Demo: ffmpeg -i https://media.xiph.org/video/derf/y4m/bowing_cif.y4m -vf "backgroundkey=threshold=0.2:similarity:0.02[v];color=s=cif:c=lime[c];[c][v]overlay=format=yuv422,format=yuv422p" out.y4m The more trivial, rudimentary technique, taking single still image of supposed background and produce alpha mask with combination of input video, is also possible, but not with backgroundkey filter, instead using several different video filters in non-trivial combination... > > Thanks! > > Erik > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-user mailing list > [email protected] > https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user > > To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email > [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe". > _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
