Photosensitivity

Video Single output Transform

Filter out photosensitive epilepsy seizure-inducing flashes.

FFmpeg filter: photosensitivity — the official reference.

Add it to a graph. The explicit form works for every filter — bind it to its input and read the result from outputs():

$node = $video->addFilter(new Photosensitivity(…));
$result = $node->outputs()[0];

Shorthand. Single-output filters can skip the node — apply() returns the result stream directly:

$result = $video->apply(new Photosensitivity(…));

TODO — when this filter shines: what it’s the right tool for, what to reach for instead when it isn’t, and how it composes with neighbouring filters.

TODO — prose: how the filter actually works and what its key parameters mean (the explanation FFmpeg’s terse option help omits).

TODO — runnable PHP, with the equivalent ffmpeg CLI alongside.

ParameterTypeDefaultRange / valuesDescription
framesint302–240set how many frames to use
thresholdfloat1≥ 0.1set detection threshold factor (lower is stricter)
skipint11–1024set pixels to skip when sampling frames
bypassboolfalse—leave frames unchanged

FFmpeg also names these options (use the parameter shown above): f → frames, t → threshold.
