Comment (by Michael Koch):
This note might also be helpful:
The random generator does always reproduce the same sequence of random
numbers.
If you want a different sequence each time FFmpeg is started, you can
randomize the generator by using the realtime clock as seed:
st(0,1e6*time(0));
The factor 1e6 is required to make sure that multiple threads are
initialized with different seed values. This factor can be omitted if the
number of threads is limited to 1 with -filter_threads 1.
