+
+For double pass processing you need to first run the filter with
+ at code{print_format} set to either @code{json} or @code{summary}, then read
+the values in the output and pass it to the next run of the filter:
+
+ at example
+$ ffmpeg -i file.mov -map 0:a -af loudnorm=I=-13:TP=-1:print_format=summary -f null -
+
+[...]
+Input Integrated:     -9.0 LUFS
+Input True Peak:      +1.5 dBTP
+Input LRA:             9.4 LU
+Input Threshold:     -19.5 LUFS
+ at end example
+
+Then pass the input measurements to the next run that produces the result:
+
+ at example
+ffmpeg -i file.mov -af loudnorm=I=-13:TP=-1:measured_I=-9.0:measured_TP=1.5:measured_LRA=9.4:measured_thresh=-19.5:print_format=summary out.mov
+ at end example

 Apply a low-pass filter with 3dB point frequency.
