At Transloadit, we are committed to providing our customers with cutting-edge technology, including regular updates to our back-end tools. We are excited to announce Transloadit's official support for the latest FFmpeg v6.0.0, codenamed 'Von Neumann'.

⚠️ Following the release of FFmpeg v6.0.0, we will be phasing out support for `v3.0.0` and `v4.3.1`. We recommend updating your Templates to `v6`. The exact`v6.0.0` stack value remains available as a legacy alias.

This release introduces new encoders, decoders, filters, and features while also streamlining future FFmpeg releases. Major FFmpeg versions will now be released annually, with deprecated APIs being removed after three releases. You can find the full changelog on the[FFmpeg website⁠](https://ffmpeg.org/).

## Testing out one of the new filters

Let's explore one of the exciting new features in this release.

One new filter that caught my eye is [pixelize⁠](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#pixelize) – which takes any video and pixelates it, creating an interesting mosaic effect.

The example Template below uses the `pixelize` filter to pixelate a video, then preserves the video's encoding using the `empty` preset, and finally exports the result straight to an S3 bucket.

```json
{
  ":original": {
    "robot": "/upload/handle"
  },
  "pixelate": {
    "use": ":original",
    "robot": "/video/encode",
    "result": true,
    "ffmpeg_stack": "v6",
    "preset": "empty",
    "ffmpeg": {
      "vf": "pixelize"
    }
  },
  "exported": {
    "use": ["pixelate", ":original"],
    "robot": "/s3/store",
    "credentials": "YOUR_AWS_CREDENTIALS",
    "url_prefix": "https://demos.transloadit.com/"
  }
}

```

We can execute an Assembly using the above Template from anywhere in the world without setting up any infrastructure to run FFmpeg. Since our machines use AWS behind the scenes too, the export Step to the S3 bucket is blisteringly fast.
