Mix

Video Single output Transform

Mix video inputs.

FFmpeg filter: mix — the official reference.

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

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

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

$result = $video->apply(new Mix(…), $other);

When to use it

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.

How to use it

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

Examples

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