Yes, I know that Paul has added command support to many filters and I 
really appreciate this work!
Paul, is it possible to add command support also for the despill filter?
I'm asking because I've written a C# tool for bluescreening in real 
time. The foreground video comes from a camera via HDMI to USB converter 
(these cheap chinese converters are great!). The background comes from a 
file and is played in an endless loop. I have attached a screenshot. The 
color bars are the built-in test image from the HDMI to USB converter. 
All parameters can be adjusted with the scrollbars in real time and are 
sent to the FFmpeg process as zmq messages. It's already running fine. 
The only problem is that the despill parameters can't be updated in real 
time. They become effective after stopping and re-starting FFmpeg (which 
takes about 2 seconds).

If you want to see how this was programmed, have a look at chapter 2.56 
of my book:
