addroi(
    *,
    x: String = Default("0"),
    y: String = Default("0"),
    w: String = Default("0"),
    h: String = Default("0"),
    qoffset: Rational = Default("-1/10"),
    clear: Boolean = Default("false"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
x String

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

Default('0')
y String

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

Default('0')
w String

Region width in pixels.

Default('0')
h String

Region height in pixels. The parameters x, y, w and h are expressions, and may contain the following variables: @end table

Default('0')
qoffset Rational

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.

Default('-1/10')
clear Boolean

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

blackdetect

blackdetect(
    *,
    d: Double = Default("2"),
    picture_black_ratio_th: Double = Default("0.98"),
    pixel_black_th: Double = Default("0.1"),
    alpha: Boolean = Default("false"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
d Double

Set the minimum detected black duration expressed in seconds. It must be a non-negative floating point number. Default value is 2.0.

Default('2')
picture_black_ratio_th Double

Set the threshold for considering a picture "black". Express the minimum value for the ratio: @example nb_black_pixels / nb_pixels @end example for which a picture is considered black. Default value is 0.98.

Default('0.98')
pixel_black_th Double

Set the threshold for considering a pixel "black". The threshold expresses the maximum pixel luma value for which a pixel is considered "black". The provided value is scaled according to the following equation: @example absolute_threshold = luma_minimum_value + pixel_black_th * luma_range_size @end example luma_range_size and luma_minimum_value depend on the input video format, the range is [0-255] for YUV full-range formats and [16-235] for YUV non full-range formats. Default value is 0.10.

Default('0.1')
alpha Boolean

If true, check the alpha channel instead of the luma channel. Detects frames which are (almost) transparent, instead of frames which are almost black. Default value is disabled.

Default('false')

blackframe(
    *,
    amount: Int = Default("98"),
    threshold: Int = Default("32"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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 lavfi.blackframe.pblack. The value represents the percentage of pixels in the picture that are below the threshold value.

It accepts the following parameters:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default

) -> VideoStream

Blend two video frames into each other.

The blend filter takes two input streams and outputs one stream, the first input is the "top" layer and second input is "bottom" layer. By default, the output terminates when the longest input terminates.

The tblend (time blend) filter takes two consecutive frames from one single stream, and outputs the result obtained by blending the new frame on top of the old frame.

A description of the accepted options follows.

The high threshold selects the "strong" edge pixels, which are then connected through 8-connectivity with the "weak" edge pixels selected by the low threshold. low and high threshold values must be chosen in the range [0,1], and low should be lesser or equal to high. Default value for low is 20/255, and default value for high is 50/255.

Default('0.117647')
low Float

set low threshold (from 0 to 1) (default 0.0588235)

Default('0.0588235')
radius Int

Define the radius to search around an edge pixel for local maxima.

Default('50')
block_pct Int

Determine blurriness only for the most significant blocks, given in percentage.

Default('80')
block_width Int

Determine blurriness for blocks of width block_width. If set to any value smaller 1, no blocks are used and the whole image is processed as one no matter of block_height.

Default('-1')
planes Int

Set planes to filter. Default is first only.

) -> VideoStream

RGB colorspace color keying. This filter operates on 8-bit RGB format frames by setting the alpha component of each pixel which falls within the similarity radius of the key color to 0. The alpha value for pixels outside the similarity radius depends on the value of the blend option.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
color Color

Set the color for which alpha will be set to 0 (full transparency). See "Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual. Default is black.

Default('black')
similarity Float

Set the radius from the key color within which other colors also have full transparency. The computed distance is related to the unit fractional distance in 3D space between the RGB values of the key color and the pixel's color. Range is 0.01 to 1.0. 0.01 matches within a very small radius around the exact key color, while 1.0 matches everything. Default is 0.01.

Default('0.01')
blend Float

Set how the alpha value for pixels that fall outside the similarity radius is computed. 0.0 makes pixels either fully transparent or fully opaque. Higher values result in semi-transparent pixels, with greater transparency the more similar the pixel color is to the key color. Range is 0.0 to 1.0. Default is 0.0.

) -> VideoStream

Obtain the correlation between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

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

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

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

This filter also supports the framesync options.

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

@example ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi corr -f null - @end example

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.

Default('16')
reset Int

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.

Default('0')
skip Int

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

Default('2')
reset_count Int

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.

Default('0')
max_outliers Int

Threshold count of outliers (from 0 to INT_MAX) (default 0)

Default('0')
mode Int | Literal['black', 'mvedges'] | Default

Depending on mode crop detection is based on either the mere black value of surrounding pixels or a combination of motion vectors and edge pixels. @end table

Default('black')
high Float

Set low and high threshold values used by the Canny thresholding algorithm. The high threshold selects the "strong" edge pixels, which are then connected through 8-connectivity with the "weak" edge pixels selected by the low threshold. low and high threshold values must be chosen in the range [0,1], and low should be lesser or equal to high. Default value for low is 5/255, and default value for high is 15/255.

Default('0.0980392')
low Float

Set low threshold for edge detection (from 0 to 1) (default 0.0588235)

cue

cue(

    preroll: Duration = Default("0"),
    buffer: Duration = Default("0"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
cue Int64

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

Default('0')
preroll Duration

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

) -> VideoStream

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 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 (0;0) and (1;1). This creates a straight line where each original pixel value is "adjusted" to its own value, which means no change to the image.

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

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
preset Int | Literal['none', 'color_negative', 'cross_process', 'darker', 'increase_contrast', 'lighter', 'linear_contrast', 'medium_contrast', 'negative', 'strong_contrast', 'vintage'] | Default

) -> VideoStream

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

This filter is not designed for real time.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
sigma Float

Set the noise sigma constant. This sigma defines a hard threshold of 3 * sigma; every DCT coefficient (absolute value) below this threshold with be dropped. If you need a more advanced filtering, see expr. Default is 0.

Default('0')
overlap Int

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 blocksize-1, which is the best possible setting.

Default('-1')
expr String

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 sigma option will be ignored. The absolute value of the coefficient can be accessed through the c variable.

Default(None)
n Int

Set the blocksize using the number of bits. 1<<n defines the blocksize, which is the width and height of the processed blocks. The default value is 3 (8x8) and can be raised to 4 for a 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.

Default('0.02')
range Int

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.

Default('16')
direction Float

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.

Default('6.28319')
blur Boolean

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.

Default('true')

) -> VideoStream

Attempt to fix small changes in horizontal and/or vertical shift. This filter helps remove camera shake from hand-holding a camera, bumping a tripod, moving on a vehicle, etc.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
x Int

set x for the rectangular search area (from -1 to INT_MAX) (default -1)

Default('-1')
y Int

set y for the rectangular search area (from -1 to INT_MAX) (default -1)

Default('-1')
w Int

set width for the rectangular search area (from -1 to INT_MAX) (default -1)

Default('-1')
h Int

Specify a rectangular area where to limit the search for motion vectors. If desired the search for motion vectors can be limited to a rectangular area of the frame defined by its top left corner, width and height. These parameters have the same meaning as the drawbox filter which can be used to visualise the position of the bounding box. This is useful when simultaneous movement of subjects within the frame might be confused for camera motion by the motion vector search. If any or all of x, y, w and h are set to -1 then the full frame is used. This allows later options to be set without specifying the bounding box for the motion vector search. Default - search the whole frame.

Default('-1')
rx Int

set x for the rectangular search area (from 0 to 64) (default 16)

Default('16')
ry Int

Specify the maximum extent of movement in x and y directions in the range 0-64 pixels. Default 16.

Default('16')
edge Int | Literal['blank', 'original', 'clamp', 'mirror'] | Default

Specify how to generate pixels to fill blanks at the edge of the frame. Available values are: @end table Default value is mirror.

Default('mirror')
blocksize Int

Specify the blocksize to use for motion search. Range 4-128 pixels, default 8.

Default('8')
contrast Int

Specify the contrast threshold for blocks. Only blocks with more than the specified contrast (difference between darkest and lightest pixels) will be considered. Range 1-255, default 125.

Default('125')
search Int | Literal['exhaustive', 'less'] | Default

Specify the search strategy. Available values are: @end table Default value is exhaustive.

Default('exhaustive')
filename String

If set then a detailed log of the motion search is written to the specified file.

Default(None)
opencl Boolean

ignored (default false)

Default('false')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Extra options for the filter

None

Returns:

Name Type Description
default VideoStream

    tripod: Boolean = Default("false"),
    debug: Boolean = Default("false"),
    adaptive_crop: Boolean = Default("true"),

    smooth_strength: Float = Default("0"),
    smooth_window_multiplier: Float = Default("2"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Feature-point based video stabilization filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
tripod Boolean

Simulates a tripod by preventing any camera movement whatsoever from the original frame. Defaults to 0.

Default('false')
debug Boolean

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 -v verbose to ffmpeg. Viewing point matches in the output video is only supported for RGB input. Defaults to 0.

Default('false')
adaptive_crop Boolean

Whether or not to do a tiny bit of cropping at the borders to cut down on the amount of mirrored pixels. Defaults to 1.

Default('true')
refine_features Boolean

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 1.

Default('true')
smooth_strength Float

The strength of the smoothing applied to the camera path from 0.0 to 1.0. 1.0 is the maximum smoothing strength while values less than that result in less smoothing. 0.0 causes the filter to adaptively choose a smoothing strength on a per-frame basis. Defaults to 0.0.

Default('0')
smooth_window_multiplier Float

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 0.1 to 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 2.0.

Default('2')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

    timeline_options: FFMpegTimelineOption | None = None,
    enable: str | None = None,
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Displace pixels as indicated by second and third input stream.

It takes three input streams and outputs one stream, the first input is the source, and second and third input are displacement maps.

The second input specifies how much to displace pixels along the x-axis, while the third input specifies how much to displace pixels along the y-axis. If one of displacement map streams terminates, last frame from that displacement map will be used.

Note that once generated, displacements maps can be reused over and over again.

A description of the accepted options follows.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
edge Int | Literal['blank', 'smear', 'wrap', 'mirror'] | Default

Set displace behavior for pixels that are out of range. Available values are: @end table Default is smear.

) -> VideoStream

Draw a text string or text from a specified file on top of a video, using the libfreetype library.

To enable compilation of this filter, you need to configure FFmpeg with --enable-libfreetype and --enable-libharfbuzz. To enable default font fallback and the font option you need to configure FFmpeg with --enable-libfontconfig. To enable the text_shaping option, you need to configure FFmpeg with --enable-libfribidi.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
fontfile String

The font file to be used for drawing text. The path must be included. This parameter is mandatory if the fontconfig support is disabled.

Default(None)
text String

The text string to be drawn. The text must be a sequence of UTF-8 encoded characters. This parameter is mandatory if no file is specified with the parameter textfile.

Default(None)
textfile String

A text file containing text to be drawn. The text must be a sequence of UTF-8 encoded characters. This parameter is mandatory if no text string is specified with the parameter text. If both text and textfile are specified, an error is thrown.

Default(None)
fontcolor Color

The color to be used for drawing fonts. For the syntax of this option, check the "Color" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual. The default value of fontcolor is "black".

    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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 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 lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_duration and lavfi.freezedetect.freeze_end metadata keys are set on the first frame after the freeze.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
n Double

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.

) -> VideoStream

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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
quality Int

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

Default('4')
qp Int

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).

Default('0')
strength Int

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 0 − PSNR optimal.

Default('0')
use_bframe_qp Boolean

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

Default('false')

fsync

fsync(
    *,
    file: String = Default(""),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Synchronize video frames with an external mapping from a file.

For each input PTS given in the map file it either drops or creates as many frames as necessary to recreate the sequence of output frames given in the map file.

This filter is useful to recreate the output frames of a framerate conversion by the fps filter, recorded into a map file using the ffmpeg option -stats_mux_pre, and do further processing to the corresponding frames e.g. quality comparison.

Each line of the map file must contain three items per input frame, the input PTS (decimal), the output PTS (decimal) and the output TIMEBASE (decimal/decimal), separated by a space. This file format corresponds to the output of @code{-stats_mux_pre_fmt="@{ptsi@} @{pts@} @{tb@}"}.

The filter assumes the map file is sorted by increasing input PTS.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
file String

The filename of the map file to be used.

Default('')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Extra options for the filter

None

Returns:

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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
strength Float

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.

Default('1.2')
radius Int

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.

Default('16')

) -> VideoStream

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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
strength Float

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.

Default('0.2')
intensity Float

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.

Default('0.21')
antibanding Int | Literal['none', 'weak', 'strong'] | Default

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 none, weak or strong. It defaults to none.

Default('none')
timeline_options FFMpegTimelineOption | None

Default(None)
reverse Int

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.

hwupload

hwupload(
    *,
    derive_device: String = Default(None),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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 -filter_hw_device option or with the 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:

) -> VideoStream

Obtain the identity score between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

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

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

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

This filter also supports the framesync options.

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

@example ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi identity -f null - @end example

Parameters:

    analyze_interlaced_flag: Int = Default("0"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
intl_thres Float

Set interlacing threshold.

Default('1.04')
prog_thres Float

Set progressive threshold.

Default('1.5')
rep_thres Float

Threshold for repeated field detection.

Default('3')
half_life Float

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.

Default('0')
analyze_interlaced_flag Int

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

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:

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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
cx Double

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.

Default('0.5')
cy Double

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.

Default('0.5')
k1 Double

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

Default('0')
k2 Double

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

Default('0')
i Int | Literal['nearest', 'bilinear'] | Default

Set interpolation type. Can be nearest or bilinear. Default is nearest.

This filter allows to apply main morphological grayscale transforms, erode and dilate with arbitrary structures set in second input stream.

Unlike naive implementation and much slower performance in erosion and dilation filters, when speed is critical morpho filter should be used instead.

A description of accepted options follows,

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
mode Int | Literal['erode', 'dilate', 'open', 'close', 'gradient', 'tophat', 'blackhat'] | Default

Set morphological transform to apply, can be: @end table Default is erode.

Default('erode')
planes Int

Set planes to filter, by default all planes except alpha are filtered.

Default('7')
structure Int | Literal['first', 'all'] | Default

Set which structure video frames will be processed from second input stream, can be first or all. Default is all.

Default('all')

mpdecimate

mpdecimate(
    *,
    max: Int = Default("0"),
    keep: Int = Default("0"),
    hi: Int = Default("768"),
    lo: Int = Default("320"),
    frac: Float = Default("0.33"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
max Int

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.

Default('0')
keep Int

Set the maximum number of consecutive similar frames to ignore before to start dropping them. If the value is 0, the frame is dropped disregarding the number of previous sequentially similar frames. Default value is 0.

Default('0')
hi Int

set high dropping threshold (from INT_MIN to INT_MAX) (default 768)

Default('768')
lo Int

set low dropping threshold (from INT_MIN to INT_MAX) (default 320)

Default('320')
frac Float

Set the dropping threshold values. Values for hi and 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 hi, and if no more than frac blocks (1 meaning the whole image) differ by more than a threshold of lo. Default value for hi is 6412, default value for lo is 645, and default value for frac is 0.33.

Default('0.33')

) -> VideoStream

Obtain the MSAD (Mean Sum of Absolute Differences) between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

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

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

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

This filter also supports the framesync options.

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

@example ffmpeg -i main.mpg -i ref.mpg -lavfi msad -f null - @end example

Default('s32x4')
nns Int | Literal['n16', 'n32', 'n64', 'n128', 'n256'] | Default

Set the number of neurons in predictor neural network. Can be one of the following: @end table

Default('n32')
qual Int | Literal['fast', 'slow'] | Default

Controls the number of different neural network predictions that are blended together to compute the final output value. Can be fast, default or slow.

Default('fast')
etype Int | Literal['a', 'abs', 's', 'mse'] | Default

Set which set of weights to use in the predictor. Can be one of the following: @end table

Default('a')
pscrn Int | Literal['none', 'original', 'new', 'new2', 'new3'] | Default

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: @end table Default is new.

normalize

    *,
    blackpt: Color = Default("black"),
    whitept: Color = Default("white"),
    smoothing: Int = Default("0"),
    independence: Float = Default("1"),

    timeline_options: FFMpegTimelineOption | None = None,
    enable: str | None = None,
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
blackpt Color

output color to which darkest input color is mapped (default "black")

Default('black')
whitept Color

Colors which define the output range. The minimum input value is mapped to the blackpt. The maximum input value is mapped to the whitept. The defaults are black and white respectively. Specifying white for blackpt and black for 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.

Default('white')
smoothing Int

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 smoothing previous frames. The default is 0 (no temporal smoothing).

Default('0')
independence Float

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).

Default('1')
strength Float

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

Default('1')

    enable: str | None = None,
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
stats_file String

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.

Default(None)
stats_version Int

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

Default('1')
output_max Boolean

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.

pullup

pullup(
    *,
    jl: Int = Default("1"),
    jr: Int = Default("1"),
    jt: Int = Default("4"),
    jb: Int = Default("4"),
    sb: Boolean = Default("false"),

        "y"
    ),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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 fps=24000/1001 if the input frame rate is 29.97fps, fps=24 for 30fps and the (rare) telecined 25fps input.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
jl Int

set left junk size (from 0 to INT_MAX) (default 1)

Default('1')
jr Int

set right junk size (from 0 to INT_MAX) (default 1)

Default('1')
jt Int

set top junk size (from 1 to INT_MAX) (default 4)

Default('4')
jb Int

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.

Default('4')
sb Boolean

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 0.

Default('false')
mp Int | Literal['y', 'u', 'v'] | Default

Set the metric plane to use. It accepts the following values: @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 mp to a chroma plane is to reduce CPU load and make pullup usable in realtime on slow machines.

) -> VideoStream

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.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
w String

Output video width

Default(None)
h String

Set the output video dimension expression. The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option. If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current value.

Default(None)
flags String

Set libswscale scaling flags. See the ffmpeg-scaler manual for the complete list of values. If not explicitly specified the filter applies the default flags.

Default('')
interl Boolean

Set the interlacing mode. It accepts the following values: @end table Default value is 0.

Default('false')
size String

Set the video size. For the syntax of this option, check the "Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual.

Default(None)

Set in/output YCbCr color space type. This allows the autodetected value to be overridden as well as allows forcing a specific value used for the output and encoder. If not specified, the color space type depends on the pixel format. Possible values: @end table

Default('2')
in_range Int | Literal['auto', 'unknown', 'full', 'limited', 'jpeg', 'mpeg', 'tv', 'pc'] | Default

set input color range (from 0 to 2) (default auto)

Default('auto')
out_range Int | Literal['auto', 'unknown', 'full', 'limited', 'jpeg', 'mpeg', 'tv', 'pc'] | Default

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: @end table

Default('auto')
in_chroma_loc Int | Literal['auto', 'unknown', 'left', 'center', 'topleft', 'top', 'bottomleft', 'bottom'] | Default

set input chroma sample location (from 0 to 6) (default auto)

Default('auto')
out_chroma_loc Int | Literal['auto', 'unknown', 'left', 'center', 'topleft', 'top', 'bottomleft', 'bottom'] | Default

Set in/output chroma sample location. If not specified, center-sited chroma is used by default. Possible values: @end table

Default('auto')
in_primaries Int | Literal['auto', 'bt709', 'bt470m', 'bt470bg', 'smpte170m', 'smpte240m', 'film', 'bt2020', 'smpte428', 'smpte431', 'smpte432', 'jedec-p22', 'ebu3213'] | Default

set input primaries (from -1 to 22) (default auto)

Default('auto')
out_primaries Int | Literal['auto', 'bt709', 'bt470m', 'bt470bg', 'smpte170m', 'smpte240m', 'film', 'bt2020', 'smpte428', 'smpte431', 'smpte432', 'jedec-p22', 'ebu3213'] | Default

Set in/output RGB primaries. This allows the autodetected value to be overridden as well as allows forcing a specific value used for the output and encoder. Possible values: @end table

Default('auto')
in_transfer Int | Literal['auto', 'bt709', 'bt470m', 'gamma22', 'bt470bg', 'gamma28', 'smpte170m', 'smpte240m', 'linear', 'iec61966-2-1', 'srgb', 'iec61966-2-4', 'xvycc', 'bt1361e', 'bt2020-10', 'bt2020-12', 'smpte2084', 'smpte428', 'arib-std-b67'] | Default

set output color transfer (from -1 to 18) (default auto)

Default('auto')
in_v_chr_pos Int

input vertical chroma position in luma grid/256 (from -513 to 512) (default -513)

Default('-513')
in_h_chr_pos Int

input horizontal chroma position in luma grid/256 (from -513 to 512) (default -513)

Default('-513')
out_v_chr_pos Int

output vertical chroma position in luma grid/256 (from -513 to 512) (default -513)

Default('-513')
out_h_chr_pos Int

output horizontal chroma position in luma grid/256 (from -513 to 512) (default -513)

Default('-513')
force_original_aspect_ratio Int | Literal['disable', 'decrease', 'increase'] | Default

Enable decreasing or increasing output video width or height if necessary to keep the original aspect ratio. Possible values: @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 w or h, you still need to specify the output resolution for this option to work.

Default('disable')
force_divisible_by Int

Ensures that both the output dimensions, width and height, are divisible by the given integer when used together with force_original_aspect_ratio. This works similar to using -n in the w and h options. This option respects the value set for 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 force_original_aspect_ratio but also have encoder restrictions on width or height divisibility.

Default('1')
reset_sar Boolean

Enabling this option leads to the output SAR being reset to 1. Additionally, if the user requests proportional scaling either through the width or height expressions, e.g. w=-4:h=360 or w=iw/2:h=-1 or by enabling force_original_aspect_ratio, then the input DAR is taken into account and the output is scaled to produce square pixels. Default is false.

Default('false')
param0 Double

Set libswscale input parameters for scaling algorithms that need them. See the ffmpeg-scaler manual for the complete documentation. If not explicitly specified the filter applies empty parameters.

Default('DBL_MAX')
param1 Double

Set libswscale input parameters for scaling algorithms that need them. See the ffmpeg-scaler manual for the complete documentation. If not explicitly specified the filter applies empty parameters.

Default('DBL_MAX')
eval Int | Literal['init', 'frame'] | Default

Specify when to evaluate width and height expression. It accepts the following values: @end table Default value is init.

Default('init')
framesync_options FFMpegFrameSyncOption | None

Framesync options

None
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Extra options for the filter

None

Returns:

Name Type Description
default VideoStream

the video stream

    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Scale (resize) and convert (pixel format) the input video, using accelerated CUDA kernels. Setting the output width and height works in the same way as for the scale filter.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
w String

Output video width (default "iw")

Default('iw')
h String

Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input dimension. Allows for the same expressions as the scale filter.

Default('ih')
interp_algo Int | Literal['nearest', 'bilinear', 'bicubic', 'lanczos'] | Default

Sets the algorithm used for scaling: @end table

Default('0')
format Pix_fmt

Controls the output pixel format. By default, or if none is specified, the input pixel format is used. The filter does not support converting between YUV and RGB pixel formats.

Default('none')
passthrough Boolean

If set to 0, every frame is processed, even if no conversion is necessary. This mode can be useful to use the filter as a buffer for a downstream frame-consumer that exhausts the limited decoder frame pool. If set to 1, frames are passed through as-is if they match the desired output parameters. This is the default behaviour.

Default('true')
use_filters Int | Literal['auto'] | Default

If set to 1, filter with a generic weight LUT instead of using fixed-function shader kernels. May be faster or slower depending on the hardware. A value of auto (the default) enables this automatically when required for correct anti-aliasing when downscaling.

Default('auto')
param Float

Algorithm-Specific parameter. Affects the curves of the bicubic algorithm.

Default('999999')
force_original_aspect_ratio Int | Literal['disable', 'decrease', 'increase'] | Default

decrease or increase w/h if necessary to keep the original AR (from 0 to 2) (default disable)

Default('disable')
force_divisible_by Int

Work the same as the identical scale filter options.

Default('1')
reset_sar Boolean

Works the same as the identical scale filter option.

Default('false')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Extra options for the filter

None

Returns:

Name Type Description

setdar

setdar(
    *,
    dar: String = Default("0"),
    max: Int = Default("100"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

The 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 DAR = HORIZONTAL_RESOLUTION / VERTICAL_RESOLUTION * SAR @end example

Keep in mind that the 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 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 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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
dar String

The input display aspect ratio. It is the same as (w / h) * sar.

Default('0')
max Int

Set the maximum integer value to use for expressing numerator and denominator when reducing the expressed aspect ratio to a rational. Default value is 100.

) -> AudioStream

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 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 (channel color mode in showspectrum filter) and log scale for magnitude video and lin scale for phase video. To produce phase, for 2nd video, use data option. Inputs videos should generally use fullframe slide mode as that saves resources needed for decoding video.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
sample_rate Int

Specify sample rate of output audio, the sample rate of audio from which spectrum was generated may differ.

Default('44100')
channels Int

Set number of channels represented in input video spectrums.

Default('1')
scale Int | Literal['lin', 'log'] | Default

Set scale which was used when generating magnitude input spectrum. Can be lin or log. Default is log.

Default('log')
slide Int | Literal['replace', 'scroll', 'fullframe', 'rscroll'] | Default

Set slide which was used when generating inputs spectrums. Can be replace, scroll, fullframe or rscroll. Default is fullframe.

Default('fullframe')
win_func Int | Literal['rect', 'bartlett', 'hann', 'hanning', 'hamming', 'blackman', 'welch', 'flattop', 'bharris', 'bnuttall', 'bhann', 'sine', 'nuttall', 'lanczos', 'gauss', 'tukey', 'dolph', 'cauchy', 'parzen', 'poisson', 'bohman', 'kaiser'] | Default

Set window function used for resynthesis.

Default('rect')
overlap Float

Set window overlap. In range [0, 1]. Default is 1, which means optimal overlap for selected window function will be picked.

Default('1')
orientation Int | Literal['vertical', 'horizontal'] | Default

Set orientation of input videos. Can be vertical or horizontal. Default is vertical.

) -> VideoStream

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.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
stats_file String

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.

    ) = Default("auto"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with --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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
filename String

Set the filename of the subtitle file to read. It must be specified.

Default(None)
original_size Image_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 "Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual. Due to a misdesign in ASS aspect ratio arithmetic, this is necessary to correctly scale the fonts if the aspect ratio has been changed.

Default(None)
fontsdir String

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.

Default(None)
alpha Boolean

Process alpha channel, by default alpha channel is untouched.

Default('false')
charenc String

Set subtitles input character encoding. subtitles filter only. Only useful if not UTF-8.

Default(None)
stream_index Int

Set subtitles stream index. subtitles filter only.

Default('-1')
force_style String

Override default style or script info parameters of the subtitles. It accepts a string containing ASS style format KEY=VALUE couples separated by ",".

Default(None)
wrap_unicode Boolean

Break lines according to the Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm. Availability requires at least libass release 0.17.0 (or LIBASS_VERSION 0x01600010), and libass must have been built with libunibreak. The option is enabled by default except for native ASS.

Default('auto')
shaping Int | Literal['auto', 'simple', 'complex'] | Default

Set the shaping engine. Available values are: @end table The default is auto.

Default('auto')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Apply tilt-and-shift effect.

What happens when you invert time and space?

Normally a video is composed of several frames that represent a different instant of time and shows a scene that evolves in the space captured by the frame. This filter is the antipode of that concept, taking inspiration from tilt and shift photography.

A filtered frame contains the whole timeline of events composing the sequence, and this is obtained by placing a slice of pixels from each frame into a single one. However, since there are no infinite-width frames, this is done up the width of the input frame, and a video is recomposed by shifting away one column for each subsequent frame. In order to map space to time, the filter tilts each input frame as well, so that motion is preserved. This is accomplished by progressively selecting a different column from each input frame.

The end result is a sort of inverted parallax, so that far away objects move much faster that the ones in the front. The ideal conditions for this video effect are when there is either very little motion and the background is static, or when there is a lot of motion and a very wide depth of field (e.g. wide panorama, while moving on a train).

The filter accepts the following parameters:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
tilt Int

Tilt video while shifting (default). When unset, video will be sliding a static image, composed of the first column of each frame.

    param: Double = Default("nan"),
    desat: Double = Default("2"),
    peak: Double = Default("0"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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 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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
tonemap Int | Literal['none', 'linear', 'gamma', 'clip', 'reinhard', 'hable', 'mobius'] | Default

Set the tone map algorithm to use. Possible values are: @end table Default is none.

Default('none')
param Double

Tune the tone mapping algorithm. This affects the following algorithms: @end table

Default('nan')
desat Double

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.

Default('2')
peak Double

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.

Default('0')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Default('-1')
format Pix_fmt

Specify the output pixel format. Currently supported formats are: @end table

Default('none')
peak Double

signal peak override (from 0 to DBL_MAX) (default 0)

Default('0')
param Double

Tune the tone mapping algorithm. same as param option in tonemap.

Default('nan')
desat Double

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.

Default('0.5')
threshold Double

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. The default value is 0.2.

uspp

uspp(
    *,
    quality: Int = Default("3"),
    qp: Int = Default("0"),
    use_bframe_qp: Boolean = Default("false"),
    codec: String = Default("snow"),
    timeline_options: FFMpegTimelineOption | None = None,
    enable: str | None = None,
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Apply ultra slow/simple postprocessing filter that compresses and decompresses the image at several (or - in the case of quality level 8 - all) shifts and average the results.

The way this differs from the behavior of spp is that uspp actually encodes & decodes each case with libavcodec Snow, whereas spp uses a simplified intra only 8x8 DCT similar to MJPEG.

This filter is not available in ffmpeg versions between 5.0 and 6.0.

The filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
quality Int

Set quality. This option defines the number of levels for averaging. It accepts an integer in the range 0-8. If set to 0, the filter will have no effect. A value of 8 means the higher quality. For each increment of that value the speed drops by a factor of approximately 2. Default value is 3.

Default('3')
qp Int

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

Default('0')
use_bframe_qp Boolean

use B-frames' QP (default false)

Default('false')
codec String

Use specified codec instead of snow.

Default('snow')

    enable: str | None = None,
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
threshold Float

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.

Default('2')
method Int | Literal['hard', 'soft', 'garrote'] | Default

The filtering method the filter will use. It accepts the following values: @end table Default is garrote.

Default('garrote')
nsteps Int

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.

Default('6')
percent Float

Partial of full denoising (limited coefficients shrinking), from 0 to 100. Default value is 85.

Default('85')
planes Int

A list of the planes to process. By default all planes are processed.

Default('15')
type Int | Literal['universal', 'bayes'] | Default

The threshold type the filter will use. It accepts the following values: @end table Default is universal.

    show: Int = Default("0"),
    tripod: Int = Default("0"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Analyze video stabilization/deshaking. Perform pass 1 of 2, see 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 vidstabtransform filter.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with --enable-libvidstab.

This filter accepts the following options:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
result String

Set the path to the file used to write the transforms information. Default value is transforms.trf.

Default('transforms.trf')
shakiness Int

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.

Default('5')
accuracy Int

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.

Default('15')
stepsize Int

Set stepsize of the search process. The region around minimum is scanned with 1 pixel resolution. Default value is 6.

Default('6')
mincontrast Double

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.

Default('0.25')
show Int

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.

Default('0')
tripod Int

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.

Video stabilization/deshaking: pass 2 of 2, see vidstabdetect for pass 1.

Read a file with transform information for each frame and apply/compensate them. Together with the vidstabdetect filter this can be used to deshake videos. See also http://public.hronopik.de/vid.stab. It is important to also use the unsharp filter, see below.

To enable compilation of this filter you need to configure FFmpeg with --enable-libvidstab.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input String

Set path to the file used to read the transforms. Default value is transforms.trf.

Default('transforms.trf')
smoothing Int

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.

Default('15')
optalgo Int | Literal['opt', 'gauss', 'avg'] | Default

Set the camera path optimization algorithm. Accepted values are: @end table

Default('opt')
maxshift Int

Set maximal number of pixels to translate frames. Default value is -1, meaning no limit.

Default('-1')

Default('-1')
crop Int | Literal['keep', 'black'] | Default

Specify how to deal with borders that may be visible due to movement compensation. Available values are: @end table

Default('keep')
invert Int

Invert transforms if set to 1. Default value is 0.

Default('0')
relative Int

Consider transforms as relative to previous frame if set to 1, absolute if set to 0. Default value is 0.

Default('1')
zoom Double

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).

Default('0')
optzoom Int

Set optimal zooming to avoid borders. Accepted values are: @end table Note that the value given at zoom is added to the one calculated here.

Default('1')
zoomspeed Double

Set percent to zoom maximally each frame (enabled when optzoom is set to 2). Range is from 0 to 5, default value is 0.25.

Default('0.25')
interpol Int | Literal['no', 'linear', 'bilinear', 'bicubic'] | Default

Specify type of interpolation. Available values are: @end table

Default('bilinear')
tripod Boolean

Enable virtual tripod mode if set to 1, which is equivalent to relative=0:smoothing=0. Default value is 0. Use also tripod option of vidstabdetect.

Default('false')
debug Boolean

Increase log verbosity if set to 1. Also the detected global motions are written to the temporary file global_motions.trf. Default value is 0.

Obtain the average VIF (Visual Information Fidelity) between two input videos.

This filter takes two input videos.

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

The obtained average VIF score is printed through the logging system.

The filter stores the calculated VIF score of each frame.

This filter also supports the framesync options.

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

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 setfield filter before 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:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
filter Int | Literal['simple', 'complex'] | Default

Set the interlacing filter coefficients. Accepts one of the following values: @end table Default value is complex.

) -> VideoStream

Obtain the average (across all input frames) and minimum (across all color plane averages) eXtended Perceptually weighted peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (XPSNR) between two input videos.

The XPSNR is a low-complexity psychovisually motivated distortion measurement algorithm for assessing the difference between two video streams or images. This is especially useful for objectively quantifying the distortions caused by video and image codecs, as an alternative to a formal subjective test. The logarithmic XPSNR output values are in a similar range as those of traditional psnr assessments but better reflect human impressions of visual coding quality. More details on the XPSNR measure, which essentially represents a blockwise weighted variant of the PSNR measure, can be found in the following freely available papers:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
stats_file String

If specified, the filter will use the named file to save the XPSNR value of each individual frame and color plane. When the file name equals "-", that data is sent to standard output.

zmq

zmq(
    *,
    bind_address: String = Default("tcp://*:5555"),
    extra_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> VideoStream

Receive commands sent through a libzmq client, and forward them to filters in the filtergraph.

zmq and azmq work as a pass-through filters. zmq must be inserted between two video filters, 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 --enable-libzmq.

For more information about libzmq see: http://www.zeromq.org/

The zmq and azmq filters work as a libzmq server, which receives messages sent through a network interface defined by the bind_address (or the abbreviation "b") option. Default value of this option is tcp://localhost:5555. You may want to alter this value to your needs, but do not forget to escape any ':' signs (see filtergraph escaping).

The received message must be in the form: @example TARGET COMMAND [ARG] @end example

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 Parsed__, but you can override this by using the filter_name@id syntax (see Filtergraph syntax).

COMMAND specifies the name of the command for the target filter.

ARG is optional and specifies the optional argument list for the given 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 ERROR_CODE ERROR_REASON MESSAGE @end example

MESSAGE is optional.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
bind_address String

set bind address (default "tcp://*:5555")

Default('tcp://*:5555')
extra_options dict[str, Any] | None

Extra options for the filter

None

Returns:

Name Type Description

) -> VideoStream

Scale (resize) the input video, using the z.lib library: https://github.com/sekrit-twc/zimg. To enable compilation of this filter, you need to configure FFmpeg with --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.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
w String

Output video width

Default(None)
h String

Set the output video dimension expression. The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option. If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current value.

Default(None)
size String

Set the video size. For the syntax of this option, check the "Video size" section in the ffmpeg-utils manual.
