+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
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.
The list of the currently supported filters follows:
@table @var
-@item eq2
-@item eq
-@item softpulldown
@end table
The parameter syntax and behavior for the listed filters are the same
of the corresponding MPlayer filters. For detailed instructions check
the "VIDEO FILTERS" section in the MPlayer manual.
