Since* 1.0
#

Modify the hue and/or the saturation of the input.

It accepts the following parameters:

h

Specify the hue angle as a number of degrees. It accepts an expression, and defaults to "0".

s

Specify the saturation in the [-10,10] range. It accepts an expression and defaults to "1".

H

Specify the hue angle as a number of radians. It accepts an expression, and defaults to "0".

b

Specify the brightness in the [-10,10] range. It accepts an expression and defaults to "0".

h and H are mutually exclusive, and can’t be specified at the same time.

The b, h, H and s option values are expressions containing the following constants:

n

frame count of the input frame starting from 0

pts

presentation timestamp of the input frame expressed in time base units

r

frame rate of the input video, NAN if the input frame rate is unknown

t

timestamp expressed in seconds, NAN if the input timestamp is unknown

tb

time base of the input video

#

Examples

  • Set the hue to 90 degrees and the saturation to 1.0:

    hue=h=90:s=1
  • Same command but expressing the hue in radians:

    hue=H=PI/2:s=1
  • Rotate hue and make the saturation swing between 0 and 2 over a period of 1 second:

    hue="H=2*PI*t: s=sin(2*PI*t)+1"
  • Apply a 3 seconds saturation fade-in effect starting at 0:

    hue="s=min(t/3\,1)"

    The general fade-in expression can be written as:

    hue="s=min(0\, max((t-START)/DURATION\, 1))"
  • Apply a 3 seconds saturation fade-out effect starting at 5 seconds:

    hue="s=max(0\, min(1\, (8-t)/3))"

    The general fade-out expression can be written as:

    hue="s=max(0\, min(1\, (START+DURATION-t)/DURATION))"
#

Commands

This filter supports the following commands:

b, s, h, H

Modify the hue and/or the saturation and/or brightness of the input video. The command accepts the same syntax of the corresponding option.

If the specified expression is not valid, it is kept at its current value.
