FFmpeg's common filter "v360" missing


I'm trying to convert a 180° fisheye video to a normal/regular video using the v360 filter of FFmpeg.

This is the command I tried:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "v360=input=fisheye:output=flat:iv_fov=180:v_fov=90" out.mp4

But the output says clearly No such filter: 'v360', although v360 is a common filter listed in docs and other filters I used before worked just fine. I tried updating/reinstalling and looking for solutions, not fixing it.

Why is the filter missing? How can I debug this? Should I doe the task using another program entirely?

Command output:

Solution

  • Your ffmpeg is too old

    You need at least version 4.3 to use the v360 filter (see Changelog). For Linux you can download a new version or compile it yourself.

    The online documentation is synced with the latest code (git master branch). So releases may not have features mentioned in the online documentation. Refer to your locally installed documentation if you are stuck using an old release: man ffmpeg-filters
