This looks pretty awesome..
I was hoping this was about the command-line tool, which is quite daunting to learn once you start getting into the filters and combining/merging multiple audio and video sources.
In a recent project I eventually had to write a script to do 2 passes of ffmpeg after spending a good day trying to figure my way through all the filter documentation to do a 5-step process in one pass..
This isn't a knock against ffmpeg, which is an amazing open source package, but it's complicated, so I'm sure this repo will be of great help to many.
- exikyut 9y agoThe ffmpeg commandline tool is ultimately just a frontend to all the internals. So understanding how everything works internally will translate directly to a better grasp on how to use ffmpeg at the commandline. Even though this document is very new I now understand why fiddling with the PTS value in the filtergraph would slow down/speed up some video I was tinkering with a while back, for example.
