• Why do I get a black box when I tile pictures with -filter_complex tile=2x1 in FFmpeg?

  19 June 2016, by Mateusz Piotrowski

  As I was trying to write a script (which attempts to join two pictures eventually) using FFmpeg I came across a very weird behaviour.

  I’ve found a command in an accepted answer for the very same problem I had (How to join two image into one by ffmpeg?):

  ffmpeg -i a.jpg -i b.jpg -filter_complex scale=120:-1,tile=2x1 output.jpg

  • Input: a.jpg, b.jpg

    

  • Output: output.jpg

    

  What happened to the B cat? Why is it missing from the output image? I couldn’t find any information why tile=2x1 behaves like this.

• FFmpeg: How to convert vertical/horizontal video (any size) with black sides, to 1080x1350 vertical video with blurred background sides/bottom-top

  12 October 2023, by devweb

  i've been trying to make a ffmpeg 'filter_complex' code to make what i need but i can't, i've used some codes here on stack but non works for what i need, each is like for a different size/dimension.
I'm trying to make videos like Instagram posts (tallest allowed): 1080 x 1350

  


  Bassically, horizontal videos with blurred sides or bottom-top.

  


  Any help will be awesome, thanks!

  


  This is the principal which i tried

  


  Something like this:

  


  Example 1
Example 2

  


  Here some codes i tried to worked with and changing stuff:
filter_complex='[0:v]scale=1080*2:1350*2,boxblur=luma_radius=min(h\\,w)/20:luma_power=1:chroma_radius=min(cw\\,ch)/20:chroma_power=1[bg];[0:v]scale=-1:1080[ov];[bg][ov]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2,crop=w=1080:h=1350'

  


  filter_complex='[0:v]scale=ih*5/4:-1,crop=h=iw*4/5,gblur=sigma=20[blurred];[blurred][0:v]overlay=(main_w-overlay_w)/2:(main_h-overlay_h)/2'

  


  filter_complex='[0:v]scale=1080:1350,setsar=1,gblur=sigma=20[blurred];[blurred][0:v]overlay=(main_w-overlay_w)/2:(main_h-overlay_h)/2'

  


• Keep trying a command until it returns "True" and then execute another

  6 January 2023, by Tyrone Hirt

  I'm trying to make a script to check the processor usage for a specific process every 10 seconds, and when the usage is less than 2% I want another 2 commands to be executed.

  


  The purpose is to know when the program has finished processing the requests, in order to release the execution of the other commands.

  


  I created this script to check the processor usage by this application:

  


  SET ProcessorUsage = wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime | findstr /i /c:RenderQuery

%ProcessorUsage%


  


  And these are the commands I want to be executed when the processor usage of the RenderQuery application is less than 2%:

  


  for /f "delims=" %%X in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do for /f "delims=" %%Y in ('dir /s/b/a-d "%%X"') do move "%%Y" ".\03. Proxy"

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do rd "%%i"


  


  I tried to create a script that way here:

  


  SET ProcessorUsage = wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime | findstr /i /c:RenderQuery
:Loop
IF %ProcessorUsage% LSS 2 (
(for /f "delims=" %%X in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do for /f "delims=" %%Y in ('dir /s/b/a-d "%%X"') do move "%%Y" ".\03. Proxy") && (for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do rd "%%i")
) ELSE (
sleep 10 && goto Loop
)


  


  I also tried this way here:

  


  SET ProcessorUsage = wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime | findstr /i /c:RenderQuery

:Loop
for %ProcessorUsage% LSS 2 do (
(for /f "delims=" %%X in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do for /f "delims=" %%Y in ('dir /s/b/a-d "%%X"') do move "%%Y" ".\03. Proxy") && (for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do rd "%%i") || (sleep 10 && goto Loop)
)


  


  With these scripts I tried to create the window that only blinks and closes right away...

  


  What's the best way to do this?

  


  EDIT

  


  Explaining in more detail: I work with video production, so I constantly need to render Proxy files, which are video files with low quality to be used during my video editing and replaced at the end of editing, this makes the much smoother video editing.

  


  Having said that, I have a folder model, inside this folder model there is a folder where I always download the video files from the camera and in that folder there is always a .bat file that opens all the video files in the software that generates proxy files of the camera's video files.

  


  This .bat file has this exact code:

  


  start "" "C:\Users\User\Downloads\FFmpeg_Batch_AV_Converter_Portable_2.8.4_x64\FFBatch.exe" -f "%~dp0\"


  


  When this software opens, it automatically renders the proxy files and their output is always in a child folder of the original files folder, and the name of the folder is Proxy.

  


  The issue is that I don't want them to be in several separate Proxy folders, so I created another .bat file that is in the parent folder of all video files, this script contains exactly these lines:

  


  for /f "delims=" %%X in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do for /f "delims=" %%Y in ('dir /s/b/a-d "%%X"') do move "%%Y" ".\03. Proxy"

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s/b/ad Proxy') do rd "%%i"


  


  That is, it only searches recursively for files that are inside folders named Proxy, then it moves these files to the folder 03. Proxy that is inside the parent folder.

  


  The second line looks for all proxy folders (which are now empty) and deletes them.

  


  The point is: I currently run the second script manually, as soon as the render finishes, and I would like it to run automatically.

  


  Given this, I thought of adding a line in the first script, which opens the video files in the rendering program, this line would call the second script in the background, and the second script would be analyzing the CPU usage of this application every 10 seconds, and when the usage is less than 2% (in theory there is nothing else rendering, since it has a low CPU usage) it executes the lines that move the files and remove the folders.

  


  I think there's a good change for this to work, because this software renders 4 videos at a time, and this means that there is no time between stopping rendering a video and starting another... the CPU usage is always very high until all the videos are finished, so I think this would be the best signal to release the other commands.
