In short order I got ffmpeg to read a video, apply a few filters (crop, color adjustments, sharpness, volume), and output a new file. The extensive documentation is a blessing to this new user.
After applying the filters, I would like to edit the video to shorten it. Specifically, I would like to take two non-overlapping segments from the middle of the video and concatenate them, ideally with a fade or other transition. I see -ss, -t, and -to for cutting an input file and the Concat demuxer for merging files. Would this method necessitate writing my filtered file out? I don't see how it could allow for a transition effect. I also see the select, split, and overlay filters. I'm not sure what else I would need or how to put it all together. I have much experience with images (imagemagick is great), but I don't fully grasp how to place clips in time or how to keep audio in sync. I couldn't find any examples of this. Where do I read next? I really appreciate any help! _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
