Hi Folks, I'm exploring the lagfun filter and think I may have some fundamental misunderstanding as I'm not getting the results I expect.
I have a video of green lasers on glassware in the dark and wish to make the laser flashes persist. My attempts so far seem to result in the green flashes persisting as white, however. I tried this command which I think should do this: Take the YUV input video, split it into RGB, run lagfun on only the green content, save resulting output. ffmpeg -i IMG_1685.MOV -q:v 0 -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -strict -2 -filter:v format=pix_fmts=rgb24,lagfun=decay=0.999 greenlagtest.mp4 Input file is here: http://www.robinbussell.co.uk/mov/IMG_1685.MOV (far too much camera movement, I know!)

Can anyone help explain what's going on? I was expecting green trails but got white. There are Blue trails too, however, from the blue LEDs in the scene, am I getting the concept of planes mixed up somewhere? maybe something to do with the very high contrast input?
