• End the video when the overlay video is finished

  2 December, by Christian Safka

  I have an overlayed video which can be longer or shorter than the background video.

  Case 1: If the background video is longer, the video should end when the overlayed video is over.

  Case 2: If the background video is shorter, it should repeat the last frame of the video until the overlayed video is over.

  With the shortest=1 and eof_action commands I haven't been able to achieve this without compromising one of the above cases. For example with shortest=1 in the overlay command, case #1 works but in case #2, both videos freeze when the background video ends while the audio plays out.

  Note that only the overlayed video has audio. Thanks!

• Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - Python

  2 December, by goldie

  I'm working on a captcha solver and I need to use ffmpeg, though nothing works. Windows 10 user.

  Warning when running the code for the first time:

  C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\pydub\utils.py:170: RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work
    warn("Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work", RuntimeWarning)
  

  Then, when I tried running the script anyway and it required ffprobe, I got the following error:

  C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\pydub\utils.py:198: RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffprobe or avprobe - defaulting to ffprobe, but may not work
    warn("Couldn't find ffprobe or avprobe - defaulting to ffprobe, but may not work", RuntimeWarning)

  I tried downloading it normally, editing environment variables, pasting them in the same folder as the script, installing with pip, tested ffmpeg manually to see if it works and indeed it converted a mkv to mp4, however my script has no intention of running

• ffmpeg - create a morph video between 2 images (png solid hex color) 0.55 seconds for a length of 10 seconds

  2 December, by iceget

  currently i create with imagick (convert -size 640x480 xc:#FF000 hex1.png and hex2.png) 2 png images and save both png files.

  now i need the following (but i have no idea how i can do that (maybe ffmpeg?)):

  create a video 640x480 for example a length of 10 seconds like this method: 0.00s (hex1) > 0.55s (hex2) > 1.10s (hex1) > 1.65s (hex2) > 2.2s (hex1).... until the 10 seconds has reached.

  the hex1 and hex2 images should always morph/fade from hex1 => hex2 => hex1, ...

  but the time is very critical. the time must be exact always have 0.55.

  maybe i can create on same way direct the HEX colors without creating first a png image for that purposes.

  can anybody helps me how i can do that best way?

  thank you so much and many greets iceget

  currently i have created only a single image with that function: ffmpeg -loop 1 -i hex1.png -c:v libx264 -t 10 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.mp4

• Batch File: How can I make input videos to be sequentially named in same loop

  2 December, by Ionut Bejinariu

  I end up with the code in this form.

  the first ffmpeg .. its working alone but not inside the second For that's why I made a second one, also I did this because I need to increment the Videos-* to be be Videos-1.mp4, Videos-2.mp4 ... Videos-99.mp4 , all the videos are in %videodir% named like this.

  I tried also "%videodir%\Videos-%d.mp4" also "%videodir%\*.mp4" for videos to be sequentially named loop after loop, but not worked for me.

  @echo off
  setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
   
  set "musicdir=F:\MONTAJ VIDEO\video-simplu\MUZICA-wav-mp3"  
  set "videodir=F:\LUCRU-VIDEO\primele-15sec"  
  set "exportdir=E:\Export-yt-shorts
  
  for /l %%c in (1,1,2200) Do (
   
    ffmpeg -i "%videodir%\Videos-%%c.mp4" -i "%videodir%\Videos-%%c.mp4" -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=3413:1920,boxblur=4[bg];[1:v]scale=1080:-1[fg];[bg][fg]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2[tmp];[tmp]crop=1080:1920:(3413-1080)/2:0[out]" -map [out] -map 0:a output01.mp4
   
  )
  
      for %%A in ("%musicdir%\*") DO (
     ffmpeg -i output01.mp4 -i "%%A" -map 0:v -map 1:a -vcodec copy -c:a aac -b:a 320k -shortest "%exportdir%\%%~nA.mp4"
      del output01.mp4
   )
  
  
  

  Can anyone help me on this? Thank you Later Edit: I want to explain the logic I thought about the two FOR

  I have two folders. -- 1 folders with mp4 videos wide ratio 16/9 Full HD

  are named like this ---> Videos-1.mp4, Videos-2.mp4 .. Videos-3.mp4 ... Videos-2200.mp4

  and 1 folder with music mp3 and wav's

  in first for its first mp4 export that I want to combine with first song from the second for then second video with second song from folder. etc

  in the end I want to have 9/16 ratio video
