Colorspace support in FFmpeg
What is colorspace? Why should we care?
Colorspace describes how an array of pixel values should be displayed on the screen. It provides information like how pixel values are stored within a file, and what the range and meaning of those values are.
Basically, it tells the format of the array of pixels (e.g. RGB or YUV), and how the values of each color component should be translated, to be properly displayed by the photons of the screen. (i.e. picking a colorspace randomly seems unlikely to be a good choice...)
The differences between RGB and YUV:
- RGB distinguishes color pixel values into 3 components: Red, Green, Blue. (hence the name)
- YUV uses a different representation schema that represents color pixel values in: Luma (Y, or brightness), Chroma (U and V, two color differences). This format exploits the fact that humans are able to better notice details in luminance (approximated by luma) than in chroma. [ Note: YUV represents color in 3 components. ]
Note:
͏ The term "YUV" is ambiguous and often used wrongly [1], including the definition of pixel formats in FFmpeg.
͏ A more accurate term for how colors stored in digital video would be YCbCr.
͏ Y'UV on the other hand specifies a colorspace consisting of luma (Y') and chrominance (UV) components.
͏ For more info read Wikipedia <YUV>.
[ [1]
͏ There's no practical difference between YUV and YCbCr: sort of more like "RGB" and "BGR".
͏ "UV" doesn't explicitly state the exact type of color difference neither. (so it might be "CbCr") ]
͏ In following, the term YUV is used as in FFmpeg pixel formats: referring to YCbCr in digital video.
The conversion between YUV pixel buffer representation and its visual representation depends on the type of the YUV represented in the pixel buffers, which are essentially device-dependent. The accuracy of grey vs color separation depends on how well the transformation matrix matches the underlying RGB space.
Examples are:
- BT.601 ("Standard-Definition" or SD)
- BT.709 ("High-Definition" or HD)
- BT.2020 ("Ultra-High-Definition" or UHD)
These standards describe not just things like how to convert a YUV signal to RGB, but also how a RGB signal should be represented in terms of photon emission, in a device-independent way.
How does FFmpeg identify colorspaces?
In FFmpeg, colorspaces are represented in the form of pixel format.
In practical terms, the properties you care about are:
- The signal format in the pixel buffer:
- the signal type: RGB, YUV, or other type, and
- the signal bit-depth.
- For YUV signals, the color range: full/pc/jpeg or limited/restricted/tv/mpeg. [ See also: # ͏"color_primaries" ]
For 8bpc (bit-per-component): full means 0 .. 255, limited 16 .. 235. - The transformation matrix between YUV and RGB.
- The linearization function from RGB to a linear RGB signal.
- The conversion matrix between the linearized RGB and the device-independent XYZ colorspace.
FFmpeg stores these properties in the AVFrame struct:
- The format (type and bit-depth)->format
- The signal range->color_range
- The YUV/RGB transformation matrix->colorspace
- The linearization function (a.k.a. transformation characteristics)->color_trc
- The RGB/XYZ matrix->color_primaries
How to use FFmpeg to convert the colorspace
Warning: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Scaling#Warning
Pixel format conversion is often performed by libswscale, which you will most likely access through the FFmpeg Scaler or the scale video filter.
Other video filters include:
colormatrix
(native)colorspace
(native)zscale
(z.lib library)
Comparing and contrasting colorspace
, colormatrix
, libswscale, and zscale
colorspace
andcolormatrix
can only convert YUV to YUV- libswscale can convert between YUV and RGB
colormatrix
only supports 8bpc pixel formatscolorspace
supports 8bpc, 10bpc, and 12bpccolormatrix
does not apply gamma and primaries correction (i.e. which exact color "red", "green", and "blue" each is)colorspace
applies gamma and primaries correction by default. (Usefast=1
to disable this for faster conversion or to make output compatible with output produced bycolormatrix
.)colormatrix
is C only, whereascolorspace
uses x86 SIMD so it's fastercolormatrix
produces horrible quality for 10bpc and 12bpccolorspace
produces something decent for 10bpc- For 8bpc,
colorspace
seems to produce slightly better quality thancolormatrix
zscale
produces better results at all bit depths
colorspace
and friends
The easiest way to use these filters is to ensure that the input AVFrames have all relevant struct members set to the appropriate values. On ffmpeg command-line this is what options such as colorspace
and color_trc
do; you can also put them on the output side to modify what space the output is in.
If everything goes well, libswscale figures out how to do the conversion and you can avoid calling the filter manually. However, AVFrames does not cover every option needed, so advanced use will go back to colorspace
or zscale
.
See also sws_setColorspaceDetails() and F.X.'s colorspace answer.
sRGB
There is no colorspace default called sRGB in FFmpeg, because it's identical to BT.709 except for a different transfer function. Just use one of the following:
- sRGB input, fast:
-vf "colorspace=all=bt709:fast=1"
, aka-colorspace bt709
(on the input side!) - sRGB input, accurate:
-vf "colorspace=all=bt709:itrc=srgb:fast=0"
, aka-colorspace bt709 -color_trc srgb
(on the input side!)
See also F.X.'s HDR answer and Gyan's sRGB output answer. If srgb
does not work, try the more academic name iec61966-2-1
.
"color_primaries"
͏ Quick reference for somewhat cryptic "color_primaries" names:
͏ 1: "bt709" (BT.709)
͏ 5: "bt470bg" / "gamma28" (BT.470 BG)

[ "SWS_FULL_CHR_H_INT"
͏ Perform full chroma upsampling when upscaling to RGB.
͏ For example, when converting 50x50 yuv420p to 100x100 rgba:
͏ Setting this flag will scale the chroma plane from 25x25 to 100x100 (4:4:4):
͏ And then convert the 100x100 yuv444p image to rgba in the final output step.
͏ .
͏ Without this flag, the chroma plane is instead scaled to 50x100 (4:2:2):
͏ With a single chroma sample being re-used, for both of the horizontally adjacent RGBA output pixels. ]
[ "SWS_FULL_CHR_H_INP"
͏ Perform full chroma interpolation when downscaling RGB sources.
͏ For example, when converting a 100x100 rgba source to 50x50 yuv444p:
͏ Setting this flag will generate a 100x100 (4:4:4) chroma plane, which is then downscaled to the required 50x50.
͏ .
͏ Without this flag, the chroma plane is instead generated at 50x100 (dropping every other pixel):
͏ Before then being downscaled to the required 50x50 resolution. ] ]

[ MasterQuestionable:
͏ The description is much misleading... if not outright misinformation?
͏ |1| Both may be RGB irrelevant: occurs during YUV unsubsampling.
͏ |2| SWS_FULL_CHR_H_INT may involve down-scaling too.
͏ |3| [
͏ SWS_FULL_CHR_H_INP asserts full-chroma input; which then forces use of full-chroma interpolation: whether sensible or not.
͏ Which is actually somewhat useless: as the default handling seems... sensible? ]
