• Software for intelligent video overlaying and tranformation [on hold]

  29 juin 2017, par raccounts

  I am looking for some software that will enable me to intelligently overlay video.

  Basically, I have 12 or so clips that all capture the same movement (a 360 orbit), but they all have minute differences as the videos were captured over the period of a year.

  Due to their differences, cutting between them is jarring. In order to align them, I have to scale, rotate, and warp the image so that the transition is decent.

  What’s some software that can automate this ?

  Would a 3D tracker be able to accomplish this ? I tried looking into AviSynth and Fusion, an accompanying plugin. Is FFMpeg the ticket ?

  Thank you in advance.

• ffmpeg libx264 non-existing PPS 0 referenced

  18 août 2014, par k961

  hello i have installed ffmpeg and libx264 based in the offical tutorial on ffmpeg installation here :

  i want to get an stream from mumudvb and pass it to ffmpeg for h264 encoding
  when i use

  ffserver -f /path/to/config -d

  i get this output :

  ffmpeg will gime me the output. but the prooblem is that the outputs bitrate is around 2000k to 3000k it should be 512k

• ADD Image overlay to ffmpeg video stream

  1er juillet 2017, par Chris

  I am new to ffmpeg and want to add an HUD to the video stream, so a few questions.

  1. What file do I need to edit.
  2. What do I need to do to achieve this.

  Thanks in advance. Also I am VERY new to all of this, I will need instructions step by step

  I saw other questions saying to add this : ffmpeg -n -i video.mp4 -i logo.png -filter_complex "[0:v]setsar=sar=1[v];[v][1]blend=all_mode='overlay':all_opacity=0.7" -movflags +faststart tmb/video.mp4

  But I dont know where to put it, i entered it in the terminal and got this :

  pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ffmpeg -n -i video.mp4 -i logo.png -filter_complex "[0:v]setsar=sar=1[v];[v][1]blend=all_mode='overlay':all_opacity=0.7" -movflags +faststart tmb/video.mp4
