I am trying to join 2-3 videos it's working when all video has audio or without audio...
Command= "-f concat -i files.txt -codec copy output.mp4"
File.txt
file '0.mp4'
file '1.mp4'
file '2.mp4'
Now the issue is when 0.mp4 is without audio and 1.mp4 is with audio and when i join these videos full audio lost in output.. output will be without audio.
I want this join with all as it is like if 0.mp4 without audio then audio will not play for this and 1.mp4 play audio should play...
Finally got the answer.. need to first add silent audio in video files that don't have audio
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=44100 -i 0.mp4 -shortest -c:v copy -c:a aac new_0.mp4
From here I concatenate as I did before, but replacing "0.mp4" in
File.txt with "new_0.mp4"
File.txt
file 'new_0.mp4'
file '1.mp4'
file '2.mp4'
Command= "-f concat -i files.txt -codec copy output.mp4"

everybody here! So basically this is what I want to achieve:
I have a muted video about 3 minutes long.
I have a list of audio tracks in mp3 format (40 songs in a folder with duration 2 to 6 mins each one)
I want this video to play cycled automatically taking songs from playlist and injecting them to the video one by one. Every time a song finishes the next one from the list should start playing at the moment. Video continues playing and doesn't care duration of tracks.
I consider it as the first step on the way to broadcast radio with a video background on youtube in 24/7 mode with ability to put additional tracks to playlist without need to stop translation.
My problem is that I'm new in FFmpeg and I would appreciate any suggestions regarding which FFMpeg topic to start investigate with in order to achieve my goal
Use the concat demuxer
You can do live updates to the playlist for the concat demuxer, but each audio file must have the same attributes, the same number of streams, and all be the same format.
Create input.txt containing:
ffconcat version 1.0
file 'audio1.mp3'
file 'audio2.mp3'
file 'audio3.mp3'
file 'audio40.mp3'
All file names must be "safe" or it will fail with Unsafe file name. Basically no special characters in file names and only use absolute paths. See concat demuxer for more info.
Run ffmpeg to stream to YouTube:
ffmpeg -re -framerate 10 -loop 1 -i image.jpg -re -f concat -i input.txt -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -vf format=yuv420p -c:a aac -g 20 -b:v 2000k -maxrate 2000k -bufsize 8000k -f flv rtmp://youtube
When you are ready to add new songs make temp.txt containing:
ffconcat version 1.0
file 'audio41.mp3'
file 'audio42.mp3'
file 'audio43.mp3'
Replace input.txt atomically:
mv temp.txt input.txt
See FFmpeg Wiki: Concatenate for lots more info.
If your audio files are not the same
The files listed in input.txt must all have the same:
Format (AAC, MP3, etc, but not mixed)
Sample rate (48000, 44100, etc)
Number of channels (mono, stereo, etc).
If they vary then you will have to pre-process them before adding them to the playlist. Bash example conforming each audio to stereo (-ac 2) with 44100 sample rate (-ar 44100) and save as AAC format in M4A container:
mkdir conformed
for f in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -map 0:a -ac 2 -ar 44100 -c:a aac "conformed/${f%.*}.m4a"; done
Outputting to AAC is recommended for streaming to YouTube.
If you do this then you can avoid re-encoding the audio in the ffmpeg command to YouTube. Just change -c:a aac to -c:a copy in step #2: Run ffmpeg to stream to YouTube.
I am using using ffmpeg to trim and join several audio files. The ouput audio file can be played as a normal file, but when I open it in some C# codes, exceptions are always throwing, says "MP3 Header is missing". I am new to ffmpeg and I googled for many times but seems no one is encountering this problem.
Here is my ffmpeg command to trim an audio file:
ffmpeg -i input_1.mp3 -ss 00:00:00.000 -to 00:00:01.000 -acodec libmp3lame 1.mp3
(The input audio format can be mp3/wma/wav/m4a/aac)
And the following is for joining all the audio files:
ffmpeg -safe 0 -f concat -i list.txt -acodec libmp3lame join.mp3
The list.txt contents:
file C:\\1.mp3
file C:\\2.mp3
file C:\\3.mp3
Problem soved! Thanks to Gyan's comment under my question.
The main point:
Make sure all converted files have same sampling rate and channel count i.e. add -ar 44100 -ac 2
The above parameters did solve my problem.
i have a couple of videos and i want to make them smaller to save some space... therefore i really would like to merge the audiotracks of file1 into file2
so that i can later on delete file1 because the picture content of both videos is the same...
Is there a way to accomplish that with ffmpeg? With this cmd i would have 2 video/audio tracks in one file so this is NOT what i want.
ffmpeg -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mp4 -c copy output.mp4
i only want the audio of file1 and the video and audio of file2 merge into one file...
Thanks
You need to use the map option:
ffmpeg -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mp4 -map 1 -map 0:a -c copy output.mp4
This selects all streams from the 2nd input and the audio streams from the first.
BTW, your command wouldn't have copied both audio and video tracks; only one audio and video from among both inputs. See https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-selection
I'm looking for a solution in FFmpeg to merge audio (mp3) with a short video loop, or gif.
I've already been able to generate a video from an image by joining with audio, but the video stays static frame for the audio duration, the command to make this:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i imagem.jpg -i audio.mp3 -vcodec h264 -tune stillimage -acodec aac -b:a 64k -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest video.mp4
I need video that has the duration of the audio, but that uses a loop of another mp4 or a gif. To keep repeating for the duration of the audio.
To do this with a video (MP4 or other format) you should use the Concatenate demuxer.
First create a text file with a list of the paths of the videos you want to concatenate. In your case it will be a list of the same video file, like the following.
# mylist.txt
file /your/path/video.mp4
file /your/path/video.mp4
file /your/path/video.mp4
The paths can be absolute or relative.
Then you need to use the concat demuxer option.
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mp4
This will generate an mp4 with your original video looping 3 times. If your original video is 4 seconds long, then the output will be 12 seconds long. I suggest that you create a video just a bit longer than your audio track and then use the -shortest option when creating your final video.
You can add the audio within this same command like you do in your post. So, all together will look like this:
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -i audio.mp3 -c:v copy -c:a copy -shortest output.mp4
In my example I do a stream copy for my output (this will work just fine and will be very fast), but you can use the codecs you want for yours (like H264 and AAC like your post).
You can find more info in the concat demuxer documentation or better yet the concat wiki.
At the moment I don't know if there's a way to do this with a gif file.
I am trying to cut a video in 2 parts then reassembling with ffmpeg but the final output has a small audio glitch right where the segments meet. I am using the following command to split the video 1.mp4 in 2 parts:
ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:02 -async 1 1-1.mp4
and
ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -ss 00:00:02 -t 00:00:02 -async 1 1-2.mp4
Once I have the 2 parts I am concatening them back together with:
ffmpeg -f concat -i files.txt -c copy output.mp4
files.txt is correctly listing both files. Can anyone point me to where the problem might be?
Thanks
The glitch is likely due to the audio priming sample showing up in between.
Since you're re-encoding the segments, you can do this in one command:
ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -filter_complex
"[0]trim=duration=2[v1];[0]trim=2:4,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v2];
[0]atrim=duration=2[a1];[0]atrim=2:4,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS[a2];
[v1][a1][v2][a2]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[v][a]"
-map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
I had the same problem for about 3 weeks.
just merge the mp3 files using sox
sox in1.mp3 in2.mp3 in3.mp3 out.mp3
When I used concat with FFMPEG it made 12.5ms (I saw them on using Audacity) audio gaps. (I don't know why)
Maybe for your case it'll be better to extract the audio and video to two separate files using ffmpeg, merge them (video using FFMPEG and audio using sox) then put the files together into one container (mp4) file
