Filters and 2-pass encoding

[leoncheong]

This should be a newbie but I could't find any ans.. so here it goes:

If I want to do a two pass encoding, when should I add the filters? On the 1-pass or the 2-pass?

Both.

The first pass analyses the video. The second pass encodes the video. For the analysis to be accurate (and usable!), both passes must use the same filters and codec settings.

Thanks Acaila!
