This package contains elements providing video filters based on [ffmpeg video filter feature](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Video-Filters).

Currently only the TextOverlay element is implemented, based on [ffmpeg drawtext filter](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#drawtext-1).
This element enables adding text on top of given raw video frames.  

PRs with the implementation of other video filters are welcome!

## Installation

The package can be installed by adding `membrane_ffmpeg_video_filter_plugin` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
	  {:membrane_ffmpeg_video_filter_plugin, "~> 0.9.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

### TextOverlay

Below example pipeline adds "John Doe" text over h264 video in a specified style.

```elixir
defmodule VideoFilter.Pipeline do
  use Membrane.Pipeline

  alias Membrane.File.{Sink, Source}
  alias Membrane.H264.FFmpeg.{Parser, Decoder, Encoder}
  alias Membrane.FFmpeg.VideoFilter.TextOverlay

  @impl true
  def handle_init(_ctx, _opts) do
    structure = 
      child(:file_src, %Source{location: "input.h264"}) 
      |> child(:parser, %Parser{framerate: {10, 1}}) 
      |> child(:decoder, Decoder) 
      |> child(:text_filter, %TextOverlay{
          text: "John Doe",
          x: :center,
          fontsize: 25,
          fontcolor: "white",
          border?: true
        }
      ) 
      |> child(:encoder,  Encoder) 
      |> child(:file_sink,  %Sink{location: "output.h264"})
  
    {[spec: structure], %{}}
