Minimal example of an ffmpeg video filter which applies a pair of OpenGL shaders to each frame of its input, and emits the shaded frames.
~/FFmpeg$ ln -s ~/ffmpeg-opengl/vf_gearstitch.c libavfilter/
~/FFmpeg$ git apply ~/ffmpeg-opengl/FFmpeg.diff
~/FFmpeg$ ./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-filter=genericshader \
--enable-gpl --enable-opengl --extra-libs='-lGLEW -lglfw'
~/FFmpeg$ make
- You may want to pass
--cc=clang
on OS X. - There may slight variation in how GLEW and glfw are named (with regard to
--extra-libs
, above), e.g.-lglew
or-lglfw3
- checkpkg-config
. - The above example builds a minimal FFmpeg binary with libx264, which you'll need to build/install if that's the route you go. There's nothing codec-specific about the filter itself.
./ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf genericshader -y output.mp4
