<a name="Introduction"></a>
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-Introduction">1. Introduction</a></h1>
<p>Libavfilter is the filtering API of Libav. It replaces ’vhooks’, and
started as a Google Summer of Code project.
</p>
<p>Note that there may still be serious bugs in the code and its API
and ABI should not be considered stable yet!
</p>
<a name="Tutorial"></a>
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-Tutorial">2. Tutorial</a></h1>
<p>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:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">input --> split --> fifo -----------------------> overlay --> output
| ^
| |
+------> fifo --> crop --> vflip --------+
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>splits the stream in two streams, then 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:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">./avconv -i input -vf "[in] split [T1], fifo, [T2] overlay=0:H/2 [out]; [T1] fifo, crop=iw:ih/2:0:ih/2, vflip [T2]" output
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The result will be that the top half of the video is mirrored
onto the bottom half of the output video.
</p>
<p>Video filters are loaded using the <var>-vf</var> option passed to
avconv or to avplay. Filters in the same linear chain are separated by
commas. In our example, <var>split</var>, <var>fifo</var>, and <var>overlay</var> are in one
linear chain, and <var>fifo</var>, <var>crop</var>, and <var>vflip</var> are in another. The
points where the linear chains join are labeled by names enclosed in square
brackets. In our example, they join at <var>[T1]</var> and <var>[T2]</var>. The magic
labels <var>[in]</var> and <var>[out]</var> are the points where video is input
and output.
</p>
<p>Some filters take a list of parameters: they are specified
after the filter name and an equal sign, and are separated
by a semicolon.
</p>
<p>There are so-called <var>source filters</var> that do not take video
input, and we expect that some <var>sink filters</var> will
not have video output, at some point in the future.
</p>
<a name="graph2dot"></a>
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-graph2dot">3. graph2dot</a></h1>
<p>The ‘<tt>graph2dot</tt>’ program included in the Libav ‘<tt>tools</tt>’
directory can be used to parse a filter graph description and issue a
corresponding textual representation in the dot language.
</p>
<p>Invoke the command:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">graph2dot -h
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>to see how to use ‘<tt>graph2dot</tt>’.
</p>
<p>You can then pass the dot description to the ‘<tt>dot</tt>’ program (from
the graphviz suite of programs) and obtain a graphical representation
of the filter graph.
</p>
<p>For example the sequence of commands:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">echo <var>GRAPH_DESCRIPTION</var> | \
tools/graph2dot -o graph.tmp && \
dot -Tpng graph.tmp -o graph.png && \
display graph.png
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>can be used to create and display an image representing the graph
described by the <var>GRAPH_DESCRIPTION</var> string.
</p>
<a name="Filtergraph-description"></a>
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-Filtergraph-description">4. Filtergraph description</a></h1>
<p>A filtergraph is a directed graph of connected filters. It can contain
cycles, and there can be multiple links between a pair of
filters. Each link has one input pad on one side connecting it to one
filter from which it takes its input, and one output pad on the other
side connecting it to one filter accepting its output.
</p>
<p>Each filter in a filtergraph is an instance of a filter class
registered in the application, which defines the features and the
number of input and output pads of the filter.
</p>
<p>A filter with no input pads is called a "source", and a filter with no
output pads is called a "sink".
</p>
<p><a name="Filtergraph-syntax"></a>
</p><a name="Filtergraph-syntax-1"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-Filtergraph-syntax-1">4.1 Filtergraph syntax</a></h2>
<p>A filtergraph has a textual representation, which is
recognized by the ‘<samp>-filter</samp>’/‘<samp>-vf</samp>’ and ‘<samp>-filter_complex</samp>’
options in <code>avconv</code> and ‘<samp>-vf</samp>’ in <code>avplay</code>, and by the
<code>avfilter_graph_parse()</code>/<code>avfilter_graph_parse2()</code> functions defined in
‘<tt>libavfilter/avfilter.h</tt>’.
</p>
<p>A filterchain consists of a sequence of connected filters, each one
connected to the previous one in the sequence. A filterchain is
represented by a list of ","-separated filter descriptions.
</p>
<p>A filtergraph consists of a sequence of filterchains. A sequence of
filterchains is represented by a list of ";"-separated filterchain
descriptions.
</p>
<p>A filter is represented by a string of the form:
[<var>in_link_1</var>]...[<var>in_link_N</var>]<var>filter_name</var>=<var>arguments</var>[<var>out_link_1</var>]...[<var>out_link_M</var>]
</p>
<p><var>filter_name</var> is the name of the filter class of which the
described filter is an instance of, and has to be the name of one of
the filter classes registered in the program.
The name of the filter class is optionally followed by a string
"=<var>arguments</var>".
</p>
<p><var>arguments</var> is a string which contains the parameters used to
initialize the filter instance. It may have one of two forms:
</p><ul>
<li>
A ’:’-separated list of <var>key=value</var> pairs.
</li><li>
A ’:’-separated list of <var>value</var>. In this case, the keys are assumed to be
the option names in the order they are declared. E.g. the <code>fade</code> filter
declares three options in this order – ‘<samp>type</samp>’, ‘<samp>start_frame</samp>’ and
‘<samp>nb_frames</samp>’. Then the parameter list <var>in:0:30</var> means that the value
<var>in</var> is assigned to the option ‘<samp>type</samp>’, <var>0</var> to
‘<samp>start_frame</samp>’ and <var>30</var> to ‘<samp>nb_frames</samp>’.
</li></ul>
<p>If the option value itself is a list of items (e.g. the <code>format</code> filter
takes a list of pixel formats), the items in the list are usually separated by
’|’.
</p>
<p>The list of arguments can be quoted using the character "’" as initial
and ending mark, and the character ’\’ for escaping the characters
within the quoted text; otherwise the argument string is considered
terminated when the next special character (belonging to the set
"[]=;,") is encountered.
</p>
<p>The name and arguments of the filter are optionally preceded and
followed by a list of link labels.
A link label allows to name a link and associate it to a filter output
or input pad. The preceding labels <var>in_link_1</var>
... <var>in_link_N</var>, are associated to the filter input pads,
the following labels <var>out_link_1</var> ... <var>out_link_M</var>, are
associated to the output pads.
</p>
<p>When two link labels with the same name are found in the
filtergraph, a link between the corresponding input and output pad is
created.
</p>
<p>If an output pad is not labelled, it is linked by default to the first
unlabelled input pad of the next filter in the filterchain.
For example in the filterchain
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">nullsrc, split[L1], [L2]overlay, nullsink
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>the split filter instance has two output pads, and the overlay filter
instance two input pads. The first output pad of split is labelled
"L1", the first input pad of overlay is labelled "L2", and the second
output pad of split is linked to the second input pad of overlay,
which are both unlabelled.
</p>
<p>In a complete filterchain all the unlabelled filter input and output
pads must be connected. A filtergraph is considered valid if all the
filter input and output pads of all the filterchains are connected.
</p>
<p>Libavfilter will automatically insert <a href="#scale">scale</a> 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</var>;</code>
to the filtergraph description.
</p>
<p>Here is a BNF description of the filtergraph syntax:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example"><var>NAME</var> ::= sequence of alphanumeric characters and '_'
<var>LINKLABEL</var> ::= "[" <var>NAME</var> "]"

</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>first_pts</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Assume that the first PTS should be this value. The time base is 1 / sample
rate. This allows for padding/trimming at the start of the 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.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<a name="atrim"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-atrim">5.9 atrim</a></h2>
<p>Trim the input so that the output contains one continuous subpart of the input.
</p>
<p>It accepts the following parameters:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt> ‘<samp>start</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Timestamp (in seconds) of the start of the section to keep. I.e. the audio
sample with the timestamp <var>start</var> will be the first sample in the output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>end</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Timestamp (in seconds) of the first audio sample that will be dropped. I.e. the
audio sample immediately preceding the one with the timestamp <var>end</var> will be
the last sample in the output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>start_pts</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Same as <var>start</var>, except this option sets the start timestamp in samples
instead of seconds.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>end_pts</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Same as <var>end</var>, except this option sets the end timestamp in samples instead
of seconds.

</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>duration</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>The maximum duration of the output in seconds.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>start_sample</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>The number of the first sample that should be output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>end_sample</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>The number of the first sample that should be dropped.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the ‘<samp>duration</samp>’
option look at the frame timestamp, while the _sample options simply count the
samples that pass through the filter. So start/end_pts and start/end_sample will
give different results when the timestamps are wrong, inexact or do not start at
zero. Also note that this filter does not modify the timestamps. If you wish
to have the output timestamps start at zero, insert the asetpts filter after the
atrim filter.
</p>
<p>If multiple start or end options are set, this filter tries to be greedy and
keep all samples that match at least one of the specified constraints. To keep
only the part that matches all the constraints at once, chain multiple atrim
filters.
</p>
<p>The defaults are such that all the input is kept. So it is possible to set e.g.
just the end values to keep everything before the specified time.
</p>
<p>Examples:
</p><ul>
<li>
Drop everything except the second minute of input:
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">avconv -i INPUT -af atrim=60:120
</pre></td></tr></table>
</li><li>
Keep only the first 1000 samples:
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">avconv -i INPUT -af atrim=end_sample=1000

increase of volume and <var>decays</var> refers to decrease of volume. For most

<p>Dilate an image by using a specific structuring element.
It corresponds to the libopencv function <code>cvDilate</code>.
</p>
<p>It accepts the parameters: <var>struct_el</var>|<var>nb_iterations</var>.
</p>
<p><var>struct_el</var> represents a structuring element, and has the syntax:
<var>cols</var>x<var>rows</var>+<var>anchor_x</var>x<var>anchor_y</var>/<var>shape</var>

point, and <var>shape</var> the shape for the structuring element. <var>shape</var>
must be "rect", "cross", "ellipse", or "custom".
</p>
<p>If the value for <var>shape</var> is "custom", it must be followed by a
string of the form "=<var>filename</var>". The file with name
<var>filename</var> is assumed to represent a binary image, with each
printable character corresponding to a bright pixel. When a custom
<var>shape</var> is used, <var>cols</var> and <var>rows</var> are ignored, the number
or columns and rows of the read file are assumed instead.
</p>
<p>The default value for <var>struct_el</var> is "3x3+0x0/rect".
</p>
<p><var>nb_iterations</var> specifies the number of times the transform is
applied to the image, and defaults to 1.

<h3 class="subsection"><a href="libavfilter.html#toc-smooth">8.24.3 smooth</a></h3>
<p>Smooth the input video.
</p>
<p>The filter takes the following parameters:
<var>type</var>|<var>param1</var>|<var>param2</var>|<var>param3</var>|<var>param4</var>.
</p>
<p><var>type</var> is the type of smooth filter to apply, and must be one of
the following values: "blur", "blur_no_scale", "median", "gaussian",
or "bilateral". The default value is "gaussian".
</p>
<p>The meaning of <var>param1</var>, <var>param2</var>, <var>param3</var>, and <var>param4</var>
depend on the smooth type. <var>param1</var> and
<var>param2</var> accept integer positive values or 0. <var>param3</var> and
<var>param4</var> accept floating point values.
</p>
<p>The default value for <var>param1</var> is 3. The default value for the
other parameters is 0.

<p>Overlay one video on top of another.
</p>
<p>It takes two inputs and has one output. The first input is the "main"
video on which the second input is overlayed.
</p>
<p>It accepts the following parameters:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> ‘<samp>x</samp>’</dt>

</dl>
<p>Be aware that frames are taken from each input video in timestamp
order, hence, if their initial timestamps differ, it is a a good idea
to pass the two inputs through a <var>setpts=PTS-STARTPTS</var> filter to
have them begin in the same zero timestamp, as the example for
the <var>movie</var> filter does.

<dd><p>The timestamp (in seconds) of the first frame that will be dropped. The frame
immediately preceding the one with the timestamp <var>end</var> will be the last
frame in the output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>start_pts</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>This is the same as <var>start</var>, except this option sets the start timestamp

<dd><p>This is the same as <var>end</var>, except this option sets the end timestamp

</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>end_frame</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>The number of the first frame that should be dropped.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the ‘<samp>duration</samp>’
option look at the frame timestamp, while the _frame variants simply count the
frames that pass through the filter. Also note that this filter does not modify
the timestamps. If you wish for the output timestamps to start at zero, insert a
setpts filter after the trim filter.
</p>
<p>If multiple start or end options are set, this filter tries to be greedy and
keep all the frames that match at least one of the specified constraints. To keep
only the part that matches all the constraints at once, chain multiple trim
filters.
</p>
<p>The defaults are such that all the input is kept. So it is possible to set e.g.
just the end values to keep everything before the specified time.

Drop everything except the second minute of input:

</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>sar</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Set the sample aspect ratio of the sourced video.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> ‘<samp>duration</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>Set the video duration of the sourced video. The accepted syntax is:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">[-]HH[:MM[:SS[.m...]]]
[-]S+[.m...]
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Also see the the <code>av_parse_time()</code> function.
</p>
<p>If not specified, or the expressed duration is negative, the video is
supposed to be generated forever.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example the following:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">testsrc=duration=5.3:size=qcif:rate=10
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>will generate a video with a duration of 5.3 seconds, with size
176x144 and a framerate of 10 frames per second.
