ffmpeg / avconv overlay + scale +audio + time

[Valpskott]

So, I record gaming videos and render them via scripts. Today I made a watermark of sorts to overlay over my videos.

I've been searchin high and low for 3 problems I'm having.
First of, the overlay is in 1920x1080.

This kinda works for me as long as the recorded video is in the same resolution as the watermark video (1920x1080):

avconv -i PART01.mov -acodec copy -ar 44100 -vf "movie=watermark.mov [logo];[in][logo] overlay=0:0 [out]" -strict experimental output.mov

I can grab the resolution from PART01.mov via "res=$(avconv -i PART01.mov 2>&1 | grep -m 1 "Stream #0" | awk '{print $8}' | sed -e 's/x.*//g')".
But I can't figure out where to put "scale=1280:720" in the render-command.

The remaining two problems are:
1, include the audio from watermark.mov
2, insert watermark.mov at a specific time (not in the beginning of the episode, but rather 5 minuter in).

Any level of help with either of these problems would be much appreciated.

2, insert watermark.mov at a specific time (not in the beginning of the episode, but rather 5 minuter in).

You can do this with real ffmpeg from FFmpeg, but not avconv. You can compile ffmpeg or simply use a Linux build of ffmpeg.

Please show the output of:

ffmpeg -i PART01.mov -i watermark.mov

This is the output when a recorded video (PART01.mov) is in 1280x720p.

$ ffmpeg -i PART01.mov -i watermark.mov

At least one output file must be specified

However, sometimes (depending on the game) the video will be in 1920x1080, but both the video and audio codecs should be the same as in the 1280x720 videos.

So to clarify. I need help with the syntax of "-vf" to scale down the 1920x1080 watermark to fit a 1280x720 video.
I'd also like if the audio from the watermark will merge with the audio of the video.
And finally, I want to set a time-code for when the watermark should appear in the video. I know I can do that by splitting the video and then joining them together again after the watermark has been added, but that would be a 3-4 step process. I'd rather do everything in one step.

This is the fake ffmpeg from a fork. It is buggy and not useful. You'll need to use the real ffmpeg. See the links I provided earlier in this thread for more info.

Example:

ffmpeg -i PART01.mov -i watermark.mov -filter_complex \
"[0:v]scale=1280:720[bg]; \
 [1:v]scale=1280:720[over]; \
 [bg][over]overlay,format=yuv420p[v]; \
 [0:a]aresample=44100,aformat=sample_fmts=s16:channel_layouts=stereo[a0]; \
 [1:a]aresample=44100,aformat=sample_fmts=s16:channel_layouts=stereo[a1]; \
 [a0][a1]amerge,pan=stereo:c0<c0+c2:c1<c1+c3[a]" \
-map "[v]" -map "[a]" -codec:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -codec:a libfdk_aac -vbr 5 output.mov

You can enable timeline editing for the video overlay, but it will not automatically also offset the audio from watermark.mov:

 [bg][over]overlay=enable='gte(t,5*60)',format=yuv420p[v]; \

With amerge, if inputs do not have the same duration, the output will stop with the shortest.

Sorry for late reply and thank you for your reply.

I've updated ffmpeg via a precompiled repo.

But I get this error.

Unrecognized option 'filter_complex'
