Problems with modifying encoder metadata with FFMPEG - ffmpeg

I'm trying to change FFMPEG encoder writing application with FFMPEG -metadata and for whatever reason, it's reading the input but not actually writing anything out.
-map_metadata -metadata:s:v:0 -metadata writing_application, basically every single stack overflow and stack exchange thread, but they all won't write to the file at all.
ffmpeg -i x.mp4 -s 1920x1080 -r 59.94 -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 6000k -vf yadif=1 -preset fast -fflags +bitexact -flags:v +bitexact -flags:a +bitexact -ac 2 x.mp4
ffmpeg -i x.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -metadata Encoder="TeXT Encoder" -fflags +bitexact -flags:v +bitexact -flags:a +bitexact test.mp4
ffmpeg -i x.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map_metadata out.mp4
ffmpeg -i x.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata encoder="Encoder" -metadata comment="XX" testmeta.mp4
ffmpeg -i x.ts -c:v copy -c:a copy -metadata:s:v:0 h264 ISFT='TeXT' x.mp4
ffmpeg -i x.mp4 -i FFMETADATAFILE -map_metadata 1 -codec copy testcopy.mp4
ffmpeg -i x.ts -f ffmetadata FF
METADATAFILE
I tried to extracting the data and rewrite it back with FFMETADATAFILE but it doesn't show up. Tried forcing ffmpeg to write without any emtadata and write it back but doesn't work. Was wondering if I can write my own encoder that writes the specific encoder name, like how Handbrake/Lavf writes the encoder application into the METADATA of the video file. Or just use FFMPEG and modify the METADATA natively.

To set the writing application (mediainfo) or encoder (ffmpeg) for MP4s, use
ffmpeg -i input {-encoding parameters} -metadata:g encoding_tool=myapp out.mp4

FFMPEG Add watermark to MP4

I have this command to add watermark to an mp4
ffmpeg -i junai-blvaz.mp4 -i evercam-logo-white.png -filter_complex "[1]scale=iw/2:-1[wm];[0][wm]overlay=x=main_w-overlay_w-10:y=main_h-overlay_h-10" -codec:a copy output.mp4
But I am creating the video using
ffmpeg -r 6 -i /tmp/%d.jpg -c:v h264_nvenc -r 6 -preset slow -bufsize 1000k -pix_fmt yuv420p -y junai-blvaz.mp4
Is there any way to merge this command of adding watermark
-i evercam-logo-white.png -filter_complex '[1]scale=iw/2:-1[wm];[0][wm]overlay=x=main_w-overlay_w-10:y=main_h-overlay_h-10'
to the very first command through which mp4 video has been created?
Combine the two commands:
ffmpeg -y -framerate 6 -i /tmp/%d.jpg -i evercam-logo-white.png -filter_complex "[1]scale=iw/2:-1[wm];[0][wm]overlay=x=main_w-overlay_w-10:y=main_h-overlay_h-10,format=yuv420p" -c:v h264_nvenc -preset slow -bufsize 1000k junai-blvaz.mp4

Combine Two Commands (Get Video from Images)

I have 300 images and i wants to generate video from these images.
i am new to FFMPEG so now i am using two commands to generate video from images.
Command to generate video from images which also add Logo on video
ffmpeg -framerate 24 -i img_%d.jpg -i logo.png -filter_complex \
"[0:v][1:v] overlay=25:25:enable='between(t,0,20)'" \
-vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p test_video.mp4
After using above command i am getting the video to add audio to this video i am using below command
ffmpeg -i test_video.mp4 -i inputfile.mp3 -c:v libx264 -c:a libvorbis -shortest final_video.mp4
which generates video and i am getting below message
MPEG-4 AAC decoder is required to play the file
Help to combine this both command. if possible can we add sound without any decoder required
Log for command 1 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zS7gvrPy69VK_MkyE4127FpX2kEziJHq/view?usp=sharing
and Log command 2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rHqVGzj7f003aWP6eISiyUjsES8_EWuw/view?usp=sharing
Try next command:
ffmpeg -framerate 24 -i img_%d.jpg -i logo.png -i inputfile.mp3 -filter_complex \
"[0:v][1:v] overlay=25:25:enable='between(t,0,20)'" \
-vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -map 2:a -c:a copy -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest test_video.mp4
-map 2:a is needed to skip image in case if there is cover image in track.
With -c:a copy track will not be re-encoded, so you will have mp3 inside of your video file.

FFMPEG -rc_override option not working

I am trying to use -rc_override option for FFMPEG. However, i do not see any change in the frame
I have tried 2 command mentioned below
ffmpeg -i abp1.mp4 -b:v 154k -rc_override:v 6336,6436,-48 -vstats_file stats.txt -c:v libx265 -c:a copy abp1_compress_154.mp4
ffmpeg -i abp1.mp4 -b:v 154k -rc_override:v 6336,6436,1 -vstats_file stats.txt -c:v libx265 -c:a copy abp1_compress_154.mp4
Please let me know if there is any issue with this command
-rc_override is an old option confined to the internal MPEG-1/2 encoders.
For x265, use zones.
ffmpeg -i abp1.mp4 -c:v libx265 -b:v 154k -x265-params "zones=6336,6436,b=1.5"
-vstats_file stats.txt -c:a copy abp1_compress_154.mp4
b here indicates the bitrate multiplier.

FFmpeg concat and then add soundtrack results in a soundtrack that stutters

I am trying to create a video composed of clips of images and videos. For the clips of images, I use ffmpeg to create a video file and then I add a silent audio stream through these two steps:
ffmpeg.exe -loop 1 -i MyImage.png -codec:v libx264 -t 4.0 -profile:v high -preset slow -r 25 -b:v 500k -maxrate 500k -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=1280:720 MyImageMovie.mp4
ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=48000 -i MyImageMovie.mp4 -shortest -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -y MyImageMovieWithSilentAudioStream.mp4
Then I combine my video clips and image clips with
ffmpeg.exe -f concat -i videoList.txt -c copy -y concatVideo.mp4
At this point, the video looks good, any video clips that have audio streams seemed well synced to the video.
Now I add a soundtrack:
ffmpeg.exe -i concatVideo.mp4 -i soundtrack.mp3 -ar 48000 -filter_complex "[1:a]apad [b] ; [0:a][b]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -ac 2 -shortest -y FinalVideo.mp4
The problem is that the soundtrack on FinalVideo.mp4 stutters at some (not all) of the concatenation joints.
I suspect it has to do with the audio stream and the video stream of the Image clips not being perfectly aligned. The aac has .0231s resolution and the video has 0.04s resolution. When I ffprobe the MyImageMovieWithSilentAudioStream.mp4 the duration is 4.00s but the start is 0.0213.
If my concatenated video has several of these image clips, the error can start to accumulate.
What can I do to keep the video and audio in sync and add a soundtrack that doesn't stutter?
Also, this is a little interesting, I don't hear the stutter when the final video is played on Windows Media Player, but it is there if I play it on VLC or via the html native video element.
Try adding the soundtrack in the same step as the concat.
ffmpeg -f concat -i videoList.txt -i soundtrack.mp3 \
-filter_complex "[1:a]apad[b];[0:a][b]amerge=inputs=2[a]" \
-map 0:v -map "[a]"
-c:v copy -c:a aac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -shortest -y FinalVideo.mp4
As an aside, you can also combine the image and silent stream generation,
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i MyImage.png -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=48000 \
-vf scale=1280:720 \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -preset slow -r 25 -b:v 500k -maxrate 500k -pix_fmt yuv420p \
-c:a aac -strict experimental -t 4 -y MyImageMovieWithSilentAudioStream.mp4

FFmpeg First 2 Seconds of Video Not Showing

This code works fine for some audio files (makes a slideshow of JPG pictures with a PNG watermark and MP3 audio, while maintaining aspect ratio) but for this audio file, the pictures are not showing for the first two seconds or so of the video:
ffmpeg -y -framerate 1/12 -i "media/%03d.jpg" -i "media/audio.mp3" -loop 1 -i "media/watermark.png" -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=iw*min(3840/iw\,2160/ih):ih*min(3840/iw\,2160/ih), pad=3840:2160:(3840-iw)/2:(2160-ih)/2[ss]; [ss][2:v] overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10:shortest=1[out]" -map "[out]" -map 1:a -c:v libx264 -r 24 -preset veryfast -tune stillimage -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy -map_metadata -1 "media/video.mkv" -report
I tried converting the audio into different formats of MP3, tried changing bitrates, changed audio to stereo, and even tried converting it to a WAV. None of these things worked.
Here are the report results for when I run this command.
If it makes a difference, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and FFmpeg version N-77455-g4707497 (latest version).
This command should work, but I consider this bizarre behaviour as FFmpeg should be automatically padding frames as per output spec
ffmpeg -y -framerate 1/12 -i "media/%03d.jpg" -i "media/audio.mp3" -loop 1 -i "media/watermark.png" -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=iw*min(3840/iw\,2160/ih):ih*min(3840/iw\,2160/ih), pad=3840:2160:(3840-iw)/2:(2160-ih)/2,fps=24[ss]; [ss][2:v] overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10:shortest=1[out]" -map "[out]" -map 1:a -c:v libx264 -r 24 -preset veryfast -tune stillimage -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy -map_metadata -1 "media/video.mkv"
