12+They seem like opposites: one is about glamour, aesthetics, and "the look"; the other is about terminal windows, codecs, and "the code."
FFmpeg supports a wide range of filters. Here’s a simple example of adding a watermark:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i watermark.png -filter_complex "overlay=W-w-10:H-h-10" output.mp4
-crf 18: Constant Rate Factor. 18 is "visually lossless." Higher numbers (like 23) result in smaller files but lower quality. -c:a aac: Converts the audio to AAC format. Optimizing for High Efficiency (H.265)
: Some versions include multiple language tracks. Use the -map flag to select only the original English audio to save space.
Because video files are made of Group of Pictures (GOPs), using -c copy might result in the first few seconds being slightly glitchy or the timing being off by a second or two. If you are cutting the runway sequence and need frame-perfect precision, you must re-encode.
