I explored google and StackOverflow for how to add background music to the video and many of them suggested to use
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -shortest output.mp4
I have been trying to achieve this but it just does not work. When I try to add map like
ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -i bg.mp3 -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 oo.mp4
The video sound is replaced by the bg.mp3
And if I try -map 0 -map 1:a:0 or not provide map, the audio is not added at all.
How do I add the background music? I don't also get any error.
-map is a selector; select a type of stream from an input "file". To merge two audio streams, you need an audio filter:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -lavfi "[0:a][1:a]amerge[out]" -map 0:v -map [out]:a -shortest output.mp4
-lavfi: Same as -filter_complex, because you have two inputs
[0:a][1:a] take audio stream from the first and second inputs
-map 0:v select the video stream from the first input without processing
-map [out]:a select the audio stream from the filtergraph (processed)
The shortest option in the amerge filter is set by default.
If you have problems, you might want to check also the amix filter, the audio codecs of your files, and the volume filter to adjust the volume of the inputs in the filtergraph.

If the video length is longer than music you can add "-stream_loop -1" to repeat music until end of video
ffmpeg -i video_with_audio.mkv -stream_loop -1 -i background_music.mp3 -lavfi "[0:a][1:a]amerge[out]" -map 0:v -map [out]:a -shortest video_with_audio_and_background_music.mkv
If you want increase or decrease the volume, follow this command:
ffmpeg -i video_with_audio.mkv -stream_loop -1 -i background_music.mp3 -lavfi "[1:a]volume=0.2,apad[A];[0:a][A]amerge[out]" -map 0:v -map [out]:a -shortest video_with_audio_and_background_music.mkv
I have a around 30 minutes mp4 file and 1h30m mp3 file, let's say I need to replace mp4 file's audio with part of mp3 file, for example, starting from 30m00s.
I have used the following ffmpeg command which works for replacing the mp3 to mp4's audio but not specify the starting time.
How could I modify it? Thanks.
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i input.mp3 -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 256k -shortest output.mp4
Add -ss input option:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:30:00 -i input.mp3 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 256k -shortest -movflags +faststart output.mp4
I'm using the following command to combine two video files together, overlaying the second one at a certain point in the first file. The result is what I want except the audio from the overlayed file is missing.
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -ss 00:00:00.067 -i promo.mov -i tag.mov -filter_complex "[1:v]setpts=PTS+6.5/TB[a];[0:v][a]overlay=enable=gte(t\,6.5)[out]" -map [out] -map 0:a -map 1:a -c:v mpeg2video -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -af loudnorm=I=-20:print_format=summary -preset ultrafast -q:v 0 -t 10 complete.mxf
Without the -map 0:a I get no audio at all, but the second -map 1:a does not pass the audio from -i tag.mov
I have also tried amix but that combines audio from both clips starting at the beginning, and I want the audio from the second file to begin when that file starts overlaying.
It would also be helpful if I could make the audio from the first clip drop lower at the time of the overlay.
amix doesn't support introducing an input mid-way, so the workaround is to add leading silence. You can use the adelay filter to do this.
make the audio from the first clip drop lower at the time of the overlay
This is possible using a sidechaincompressor which takes two inputs and lowers the volume of the first input based on the volume of the second input.
So use,
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -ss 00:00:00.067 -i promo.mov -i tag.mov -filter_complex "[1:v]setpts=PTS+6.5/TB[1v];[0:v][1v]overlay=enable=gte(t\,6.5)[vout];[1:a]adelay=6.5s,apad,asplit=2[1amix][1aref];[0:a][1aref]sidechaincompress[0asc];[0asc][1amix]amix=inputs=2:duration=first[aout]" -map [vout] -map [aout] -c:v mpeg2video -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -af loudnorm=I=-20:print_format=summary -preset ultrafast -q:v 0 -t 10 complete.mxf
I'm trying to merge 2 audio files (.wav with video file .mp4) to produce the output in video.mp4 extension using ffmpeg on Windows CMD.
This is what I have tried :
ffmpeg -i V.MP4 -i A1.WAV -i A2.WAV -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 2:a -c:v copy -vcodec copy Output.MP4
The CMD output for that is :
This command will output the Output.mp4 file but it will merge the video with only 1 of the audio files which is A2.wav and ignores the other audio file A1.wav
I want to merge without re-encoding or any offset, just merging the 3 files as they are in a file one .mp4 file.
I checked some topics here in stackoverflow like this and this but they didn't help.
In order to mixdown the audio, you should use the amix filter
ffmpeg -i V.MP4 -i A1.WAV -i A2.WAV -filter_complex "[1][2]amix=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy Output.MP4
I used a command like:
ffmpeg -i video.avi -i audio.mp3 -vcodec codec -acodec codec output_video.avi -newaudio
in latest version for adding new audio track to video (not mix).
But I updated the ffmpeg to the newest version (ffmpeg version git-2012-06-16-809d71d) and now in this version the parameter -newaudio doesn't work.
Tell me please how I can add new audio to my video (not mix) using ffmpeg.
Replace audio
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mp4
The -map option allows you to manually select streams / tracks. See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more info.
This example uses -c:v copy to stream copy (mux) the video. No re-encoding of the video occurs. Quality is preserved and the process is fast.
If your input audio format is compatible with the output format then change -c:v copy to -c copy to stream copy both the video and audio.
If you want to re-encode video and audio then remove -c:v copy / -c copy.
The -shortest option will make the output the same duration as the shortest input.
Add audio
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.mp3 -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mkv
The -map option allows you to manually select streams / tracks. See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more info.
This example uses -c:v copy to stream copy (mux) the video. No re-encoding of the video occurs. Quality is preserved and the process is fast.
If your input audio format is compatible with the output format then change -c:v copy to -c copy to stream copy both the video and audio.

Mixing/combining two audio inputs into one
Use video from video.mkv. Mix audio from video.mkv and audio.m4a using the amerge filter:
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.m4a -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -ac 2 -shortest output.mkv
See FFmpeg Wiki: Audio Channels for more info.
Generate silent audio
You can use the anullsrc filter to make a silent audio stream. The filter allows you to choose the desired channel layout (mono, stereo, 5.1, etc) and the sample rate.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -f lavfi -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=44100 \
-c:v copy -shortest output.mp4

FFmpeg mux video and audio from another video
mp3 music to wav
ffmpeg -i music.mp3 music.wav
truncate to fit video
ffmpeg -i music.wav -ss 0 -t 37 musicshort.wav
mix music and video
ffmpeg -i musicshort.wav -i movie.avi final_video.avi
If the input video has multiple audio tracks and you need to add one more then use the following command:
ffmpeg -i input_video_with_audio.avi -i new_audio.ac3 -map 0 -map 1 -codec copy output_video.avi
-map 0 means to copy (include) all streams from the first input file (input_video_with_audio.avi) and -map 1 means to include all streams (in this case one) from the second input file (new_audio.ac3).
None of these solutions quite worked for me. My original audio was being overwritten, or I was getting an error like "failed to map memory" with the more complex 'amerge' example. It seems I needed -filter_complex amix.
ffmpeg -i videowithaudioyouwanttokeep.mp4 -i audiotooverlay.mp3 -vcodec copy -filter_complex amix -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -b:a 144k out.mkv
Nothing quite worked for me (I think it was because my input .mp4 video didn't had any audio) so I found this worked for me:
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -i balipraiavid.wav -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 output.mp4
This shows how to merge all audio tracks into one entire directory with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mp4
Here is how I did what the OP wanted.
My setup is I have two stream of media one video (with its own audio channel) & one audio. I am not converting from but I am restreaming live source by integrating it with an additional audio channel without replacing the old audio from the video stream.
Here is the code I used.
ffmpeg -i "Video stream with its own audio" -i "another audio stream" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -f mpegts "multicast udp stream out put"
what the code does is, it maps each video and audio channels after it acquired the streams from the live source. -map 0:v is the video stream, -map 0:a is the audio that is coming from the video source (notice the 0s from the -map) and finally -map 1:a which is the audio stream from the second source.
then it just restreams it using mpegts through a multicast address. You can change this to a file, a unicast stream or any other supported output format.
Here is the code I am using.
ffmpeg -i "rtp://#231.0.0.208:1234" -i "rtp://#231.0.0.206:1234" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -f mpegts "udp://#231.0.0.45:1234"
Hope this helps some one. Thanks!
If you are using an old version of FFMPEG and you cant upgrade you can do the following:
ffmpeg -i PATH/VIDEO_FILE_NAME.mp4 -i PATH/AUDIO_FILE_NAME.mp3 -vcodec copy -shortest DESTINATION_PATH/NEW_VIDEO_FILE_NAME.mp4
Notice that I used -vcodec
Code to add audio to video using ffmpeg.
If audio length is greater than video length it will cut the audio to video length.
If you want full audio in video remove -shortest from the cmd.
String[] cmd = new String[]{"-i", selectedVideoPath,"-i",audiopath,"-map","1:a","-map","0:v","-codec","copy", ,outputFile.getPath()};
private void execFFmpegBinaryShortest(final String[] command) {
final File outputFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/videoaudiomerger/"+"Vid"+"output"+i1+".mp4");
String[] cmd = new String[]{"-i", selectedVideoPath,"-i",audiopath,"-map","1:a","-map","0:v","-codec","copy","-shortest",outputFile.getPath()};
try {
ffmpeg.execute(cmd, new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {
#Override
public void onFailure(String s) {
System.out.println("on failure----"+s);
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(String s) {
System.out.println("on success-----"+s);
}
#Override
public void onProgress(String s) {
//Log.d(TAG, "Started command : ffmpeg "+command);
System.out.println("Started---"+s);
}
#Override
public void onStart() {
//Log.d(TAG, "Started command : ffmpeg " + command);
System.out.println("Start----");
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
System.out.println("Finish-----");
}
});
} catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
// do nothing for now
System.out.println("exceptio :::"+e.getMessage());
}
}
The marked answer does not set the audio track's language.
The following is an example that specifies German for the default audio track (the video's only audio channel) and English for the audio track that is added anew:
ffmpeg -i "/dir/video.mkv" -i "/dir2/audio.ac3" -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest -metadata:s:a:0 language=ger -metadata:s:a:0 title="GER" -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -metadata:s:a:1 title="ENG" "/dir/output.mkv"
(The s:a:0 starts counting from 0, adjust that number as needed. If the audio track language is already specified, you don't need to set it and would only need to set it for the audio track that you add.)
