Here's mine for doing crab videos ffmpeg -ss 66 -i crab.mp4 -t 30 -crf 27 -preset veryfast -vf "drawtext=fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf:text='YOUR TEXT HERE':fontcolor=white:fontsize=240:shadowx=5:shadowy=5:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.0:boxborderw=5:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:enable='between(t,9,30)',scale=iw/3:ih/3" -c:v libx264 -filter:a "volume=0.2" -c:a libmp3lame output.mp4 You just need to get the original crab rave video from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDU_Txk06tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDU_Txk06tM You might also need to supply your own font path I'm not sure how universal they are.

When I switched to Linux and started using FFmpeg, the idea of automating video production (this thing that was so time intensive in my mind) was so appealing. This is an awesome little example. What a damn good piece of software.

  Just wait until you try out Gstreamer (and suffer a few weeks learning it! I don't even remember C++ being so painful)

I downloaded the video (720p) and I have to tweak slightly the command to make it work on MacOS Catalina (FFmpeg installed via brew) ffmpeg -ss 66 -i crab.mp4 -t 30 -crf 27 -preset veryfast \ -vf "drawtext=fontfile=~/Library/Fonts/SF-Compact-Display-Bold.otf:text='YOUR TEXT HERE':fontcolor=white:fontsize=68:shadowx=5:shadowy=5:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.0:boxborderw=5:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:enable='between(t,9,30)'" \ -c:v libx264 -filter:a "volume=0.2" output.mp4 Thank you very much, crazy how powerful but hard is FFmpeg.

  Ah yes! Sorry the settings I posted are for the original crab rave music video in 4k.

If you don't mind my asking... what's a crab video

  You afix a caption describing an unfortunate scenario onto the song for comical juxtaposition, since the Crab Rave song itself is jovial sounding. For example, one might add the caption "I got fired".
