+
+Estimate and export motion vectors using D3D12 hardware-accelerated motion estimation.
+This filter uses GPU hardware motion estimation capabilities available in
+DirectX 12 Video APIs to achieve significant performance improvements
+over the software-based @code{mestimate} filter.
+
+Motion vectors are stored in frame side data to be used by other filters.
+
+This filter requires the input to be in @code{d3d12} hardware pixel format.
+The filter uses quarter-pixel precision for motion vector estimation.
+
+This filter accepts the following options:
+@table @option
+@item mb_size
+Macroblock size. Only @code{8} and @code{16} are supported.
+Default @code{16}.

+@subsection Examples
+
+Estimate motion vectors using D3D12 hardware acceleration with 16x16 blocks,
+and visualize them:
+@example
+ffmpeg -hwaccel d3d12va -hwaccel_output_format d3d12 -i input.mp4 \
