@section Filtergraph syntax
-A filtergraph can be represented using a textual representation, which
-is recognized by the @code{-vf} and @code{-af} options of the ff*
-tools, and by the @code{av_parse_graph()} function defined in
-@file{libavfilter/avfiltergraph}.
+A filtergraph can be represented using a textual representation, which is
+recognized by the @option{-filter}/@option{-vf} and @option{-filter_complex}
+options in @command{avconv} and @option{-vf} in @command{avplay}, and by the
+@code{avfilter_graph_parse()}/@code{avfilter_graph_parse2()} function defined in
+@file{libavfilter/avfiltergraph.h}.
A filterchain consists of a sequence of connected filters, each one
connected to the previous one in the sequence. A filterchain is
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 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.
+
Follows a BNF description for the filtergraph syntax:
@example
@var{NAME} ::= sequence of alphanumeric characters and '_'
@var{FILTER_ARGUMENTS} ::= sequence of chars (eventually quoted)
@var{FILTER} ::= [@var{LINKNAMES}] @var{NAME} ["=" @var{ARGUMENTS}] [@var{LINKNAMES}]
@var{FILTERCHAIN} ::= @var{FILTER} [,@var{FILTERCHAIN}]
-@var{FILTERGRAPH} ::= @var{FILTERCHAIN} [;@var{FILTERGRAPH}]
+@var{FILTERGRAPH} ::= [sws_flags=@var{flags};] @var{FILTERCHAIN} [;@var{FILTERGRAPH}]

@c man end FILTERGRAPH DESCRIPTION
Below is a description of the currently available audio filters.
+@section aformat
+
+Convert the input audio to one of the specified formats. The framework will
+negotiate the most appropriate format to minimize conversions.
+
+The filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+
+@item sample_fmts
+A comma-separated list of requested sample formats.
+
+@item sample_rates
+A comma-separated list of requested sample rates.
+
+@item channel_layouts
+A comma-separated list of requested channel layouts.
+
+@end table
+
+If a parameter is omitted, all values are allowed.
+
+For example to force the output to either unsigned 8-bit or signed 16-bit stereo:
+@example
+aformat=sample_fmts\=u8\,s16:channel_layouts\=stereo
+@end example
+
+@section amix
+
+Mixes multiple audio inputs into a single output.
+
+For example
+@example
+avconv -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.
+
+The filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+
+@item inputs
+Number of inputs. If unspecified, it defaults to 2.
+
+@item duration
+How to determine the end-of-stream.
+@table @option
+
+@item longest
+Duration of longest input. (default)
+
+@item shortest
+Duration of shortest input.
+
+@item first
+Duration of first input.
+
+@end table
+
+@item dropout_transition
+Transition time, in seconds, for volume renormalization when an input
+stream ends. The default value is 2 seconds.
+
+@end table
+
@section anull
Pass the audio source unchanged to the output.
+@section ashowinfo
+
+Show a line containing various information for each input audio frame.
+The input audio is not modified.
+
+The shown line contains a sequence of key/value pairs of the form
+@var{key}:@var{value}.
+
+A description of each shown parameter follows:
+
+@table @option
+@item n
+sequential number of the input frame, starting from 0
+
+@item pts
+Presentation timestamp of the input frame, in time base units; the time base
+depends on the filter input pad, and is usually 1/@var{sample_rate}.
+
+@item pts_time
+presentation timestamp of the input frame in seconds
+
+@item fmt
+sample format
+
+@item chlayout
+channel layout
+
+@item rate
+sample rate for the audio frame
+
+@item nb_samples
+number of samples (per channel) in the frame
+
+@item checksum
+Adler-32 checksum (printed in hexadecimal) of the audio data. For planar audio
+the data is treated as if all the planes were concatenated.
+
+@item plane_checksums
+A list of Adler-32 checksums for each data plane.
+@end table
+
+@section asplit
+
+Split input audio into several identical outputs.
+
+The filter accepts a single parameter which specifies the number of outputs. If
+unspecified, it defaults to 2.
+
+For example
+@example
+avconv -i INPUT -filter_complex asplit=5 OUTPUT
+@end example
+will create 5 copies of the input audio.
+
+@section asyncts
+Synchronize audio data with timestamps by squeezing/stretching it and/or
+dropping samples/adding silence when needed.
+
+The filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+
+@item compensate
+Enable stretching/squeezing the data to make it match the timestamps. Disabled
+by default. When disabled, time gaps are covered with silence.
+
+@item min_delta
+Minimum difference between timestamps and audio data (in seconds) to trigger
+adding/dropping samples. Default value is 0.1. If you get non-perfect sync with
+this filter, try setting this parameter to 0.
+
+@item max_comp
+Maximum compensation in samples per second. Relevant only with compensate=1.
+Default value 500.
+
+@item first_pts
+Assume the first pts should be this value. The time base is 1 / sample rate.
+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
+silence if an audio stream starts after the video stream or to trim any samples
+with a negative pts due to encoder delay.
+
+@end table
+
+@section channelsplit
+Split each channel in input audio stream into a separate output stream.
+
+This filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+@item channel_layout
+Channel layout of the input stream. Default is "stereo".
+@end table
+
+For example, assuming a stereo input MP3 file
+@example
+avconv -i in.mp3 -filter_complex channelsplit out.mkv
+@end example
+will create an output Matroska file with two audio streams, one containing only
+the left channel and the other the right channel.
+
+To split a 5.1 WAV file into per-channel files
+@example
+avconv -i in.wav -filter_complex
+'channelsplit=channel_layout=5.1[FL][FR][FC][LFE][SL][SR]'
+-map '[FL]' front_left.wav -map '[FR]' front_right.wav -map '[FC]'
+front_center.wav -map '[LFE]' lfe.wav -map '[SL]' side_left.wav -map '[SR]'
+side_right.wav
+@end example
+
+@section channelmap
+Remap input channels to new locations.
+
+This filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+@item channel_layout
+Channel layout of the output stream.
+
+@item map
+Map channels from input to output. The argument is a comma-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.
+@end table
+
+If no mapping is present, the filter will implicitly map input channels to
+output channels preserving index.
+
+For example, assuming a 5.1+downmix input MOV file
+@example
+avconv -i in.mov -filter 'channelmap=map=DL-FL\,DR-FR' out.wav
+@end example
+will create an output WAV file tagged as stereo from the downmix channels of
+the input.
+
+To fix a 5.1 WAV improperly encoded in AAC's native channel order
+@example
+avconv -i in.wav -filter 'channelmap=1\,2\,0\,5\,3\,4:channel_layout=5.1' out.wav
+@end example
+
+@section join
+Join multiple input streams into one multi-channel stream.
+
+The filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+
+@item inputs
+Number of input streams. Defaults to 2.
+
+@item channel_layout
+Desired output channel layout. Defaults to stereo.
+
+@item map
+Map channels from inputs to output. The argument is a comma-separated list of
+mappings, each in the @code{@var{input_idx}.@var{in_channel}-@var{out_channel}}
+form. @var{input_idx} is the 0-based index of the input stream. @var{in_channel}
+can be either the name of the input channel (e.g. FL for front left) or its
+index in the specified input stream. @var{out_channel} is the name of the output
+channel.
+@end table
+
+The filter will attempt to guess the mappings when those are not specified
+explicitly. It does so by first trying to find an unused matching input channel
+and if that fails it picks the first unused input channel.
+
+E.g. to join 3 inputs (with properly set channel layouts)
+@example
+avconv -i INPUT1 -i INPUT2 -i INPUT3 -filter_complex join=inputs=3 OUTPUT
+@end example
+
+To build a 5.1 output from 6 single-channel streams:
+@example
+avconv -i fl -i fr -i fc -i sl -i sr -i lfe -filter_complex
+'join=inputs=6:channel_layout=5.1:map=0.0-FL\,1.0-FR\,2.0-FC\,3.0-SL\,4.0-SR\,5.0-LFE'
+out
+@end example
+
+@section resample
+Convert the audio sample format, sample rate and channel layout. This filter is
+not meant to be used directly, it is inserted automatically by libavfilter
+whenever conversion is needed. Use the @var{aformat} filter to force a specific
+conversion.
+
+@section volume
+
+Adjust the input audio volume.
+
+The filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+
+@item volume
+Expresses how the audio volume will be increased or decreased.
+
+Output values are clipped to the maximum value.
+
+The output audio volume is given by the relation:
+@example
+@var{output_volume} = @var{volume} * @var{input_volume}
+@end example
+
+Default value for @var{volume} is 1.0.
+
+@item precision
+Mathematical precision.
+
+This determines which input sample formats will be allowed, which affects the
+precision of the volume scaling.
+
+@table @option
+@item fixed
+8-bit fixed-point; limits input sample format to U8, S16, and S32.
+@item float
+32-bit floating-point; limits input sample format to FLT. (default)
+@item double
+64-bit floating-point; limits input sample format to DBL.
+@end table
+@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
+
+@item
+Increase input audio power by 6 decibels using fixed-point precision:

+
+This filter accepts the parameters:
+@var{luma_power}:@var{luma_radius}:@var{chroma_radius}:@var{chroma_power}:@var{alpha_radius}:@var{alpha_power}
+
+Chroma and alpha parameters are optional, if not specified they default
+to the corresponding values set for @var{luma_radius} and
+@var{luma_power}.
+
+@var{luma_radius}, @var{chroma_radius}, and @var{alpha_radius} represent

+the input width and height in pixels
+
+@item cw, ch
+the input chroma image width and height in pixels
+
+@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
+
+The radius 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.
+
+@var{luma_power}, @var{chroma_power}, and @var{alpha_power} represent
+how many times the boxblur filter is applied to the corresponding
+plane.
+
+Some examples follow:
+

+(and sometimes something even uglier appear - your mileage may vary).
+
+The filter accepts parameters as a string of the form
+"@var{x}:@var{y}:@var{w}:@var{h}:@var{band}", or as a list of
+@var{key}=@var{value} pairs, separated by ":".

+
+@item band, t
+Specify the thickness of the fuzzy edge of the rectangle (added to
+@var{w} and @var{h}). The default value is 4.
+
+@item show
+When set to 1, a green rectangle is drawn on the screen to simplify
+finding the right @var{x}, @var{y}, @var{w}, @var{h} parameters, and
+@var{band} is set to 4. The default value is 0.
+
+@end table

+
@section fade
Apply fade-in/out effect to input video.
fade=in:5:20
@end example
+@section fieldorder
+
+Transform the field order of the input video.
+
+It accepts one parameter which specifies the required field order that
+the input interlaced video will be transformed to. The parameter can
+assume one of the following values:
+
+@table @option
+@item 0 or bff
+output bottom field first
+@item 1 or tff
+output top field first
+@end table
+
+Default value is "tff".
+
+Transformation is achieved 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.
+
+This filter is very useful when converting to or from PAL DV material,
+which is bottom field first.
+
+For example:
+@example
+./avconv -i in.vob -vf "fieldorder=bff" out.dv
+@end example
+
@section fifo
Buffer input images and send them when they are requested.
format=yuv420p:yuv444p:yuv410p
@end example
+@section fps
+
+Convert the video to specified constant framerate by duplicating or dropping
+frames as necessary.
+
+This filter accepts the following named parameters:
+@table @option
+
+@item fps
+Desired output framerate.
+
+@end table
+
@anchor{frei0r}
@section frei0r
Interpolate the gradients that should go where the bands are, and
dither them.
+This filter 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.
+
The filter takes two optional parameters, separated by ':':
@var{strength}:@var{radius}
Flip the input video horizontally.
-For example to horizontally flip the video in input with
-@file{ffmpeg}:

@end table
-@section noformat
+@section lut, lutrgb, lutyuv
+
+Compute a look-up table for binding each pixel component input value
+to an output value, and apply it to input video.
+
+@var{lutyuv} applies a lookup table to a YUV input video, @var{lutrgb}
+to an RGB input video.
+
+These filters accept in input a ":"-separated list of options, which
+specify the expressions used for computing the lookup table for the
+corresponding pixel component values.
+
+The @var{lut} filter requires either YUV or RGB pixel formats in
+input, and accepts the options:
+@table @option
+@item @var{c0} (first pixel component)
+@item @var{c1} (second pixel component)
+@item @var{c2} (third pixel component)
+@item @var{c3} (fourth pixel component, corresponds to the alpha component)
+@end table
+
+The exact component associated to each option depends on the format in
+input.
+
+The @var{lutrgb} filter requires RGB pixel formats in input, and
+accepts the options:
+@table @option
