I have a project that requires merging of a video file with another audio file. The expected out put is an video file that will have both the audio from actual video and the merged audio file. The length of the output video file will be same to the size of the actual video file.
Is there a single line FFMPEG command to achieve this using copy and -map parameters ?
The video form I will be using is either flv or mp4
And the audio file format will be mp3
There can be achieved without using map also.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 output.mp4
In case you want the output.mp4 to stop as soon as one of the input stops (audio/video)
then use
-shortest
For example: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -shortest output.mp4
This will make sure that the output stops as and when any one of the inputs is completed.
Since you have asked that you want to do it with map. this is how you do it:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -shortest output.mp4
Now, since you want to retain the audio of the video file, consider you want to merge audio.mp3
and video.mp4
. These are the steps:
- Extract audio from the video.mp4
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 1.mp3
- Merge both audio.mp3 and 1.mp3
ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -i 1.mp3 -filter_complex amerge -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 4 audiofinal.mp3
- Remove the audio from video.mp4 (this step is not required. but just to do it properly)
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -an videofinal.mp4
- Now merge audiofinal.mp3 and videofinal.mp4
ffmpeg -i videofinal.mp4 -i audiofinal.mp3 -shortest final.mp4
note: in the latest version of ffmpeg it will only prompt you to use '-strict -2' in case it does then use this:
ffmpeg -i videofinal.mp4 -i audiofinal.mp3 -shortest -strict -2 final.mp4
hope this helps.
**
You can not do that using one cmd.
**
1.Get the audio from video file, the audio file name is a.mp3
ffmpeg.exe -i video.mp4 a.mp3
2.Merge two audio files(audio.mp3+a.mp3=audiofinal.mp3)
ffmpeg.exe -i audio.mp3 -i a.mp3 -filter_complex amerge -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 4 audiofinal.mp3
3.Merge video file and audio file(video.mp4+audiofinal.mp3=output.mp4)
ffmpeg.exe -i video.mp4 -i audiofinal.mp3 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c copy -y output.mp4
Use case:
- add music to your background
- you rendered a video, but muted some part of it, so you don't want to render it again(coz it's too long), instead you render only audio track(fast) and wanna merge it with original video.
Assuming
- you have your video with you speech (or just audio track, whatever)
- your music_file is not loud. Otherwise, you will not hear yourself D:
Steps:
1) Extract audio from the video
ffmpeg -i test.mp4 1.mp3
test.mp4 - your file
2) Merge both audio.mp3 and 1.mp3
ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -i 1.mp3 -filter_complex amerge -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 4 audiofinal.mp3
audiofinal.mp3 - audio with music
3) Delete audio from original
ffmpeg -i example.mkv -c copy -an example-nosound.mkv
example-nosound.mkv - your video without audio
4) Merge with proper audio
ffmpeg -i audiofinal.mp3 -i example-nosound.wmv -c:v copy -vcodec copy final.wmv
final.wmv - your perfect video.
This is very easy with FFmpeg:
ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -codec:a libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ab 64k -ac 1 -q:v 1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -map 0:0 -map 1:0
First remove the sound from video if you are not able to merge video and audio by using this command:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -an videofinal.mp4
