crop:left,top,right,bottom
.IP
removes pixels from the edges of the frame
.IP
resize:[width,height][,sar][,fittobox][,csp][,method]
.IP
resizes frames based on the given criteria:
\- resolution only: resizes and adapts sar to avoid stretching
\- sar only: sets the sar and resizes to avoid stretching
\- resolution and sar: resizes to given resolution and sets the sar
\- fittobox: resizes the video based on the desired constraints
.IP
\- width, height, both
.IP
\- fittobox and sar: same as above except with specified sar
\- csp: convert to the given csp. syntax: [name][:depth]
.IP
\- valid csp names [keep current]: i400, i420, yv12, nv12, nv21, i422, yv16, nv16, yuyv, uyvy, i444, yv24, bgr, bgra, rgb
