# FFMPEG tips
## выдрать звук и сохранить в mp3 с высшим качеством
```bash
ffmpeg -i inputfile -q:a 0 outputfile.mp3
```
## Масштабирование
Без сохранения aspect ratio
```bash
ffmpeg -i complex.mov -crf 20 -vf scale=640:360 complex-small.mp4
```
С сохранением aspect ratio
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.jpg -vf scale=320:-1 output_320.png
```
Some codecs require the size of width and height to be кратны *n*.
Для этого в качестве высоты надо установить *-n*.
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.jpg -vf scale=320:-2 output_320.png
```

## concat files
```bash
ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy complex.mov
```
mylist.txt:
```ini
file filename1
#comment
file filename2
....
```
## speedup without sound
```bash
ffmpeg -i o1-20.mp4 -an -filter:v "setpts=0.25*PTS" o-fast.mp4
ffmpeg -i complex-small.mp4 -movflags +faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 20 -an -filter:v "setpts=0.2*PTS" complex-fast.mp4
```
## speedup with sound
```bash
ffmpeg -i complex-small.mp4 -movflags +faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 20 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.125*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" compex-fast-big.mp4
```
## crop
Use the crop filter:
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=out_w:out_h:x:y" out.mp4
```
To crop a 80x60 section, starting from position (200, 100):
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=80:60:200:100" -c:a copy out.mp4
```
The audio is stream copied in this example, so re-encoding is avoided.
To crop the bottom right quarter:
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=in_w/2:in_h/2:in_w/2:in_h/2" -c:a copy out.mp4
```
This is the same as:
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=320/2:240/2:320/2:240/2" -c:a copy out.mp4
```
Which is the same as:
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=240:120:240:120" -c:a copy out.mp4
```
You can refer to the input image size with in_w and in_h as shown in this first example. The output width and height can also be used with out_w and out_h.
Crop 20 pixels from the top, and 20 from the bottom:
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=in_w:in_h-40" -c:a copy out.mp4
```
The filter will automatically center the crop if x and y are omitted such as in this example.
Preview:
```bash
ffplay -i input -vf "crop=in_w:in_h-40"
```
## Яркость/контраст/гамма/насыщенность
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf eq=gamma=0.5:saturation=0.3 -crf 5 -y out.mp4
```
## crop и сохранение в animated gif
```bash
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter:v "crop=300:800:200:-400" -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -y tower1.gif
```
## Сохранение в webm для стикеров telegram
Надо constant quality, не constrained, поэтому `-b:v 0`.
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 30 -b:v 0 output.webm
```
Ещё вариант с масштабом жестким без сохранения aspect ratio:
```bash
ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -framerate 30 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -an -vf scale=512:512 -pix_fmt yuva420p output_sticker.webm
```
## cut
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.wmv -ss 00:00:30.0 -c copy -t 00:00:10.0 output.wmv
ffmpeg -i input.wmv -ss 30 -c copy -t 10 output.wmv
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 30 -to 40 output.mp4
```
You can also put -ss before -i !!!
The -t option doesn't work for short videos, but it does for longer videos.
For short videos it seems that -frames:v is better. This is what worked for me.
```bash
ffmpeg -ss 4 -i input.mp4 -frames:v 200 -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4
```
For me -t option didn't work, but -vframes worked.
I prefer using #frames, since I would rather cut at
I-Frames and I found out GOP for video using ffprobe.
The command line that worked for me is:
```bash
ffmpeg -ss 60s -i input.wmv -vframes 1800 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.wmv
```
By the way, putting -ss in the front of -i makes a big difference in execution time.
**Inaccurate seek**:
```bash
ffmpeg -noaccurate_seek -ss 120 -i input.mp4 -y -vcodec copy -acodec copy -to 8 -avoid_negative_ts make_zero output.mp4
```
# For browser
```bash
ffmpeg -i input_file -q:v 4 -q:a 7 -movflags +faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -acodec libvorbis -vcodec libtheora output.ogv
```
After that create html file:
