NAME
ffmpeg-utils - FFmpeg utilities
DESCRIPTION
This document describes some generic features and utilities provided by
the libavutil library.
SYNTAX
This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg
libraries and tools.
Quoting and escaping
FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:
o ' and \ are special characters (respectively used for quoting and
escaping). In addition to them, there might be other special
characters depending on the specific syntax where the escaping and
quoting are employed.
o A special character is escaped by prefixing it with a \.
o All characters enclosed between '' are included literally in the
parsed string. The quote character ' itself cannot be quoted, so
you may need to close the quote and escape it.
o Leading and trailing whitespaces, unless escaped or quoted, are
removed from the parsed string.
Note that you may need to add a second level of escaping when using the
command line or a script, which depends on the syntax of the adopted
shell language.
The function "av_get_token" defined in libavutil/avstring.h can be used
to parse a token quoted or escaped according to the rules defined
above.
The tool tools/ffescape in the FFmpeg source tree can be used to
automatically quote or escape a string in a script.
Examples
o Escape the string "Crime d'Amour" containing the "'" special
character:
Crime d\'Amour
o The string above contains a quote, so the "'" needs to be escaped
when quoting it:
'Crime d'\''Amour'
o Include leading or trailing whitespaces using quoting:
' this string starts and ends with whitespaces '
o Escaping and quoting can be mixed together:
' The string '\'string\'' is a string '
o To include a literal \ you can use either escaping or quoting:
'c:\foo' can be written as c:\\foo
Date
The accepted syntax is:
[(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...]]])|(HHMMSS[.m...]]]))[Z]
now
If the value is "now" it takes the current time.
Time is local time unless Z is appended, in which case it is
interpreted as UTC. If the year-month-day part is not specified it
takes the current year-month-day.
Time duration
There are two accepted syntaxes for expressing time duration.
[-][<HH>:]<MM>:<SS>[.<m>...]
HH expresses the number of hours, MM the number of minutes for a
maximum of 2 digits, and SS the number of seconds for a maximum of 2
digits. The m at the end expresses decimal value for SS.
or
[-]<S>+[.<m>...][s|ms|us]
S expresses the number of seconds, with the optional decimal part m.
The optional literal suffixes s, ms or us indicate to interpret the
value as seconds, milliseconds or microseconds, respectively.
In both expressions, the optional - indicates negative duration.
Examples
The following examples are all valid time duration:
55 55 seconds
0.2 0.2 seconds
200ms
200 milliseconds, that's 0.2s
200000us
200000 microseconds, that's 0.2s
12:03:45
12 hours, 03 minutes and 45 seconds
23.189
23.189 seconds

Specify the frame rate of a video, expressed as the number of frames
generated per second. It has to be a string in the format
frame_rate_num/frame_rate_den, an integer number, a float number or a
valid video frame rate abbreviation.
The following abbreviations are recognized:

Ratio
A ratio can be expressed as an expression, or in the form
numerator:denominator.
Note that a ratio with infinite (1/0) or negative value is considered
valid, so you should check on the returned value if you want to exclude
those values.
The undefined value can be expressed using the "0:0" string.
Color
It can be the name of a color as defined below (case insensitive match)
or a "[0x|#]RRGGBB[AA]" sequence, possibly followed by @ and a string
representing the alpha component.
The alpha component may be a string composed by "0x" followed by an
hexadecimal number or a decimal number between 0.0 and 1.0, which
represents the opacity value (0x00 or 0.0 means completely transparent,
0xff or 1.0 completely opaque). If the alpha component is not specified
then 0xff is assumed.
The string random will result in a random color.

Channel Layout
A channel layout specifies the spatial disposition of the channels in a
multi-channel audio stream. To specify a channel layout, FFmpeg makes
use of a special syntax.
Individual channels are identified by an id, as given by the table
below:
FL front left
FR front right
FC front center
LFE low frequency
BL back left
BR back right
FLC front left-of-center
FRC front right-of-center
BC back center
SL side left
SR side right
TC top center
TFL top front left
TFC top front center
TFR top front right
TBL top back left
TBC top back center
TBR top back right
DL downmix left
DR downmix right
WL wide left
WR wide right
SDL surround direct left
SDR surround direct right
LFE2
low frequency 2
Standard channel layout compositions can be specified by using the
following identifiers:
mono

A custom channel layout can be specified as a sequence of terms,
separated by '+'. Each term can be:
o the name of a single channel (e.g. FL, FR, FC, LFE, etc.), each
optionally containing a custom name after a '@', (e.g. FL@Left,
FR@Right, FC@Center, LFE@Low_Frequency, etc.)
A standard channel layout can be specified by the following:
o the name of a single channel (e.g. FL, FR, FC, LFE, etc.)
o the name of a standard channel layout (e.g. mono, stereo, 4.0,
quad, 5.0, etc.)
o a number of channels, in decimal, followed by 'c', yielding the
default channel layout for that number of channels (see the
function "av_channel_layout_default"). Note that not all channel
counts have a default layout.
o a number of channels, in decimal, followed by 'C', yielding an
unknown channel layout with the specified number of channels. Note
that not all channel layout specification strings support unknown
channel layouts.
o a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with "0x" (see the
"AV_CH_*" macros in libavutil/channel_layout.h.
Before libavutil version 53 the trailing character "c" to specify a
number of channels was optional, but now it is required, while a
channel layout mask can also be specified as a decimal number (if and
only if not followed by "c" or "C").
See also the function "av_channel_layout_from_string" defined in
libavutil/channel_layout.h.
EXPRESSION EVALUATION
When evaluating an arithmetic expression, FFmpeg uses an internal
formula evaluator, implemented through the libavutil/eval.h interface.
An expression may contain unary, binary operators, constants, and
functions.
Two expressions expr1 and expr2 can be combined to form another
expression "expr1;expr2". expr1 and expr2 are evaluated in turn, and
the new expression evaluates to the value of expr2.
The following binary operators are available: "+", "-", "*", "/", "^".
The following unary operators are available: "+", "-".
The following functions are available:
abs(x)
Compute absolute value of x.
acos(x)
Compute arccosine of x.
asin(x)
Compute arcsine of x.
atan(x)
Compute arctangent of x.
atan2(y, x)
Compute principal value of the arc tangent of y/x.
between(x, min, max)
Return 1 if x is greater than or equal to min and lesser than or
equal to max, 0 otherwise.
bitand(x, y)
bitor(x, y)
Compute bitwise and/or operation on x and y.
The results of the evaluation of x and y are converted to integers
before executing the bitwise operation.
Note that both the conversion to integer and the conversion back to
floating point can lose precision. Beware of unexpected results for
large numbers (usually 2^53 and larger).
ceil(expr)
Round the value of expression expr upwards to the nearest integer.
For example, "ceil(1.5)" is "2.0".
clip(x, min, max)
Return the value of x clipped between min and max.
cos(x)
Compute cosine of x.
cosh(x)
Compute hyperbolic cosine of x.
eq(x, y)
Return 1 if x and y are equivalent, 0 otherwise.
exp(x)
Compute exponential of x (with base "e", the Euler's number).
floor(expr)
Round the value of expression expr downwards to the nearest
integer. For example, "floor(-1.5)" is "-2.0".
gauss(x)
Compute Gauss function of x, corresponding to "exp(-x*x/2) /
sqrt(2*PI)".
gcd(x, y)
Return the greatest common divisor of x and y. If both x and y are
0 or either or both are less than zero then behavior is undefined.
gt(x, y)
Return 1 if x is greater than y, 0 otherwise.
gte(x, y)
Return 1 if x is greater than or equal to y, 0 otherwise.
hypot(x, y)
This function is similar to the C function with the same name; it
returns "sqrt(x*x + y*y)", the length of the hypotenuse of a right
triangle with sides of length x and y, or the distance of the point
(x, y) from the origin.
if(x, y)
Evaluate x, and if the result is non-zero return the result of the
evaluation of y, return 0 otherwise.
if(x, y, z)
Evaluate x, and if the result is non-zero return the evaluation
result of y, otherwise the evaluation result of z.
ifnot(x, y)
Evaluate x, and if the result is zero return the result of the
evaluation of y, return 0 otherwise.
ifnot(x, y, z)
Evaluate x, and if the result is zero return the evaluation result
of y, otherwise the evaluation result of z.
isinf(x)
Return 1.0 if x is +/-INFINITY, 0.0 otherwise.
isnan(x)
Return 1.0 if x is NAN, 0.0 otherwise.
ld(var)
Load the value of the internal variable with number var, which was
previously stored with st(var, expr). The function returns the
loaded value.
lerp(x, y, z)
Return linear interpolation between x and y by amount of z.
log(x)
Compute natural logarithm of x.
lt(x, y)
Return 1 if x is lesser than y, 0 otherwise.
lte(x, y)
Return 1 if x is lesser than or equal to y, 0 otherwise.
max(x, y)
Return the maximum between x and y.
min(x, y)
Return the minimum between x and y.
mod(x, y)
Compute the remainder of division of x by y.
not(expr)
Return 1.0 if expr is zero, 0.0 otherwise.
pow(x, y)
Compute the power of x elevated y, it is equivalent to "(x)^(y)".
print(t)
print(t, l)
Print the value of expression t with loglevel l. If l is not
specified then a default log level is used. Returns the value of
the expression printed.
Prints t with loglevel l
random(idx)
Return a pseudo random value between 0.0 and 1.0. idx is the index
of the internal variable which will be used to save the seed/state.
randomi(idx, min, max)
Return a pseudo random value in the interval between min and max.
idx is the index of the internal variable which will be used to
save the seed/state.
root(expr, max)
Find an input value for which the function represented by expr with
argument ld(0) is 0 in the interval 0..max.
The expression in expr must denote a continuous function or the
result is undefined.
ld(0) is used to represent the function input value, which means
that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times with
various input values that the expression can access through ld(0).
When the expression evaluates to 0 then the corresponding input
value will be returned.
round(expr)
Round the value of expression expr to the nearest integer. For
example, "round(1.5)" is "2.0".
sgn(x)
Compute sign of x.
sin(x)
Compute sine of x.
sinh(x)
Compute hyperbolic sine of x.
sqrt(expr)
Compute the square root of expr. This is equivalent to "(expr)^.5".
squish(x)
Compute expression "1/(1 + exp(4*x))".
st(var, expr)
Store the value of the expression expr in an internal variable. var
specifies the number of the variable where to store the value, and
it is a value ranging from 0 to 9. The function returns the value
stored in the internal variable. Note, Variables are currently not
shared between expressions.
tan(x)
Compute tangent of x.
tanh(x)
Compute hyperbolic tangent of x.
taylor(expr, x)
taylor(expr, x, id)
Evaluate a Taylor series at x, given an expression representing the
"ld(id)"-th derivative of a function at 0.
When the series does not converge the result is undefined.
ld(id) is used to represent the derivative order in expr, which
means that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times
with various input values that the expression can access through
"ld(id)". If id is not specified then 0 is assumed.
Note, when you have the derivatives at y instead of 0,
"taylor(expr, x-y)" can be used.
time(0)
Return the current (wallclock) time in seconds.
trunc(expr)
Round the value of expression expr towards zero to the nearest
integer. For example, "trunc(-1.5)" is "-1.0".
while(cond, expr)
Evaluate expression expr while the expression cond is non-zero, and
returns the value of the last expr evaluation, or NAN if cond was
always false.
The following constants are available:
PI area of the unit disc, approximately 3.14
E exp(1) (Euler's number), approximately 2.718
PHI golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2, approximately 1.618
Assuming that an expression is considered "true" if it has a non-zero
value, note that:
"*" works like AND
"+" works like OR
For example the construct:
if (A AND B) then C
is equivalent to:
if(A*B, C)
In your C code, you can extend the list of unary and binary functions,
and define recognized constants, so that they are available for your
expressions.
The evaluator also recognizes the International System unit prefixes.
If 'i' is appended after the prefix, binary prefixes are used, which
are based on powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000. The 'B' postfix
multiplies the value by 8, and can be appended after a unit prefix or
used alone. This allows using for example 'KB', 'MiB', 'G' and 'B' as
number postfix.
The list of available International System prefixes follows, with
indication of the corresponding powers of 10 and of 2.
