ok,
nicolas do you want to work on this ?

if not, question is what is preferred
apply the patch with all other review comments taken care of or
not apply the patch that is wait for someone to extend dualinput to
support >2 inputs some of which optional and update the filter to use
it

?

I think the split filter suggestion can easily be done later and would
be more user friendly that way. That is we could just add a 3rd
mode which does not change the frame but just exports metadata.
That way the common use case requires just 1 filter while it still
could export metadata in case theres some other filter which could
do something with it

Thanks
