I have tested it and it works to send constant values to the v360 
filter, but it doesn't work to send an expression, as in the 3rd line of 
this *.cmd file. With overlay filter this method works fine.

0.00-1.00 v360 yaw 0;
1.00-2.00 v360 yaw 60;
2.00-4.00 v360 yaw 'lerp(60,120,t-2)';

I understand it doesn't work because v360 doesn't accept expressions.
Would it be possible to evaluate the expression already in sendcmd, and 
then send the result to the target filter?

A workaround would be to write many lines in the *.cmd file, one line 
for each frame.
