i want to select videos from file1.txt which contains
file 'video1.mp4'
file 'video2.mp4'
file 'video3.mp4'
using ffmpeg command i store them in file1.txt and concatenate it:
command= ffmpeg -f concat -i < ( for f in *.mp4; do echo "file '$(pwd)/$f'"; done ) outputfile.mp4
how to apply start and end to this so that i can select videos starting from video1.mp4 to video2.mp4 to be concatenated using python.

I want to create an automated way to cut .mp3 files to 45 seconds.
So far I have been able to use ffmpeg to cut the audio to 45 seconds with this command:
ffmpeg -t 45 -i input.mp3 -acodec copy output.mp3
However this does not actually speed anything up, as if I have to do this with each file I might as well use audacity. I know that I should be able to use a .bat file to create a loop for this, however I don't know how to set up the loop. In python I would create a list of the file names in my directory with listdir:
fileNames = listdir(path),
and then create a for loop:
(something like
i = 1
for fileName in fileNames:
x = 2 * int(i)
ffmpeg -t 45 -i str(fileName)+'.mp3' -acodec copy str(x)+'.mp3'
that)
However I don't know how to create something like this in a .bat file. Some help with this, or a way to achieve this in python, would be much appreciated.
You can try using below script. Save the code into a *.bat file in the folder where you have your mp3 songs and execute it and it will process all your songs.
#ECHO OFF
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /a count = 1
for %%f in (*.mp3) do (
set "output=!count!.mp3"
ffmpeg -t 45 -i %%f -acodec copy !output!
set /a count+=1
)
endlocal
I am trying to store an image that is the result of ffmpeg.
Using this command, I have frame.png as an external file output:
ffmpeg -flags2 +export_mvs -i video.avi -vf 'select=gte(n\,200),codecview=mv=pf+bf+bb' -vframes 1 frame.png
I want to be able to load the frame.png directly into python, maybe using openCV but without saving it in the computer.
I thought of something like this:
cmd = "ffmpeg -flags2 +export_mvs -i video.avi -vf 'select=gte(n\,200),codecview=mv=pf+bf+bb' -vframes 1 frame.png"
img = cv.imread(sp.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout = sp.PIPE, stderr = sp.PIPE).communicate()[0])
But I get an error:
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation
Any clue how to do this? The idea is, no frame.png should be generated as a file.
You can set the output file as /dev/stdout (you might need to specify the output format with -f)
Then you redirect your output to your python script like so
ffmpeg options /dev/stdout | python your_script.py
Then you can read this question to see how you can read an image from a file object. Just replace StringIO with sys.stdin
I am trying to detect if a video has any valid content or is just the standard broadcasting bars & tone. So far I've looked at this question: https://superuser.com/questions/1036449/detect-color-bars-ffmpeg/1036478#1036478
which generates bars & tone from the first frame and then compares that against the rest of the stream but in my case I need to run the ffmpeg command within a folder that only has one file that has already been found by my python script.
Is it possible to use ffmpeg's blend=difference to check that a short bars & tone clip is a subclip of one of my video files? I'm thinking of this in the same way you can check if a string is within a string, or is there a better way to check for bars that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks!
I found a way to get my script to do what I wanted with python and ffmpeg:
Info on how this ffmpeg command works:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/101558/compare-video-and-image-percentage-of-differences
http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Video-Filters
-------------------------------------------------------- BEGIN CODE -------------------------------------------------------
selection = "'gt(scene\,0.1)'" # The decimal here is the threshold for determining video quality (0 -> 1)
proc5 = Popen('C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe -i "'+ src +'" -vf "select='+ selection +'" -vsync 0 -f image2 -y //fn101cdmzst01.foxneo.com/signiant/foxsports/soundmouse/FileManagerInfo/Thumbnails/thumbnails-%02d.jpg 2>&1', stdout=PIPE, shell=True) # This is the ffmpeg command. The specifics of how it works are explained below
res, err = proc5.communicate() # Read proc5's (the ffmpeg command) stdout to res and stderr to err
proc5.wait() # Wait for ffmpeg to finish processing the whole video file
res = str(res.decode('ascii')) # Decode the ascii output from stdout and convert to a string
print(res)
if r"Output file is empty" in res: # If the ascii output from stdout has the string "Output file is empty", remove it. Otherwise, perform name changes and file move for soundmouse

FFMPEG COMMAND: 'C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe -i "'+ src +'" -vf "select='+ selection +'" -vsync 0 -f image2 -y //fn101cdmzst01.foxneo.com/signiant/foxsports/soundmouse/FileManagerInfo/Thumbnails/thumbnails-%02d.jpg 2>&1'
The actual ffmpeg command is highlighted according to the various operations it performs.
C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe # make an absolute path call to ffmpeg.exe
-i "'+ src +'" # set the absolute path to the source file as the input
-vf "select='+ selection +'" # use a video filter to select frames with large change before and after (based on the decimal threshold that is set) and compare it with the following portion of the command
-vsync 0 -f image2 -y //fn101cdmzst01.foxneo.com/signiant/foxsports/soundmouse/FileManagerInfo/Thumbnails/thumbnails-%02d.jpg # compare the selected frame with the previous one stored in the Thumbnails folder and then overwrite the comparison thumbnail with the selected frame for the next comparison
2>&1' # redirect stderr to stdout so that we can read it with Python's proc5.communicate() function
I have 100 uncompressed mov (Video files) and i want to convert all mov to sgi image sequences.
i have a list of all mov file path.
how to convert .mov (video) to .sgi (image sequence) using python and FFmpeg.
you can use ffmpeg to convert the video to sgi images using this ffmpeg command
ffmpeg -i inputVideo outputFrames_%04d.sgi
-replace inputVideo your input file path and name
-replace outputFrames with output file path and name
-replace '4' in _%04d with the number of digits you want for sequential image file naming.
now one way to process your files from python is to launch ffmpeg as a subprocess and providing the command you want executed by ffmpeg:
import subprocess as sp
cmd='ffmpeg -i inputVideo outputFrames_%04d.sgi'
sp.call(cmd,shell=True)
remember to use double \ in your file path in the cmd command string (at least for me on windows).
If you want to loop over 100 movie files, write a loop that concatenates the command string with the appropriate input and output file names.
I use https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy library for merge two videos with python. It merged successfully but sound of videos is not exists in merged.mp4.
The python code :
clip1 = VideoFileClip("2.mp4",audio=True)
clip2 = VideoFileClip("1.mp4",audio=True)
final_clip = concatenate_videoclips([clip1,clip2],method="compose")
final_clip.write_videofile("merged.mp4")
I also tried with ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i 'concat:1.mp4|2.mp4' -codec copy merged.mp4
ffmpeg couldn't merge videos. It create merged.mp4 which has only 1.mp4
How can I merge two videos with python or another way?
ffmpeg offcial
Instructions
Create a file mylist.txt with all the files you want to have concatenated in the following form (lines starting with a # are ignored):
file 'path/to/file1.wav'
file 'path/to/file2.wav'
file 'path/to/file3.wav'
Note that these can be either relative or absolute paths. Then you can stream copy or re-encode your files:
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy mergedfile.mp4
The -safe 0 above is not required if the paths are relative.
It works for all kinds of video formats mp4, wav ...
