How to use multiple palettegen arguments in FFMPEG

I am creating a palette with FFMPEG using the following:

ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vf palettegen=max_colors=5 palette.gif

I want to use additional features such as reserve_transparent as mentioned in the FFMPEG palettegen docs, but having trouble getting it to work:

ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vf palettegen=max_colors=5,reserve_transparent=1 palette.gif

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • Options for a filter are separated by a colon, so

    ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vf palettegen=max_colors=5:reserve_transparent=1 palette.gif
