ffmpeg filter only applying to one video and not both

[Samuel]

I'm trying to compare two videos with different bit-depths, one is 8-bit and another is 10-bit. I noticed that when comparing both videos with different bit-depths, the 10-bit one has a colour shift in certain scenes. When using StaxRip to compare the videos, the colour shift is not there.

To combat this, I tried using -r format=yuv420p to convert all the videos to 8-bit when comparing. However, it only works in a certain order.
For example, launching with video-compare -r format=yuv420p 8bit.mkv 10bit.mkv works but launching with video-compare -r format=yuv420p 10bit.mkv 8bit.mkv doesn't work.

Is there a way to make the filter apply to both videos or am I comparing videos with different bit-depths incorrectly?

Hey @Kidsnd274,

For the latter case to work you need to use -l instead of -r since you are switching the order of the videos.
