It applies a formula to every pixel in the input and can adjust alpha, rgb values, and gamma. You can also use conditionals in your formula and have access to the current pixels location and value, so you can apply your transforms only to specific regions if you want, or do an adjustment keyed only to a specific color. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) You're talking about green screen right? :D permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 year ago Have you seen this? Green screen on crack. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuIVsNzqDk permalink fedilink source parent [–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) That and more really. You could use it to do a green screen effect, but you can also use it to adjust color balance, brightness or do weirder things like swapping values between colors. It gets really crazy when you are working with full video because the time of the current frame is also available to be incorporated, so you can even do animated effects. Another powerful filter is the convolve filter. That allows you to apply matrix transformations, which can for example be used to apply a homography matrix and adjust a videos perspective. permalink fedilink source parent [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 months ago* I am using this comment to trick my lemmy client into going to the community, sorry !ffmpeg@programming.dev permalink fedilink source parent
