Smptebars
Video Single output Source
Generate SMPTE color bars.
FFmpeg filter:
smptebars— the official reference.
Generate a stream. Smptebars is a source — it has no input, so you create a stream from it rather than applying it to one:
$video = \FFmpeg\VideoStream::generate(new Smptebars(…));apply() and addFilter() do not apply to source filters (there is nothing to attach them to).

How to use it
