 Note that this option is global, since a complex filtergraph by its nature
 cannot be unambiguously associated with a single stream or file.
 
+The @option{-lavfi} option is equivalent to @option{-filter_complex}.

 A trivial example of a complex filtergraph is the @code{overlay} filter, which
 has two video inputs and one video output, containing one video overlaid on top
 of the other. Its audio counterpart is the @code{amix} filter.
