Standalone "Bit Depth Filter" may be really useful.
Filter that simply allow manually up/down convert "from" -> "to" bit depth of the video.
How it may be useful:
If some filter able to process data in 8/16/32 bit depth but source video is 8 bit, you can add Bit Depth filter at start and so all other filters in chain will work in high bit depth and provide slightly better processing quality, slightly smoother gradations, and better final render to something like 10 bit x265 in the end.
Sure some filters will not benefit from higher bit depth, but some other more complicated filters that restructure a lot of data may improve quality and may generate smoother shades and better gradations.
Also i guess it may be useful to add manual bit depth setting for FFV1 codec. Currently seems it always use bit depth of input video file and there is no way to change this.
