 Below is a description of the currently available video filters.
 
+@section ablur
+
+Apply average blur filter.
+
+The filter accepts the following options:
+
+@table @option
+@item sizeX
+Set horizontal kernel size.
+
+@item planes
+Set which planes to filter. By default all planes are filtered.
+
+@item sizeY
+Set vertical kernel size, if zero it will be same as @code{sizeX}.
+Default is @code{0}.
+@end table
+
 @section alphaextract
 
 Extract the alpha component from the input as a grayscale video. This
