@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! |
||||
|
||||
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. |
