Create, edit, modify and convert multimedia files using FFmpeg, the most versatile open source audio and video processing tool available for Linux, Mac and Windows users. After reading this book, you will be able to work with video and audio files, images, text, animations, fonts, subtitles and metadata like a pro.
This book can serve as an easy FFmpeg tutorial, hack collection, and a ready reference. However, it is not possible for one book to cover everything that FFmpeg can do. FFmpeg has a very huge online documentation with which you may have to craft your commands. While this book may seem more than enough for most users, the documentation will open up vastly more possibilities. DO NOT avoid going through the documentation.
It begins with a simple introduction to FFmpeg executables ― ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay, and explains how you can use them to process multimedia containers, streams, audio channels, maps and metadata. It then describes how you can easily edit, enhance and convert audio, video, image and text files. There are dedicated chapters for filters, audio, subtitles and metadata, as well as FFmpeg tips and tricks. Sample lists of FFmpeg filters, encoders, decoders, formats and codecs are also available as appendices.
Quick Start Guide to FFmpeg is for anyone who needs to edit or process multimedia files including studio professionals, broadcast personnel, content creators, podcasters, librarians, archivists and webmasters. It will be indispensable for those wanting to process a variety of multimedia files from the command line and inside shell scripts or custom-built software.
