Hi - love the project! Figuring out the config system is a bit challenging
:) Is there a list of example configuration file somewhere?
Here's my use case, I'd love to know if there' s a good way to do it, or to
do part of it:
1) Input: Camera generates day_time.mp4.
2) Step 1: trim out non-motion so, create day_time_motion_only.mp4
3) Step 2: Merge *data_time_motion_only.mp4" to motion_merged.mp4
Much obliged!
Also Is there a config option to execute the detection of a single file,
and then exit?
Here's what I've deduced so far to work on Step #1 :)
netcam_url file:///home//idvorkin/tmp/motion/m1.mp4
;logfile /home/idvorkin/tmp/motion.log
camera_name m1
movie_codec hevc

Here's the list of configuration parameters.

I've read them, it's just very difficult to deduce how to get from the
documentation to my use case. Help appreciated!

Which hardware are you running motion on? Is it Raspberry Pi?
Try to set:
width 1920
height 1080
Does it change anything?
