2182	Padding options lack documentation	matteosistisette		"http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

ALL is said about padding is:

{{{
‘-padtop size’
‘-padbottom size’
‘-padleft size’
‘-padright size’
‘-padcolor hex_color’
All the pad options have been removed. Use -vf pad=width:height:x:y:color instead.
}}}

Not a word about the exact meaning of each of the height, width, x and y parameters. Is width the added width or the total width of original video plus padding? How are the x and y offset measured? Are these options applicable to input, output, or both? How do they combine with ""-s""? The answers are FAR from obvious and MUST be addressed.

The only way to figure out with such documentation is by testing."	defect	closed	minor	documentation	unspecified	invalid					0	0
