@chapter Introduction
|
|
|
|
Libavfilter is the filtering API of FFmpeg. It is the substitute of the
|
|
now deprecated 'vhooks' and started as a Google Summer of Code project.
|
|
|
|
Integrating libavfilter into the main FFmpeg repository is a work in
|
|
progress. If you wish to try the unfinished development code of
|
|
libavfilter then check it out from the libavfilter repository into
|
|
some directory of your choice by:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/soc/libavfilter
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
And then read the README file in the top directory to learn how to
|
|
integrate it into ffmpeg and ffplay.
|
|
|
|
But note that there may still be serious bugs in the code and its API
|
|
and ABI should not be considered stable yet!
|
|
|
|
@chapter Tutorial
|
|
|
|
In libavfilter, it is possible for filters to have multiple inputs and
|
|
multiple outputs.
|
|
To illustrate the sorts of things that are possible, we can
|
|
use a complex filter graph. For example, the following one:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
input --> split --> fifo -----------------------> overlay --> output
|
|
| ^
|
|
| |
|
|
+------> fifo --> crop --> vflip --------+
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
splits the stream in two streams, sends one stream through the crop filter
|
|
and the vflip filter before merging it back with the other stream by
|
|
overlaying it on top. You can use the following command to achieve this:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
./ffmpeg -i in.avi -s 240x320 -vfilters "[in] split [T1], fifo, [T2] overlay= 0:240 [out]; [T1] fifo, crop=0:0:-1:240, vflip [T2]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
where input_video.avi has a vertical resolution of 480 pixels. The
|
|
result will be that in output the top half of the video is mirrored
|
|
onto the bottom half.
|
|
|
|
Video filters are loaded using the @var{-vfilters} option passed to
|
|
ffmpeg or to ffplay. Filters in the same linear chain are separated by
|
|
commas. In our example, @var{split, fifo, overlay} are in one linear
|
|
chain, and @var{fifo, crop, vflip} are in another. The points where
|
|
the linear chains join are labeled by names enclosed in square
|
|
brackets. In our example, that is @var{[T1]} and @var{[T2]}. The magic
|
|
labels @var{[in]} and @var{[out]} are the points where video is input
|
|
and output.
|
|
|
|
Some filters take in input a list of parameters: they are specified
|
|
after the filter name and an equal sign, and are separated each other
|
|
by a semicolon.
|
|
|
|
There exist so-called @var{source filters} that do not have a video
|
|
input, and we expect in the future some @var{sink filters} that will
|
|
not have video output.
|
|
|
|
@chapter Available video filters
|
|
|
|
When you configure your FFmpeg build, you can disable any of the
|
|
existing video filters.
|
|
The configure output will show the video filters included in your
|
|
build.
|
|
|
|
Below is a description of the currently available video filters.
|
|
|
|
@section crop
|
|
|
|
Crop the input video to x:y:width:height.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
./ffmpeg -i in.avi -vfilters "crop=0:0:0:240" out.avi
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
``x'' and ``y'' specify the position of the top-left corner of the
|
|
output (non-cropped) area.
|
|
|
|
The default value of ``x'' and ``y'' is 0.
|
|
|
|
The ``width'' and ``height'' parameters specify the width and height
|
|
of the output (non-cropped) area.
|
|
|
|
A value of 0 is interpreted as the maximum possible size contained in
|
|
the area delimited by the top-left corner at position x:y.
|
|
|
|
For example the parameters:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
"crop=100:100:0:0"
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will delimit the rectangle with the top-left corner placed at position
|
|
100:100 and the right-bottom corner corresponding to the right-bottom
|
|
corner of the input image.
|
|
|
|
The default value of ``w'' and ``h'' is 0.
|
|
|
|
@section null
|
|
|
|
Pass the source unchanged to the output.
