Create tape distortion effects with FFmpeg
up vote

I've been attempting to create video that looks like it's been distorted by a tape player. A specific example of the effect I'm after is the tape distortion effects in this video, but general tape distortion is the main thing.
I cannot work out a way to do that with just FFmpeg (and potentially frei0r filters) though. Is there a way to do that, or am I stuck? I'm just looking for video distortion, as I can do audio distortion just fine with my current tools.
Things I have attempted so far:
- strange combinations of blend modes in Kdenlive
- the chromashift filter in FFmpeg
- converting the video to uncompressed YUV, messing with the file using Audacity, and then converting back to mp4 (this produced interesting results but not ones I was looking for)
- separating the video into its component channels, messing with levels and position, and then recomposing it

The most prominent effect I see is an embossing effect.
That can be carried out using ffmpeg's convolution filter as follows:
ffmpeg -i in -vf convolution="-2 -1 0 -1 1 1 0 1 2:-2 -1 0 -1 1 1 0 1 2:-2 -1 0 -1 1 1 0 1 2:-2 -1 0 -1 1 1 0 1 2" -c:a copy out
I've taken the coefficients straight from the docs at https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#convolution

You might be looking for the
frei0r plugin of FFmpeg.
An example for adding the frei0r parameter is -vf frei0r=pixeliz0r?....
If you wish to examine the various effects in action, demonstrations
can be found in the blog article
Experiments with FFmpeg Filters and Frei0r Plugin Effects.

Is there a way to do that, or am I stuck?Then your answer points to the already known tool, gives a generic example and a link. What? Even if any solution to the specific problem is in the linked article, the answer is link-only at best.

@KamilMaciorowski: "I cannot work out a way to do" is not very informative, so I wish this answer to start a dialog about what is he doing that is different from the documentation or from the article, although the information in both links should be enough.

OK, I can see your point. If the OP states this generic answer is what they want then I will revoke my downvote. If the question is improved and it demands a specific answer, and your answer is edited to address this, then I will revoke my downvote (and possibly vote up, this scenario would be the best). Please leave me a comment when these conditions apply so I can fulfill my promise.
