[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 6/6] lavfi/vf_libplacebo: add frame_mixer option

[Niklas Haas <ffmpeg@haasn.xyz>]

From: Niklas Haas <git@haasn.dev>

Fairly straightforward. We just need to modify the scaler handling code
slightly to support looking at a different list of filter presets.

+@item frame_mixer
+Controls the kernel used for mixing frames temporally. The default value is
+@code{none}, which disables frame mixing. For a full list of possible values,

+@table @samp
+@item none
+Disables frame mixing, giving a result equivalent to "nearest neighbour"
+semantics.
+
+@item oversample
+Oversamples the input video to create a "Smooth Motion"-type effect: if an
+output frame would exactly fall on the transition between two video frames, it
+is blended according to the relative overlap. This is the recommended option
+whenever preserving the original subjective appearance is desired.
+
+@item mitchell_clamp
+Larger filter kernel that smoothly interpolates multiple frames in a manner
+designed to eliminate ringing and other artefacts as much as possible. This is
+the recommended option wherever maximum visual smoothness is desired.

+@item linear
+Linear blend/fade between frames. Especially useful for constructing e.g.
