{4}.
Default value is @code{2}. Scale factor is necessary for SRCNN model, because it accepts
input upscaled using bicubic upscaling with proper scale factor.
@end table

This feature can also be finished with @ref{dnn_processing} filter.

@section 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.

@table @option
@item 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.
@end table

The file printed if @var{stats_file} is selected, contains a sequence of
key/value pairs of the form @var{key}:@var{value} for each compared
couple of frames.

A description of each shown parameter follows:

@table @option
@item n
sequential number of the input frame, starting from 1

@item Y, U, V, R, G, B
SSIM of the compared frames for the component specified by the suffix.

@item All
SSIM of the compared frames for the whole frame.

@item dB
Same as above but in dB representation.
@end table

This filter also supports the @ref{framesync} options.

@subsection Examples
@itemize
@item
For example:
@example
movie=ref_movie.mpg, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [main];
[main][ref] ssim="stats_file=stats.log" [out]
@end example

On this example the input file being processed is compared with the
reference file @file{ref_movie.mpg}. The SSIM of each individual frame
is stored in @file{stats.log}.

@item
Another example with both psnr and ssim at same time:
@example
ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi  "ssim;[0:v][1:v]psnr" -f null -
@end example

@item
Another example with different containers:
@example
ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mkv -lavfi  "[0:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[main];[1:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[ref];[main][ref]ssim" -f null -

@anchor{subtitles}
@section subtitles

Draw subtitles on top of input video using the libass library.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with
@code{--enable-libass}. This filter also requires a build with libavcodec and
libavformat to convert the passed subtitles file to ASS (Advanced Substation
Alpha) subtitles format.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item filename, f
Set the filename of the subtitle file to read. It must be specified.

@item 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
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
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 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.

@item alpha
Process alpha channel, by default alpha channel is untouched.

@item charenc
Set subtitles input character encoding. @code{subtitles} filter only. Only
useful if not UTF-8.

@item stream_index, si
Set subtitles stream index. @code{subtitles} filter only.

@item force_style
Override default style or script info parameters of the subtitles. It accepts a
string containing ASS style format @code{KEY=VALUE} couples separated by ",".
@end table

If the first key is not specified, it is assumed that the first value
specifies the @option{filename}.

For example, to render the file @file{sub.srt} on top of the input
video, use the command:
@example
subtitles=sub.srt
@end example

which is equivalent to:
@example
subtitles=filename=sub.srt
@end example

To render the default subtitles stream from file @file{video.mkv}, use:
@example
subtitles=video.mkv
@end example

To render the second subtitles stream from that file, use:
@example
subtitles=video.mkv:si=1
@end example

To make the subtitles stream from @file{sub.srt} appear in 80% transparent blue
@code{DejaVu Serif}, use:
@example
subtitles=sub.srt:force_style='Fontname=DejaVu Serif,PrimaryColour=&HCCFF0000'
@end example

@section threshold

Apply threshold effect to video stream.

This filter needs four video streams to perform thresholding.
First stream is stream we are filtering.
Second stream is holding threshold values, third stream is holding min values,
and last, fourth stream is holding max values.

The filter accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item planes
Set which planes will be processed, unprocessed planes will be copied.
By default value 0xf, all planes will be processed.
@end table

For example if first stream pixel's component value is less then threshold value
of pixel component from 2nd threshold stream, third stream value will picked,
otherwise fourth stream pixel component value will be picked.

Using color source filter one can perform various types of thresholding:

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Binary threshold, using gray color as threshold:
@example
ffmpeg -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=gray -f lavfi -i color=black -f lavfi -i color=white -lavfi threshold output.avi
@end example

@item
Inverted binary threshold, using gray color as threshold:
@example
ffmpeg -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=gray -f lavfi -i color=white -f lavfi -i color=black -lavfi threshold output.avi
@end example

@item
Truncate binary threshold, using gray color as threshold:
@example
ffmpeg -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=gray -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=gray -lavfi threshold output.avi
@end example

@item
Threshold to zero, using gray color as threshold:
@example
ffmpeg -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=gray -f lavfi -i color=white -i 320x240.avi -lavfi threshold output.avi
@end example

@item
Inverted threshold to zero, using gray color as threshold:
@example
ffmpeg -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=gray -i 320x240.avi -f lavfi -i color=white -lavfi threshold output.avi
@end example
@end itemize

@section thumbnail
Select the most representative frame in a given sequence of consecutive frames.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item n
Set the frames batch size to analyze; in a set of @var{n} frames, the filter
will pick one of them, and then handle the next batch of @var{n} frames until
the end. Default is @code{100}.
@end table

Since the filter keeps track of the whole frames sequence, a bigger @var{n}
value will result in a higher memory usage, so a high value is not recommended.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Extract one picture each 50 frames:
@example
thumbnail=50
@end example

@item
Complete example of a thumbnail creation with @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf thumbnail,scale=300:200 -frames:v 1 out.png
@end example
@end itemize

@anchor{tile}
@section tile

Tile several successive frames together.

The @ref{untile} filter can do the reverse.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option

@item layout
Set the grid size (i.e. the number of lines and columns). For the syntax of
this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

@item nb_frames
Set the maximum number of frames to render in the given area. It must be less
than or equal to @var{w}x@var{h}. The default value is @code{0}, meaning all
the area will be used.

@item margin
Set the outer border margin in pixels.

@item padding
Set the inner border thickness (i.e. the number of pixels between frames). For
more advanced padding options (such as having different values for the edges),
refer to the pad video filter.

@item color
Specify the color of the unused area. For the syntax of this option, check the
@ref{color syntax,,"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
The default value of @var{color} is "black".

@item overlap
Set the number of frames to overlap when tiling several successive frames together.
The value must be between @code{0} and @var{nb_frames - 1}.

@item init_padding
Set the number of frames to initially be empty before displaying first output frame.
This controls how soon will one get first output frame.
The value must be between @code{0} and @var{nb_frames - 1}.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Produce 8x8 PNG tiles of all keyframes (@option{-skip_frame nokey}) in a movie:
@example
ffmpeg -skip_frame nokey -i file.avi -vf 'scale=128:72,tile=8x8' -an -vsync 0 keyframes%03d.png
@end example
The @option{-vsync 0} is necessary to prevent @command{ffmpeg} from
duplicating each output frame to accommodate the originally detected frame
rate.

@item
Display @code{5} pictures in an area of @code{3x2} frames,
with @code{7} pixels between them, and @code{2} pixels of initial margin, using
mixed flat and named options:
@example
tile=3x2:nb_frames=5:padding=7:margin=2
@end example
@end itemize

@section tinterlace

Perform various types of temporal field interlacing.

Frames are counted starting from 1, so the first input frame is
considered odd.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option

@item mode
Specify the mode of the interlacing. This option can also be specified
as a value alone. See below for a list of values for this option.

Available values are:

@table @samp
@item merge, 0
Move odd frames into the upper field, even into the lower field,
generating a double height frame at half frame rate.

@end example

@end table

Numeric values are deprecated but are accepted for backward
compatibility reasons.

Default mode is @code{merge}.

@item flags
Specify flags influencing the filter process.

Available value for @var{flags} is:

@table @option
@item 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 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 bypass_il
Bypass already interlaced frames, only adjust the frame rate.
@end table

Vertical low-pass filtering and bypassing already interlaced frames can only be
enabled for @option{mode} @var{interleave_top} and @var{interleave_bottom}.

@end table

@section tmedian
Pick median pixels from several successive input video frames.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item radius
Set radius of median filter.
Default is 1. Allowed range is from 1 to 127.

@item planes
Set which planes to filter. Default value is @code{15}, by which all planes are processed.

@item percentile
Set median percentile. Default value is @code{0.5}.
Default value of @code{0.5} will pick always median values, while @code{0} will pick
minimum values, and @code{1} maximum values.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports all above options as @ref{commands}, excluding option @code{radius}.

@section 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:

@table @option
@item radius
Set filtering radius. Default is @code{5}. Allowed range is from 1 to 127.

@item sigma
Set filtering sigma. Default is @code{0.5}. This controls strength of filtering.
Setting this option to 0 effectively does nothing.

@item planes
Set which planes to process. Default is @code{15}, which is all available planes.
@end table

@section tmix

Mix successive video frames.

A description of the accepted options follows.

@table @option
@item frames
The number of successive frames to mix. If unspecified, it defaults to 3.

@item weights
Specify weight of each input video frame.
Each weight is separated by space. If number of weights is smaller than
number of @var{frames} last specified weight will be used for all remaining
unset weights.

@item 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 @var{scale} is auto scaled to sum of weights.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Average 7 successive frames:
@example
tmix=frames=7:weights="1 1 1 1 1 1 1"
@end example

@item
Apply simple temporal convolution:
@example
tmix=frames=3:weights="-1 3 -1"
@end example

@item
Similar as above but only showing temporal differences:
@example
tmix=frames=3:weights="-1 2 -1":scale=1
@end example
@end itemize

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the following commands:
@table @option
@item weights
@item scale
Syntax is same as option with same name.
@end table

@anchor{tonemap}
@section 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
@ref{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).

@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf zscale=transfer=linear,tonemap=clip,zscale=transfer=bt709,format=yuv420p OUTPUT
@end example

@subsection Options
The filter accepts the following options.

@table @option
@item tonemap
Set the tone map algorithm to use.

Possible values are:
@table @var
@item none
Do not apply any tone map, only desaturate overbright pixels.

@item 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 linear
Stretch the entire reference gamut to a linear multiple of the display.

@item gamma
Fit a logarithmic transfer between the tone curves.

@item reinhard
Preserve overall image brightness with a simple curve, using nonlinear
contrast, which results in flattening details and degrading color accuracy.

@item hable
Preserve both dark and bright details better than @var{reinhard}, at the cost
of slightly darkening everything. Use it when detail preservation is more
important than color and brightness accuracy.

@item 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.
@end table

Default is none.

@item param
Tune the tone mapping algorithm.

This affects the following algorithms:
@table @var
@item none
Ignored.

@item linear
Specifies the scale factor to use while stretching.
Default to 1.0.

@item gamma
Specifies the exponent of the function.
Default to 1.8.

@item clip
Specify an extra linear coefficient to multiply into the signal before clipping.
Default to 1.0.

@item 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 hable
Ignored.

@item 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.
@end table

@item 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 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.
@end table

@section tpad

Temporarily pad video frames.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item start
Specify number of delay frames before input video stream. Default is 0.

@item stop
Specify number of padding frames after input video stream.
Set to -1 to pad indefinitely. Default is 0.

@item start_mode
Set kind of frames added to beginning of stream.
Can be either @var{add} or @var{clone}.
With @var{add} frames of solid-color are added.
With @var{clone} frames are clones of first frame.
Default is @var{add}.

@item stop_mode
Set kind of frames added to end of stream.
Can be either @var{add} or @var{clone}.
With @var{add} frames of solid-color are added.
With @var{clone} frames are clones of last frame.
Default is @var{add}.

@item start_duration, stop_duration
Specify the duration of the start/stop delay. See
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
for the accepted syntax.
These options override @var{start} and @var{stop}. Default is 0.

@item color
Specify the color of the padded area. For the syntax of this option,
check the @ref{color syntax,,"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils
manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

The default value of @var{color} is "black".
@end table

@anchor{transpose}
@section transpose

Transpose rows with columns in the input video and optionally flip it.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item dir

Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and vertically flip, that is:
@example
L.R     r.R
. . ->  . .
l.r     l.L
@end example
@end table

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 @code{passthrough} option should be used instead.

Numerical values are deprecated, and should be dropped in favor of
symbolic constants.

@item passthrough
Do not apply the transposition if the input geometry matches the one
specified by the specified value. It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item none
Always apply transposition.
@item portrait
Preserve portrait geometry (when @var{height} >= @var{width}).
@item landscape
Preserve landscape geometry (when @var{width} >= @var{height}).
@end table

Default value is @code{none}.
@end table

For example to rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and preserve portrait
layout:
@example
transpose=dir=1:passthrough=portrait
@end example

The command above can also be specified as:
@example
transpose=1:portrait
@end example

@section transpose_npp

Transpose rows with columns in the input video and optionally flip it.
For more in depth examples see the @ref{transpose} video filter, which shares mostly the same options.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item dir
Specify the transposition direction.

Can assume the following values:
@table @samp
@item cclock_flip
Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise and vertically flip. (default)

@item clock
Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise.

@item cclock
Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise.

@item clock_flip

@item none
Always apply transposition. (default)
@item portrait
Preserve portrait geometry (when @var{height} >= @var{width}).
@item landscape
Preserve landscape geometry (when @var{width} >= @var{height}).
@end table

@end table

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

It accepts the following parameters:
@table @option
@item start
Specify the time of the start of the kept section, i.e. the frame with the
timestamp @var{start} will be the first frame in the output.

@item end
Specify the time of the first frame that will be dropped, i.e. the frame
immediately preceding the one with the timestamp @var{end} will be the last
frame in the output.

@item start_pts
This is the same as @var{start}, except this option sets the start timestamp
in timebase units instead of seconds.

@item end_pts
This is the same as @var{end}, except this option sets the end timestamp
in timebase units instead of seconds.

@item duration
The maximum duration of the output in seconds.

@item start_frame
The number of the first frame that should be passed to the output.

@item end_frame
The number of the first frame that should be dropped.
@end table

@option{start}, @option{end}, and @option{duration} are expressed as time
duration specifications; see
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
for the accepted syntax.

Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the @option{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:
@itemize
@item
Drop everything except the second minute of input:
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf trim=60:120
@end example

@item
Keep only the first second:
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf trim=duration=1
@end example

@end itemize

@section unpremultiply

The filter accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item planes
Set which planes will be processed, unprocessed planes will be copied.
By default value 0xf, all planes will be processed.

If the format has 1 or 2 components, then luma is bit 0.
If the format has 3 or 4 components:
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 inplace
Do not require 2nd input for processing, instead use alpha plane from input stream.
@end table

and 23. The default value is 5.

@item luma_amount, la
Set the luma 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 1.0.

@item chroma_msize_x, cx
Set the chroma matrix horizontal size. It must be an odd integer
between 3 and 23. The default value is 5.

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.

@end table

All parameters are optional and default to the equivalent of the
string '5:5:1.0:5:5:0.0'.

@end itemize

@anchor{untile}
@section untile

Decompose a video made of tiled images into the individual images.

The frame rate of the output video is the frame rate of the input video
multiplied by the number of tiles.

This filter does the reverse of @ref{tile}.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option

@item layout
Set the grid size (i.e. the number of lines and columns). For the syntax of
this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Produce a 1-second video from a still image file made of 25 frames stacked
vertically, like an analogic film reel:
@example
ffmpeg -r 1 -i image.jpg -vf untile=1x25 movie.mkv
@end example
@end itemize

@section uspp

Apply ultra slow/simple postprocessing filter that compresses and decompresses
the image at several (or - in the case of @option{quality} level @code{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.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item quality
Set quality. This option defines the number of levels for averaging. It accepts
an integer in the range 0-8. If set to @code{0}, the filter will have no
effect. A value of @code{8} means the higher quality. For each increment of
that value the speed drops by a factor of approximately 2.  Default value is
@code{3}.

@item qp
Force a constant quantization parameter. If not set, the filter will use the QP
from the video stream (if available).

@subsection Commands

This filter supports subset of above options as @ref{commands}.

@section vaguedenoiser

Apply a wavelet based denoiser.

It transforms each frame from the video input into the wavelet domain,
using Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau 9/7. Then it applies some filtering to
the obtained coefficients. It does an inverse wavelet transform after.
Due to wavelet properties, it should give a nice smoothed result, and
reduced noise, without blurring picture features.

This filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item threshold
The filtering strength. The higher, the more filtered the video will be.
Hard thresholding can use a higher threshold than soft thresholding
before the video looks overfiltered. Default value is 2.

@item method
The filtering method the filter will use.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item hard
All values under the threshold will be zeroed.

@item soft
All values under the threshold will be zeroed. All values above will be
reduced by the threshold.

@item garrote
Scales or nullifies coefficients - intermediary between (more) soft and
(less) hard thresholding.
@end table

Default is garrote.

@item nsteps
Number of times, the wavelet will decompose the picture. Picture can't
be decomposed beyond a particular point (typically, 8 for a 640x480
frame - as 2^9 = 512 > 480). Valid values are integers between 1 and 32. Default value is 6.

@item percent
Partial of full denoising (limited coefficients shrinking), from 0 to 100. Default value is 85.

@item planes
A list of the planes to process. By default all planes are processed.

@item type
The threshold type the filter will use.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item universal
Threshold used is same for all decompositions.

@item bayes
Threshold used depends also on each decomposition coefficients.
@end table

Default is universal.
@end table

@section vectorscope

Display 2 color component values in the two dimensional graph (which is called
a vectorscope).

This filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item mode, m
Set vectorscope mode.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item gray
@item 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 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 @code{x} and @code{y}. The 3rd color component is static.

@item color2
Actual color components values present in video frame are displayed on graph.

@item color3
Similar as color2 but higher frequency of same values @code{x} and @code{y}
on graph increases value of another color component, which is luminance by
default values of @code{x} and @code{y}.

@item 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
not present in graph is picked.

@item color5
Gray values are displayed on graph. Similar to @code{color} but with 3rd color
component picked from radial gradient.
@end table

@item x
Set which color component will be represented on X-axis. Default is @code{1}.

@item y
Set which color component will be represented on Y-axis. Default is @code{2}.

@item intensity, i
Set intensity, used by modes: gray, color, color3 and color5 for increasing brightness
of color component which represents frequency of (X, Y) location in graph.

@item envelope, e
@table @samp
@item none
No envelope, this is default.

@item instant
Instant envelope, even darkest single pixel will be clearly highlighted.

@item peak
Hold maximum and minimum values presented in graph over time. This way you
can still spot out of range values without constantly looking at vectorscope.

@item peak+instant
Peak and instant envelope combined together.
@end table

@item graticule, g
Set what kind of graticule to draw.
@table @samp
@item none
@item green
@item color
@item invert
@end table

@item opacity, o
Set graticule opacity.

@item flags, f
Set graticule flags.

@table @samp
@item white
Draw graticule for white point.

@item black
Draw graticule for black point.

@item name
Draw color points short names.
@end table

@item bgopacity, b
Set background opacity.

@item lthreshold, l
Set low threshold for color component not represented on X or Y axis.
Values lower than this value will be ignored. Default is 0.
Note this value is multiplied with actual max possible value one pixel component
can have. So for 8-bit input and low threshold value of 0.1 actual threshold
is 0.1 * 255 = 25.

@item 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
is 0.9 * 255 = 230.

@item colorspace, c
Set what kind of colorspace to use when drawing graticule.
@table @samp
@item auto
@item 601
@item 709
@end table
Default is auto.

@item tint0, t0
@item tint1, t1
Set color tint for gray/tint vectorscope mode. By default both options are zero.
This means no tint, and output will remain gray.
@end table

@anchor{vidstabdetect}
@section vidstabdetect

Analyze video stabilization/deshaking. Perform pass 1 of 2, see
@ref{vidstabtransform} for pass 2.

This filter generates a file with relative translation and rotation
transform information about subsequent frames, which is then used by
the @ref{vidstabtransform} filter.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with
@code{--enable-libvidstab}.

This filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item result
Set the path to the file used to write the transforms information.
Default value is @file{transforms.trf}.

@item shakiness
Set how shaky the video is and how quick the camera is. It accepts an
integer in the range 1-10, a value of 1 means little shakiness, a
value of 10 means strong shakiness. Default value is 5.

@item accuracy
Set the accuracy of the detection process. It must be a value in the
range 1-15. A value of 1 means low accuracy, a value of 15 means high
accuracy. Default value is 15.

@item stepsize
Set stepsize of the search process. The region around minimum is
scanned with 1 pixel resolution. Default value is 6.

@item mincontrast
Set minimum contrast. Below this value a local measurement field is
discarded. Must be a floating point value in the range 0-1. Default
value is 0.3.

@item tripod
Set reference frame number for tripod mode.

If enabled, the motion of the frames is compared to a reference frame
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 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.
@end table

Use default values:
@example
vidstabdetect
@end example

@item
Analyze strongly shaky movie and put the results in file
@file{mytransforms.trf}:
@example
vidstabdetect=shakiness=10:accuracy=15:result="mytransforms.trf"
@end example

@item
Visualize the result of internal transformations in the resulting
video:
@example
vidstabdetect=show=1
@end example

@item
Analyze a video with medium shakiness using @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i input -vf vidstabdetect=shakiness=5:show=1 dummy.avi
@end example
@end itemize

@anchor{vidstabtransform}
@section vidstabtransform

Video stabilization/deshaking: pass 2 of 2,
see @ref{vidstabdetect} for pass 1.

Read a file with transform information for each frame and
apply/compensate them. Together with the @ref{vidstabdetect}
filter this can be used to deshake videos. See also
@url{http://public.hronopik.de/vid.stab}. It is important to also use
the @ref{unsharp} filter, see below.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with
@code{--enable-libvidstab}.

@subsection Options

@table @option
@item input
Set path to the file used to read the transforms. Default value is
@file{transforms.trf}.

@item smoothing
Set the number of frames (value*2 + 1) used for lowpass filtering the
camera movements. Default value is 10.

For example a number of 10 means that 21 frames are used (10 in the
past and 10 in the future) to smoothen the motion in the video. A
larger value leads to a smoother video, but limits the acceleration of
the camera (pan/tilt movements). 0 is a special case where a static
camera is simulated.

@item optalgo
Set the camera path optimization algorithm.

Accepted values are:
@table @samp
@item gauss
gaussian kernel low-pass filter on camera motion (default)
@item avg
averaging on transformations
@end table

@item maxshift
Set maximal number of pixels to translate frames. Default value is -1,
meaning no limit.

@item maxangle
Set maximal angle in radians (degree*PI/180) to rotate frames. Default
value is -1, meaning no limit.

@item crop
Specify how to deal with borders that may be visible due to movement
compensation.

Available values are:
@table @samp
@item keep
keep image information from previous frame (default)
@item black
fill the border black
@end table

@item invert
Invert transforms if set to 1. Default value is 0.

@item relative
Consider transforms as relative to previous frame if set to 1,
absolute if set to 0. Default value is 0.

@item zoom
Set percentage to zoom. A positive value will result in a zoom-in
effect, a negative value in a zoom-out effect. Default value is 0 (no
zoom).

@item optzoom
Set optimal zooming to avoid borders.

Accepted values are:
@table @samp
@item 0
disabled
@item 1
optimal static zoom value is determined (only very strong movements
will lead to visible borders) (default)
@item 2
optimal adaptive zoom value is determined (no borders will be
visible), see @option{zoomspeed}
@end table

Note that the value given at zoom is added to the one calculated here.

@item zoomspeed
Set percent to zoom maximally each frame (enabled when
@option{optzoom} is set to 2). Range is from 0 to 5, default value is
0.25.

@item interpol
Specify type of interpolation.

Available values are:
@table @samp
@item no
no interpolation
@item linear
linear only horizontal
@item bilinear
linear in both directions (default)
@item bicubic
cubic in both directions (slow)
@end table

@item tripod
Enable virtual tripod mode if set to 1, which is equivalent to
@code{relative=0:smoothing=0}. Default value is 0.

Use also @code{tripod} option of @ref{vidstabdetect}.

@item debug
Increase log verbosity if set to 1. Also the detected global motions
are written to the temporary file @file{global_motions.trf}. Default
value is 0.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Use @command{ffmpeg} for a typical stabilization with default values:
@example
ffmpeg -i inp.mpeg -vf vidstabtransform,unsharp=5:5:0.8:3:3:0.4 inp_stabilized.mpeg
@end example

Note the use of the @ref{unsharp} filter which is always recommended.

@item
Zoom in a bit more and load transform data from a given file:
@example
vidstabtransform=zoom=5:input="mytransforms.trf"
@end example

@item
Smoothen the video even more:
@example
vidstabtransform=smoothing=30
@end example
@end itemize

@section vflip

Flip the input video vertically.

For example, to vertically flip a video with @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "vflip" out.avi
@end example

@section vfrdet

Detect variable frame rate video.

This filter tries to detect if the input is variable or constant frame rate.

At end it will output number of frames detected as having variable delta pts,
and ones with constant delta pts.
If there was frames with variable delta, than it will also show min, max and
average delta encountered.

@section vibrance

otherwise colors will be less saturated, more towards gray.
@end table

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the all above options as @ref{commands}.

@anchor{vignette}
@section vignette

Make or reverse a natural vignetting effect.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item angle, a
Set lens angle expression as a number of radians.

The value is clipped in the @code{[0,PI/2]} range.

Default value: @code{"PI/5"}

@item x0
@item y0
Set center coordinates expressions. Respectively @code{"w/2"} and @code{"h/2"}
by default.

@item mode
Set forward/backward mode.

Available modes are:
@table @samp
@item forward
The larger the distance from the central point, the darker the image becomes.

@item backward
The larger the distance from the central point, the brighter the image becomes.
This can be used to reverse a vignette effect, though there is no automatic
detection to extract the lens @option{angle} and other settings (yet). It can
also be used to create a burning effect.
@end table

Default value is @samp{forward}.

@item eval
Set evaluation mode for the expressions (@option{angle}, @option{x0}, @option{y0}).

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item init
Evaluate expressions only once during the filter initialization.

@item frame
Evaluate expressions for each incoming frame. This is way slower than the
@samp{init} mode since it requires all the scalers to be re-computed, but it
allows advanced dynamic expressions.
@end table

Default value is @samp{init}.

@item dither
Set dithering to reduce the circular banding effects. Default is @code{1}
(enabled).

@item aspect
Set vignette aspect. This setting allows one to adjust the shape of the vignette.
Setting this value to the SAR of the input will make a rectangular vignetting
following the dimensions of the video.

Default is @code{1/1}.
@end table

@subsection Expressions

The @option{alpha}, @option{x0} and @option{y0} expressions can contain the
following parameters.

@table @option
@item w
@item h

@end example

@item
Make a flickering vignetting:
@example
vignette='PI/4+random(1)*PI/50':eval=frame
@end example

@end itemize

@section vmafmotion

Obtain the average VMAF motion score of a video.
It is one of the component metrics of VMAF.

The obtained average motion score is printed through the logging system.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item stats_file
If specified, the filter will use the named file to save the motion score of
each frame with respect to the previous frame.
When filename equals "-" the data is sent to standard output.
@end table

Example:
@example
ffmpeg -i ref.mpg -vf vmafmotion -f null -
@end example

@section vstack
Stack input videos vertically.

All streams must be of same pixel format and of same width.

Note that this filter is faster than using @ref{overlay} and @ref{pad} filter
to create same output.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item inputs
Set number of input streams. Default is 2.

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

@section 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 @ref{setfield} filter before @code{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:

@table @option
@item filter
Set the interlacing filter coefficients. Accepts one of the following values:

@table @samp
@item simple
Simple filter coefficient set.
@item complex
More-complex filter coefficient set.
@end table
Default value is @samp{complex}.

@item mode
The interlacing mode to adopt. It accepts one of the following values:

@table @option
@item frame
Output one frame for each frame.
@item field
Output one frame for each field.
@end table

The default value is @code{field}.

@item parity
The picture field parity assumed for the input interlaced video. It accepts one
of the following values:

@table @option
@item tff
Assume the top field is first.
@item bff
Assume the bottom field is first.
@item auto
Enable automatic detection of field parity.
@end table

The default value is @code{auto}.
If the interlacing is unknown or the decoder does not export this information,
top field first will be assumed.

@item deint
Specify which frames to deinterlace. Accepts one of the following values:

@table @samp
@item all
Deinterlace all frames,
@item interlaced
Only deinterlace frames marked as interlaced.
@end table

Default value is @samp{all}.
@end table

@subsection Commands
This filter supports same @ref{commands} as options.

@section waveform
Video waveform monitor.

The waveform monitor plots color component intensity. By default luminance
only. Each column of the waveform corresponds to a column of pixels in the
source video.

It accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item mode, m
Can be either @code{row}, or @code{column}. Default is @code{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 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 @code{0.04}. Allowed range is [0, 1].

@item mirror, r
Set mirroring mode. @code{0} means unmirrored, @code{1} means mirrored.
In mirrored mode, higher values will be represented on the left
side for @code{row} mode and at the top for @code{column} mode. Default is
@code{1} (mirrored).

@item display, d
Set display mode.
It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item overlay
Presents information identical to that in the @code{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 stack
Display separate graph for the color components side by side in
@code{row} mode or one below the other in @code{column} mode.

@item parade
Display separate graph for the color components side by side in
@code{column} mode or one below the other in @code{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.
@end table
Default is @code{stack}.

@item components, c
Set which color components to display. Default is 1, which means only luminance
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.

@item envelope, e
@table @samp
@item none
No envelope, this is default.

@item instant
Instant envelope, minimum and maximum values presented in graph will be easily
visible even with small @code{step} value.

@item peak
Hold minimum and maximum values presented in graph across time. This way you
can still spot out of range values without constantly looking at waveforms.

@item peak+instant
Peak and instant envelope combined together.
@end table

@item filter, f
@table @samp
@item lowpass
No filtering, this is default.

@item flat

pixel formats are not RGB.
@end table

@section weave, doubleweave

The @code{weave} takes a field-based video input and join
each two sequential fields into single frame, producing a new double
height clip with half the frame rate and half the frame count.

The @code{doubleweave} works same as @code{weave} but without
halving frame rate and frame count.

It accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item first_field

@subsection Commands

This filter supports all above options as @ref{commands}, excluding option @code{inputs}.

@section xstack
Stack video inputs into custom layout.

All streams must be of same pixel format.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item inputs
Set number of input streams. Default is 2.

@item 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 @code{0_0|w0_0} is set. In all other cases,
a layout must be set by the user.

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

@item 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.

@anchor{zscale}
@section zscale
Scale (resize) the input video, using the z.lib library:
@url{https://github.com/sekrit-twc/zimg}. To enable compilation of this
filter, you need to configure FFmpeg with @code{--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.

@subsection Options
The filter accepts the following options.

@table @option
@item width, w
@item height, h
Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input
dimension.

If the @var{width} or @var{w} value is 0, the input width is used for
the output. If the @var{height} or @var{h} value is 0, the input height
is used for the output.

If one and only one of the values is -n with n >= 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 >= 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.

@chapter OpenCL Video Filters
@c man begin 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
@code{--enable-opencl}.

Running OpenCL filters requires you to initialize a hardware device and to pass that device to all filters in any filter graph.
@table @option

@item -init_hw_device opencl[=@var{name}][:@var{device}[,@var{key=value}...]]
Initialise a new hardware device of type @var{opencl} called @var{name}, using the
given device parameters.

@item -filter_hw_device @var{name}
Pass the hardware device called @var{name} to all filters in any filter graph.

@end table

For more detailed information see @url{https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Advanced-Video-options}

@itemize
@item
Example of choosing the first device on the second platform and running avgblur_opencl filter with default parameters on it.
@example
-init_hw_device opencl=gpu:1.0 -filter_hw_device gpu -i INPUT -vf "hwupload, avgblur_opencl, hwdownload" OUTPUT
@end example
@end itemize

Since OpenCL filters are not able to access frame data in normal memory, all frame data needs to be uploaded(@ref{hwupload}) to hardware surfaces connected to the appropriate device before being used and then downloaded(@ref{hwdownload}) back to normal memory. Note that @ref{hwupload} will upload to a surface with the same layout as the software frame, so it may be necessary to add a @ref{format} filter immediately before to get the input into the right format and @ref{hwdownload} does not support all formats on the output - it may be necessary to insert an additional @ref{format} filter immediately following in the graph to get the output in a supported format.

@section avgblur_opencl

Apply average blur filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item sizeX
Set horizontal radius size.
Range is @code{[1, 1024]} and default value is @code{1}.

@item planes
Set which planes to filter. Default value is @code{0xf}, by which all planes are processed.

@item sizeY
Set vertical radius size. Range is @code{[1, 1024]} and default value is @code{0}. If zero, @code{sizeX} value will be used.
@end table

@subsection Example

@itemize
@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.
@example
-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, avgblur_opencl=3, hwdownload" OUTPUT
@end example
@end itemize

@section boxblur_opencl

Apply a boxblur algorithm to the input video.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item luma_radius, lr
@item luma_power, lp
@item chroma_radius, cr
@item chroma_power, cp
@item alpha_radius, ar
@item alpha_power, ap

@end table

A description of the accepted options follows.

@table @option
@item luma_radius, lr
@item chroma_radius, cr
@item 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 @code{min(w,h)/2} for the
luma and alpha planes, and of @code{min(cw,ch)/2} for the chroma
planes.

Default value for @option{luma_radius} is "2". If not specified,
@option{chroma_radius} and @option{alpha_radius} default to the
corresponding value set for @option{luma_radius}.

The expressions can contain the following constants:
@table @option
@item w
@item h
The input width and height in pixels.

@item cw
@item ch
The input chroma image width and height in pixels.

@item hsub
@item vsub
The horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values. For example, for the
pixel format "yuv422p", @var{hsub} is 2 and @var{vsub} is 1.
@end table

@item luma_power, lp
@item chroma_power, cp
@item alpha_power, ap
Specify how many times the boxblur filter is applied to the
corresponding plane.

Default value for @option{luma_power} is 2. If not specified,
@option{chroma_power} and @option{alpha_power} default to the
corresponding value set for @option{luma_power}.

A value of 0 will disable the effect.
@end table

@subsection Examples

Apply boxblur filter, setting each pixel of the output to the average value of box-radiuses @var{luma_radius}, @var{chroma_radius}, @var{alpha_radius} for each plane respectively. The filter will apply @var{luma_power}, @var{chroma_power}, @var{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.

@itemize
@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.
@example
-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, boxblur_opencl=luma_radius=2:luma_power=3, hwdownload" OUTPUT
-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, boxblur_opencl=2:3, hwdownload" OUTPUT
@end example

@item
Apply a boxblur filter with luma radius set to 2, luma_power to 1, chroma_radius to 4, chroma_power to 5, alpha_radius to 3 and alpha_power to 7.

For the luma plane, a 2x2 box radius will be run once.

For the chroma plane, a 4x4 box radius will be run 5 times.

For the alpha plane, a 3x3 box radius will be run 7 times.
@example
-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, boxblur_opencl=2:1:4:5:3:7, hwdownload" OUTPUT
@end example
@end itemize

@section colorkey_opencl
RGB colorspace color keying.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item color
The color which will be replaced with transparency.

@item similarity
Similarity percentage with the key color.

0.01 matches only the exact key color, while 1.0 matches everything.

@item blend
Blend percentage.

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.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Make every semi-green pixel in the input transparent with some slight blending:
@example
-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, colorkey_opencl=green:0.3:0.1, hwdownload" OUTPUT

@section deshake_opencl
Feature-point based video stabilization filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item tripod
Simulates a tripod by preventing any camera movement whatsoever from the original frame. Defaults to @code{0}.

@item debug
Whether or not additional debug info should be displayed, both in the processed output and in the console.

Note that in order to see console debug output you will also need to pass @code{-v verbose} to ffmpeg.

Viewing point matches in the output video is only supported for RGB input.

Defaults to @code{0}.

@item adaptive_crop
Whether or not to do a tiny bit of cropping at the borders to cut down on the amount of mirrored pixels.

Defaults to @code{1}.

@item refine_features
Whether or not feature points should be refined at a sub-pixel level.

This can be turned off for a slight performance gain at the cost of precision.

Defaults to @code{1}.

@item smooth_strength
The strength of the smoothing applied to the camera path from @code{0.0} to @code{1.0}.

@code{1.0} is the maximum smoothing strength while values less than that result in less smoothing.

@code{0.0} causes the filter to adaptively choose a smoothing strength on a per-frame basis.

Defaults to @code{0.0}.

@item 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 @code{0.1} to @code{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 @code{2.0}.

@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Stabilize a video with a fixed, medium smoothing strength:
@example
-i INPUT -vf "hwupload, deshake_opencl=smooth_strength=0.5, hwdownload" OUTPUT

@section prewitt_opencl

Apply the Prewitt operator (@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prewitt_operator}) to input video stream.

The filter accepts the following option:

@table @option
@item planes
Set which planes to filter. Default value is @code{0xf}, by which all planes are processed.

@item scale
Set value which will be multiplied with filtered result.
Range is @code{[0.0, 65535]} and default value is @code{1.0}.

@item delta
Set value which will be added to filtered result.
Range is @code{[-65535, 65535]} and default value is @code{0.0}.
@end table

@subsection Example

@itemize
@item
Apply the Prewitt operator with scale set to 2 and delta set to 10.

@anchor{program_opencl}
@section program_opencl

Filter video using an OpenCL program.

@table @option

@item source
OpenCL program source file.

@item kernel
Kernel name in program.

@item inputs
Number of inputs to the filter.  Defaults to 1.

@item size, s
Size of output frames.  Defaults to the same as the first input.

@end table

The @code{program_opencl} filter also supports the @ref{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:
@itemize
@item
Destination image, @var{__write_only image2d_t}.

This image will become the output; the kernel should write all of it.
@item
Frame index, @var{unsigned int}.

This is a counter starting from zero and increasing by one for each frame.
@item
Source images, @var{__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.
@end itemize

Example programs:

@itemize
@item
Copy the input to the output (output must be the same size as the input).
@verbatim
__kernel void copy(__write_only image2d_t destination,
                   unsigned int index,
                   __read_only  image2d_t source)
{
    const sampler_t sampler = CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE;

    int2 location = (int2)(get_global_id(0), get_global_id(1));

    float4 value = read_imagef(source, sampler, location);

    write_imagef(destination, location, value);
}
@end verbatim

@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.
@verbatim
__kernel void rotate_image(__write_only image2d_t dst,
                           unsigned int index,

{
    const sampler_t sampler = (CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE |
                               CLK_FILTER_LINEAR);

    float angle = (float)index / 100.0f;

    float2 dst_dim = convert_float2(get_image_dim(dst));
    float2 src_dim = convert_float2(get_image_dim(src));

    float2 dst_cen = dst_dim / 2.0f;
    float2 src_cen = src_dim / 2.0f;

    int2   dst_loc = (int2)(get_global_id(0), get_global_id(1));

    float2 dst_pos = convert_float2(dst_loc) - dst_cen;
    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));
}
@end verbatim

@item
Blend two inputs together, with the amount of each input used varying
with the index counter.
@verbatim
__kernel void blend_images(__write_only image2d_t dst,
                           unsigned int index,
                           __read_only  image2d_t src1,
                           __read_only  image2d_t src2)
{
    const sampler_t sampler = (CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE |
                               CLK_FILTER_LINEAR);

    float blend = (cos((float)index / 50.0f) + 1.0f) / 2.0f;

    int2  dst_loc = (int2)(get_global_id(0), get_global_id(1));
    int2 src1_loc = dst_loc * get_image_dim(src1) / get_image_dim(dst);
    int2 src2_loc = dst_loc * get_image_dim(src2) / get_image_dim(dst);

    float4 val1 = read_imagef(src1, sampler, src1_loc);

@item param
Tune the tone mapping algorithm. same as param option in @ref{tonemap}.

@item 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 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 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.

@chapter VAAPI Video Filters
@c man begin VAAPI VIDEO FILTERS

VAAPI Video filters are usually used with VAAPI decoder and VAAPI encoder. Below is a description of VAAPI video filters.

To enable compilation of these filters you need to configure FFmpeg with
@code{--enable-vaapi}.

To use vaapi filters, you need to setup the vaapi device correctly. For more information, please read @url{https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/VAAPI}

@section tonemap_vaapi

Perform HDR(High Dynamic Range) to SDR(Standard Dynamic Range) conversion with tone-mapping.
It maps the dynamic range of HDR10 content to the SDR content.
It currently only accepts HDR10 as input.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option
@item format
Specify the output pixel format.

Currently supported formats are:
@table @var
@item p010
@item nv12
@end table

Default is nv12.

@item primaries, p

@chapter Video Sources
@c man begin VIDEO SOURCES

Below is a description of the currently available video sources.

@section 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 @file{libavfilter/buffersrc.h}.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item video_size
Specify the size (width and height) of the buffered video frames. For the
syntax of this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

@item width
The input video width.

@item height
The input video height.

@item 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 time_base
Specify the timebase assumed by the timestamps of the buffered frames.

@item frame_rate
Specify the frame rate expected for the video stream.

@item pixel_aspect, sar
The sample (pixel) aspect ratio of the input video.

@item sws_param
This option is deprecated and ignored. Prepend @code{sws_flags=@var{flags};}
to the filtergraph description to specify swscale flags for automatically
inserted scalers. See @ref{Filtergraph syntax}.

@item hw_frames_ctx
When using a hardware pixel format, this should be a reference to an
AVHWFramesContext describing input frames.
@end table

For example:
@example
buffer=width=320:height=240:pix_fmt=yuv410p:time_base=1/24:sar=1
@end example

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 @file{libavutil/pixfmt.h}),
this example corresponds to:
@example
buffer=size=320x240:pixfmt=6:time_base=1/24:pixel_aspect=1/1
@end example

Alternatively, the options can be specified as a flat string, but this
syntax is deprecated:

@var{width}:@var{height}:@var{pix_fmt}:@var{time_base.num}:@var{time_base.den}:@var{pixel_aspect.num}:@var{pixel_aspect.den}

@section cellauto

Create a pattern generated by an elementary cellular automaton.

The initial state of the cellular automaton can be defined through the
@option{filename} and @option{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 @option{scroll} option.

This source accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 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 rate, r
Set the video rate, that is the number of frames generated per second.
Default is 25.

@item 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 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 rule
Set the cellular automaton rule, it is a number ranging from 0 to 255.
Default value is 110.

@item size, s
Set the size of the output video. For the syntax of this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

If @option{filename} or @option{pattern} is specified, the size is set
by default to the width of the specified initial state row, and the
height is set to @var{width} * PHI.

If @option{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 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 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 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.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Read the initial state from @file{pattern}, and specify an output of
size 200x400.
@example
cellauto=f=pattern:s=200x400

To enable compilation of this filter you need to install the frei0r
header and configure FFmpeg with @code{--enable-frei0r}.

This source accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item size
The size of the video to generate. For the syntax of this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

@item framerate
The framerate of the generated video. It may be a string of the form
@var{num}/@var{den} or a frame rate abbreviation.

@item filter_name
The name to the frei0r source to load. For more information regarding frei0r and
how to set the parameters, read the @ref{frei0r} section in the video filters
documentation.

@item filter_params

@example
frei0r_src=size=200x200:framerate=10:filter_name=partik0l:filter_params=1234 [overlay]; [in][overlay] overlay
@end example

@section 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 @option{rule} option allows one to specify
the rule to adopt.

This source accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 rate, r
Set the video rate, that is the number of frames generated per second.
Default is 25.

@item 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 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 rule
Set the life rule.

A rule can be specified with a code of the kind "S@var{NS}/B@var{NB}",
where @var{NS} and @var{NB} are sequences of numbers in the range 0-8,
@var{NS} specifies the number of alive neighbor cells which make a
live cell stay alive, and @var{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 = @code{(12<<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 size, s
Set the size of the output video. For the syntax of this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

If @option{filename} is specified, the size is set by default to the
same size of the input file. If @option{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 stitch
If set to 1, stitch the left and right grid edges together, and the
top and bottom edges also. Defaults to 1.

@item mold
Set cell mold speed. If set, a dead cell will go from @option{death_color} to
@option{mold_color} with a step of @option{mold}. @option{mold} can have a
value from 0 to 255.

@item life_color
Set the color of living (or new born) cells.

@item death_color
Set the color of dead cells. If @option{mold} is set, this is the first color
used to represent a dead cell.

@item mold_color
Set mold color, for definitely dead and moldy cells.

For the syntax of these 3 color options, check the @ref{color syntax,,"Color" section in the
ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

@section allrgb, allyuv, color, haldclutsrc, nullsrc, pal75bars, pal100bars, rgbtestsrc, smptebars, smptehdbars, testsrc, testsrc2, yuvtestsrc

The @code{allrgb} source returns frames of size 4096x4096 of all rgb colors.

The @code{allyuv} source returns frames of size 4096x4096 of all yuv colors.

The @code{color} source provides an uniformly colored input.

The @code{haldclutsrc} source provides an identity Hald CLUT. See also
@ref{haldclut} filter.

The @code{nullsrc} source returns unprocessed video frames. It is
mainly useful to be employed in analysis / debugging tools, or as the
source for filters which ignore the input data.

The @code{pal75bars} source generates a color bars pattern, based on
EBU PAL recommendations with 75% color levels.

The @code{pal100bars} source generates a color bars pattern, based on
EBU PAL recommendations with 100% color levels.

The @code{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.

The @code{smptebars} source generates a color bars pattern, based on
the SMPTE Engineering Guideline EG 1-1990.

The @code{smptehdbars} source generates a color bars pattern, based on
the SMPTE RP 219-2002.

The @code{testsrc} source generates a test video pattern, showing a
color pattern, a scrolling gradient and a timestamp. This is mainly
intended for testing purposes.

The @code{testsrc2} source is similar to testsrc, but supports more
pixel formats instead of just @code{rgb24}. This allows using it as an
input for other tests without requiring a format conversion.

The @code{yuvtestsrc} source generates an YUV test pattern. You should
see a y, cb and cr stripe from top to bottom.

The sources accept the following parameters:

@table @option

@item level
Specify the level of the Hald CLUT, only available in the @code{haldclutsrc}
source. A level of @code{N} generates a picture of @code{N*N*N} by @code{N*N*N}
pixels to be used as identity matrix for 3D lookup tables. Each component is
coded on a @code{1/(N*N)} scale.

@item color, c
Specify the color of the source, only available in the @code{color}
source. For the syntax of this option, check the
@ref{color syntax,,"Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.

@item size, s
Specify the size of the sourced video. For the syntax of this option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
The default value is @code{320x240}.

This option is not available with the @code{allrgb}, @code{allyuv}, and
@code{haldclutsrc} filters.

@item rate, r
Specify the frame rate of the sourced video, as the number of frames
generated per second. It has to be a string in the format
@var{frame_rate_num}/@var{frame_rate_den}, an integer number, a floating point
number or a valid video frame rate abbreviation. The default value is
"25".

@item duration, d
Set the duration of the sourced video. See
@ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
for the accepted syntax.

If not specified, or the expressed duration is negative, the video is
supposed to be generated forever.

Since the frame rate is used as time base, all frames including the last one
will have their full duration. If the specified duration is not a multiple
of the frame duration, it will be rounded up.

@item sar
Set the sample aspect ratio of the sourced video.

@item alpha
Specify the alpha (opacity) of the background, only available in the
@code{testsrc2} source. The value must be between 0 (fully transparent) and
255 (fully opaque, the default).

@item decimals, n
Set the number of decimals to show in the timestamp, only available in the
@code{testsrc} source.

The displayed timestamp value will correspond to the original
timestamp value multiplied by the power of 10 of the specified
value. Default value is 0.

@section bench, abench

Benchmark part of a filtergraph.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item action
Start or stop a timer.

Available values are:
@table @samp
@item start
Get the current time, set it as frame metadata (using the key
@code{lavfi.bench.start_time}), and forward the frame to the next filter.

@item stop
Get the current time and fetch the @code{lavfi.bench.start_time} metadata from
the input frame metadata to get the time difference. Time difference, average,
maximum and minimum time (respectively @code{t}, @code{avg}, @code{max} and
@code{min}) are then printed. The timestamps are expressed in seconds.
@end table
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Benchmark @ref{selectivecolor} filter:
@example
bench=start,selectivecolor=reds=-.2 .12 -.49,bench=stop
@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:

@table @option

@item n
Set the number of segments. Default is 2.

@item v
Set the number of output video streams, that is also the number of video
streams in each segment. Default is 1.

@item a
Set the number of output audio streams, that is also the number of audio
streams in each segment. Default is 0.

@item unsafe
Activate unsafe mode: do not fail if segments have a different format.

@end table

The filter has @var{v}+@var{a} outputs: first @var{v} video outputs, then
@var{a} audio outputs.

There are @var{n}x(@var{v}+@var{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.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Concatenate an opening, an episode and an ending, all in bilingual version
(video in stream 0, audio in streams 1 and 2):
@example
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
@end example

@item
Concatenate two parts, handling audio and video separately, using the
(a)movie sources, and adjusting the resolution:
@example
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]
@end example
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.

@subsection Commands

This filter supports the following commands:
@table @option
@item next
Close the current segment and step to the next one
@end table

@anchor{ebur128}
@section 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 @code{M}), Short-term loudness (@code{S}),
Integrated loudness (@code{I}) and Loudness Range (@code{LRA}).

The filter can only analyze streams which have a sampling rate of 48000 Hz and whose
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 @var{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 @var{gauge}).

The green area marks a  +/- 1LU target range around the target loudness
(-23LUFS by default, unless modified through @var{target}).

More information about the Loudness Recommendation EBU R128 on
@url{http://tech.ebu.ch/loudness}.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option

@item 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 @code{0}.

@item size
Set the video size. This option is for video only. For the syntax of this
option, check the
@ref{video size syntax,,"Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
Default and minimum resolution is @code{640x480}.

@item meter
Set the EBU scale meter. Default is @code{9}. Common values are @code{9} and
@code{18}, respectively for EBU scale meter +9 and EBU scale meter +18. Any
other integer value between this range is allowed.

@item metadata
Set metadata injection. If set to @code{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 @code{lavfi.r128.}.

Default is @code{0}.

@item framelog
Force the frame logging level.

Available values are:
@table @samp
@item info
information logging level
@item verbose
verbose logging level
@end table

By default, the logging level is set to @var{info}. If the @option{video} or
the @option{metadata} options are set, it switches to @var{verbose}.

@item peak
Set peak mode(s).

Available modes can be cumulated (the option is a @code{flag} type). Possible
values are:
@table @samp
@item none
Disable any peak mode (default).
@item sample
Enable sample-peak mode.

Simple peak mode looking for the higher sample value. It logs a message
for sample-peak (identified by @code{SPK}).
@item 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 @code{TPK}) and true-peak per frame (identified by @code{FTPK}).
This mode requires a build with @code{libswresample}.
@end table

@item 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 @code{true}, this option will compensate for this effect.
Multi-channel input files are not affected by this option.

@item 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 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 gauge
Set the value displayed by the gauge. Valid values are @code{momentary} and s
@code{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 scale
Sets the display scale for the loudness. Valid parameters are @code{absolute}
(in LUFS) or @code{relative} (LU) relative to the target. This only affects the
video output, not the summary or continuous log output.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Real-time graph using @command{ffplay}, with a EBU scale meter +18:
@example
ffplay -f lavfi -i "amovie=input.mp3,ebur128=video=1:meter=18 [out0][out1]"
@end example

@item
Run an analysis with @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -nostats -i input.mp3 -filter_complex ebur128 -f null -
@end example
@end itemize

@section interleave, ainterleave

Temporally interleave frames from several inputs.

@code{interleave} works with video inputs, @code{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 @code{select} filter
which always drops input frames. The @code{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:

@table @option
@item nb_inputs, n
Set the number of different inputs, it is 2 by default.

@item duration
How to determine the end-of-stream.

@table @option
@item longest
The duration of the longest input. (default)

@item shortest
The duration of the shortest input.

@item first
The duration of the first input.
@end table

@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Interleave frames belonging to different streams using @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i bambi.avi -i pr0n.mkv -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v] interleave" out.avi
@end example

@item
Add flickering blur effect:
@example
select='if(gt(random(0), 0.2), 1, 2)':n=2 [tmp], boxblur=2:2, [tmp] interleave
@end example
@end itemize

@section metadata, ametadata

Manipulate frame metadata.

This filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item mode
Set mode of operation of the filter.

Can be one of the following:

@table @samp
@item select
If both @code{value} and @code{key} is set, select frames
which have such metadata. If only @code{key} is set, select
every frame that has such key in metadata.

@item add
Add new metadata @code{key} and @code{value}. If key is already available
do nothing.

@item modify
Modify value of already present key.

@item delete
If @code{value} is set, delete only keys that have such value.
Otherwise, delete key. If @code{key} is not set, delete all metadata values in
the frame.

@item print
Print key and its value if metadata was found. If @code{key} is not set print all
metadata values available in frame.
@end table

@item key
Set key used with all modes. Must be set for all modes except @code{print} and @code{delete}.

@item value
Set metadata value which will be used. This option is mandatory for
@code{modify} and @code{add} mode.

@item function
Which function to use when comparing metadata value and @code{value}.

Can be one of following:

@table @samp
@item same_str
Values are interpreted as strings, returns true if metadata value is same as @code{value}.

@item starts_with
Values are interpreted as strings, returns true if metadata value starts with
the @code{value} option string.

@item less
Values are interpreted as floats, returns true if metadata value is less than @code{value}.

@item equal
Values are interpreted as floats, returns true if @code{value} is equal with metadata value.

@item greater
Values are interpreted as floats, returns true if metadata value is greater than @code{value}.

@item expr
Values are interpreted as floats, returns true if expression from option @code{expr}
evaluates to true.

@item ends_with
Values are interpreted as strings, returns true if metadata value ends with
the @code{value} option string.
@end table

@item expr
Set expression which is used when @code{function} is set to @code{expr}.
The expression is evaluated through the eval API and can contain the following
constants:

@table @option
@item VALUE1
Float representation of @code{value} from metadata key.

@item VALUE2
Float representation of @code{value} as supplied by user in @code{value} option.
@end table

@item file
If specified in @code{print} mode, output is written to the named file. Instead of
plain filename any writable url can be specified. Filename ``-'' is a shorthand
for standard output. If @code{file} option is not set, output is written to the log
with AV_LOG_INFO loglevel.

@item direct
Reduces buffering in print mode when output is written to a URL set using @var{file}.

@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Print all metadata values for frames with key @code{lavfi.signalstats.YDIF} with values
between 0 and 1.
@example
signalstats,metadata=print:key=lavfi.signalstats.YDIF:value=0:function=expr:expr='between(VALUE1,0,1)'
@end example
@item
Print silencedetect output to file @file{metadata.txt}.
@example
silencedetect,ametadata=mode=print:file=metadata.txt
@end example
@item
Direct all metadata to a pipe with file descriptor 4.
@example
metadata=mode=print:file='pipe\:4'
@end example
@end itemize

@section 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:

@table @option
@item mode
Select the permissions mode.

It accepts the following values:
@table @samp
@item none
Do nothing. This is the default.
@item ro
Set all the output frames read-only.
@item rw
Set all the output frames directly writable.
@item toggle
Make the frame read-only if writable, and writable if read-only.
@item random
Set each output frame read-only or writable randomly.
@end table

@item seed
Set the seed for the @var{random} mode, must be an integer included between
@code{0} and @code{UINT32_MAX}. If not specified, or if explicitly set to
@code{-1}, the filter will try to use a good random seed on a best effort
basis.
@end table

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 @ref{format} or @ref{aformat} filter before the
perms/aperms filter can avoid this problem.

@section 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 @option{re} option to @code{ffmpeg}.

They accept the following options:

@table @option
@item 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 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 @var{limit} is automatically adapted
accordingly. Default is 1.0.

A processing speed faster than what is possible without these filters cannot
be achieved.
@end table

@anchor{select}
@section select, aselect

Select frames to pass in output.

This filter accepts the following options:

@table @option

@item 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
@code{ceil(val)-1}, assuming that the input index starts from 0.

For example a value of @code{1.2} corresponds to the output with index
@code{ceil(1.2)-1 = 2-1 = 1}, that is the second output.

@item 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.
@end table

The expression can contain the following constants:

@table @option
@item n
The (sequential) number of the filtered frame, starting from 0.

@item selected_n
The (sequential) number of the selected frame, starting from 0.

@item prev_selected_n
The sequential number of the last selected frame. It's NAN if undefined.

@item TB
The timebase of the input timestamps.

@item pts
The PTS (Presentation TimeStamp) of the filtered video frame,
expressed in @var{TB} units. It's NAN if undefined.

@item t
The PTS of the filtered video frame,
expressed in seconds. It's NAN if undefined.

@item prev_pts
The PTS of the previously filtered video frame. It's NAN if undefined.

@item prev_selected_pts
The PTS of the last previously filtered video frame. It's NAN if undefined.

@item prev_selected_t
The PTS of the last previously selected video frame, expressed in seconds. It's NAN if undefined.

@item start_pts
The PTS of the first video frame in the video. It's NAN if undefined.

@item start_t
The time of the first video frame in the video. It's NAN if undefined.

@item pict_type @emph{(video only)}
The type of the filtered frame. It can assume one of the following
values:
@table @option
@item I
@item P
@item B
@item S
@item SI
@item SP
@item BI
@end table

@item interlace_type @emph{(video only)}
The frame interlace type. It can assume one of the following values:
@table @option
@item PROGRESSIVE
The frame is progressive (not interlaced).
@item TOPFIRST
The frame is top-field-first.
@item BOTTOMFIRST
The frame is bottom-field-first.
@end table

@item consumed_sample_n @emph{(audio only)}
the number of selected samples before the current frame

@item samples_n @emph{(audio only)}
the number of samples in the current frame

@item sample_rate @emph{(audio only)}
the input sample rate

@item key
This is 1 if the filtered frame is a key-frame, 0 otherwise.

@item pos
the position in the file of the filtered frame, -1 if the information
is not available (e.g. for synthetic video)

@item scene @emph{(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 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 @var{lavf.concat.start_time}
and the @var{lavf.concat.duration} packet metadata values which are also
present in the decoded frames.

The @var{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.

@end table

The default value of the select expression is "1".

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Select all frames in input:
@example
select
@end example

The example above is the same as:
@example
select=1
@end example

@item
Skip all frames:
@example
select=0
@end example

@item
Select only I-frames:
@example
select='eq(pict_type\,I)'
@end example

@item
Select one frame every 100:
@example
select='not(mod(n\,100))'
@end example

@item
Select only frames contained in the 10-20 time interval:
@example
select=between(t\,10\,20)
@end example

@item
Select only I-frames contained in the 10-20 time interval:
@example
select=between(t\,10\,20)*eq(pict_type\,I)
@end example

@item
Create a mosaic of the first scenes:
@example
ffmpeg -i video.avi -vf select='gt(scene\,0.4)',scale=160:120,tile -frames:v 1 preview.png
@end example

Comparing @var{scene} against a value between 0.3 and 0.5 is generally a sane
choice.

@item
Send even and odd frames to separate outputs, and compose them:
@example
select=n=2:e='mod(n, 2)+1' [odd][even]; [odd] pad=h=2*ih [tmp]; [tmp][even] overlay=y=h
@end example

@item
Select useful frames from an ffconcat file which is using inpoints and
outpoints but where the source files are not intra frame only.
@example
ffmpeg -copyts -vsync 0 -segment_time_metadata 1 -i input.ffconcat -vf select=concatdec_select -af aselect=concatdec_select output.avi
@end example
@end itemize

@section sendcmd, asendcmd

Send commands to filters in the filtergraph.

These filters read commands to be sent to other filters in the
filtergraph.

@code{sendcmd} must be inserted between two video filters,
@code{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 @var{commands} option, or in a file specified by the
@var{filename} option.

These filters accept the following options:
@table @option
@item commands, c
Set the commands to be read and sent to the other filters.
@item filename, f
Set the filename of the commands to be read and sent to the other
filters.
@end table

@subsection 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:
@example
@var{START}[-@var{END}] @var{COMMANDS};
@end example

The time interval is specified by the @var{START} and @var{END} times.
@var{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 [@var{START}, @var{END}), that is when
the time is greater or equal to @var{START} and is lesser than
@var{END}.

@var{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:
@example
[@var{FLAGS}] @var{TARGET} @var{COMMAND} @var{ARG}
@end example

@var{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:
@table @option
@item 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 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 expr
The command @var{ARG} is interpreted as expression and result of
expression is passed as @var{ARG}.

The expression is evaluated through the eval API and can contain the following
constants:

@table @option
@item POS
Original position in the file of the frame, or undefined if undefined
for the current frame.

@item PTS
The presentation timestamp in input.

@item N
The count of the input frame for video or audio, starting from 0.

@item T
The time in seconds of the current frame.

@item TS
The start time in seconds of the current command interval.

@item TE
The end time in seconds of the current command interval.

@item TI
The interpolated time of the current command interval, TI = (T - TS) / (TE - TS).
@end table

@end table

If @var{FLAGS} is not specified, a default value of @code{[enter]} is
assumed.

@var{TARGET} specifies the target of the command, usually the name of
the filter class or a specific filter instance name.

@var{COMMAND} specifies the name of the command for the target filter.

@var{ARG} is optional and specifies the optional list of argument for
the given @var{COMMAND}.

Between one interval specification and another, whitespaces, or
sequences of characters starting with @code{#} until the end of line,
are ignored and can be used to annotate comments.

A simplified BNF description of the commands specification syntax
follows:
@example
@var{COMMAND_FLAG}  ::= "enter" | "leave"
@var{COMMAND_FLAGS} ::= @var{COMMAND_FLAG} [(+|"|")@var{COMMAND_FLAG}]
@var{COMMAND}       ::= ["[" @var{COMMAND_FLAGS} "]"] @var{TARGET} @var{COMMAND} [@var{ARG}]
@var{COMMANDS}      ::= @var{COMMAND} [,@var{COMMANDS}]
@var{INTERVAL}      ::= @var{START}[-@var{END}] @var{COMMANDS}
@var{INTERVALS}     ::= @var{INTERVAL}[;@var{INTERVALS}]
@end example

@subsection Examples

         [leave] drawtext reinit 'fontfile=FreeSerif.ttf:text=';

# desaturate the image in the interval 15-20
15.0-20.0 [enter] hue s 0,
          [enter] drawtext reinit 'fontfile=FreeSerif.ttf:text=nocolor',
          [leave] hue s 1,

# apply an exponential saturation fade-out effect, starting from time 25
25 [enter] hue s exp(25-t)
@end example

A filtergraph allowing to read and process the above command list

Force color range for the output video frame.

The @code{setrange} filter marks the color range property for the
output frames. It does not change the input frame, but only sets the
corresponding property, which affects how the frame is treated by
following filters.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option

@item range
Available values are:

@table @samp
@item auto
Keep the same color range property.

@item unspecified, unknown
Set the color range as unspecified.

@item limited, tv, mpeg
Set the color range as limited.

@item full, pc, jpeg

@end table
@end table

@section settb, asettb

Set the timebase to use for the output frames timestamps.
It is mainly useful for testing timebase configuration.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option

@item expr, tb
The expression which is evaluated into the output timebase.

@end table

The value for @option{tb} is an arithmetic expression representing a
rational. The expression can contain the constants "AVTB" (the default
timebase), "intb" (the input timebase) and "sr" (the sample rate,
audio only). Default value is "intb".

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Set the timebase to 1/25:
@example
settb=expr=1/25
@end example

@item
Set the timebase to 1/10:

@end example
@end itemize

@section sidedata, asidedata

Delete frame side data, or select frames based on it.

This filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item mode
Set mode of operation of the filter.

Can be one of the following:

@table @samp
@item select
Select every frame with side data of @code{type}.

@item delete
Delete side data of @code{type}. If @code{type} is not set, delete all side
data in the frame.

@end table

@item type
Set side data type used with all modes. Must be set for @code{select} mode. For
the list of frame side data types, refer to the @code{AVFrameSideDataType} enum
in @file{libavutil/frame.h}. For example, to choose
@code{AV_FRAME_DATA_PANSCAN} side data, you must specify @code{PANSCAN}.

@end table

@section 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 @ref{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 (@code{channel} color mode in
@ref{showspectrum} filter) and @code{log} scale for magnitude video and
@code{lin} scale for phase video. To produce phase, for 2nd video, use
@code{data} option. Inputs videos should generally use @code{fullframe}
slide mode as that saves resources needed for decoding video.

The filter accepts the following options:

@table @option
@item sample_rate
Specify sample rate of output audio, the sample rate of audio from which
spectrum was generated may differ.

@item channels
Set number of channels represented in input video spectrums.

@item scale
Set scale which was used when generating magnitude input spectrum.
Can be @code{lin} or @code{log}. Default is @code{log}.

@item slide
Set slide which was used when generating inputs spectrums.
Can be @code{replace}, @code{scroll}, @code{fullframe} or @code{rscroll}.
Default is @code{fullframe}.

@item win_func
Set window function used for resynthesis.

@item overlap
Set window overlap. In range @code{[0, 1]}. Default is @code{1},
which means optimal overlap for selected window function will be picked.

@item orientation
Set orientation of input videos. Can be @code{vertical} or @code{horizontal}.
Default is @code{vertical}.
@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
First create magnitude and phase videos from audio, assuming audio is stereo with 44100 sample rate,
then resynthesize videos back to audio with spectrumsynth:
@example
ffmpeg -i input.flac -lavfi showspectrum=mode=separate:scale=log:overlap=0.875:color=channel:slide=fullframe:data=magnitude -an -c:v rawvideo magnitude.nut
ffmpeg -i input.flac -lavfi showspectrum=mode=separate:scale=lin:overlap=0.875:color=channel:slide=fullframe:data=phase -an -c:v rawvideo phase.nut
ffmpeg -i magnitude.nut -i phase.nut -lavfi spectrumsynth=channels=2:sample_rate=44100:win_func=hann:overlap=0.875:slide=fullframe output.flac
@end example
@end itemize

@section split, asplit

Split input into several identical outputs.

@code{asplit} works with audio input, @code{split} with video.

The filter accepts a single parameter which specifies the number of outputs. If
unspecified, it defaults to 2.

@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Create two separate outputs from the same input:
@example
[in] split [out0][out1]
@end example

@item
To create 3 or more outputs, you need to specify the number of
outputs, like in:
@example
[in] asplit=3 [out0][out1][out2]
@end example

@item
Create two separate outputs from the same input, one cropped and
one padded:
@example
[in] split [splitout1][splitout2];
[splitout1] crop=100:100:0:0    [cropout];
[splitout2] pad=200:200:100:100 [padout];
@end example

@item
Create 5 copies of the input audio with @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -filter_complex asplit=5 OUTPUT
@end example
@end itemize

@section zmq, azmq

Receive commands sent through a libzmq client, and forward them to
filters in the filtergraph.

@code{zmq} and @code{azmq} work as a pass-through filters. @code{zmq}
must be inserted between two video filters, @code{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 @code{--enable-libzmq}.

For more information about libzmq see:
@url{http://www.zeromq.org/}

The @code{zmq} and @code{azmq} filters work as a libzmq server, which
receives messages sent through a network interface defined by the
@option{bind_address} (or the abbreviation "@option{b}") option.
Default value of this option is @file{tcp://localhost:5555}. You may
want to alter this value to your needs, but do not forget to escape any
':' signs (see @ref{filtergraph escaping}).

The received message must be in the form:
@example
@var{TARGET} @var{COMMAND} [@var{ARG}]
@end example

@var{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 @samp{Parsed_<filter_name>_<index>},
but you can override this by using the @samp{filter_name@@id} syntax
(see @ref{Filtergraph syntax}).

@var{COMMAND} specifies the name of the command for the target filter.

@var{ARG} is optional and specifies the optional argument list for the
given @var{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:
@example
@var{ERROR_CODE} @var{ERROR_REASON}
@var{MESSAGE}
@end example

@var{MESSAGE} is optional.

@subsection Examples

Look at @file{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 @command{ffplay}.
In this example the last overlay filter has an instance name. All other
filters will have default instance names.

@example
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 "
@end example

To change the color of the left side of the video, the following
command can be used:
@example
echo Parsed_color_0 c yellow | tools/zmqsend
@end example

To change the right side:
@example
echo Parsed_color_1 c pink | tools/zmqsend
@end example

To change the position of the right side:
@example
echo overlay@@my x 150 | tools/zmqsend
@end example


@c man end MULTIMEDIA FILTERS

@chapter Multimedia Sources
@c man begin MULTIMEDIA SOURCES

Below is a description of the currently available multimedia sources.

@section amovie

This is the same as @ref{movie} source, except it selects an audio
stream by default.

@anchor{movie}
@section movie

Read audio and/or video stream(s) from a movie container.

It accepts the following parameters:

@table @option
@item filename
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 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 @var{movie_name} or by probing.

@item seek_point, sp
Specifies the seek point in seconds. The frames will be output
starting from this seek point. The parameter is evaluated with
@code{av_strtod}, so the numerical value may be suffixed by an IS
postfix. The default value is "0".

@item 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 @ref{Stream specifiers,,"Stream specifiers"
section in the ffmpeg manual,ffmpeg}. 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 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 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 discontinuity
Specifies the time difference between frames above which the point is
considered a timestamp discontinuity which is removed by adjusting the later
timestamps.
@end table

It allows overlaying a second video on top of the main input of
a filtergraph, as shown in this graph:
@example
input -----------> deltapts0 --> overlay --> output
                                    ^
                                    |
movie --> scale--> deltapts1 -------+
@end example
@subsection Examples

@itemize
@item
Skip 3.2 seconds from the start of the AVI file in.avi, and overlay it
on top of the input labelled "in":
@example
movie=in.avi:seek_point=3.2, scale=180:-1, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [over];
[in] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [main];
[main][over] overlay=16:16 [out]
@end example

@item
Read from a video4linux2 device, and overlay it on top of the input
labelled "in":
@example
movie=/dev/video0:f=video4linux2, scale=180:-1, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [over];
[in] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [main];
[main][over] overlay=16:16 [out]
@end example

@item
Read the first video stream and the audio stream with id 0x81 from
dvd.vob; the video is connected to the pad named "video" and the audio is
connected to the pad named "audio":
@example
movie=dvd.vob:s=v:0+#0x81 [video] [audio]
@end example
@end itemize

@subsection Commands

Both movie and amovie support the following commands:
@table @option
@item seek
Perform seek using "av_seek_frame".
The syntax is: seek @var{stream_index}|@var{timestamp}|@var{flags}
@itemize
@item
@var{stream_index}: If stream_index is -1, a default
stream is selected, and @var{timestamp} is automatically converted
from AV_TIME_BASE units to the stream specific time_base.
@item
@var{timestamp}: Timestamp in AVStream.time_base units
or, if no stream is specified, in AV_TIME_BASE units.
@item
@var{flags}: Flags which select direction and seeking mode.
@end itemize

@item get_duration
Get movie duration in AV_TIME_BASE units.
