FFmpeg, an open source command line tool for processing audio and video files.
It was created by Fabrice Ballard in the year 2000.
The name stands for fast forward, followed by the Moving Picture Experts Group file format.
Today, it's used in a wide variety of tools like Google Chrome and Blender, as well as video platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.
It's able to decode, encode, transcode, multiplex, demultiplex, urine filter and play for virtually any multimedia file in the world, with over 100 different codecs supported.
It works by taking an input file, then passes it to a Yirteaplexer that splits the audio and video tracks into separate encoded data packets.
These packets are then decoded into uncompressed frames, which can be further processed and filtered.
You might modify the brightness and contrast, add subtitles, or visualize the audio as a waveform.
Then finally, these frames are coded and multiplexed back into the output file.
In addition, it also comes with the f f play tool to easily play media from the command line and FFprobe to extract metadata from a file.
In addition to tons of low level libraries for developers building their own multimedia processing software.
To get started, install it, then open up the terminal.
Use the ffmpeg command followed by I to supply 1 or more input files.
To convert that file to a different format.
Simply provide the name of the output.
It will automatically detect the file extension and convert it to the proper codec.
Or the c flag can be used to specify an explicit codec, like MPEG 4 for the video track and MP 3 for the audio.
You may also want to change the quality of the output file.
The b flag can change the bit 8, while the r flag can change the frame rate, and s can change the resolution.
In some cases, you may have multiple video clips that need to be combined together.
These clips can be listed in their own text file, then combined together by specifying the format as concat and the codec as copy.
Copy can also be used to make modifications to a video, like when used with t to trim a certain number of seconds off of the video footage.
But the most powerful option might be v f, which creates a filter graph that can handle informations like rotation and scaling, and color modifications like brightness and contrast, in addition to many other effects.
And if you have an SRT file for captions in your video.
FFmpeg is able to convert it to an AS file, which can then be used with the b f option to easily add subtitles to your video.
This has been FFmpeg in 100 seconds.
