G'afternoon folks. Just joined and first time poster, so apologies upfront if this is a basic question, but I have searched this forum (and google) for a couple days and I cant find the answer
I'm trying to put together a video for my sons sports team banquet. I have been given an animated gif of a bunch of pictures taken over the year and the soundtrack that they use for each game in mp3. I have converted the animated gif into an mp4 using ffmpeg and it works fine. However, when I try use ffmpeg to create a single video with the pics and soundtrack merged, nothing I do works. I'd like to have the 'CombinedPics' file repeat until the 'Soundtrack' file ends. These are just some of the things I've tried: For the commands below, the files are: CombinedPics1.gif - animated gif with all of the combined pictures - About 10 mins long CombinedPics1.mp4 - the gif above converted to an mp4 using ffmpeg (works perfectly) Soundtrack.mp3 - A bunch of the songs they use when they come on the field - about 30 mins long Just some of the things I've tried...(there are countless other attempts as well) ./ffmpeg -i Soundtrack.mp3 -i CombinedPics1.mp4 -filter_complex overlay=shortest=1 Merged_out1.mp4 ./ffmpeg -i Soundtrack.mp3 -i CombinedPics1.mp4 -shortest=1 Merged_out1.flv ./ffmpeg -i Soundtrack.mp3 -i CombinedPics1.mp4 -filter_complex overlay=shortest=1 Merged_out1.flv ./ffmpeg -i Soundtrack.mp3 -ignore_loop 0 -i CombinedPics1.gif -filter_complex overlay=shortest=1 Merged_out1.flv ./ffmpeg -i Soundtrack.mp3 -ignore_loop 0 -i CombinedPics1.gif shortest=1 Merged_out1.mkv ./ffmpeg -i Soundtrack.mp3 -ignore_loop 0 -i CombinedPics1.gif -filter_complex shortest=1 Merged_out1.mkv ./ffmpeg -i CombinedPics1.gif -loop_input -i Soundtrack.mp3 Merged_out1.mp4 ./ffmpeg -i -loop 1 CombinedPics1.gif -i Soundtrack.mp3 Merged_out1.mp4 Two thing's I've picked up on from this forum - 1) loop 1/ignore_loop don't act the same way is all ffmpeg builds, and 2) the order of operations and encoding types matter greatly. I'm on a mac using ffmpeg version: ffmpeg version 2.6.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers built with llvm-gcc 4.2.1 (LLVM build 2336.11.00) If anyone could assist it would really be appreciated.
