ffmpeg - Make a white line look thicker I've been actively playing around with ffmpeg for the past few days, and now I want to make an audio visualiser, just with the showwaves filter (I made it white using p2p mode, and I don't want to use a mode that would just fill the wave with white).

The problem with the showwaves filter is that it creates a very thin 1px line which makes it pretty hard to see when it varies really fast. At a low video bitrate it becomes almost invisible.

So I tried several ways to make this thin white line look thicker, including geq to increase alpha values, gblur+increasing contrast. For now I got the most "satisfying" results by making the size of the showwaves 10x smaller and then using scale to make it the size I want. But the result is very pixelated so that's not really suitable. I've also thought of duplicating the wave a lot and displacing the copies around but I don't think it would be very performance-friendly. 

So I was wondering whether there is anyway of adding some outline/glow/shadow/anything that would make this line look a bit thicker (like 5px would be enough), or anything else than showwaves that would somehow achieve what I'm looking for.

Thanks
Use one or more dilation filters after showwaves filter.
