ffmpeg command execution never stops - ffmpeg

Question

I am trying to concatenate 3 videos of different resolutions and overlaying 2 videos as transition effects(though the chroma key color removal is not yet implemented) between videos using below command:
ffmpeg
-i input1.mp4
-i input2.mp4
-i input3.mp4
-i transition1.mp4
-i transition2.mp4
-filter_complex
"[0:v]pad=width=1080:height=1920:x=(1080-iw)*0.5:y=(1920-ih)*0.5:color=black[video0];
[1:v]pad=width=1080:height=1920:x=(1080-iw)*0.5:y=(1920-ih)*0.5:color=black[video1];
[2:v]pad=width=1080:height=1920:x=(1080-iw)*0.5:y=(1920-ih)*0.5:color=black[video2];
[video0][video1][video2]concat=n=3:v=1:a=0[outv];
[3:v]scale=w=1080:h=1920[t0];
[4:v]scale=w=1080:h=1920[t1];
[outv][t0]overlay=enable='between(t,6.6045,9.6335)'[out0];
[out0][t1]overlay=enable='between(t,12.5655,15.6165)'[out1];
[0:a][1:a][2:a]concat=n=3:v=0:a=1[audio]"
-c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -map [out1] -map [audio] -preset ultrafast output.mp4
I get success only with few videos. Most of the times the command execution never stops. It keeps on appending something to the output video file even for hours. Here is the output from console:

More than 1000 frames duplicated
I even tried command without overlay and audio parts but result was same. I am working on Android app and using below ffmpeg wrapper library:

Answer 1

The concat filter can reset the frame rate of the output video stream to the stream time base. This can cause mass frame duplication, which will slow down ffmpeg a lot, making it look like ffmpeg is stuck.
Add -vsync 0 to prevent frame duplication.
