multiply should result in a darker image according to this website. However every multiply options with input that I'm using resulted in darker green videos instead of layering it with colour that I use for layering.

Many people refer that as format issue and resolved by using format=rgba options, however in my case there I'm still stuck.

FFMPEG command :

ffmpeg -i red.jpg -i car.mp4 -y -filter_complex [0][1]scale2ref[a][b];[a]setdar=1/1[c];[b]setdar=1/1[d];[c][d]blend=all_mode=multiply:all_opacity=1[out];[out]eq=contrast=2:brightness=0.5[ckv] -map [ckv] output.mp4

with format=rgba

ffmpeg -i red.jpg -i car.mp4 -y -filter_complex [0][1]scale2ref[a][b];[a]setdar=1/1[c];[b]setdar=1/1,format=rgba[d];[c][d]blend=all_mode=multiply:all_opacity=1[out];[out]eq=contrast=2:brightness=0.5[ckv] -map [ckv] output.mp4

assets in case someone want to try it. - Images - Videos

FFMPEG version 4.1

  • If you want a tint, don't use mode multiply, use mode overlay.

Your command is wrong, if you enable debug log messages, you would notice that yuv formats are still being used. You need to put format=rgba filter to all inputs and outputs of blend filter to make it work as you want.

  • I'm sorry but I'm new to FFmpeg, I tried as you said but the video isn't playable. ffmpeg -i red.jpg -i car.mp4 -y -filter_complex [0][1]scale2ref[a][b];[a]setdar=1/1,format=rgba[c];[b]setdar=1/1,format=rgba[d];[c][d]blend=all_mode=multiply:all_opacity=1[out];[out]eq=contrast=2:brightness=0.5,format=rgba[ckv] -map [ckv] output.mp4

  • ffmpeg -i .\car.mp4 -filter_complex "format=rgba" output3.mp4 -loglevel debug Even i tried this the video arent playable, and still resulting on yuv If I'm not mistaken the yuv is coded y,u,v intra: 53.8% 1.8% 1.7% inter: 19.1% 0.5% 0.5% on the end of conversion right?

  • If you set format as rgba, then ffmpeg will convert to yuv444p for the sake of x264. Add -pix_fmt yuv420p as well.
