Split input video into several identical outputs.

The filter accepts a single parameter which specifies the number of outputs. If unspecified, it defaults to 2.

For example

ffmpeg -i INPUT -filter_complex split=5 OUTPUT

will create 5 copies of the input video.

For example:

[in] split [splitout1][splitout2];
[splitout1] crop=100:100:0:0    [cropout];
[splitout2] pad=200:200:100:100 [padout];

will create two separate outputs from the same input, one cropped and one padded.
