How do you change the YUV in FFMPEG?

I learned that FFMPEG will default to YUV 4:2:0 as opposed to the newer 4:4:4 but how do you change it so that FFMPEG will use 4:2:0?

Code:

-pix_fmt yuv420p

Use:

Code:

ffmpeg -pix_fmts

To get a list of supported formats:

Code:

Pixel formats:
I.... = Supported Input  format for conversion
.O... = Supported Output format for conversion
..H.. = Hardware accelerated format
...P. = Paletted format
....B = Bitstream format
FLAGS NAME            NB_COMPONENTS BITS_PER_PIXEL
