+@item -autoscale
+Automatically scale the video according to the resolution of first frame.
+Enabled by default, use @option{-noautoscale} to disable it. When autoscale is
+disabled, all output frames of filter graph might not be in the same resolution
+and may be inadequate for some encoder/muxer. Therefore, it is not recommended
+to disable it unless you really know what you are doing.
