FFMPEG -rc_override option not working - ffmpeg

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 use -strict -2

Hi I've been recently using the command below
Ffmpeg -i song.mp3 -loop 1 -i image.jpg -filter_complex \
"[0:a]showfreqs=mode=line:ascale=log:fscale=log:s=1280x518[sf]; \
[0:a]showwaves=s=1280x202:mode=p2p[sw]; \
[sf][sw]vstack[fg]; \
[1:v]scale=1280:-1,crop=iw:720[bg]; \
[bg][fg]overlay=shortest=1:format=auto,format=yuv420p,drawtext=fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf:fontcolor=white:x=10:y=10:text='\"Rated80s Prophets Prey\" by Comics On Film'[out]" \
-map "[out]" -map 0:a -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 18 -c:a libopus output.mp4
from this post Showfreqs and showwaves over background image?.
However I changed the output file to from output.mkv to output.mp4 as I would prefer to use mp4
I get the below error
[mp4 # 0x7f962b816800] opus in MP4 support is experimental, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Experimental feature
Error initializing output stream 0:0 --
[libopus # 0x7f962b819800] 1 frames left in the queue on closing
The main information from that error is
opus in MP4 support is experimental, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.
but where do I use -strict -2 within the command to make the command possible
You can add it anywhere after the last input and before the output URL.
e.g.
ffmpeg -i song.mp3 -loop 1 -i image.jpg -strict -2 -filter_complex ...
or
-map "[out]" -map 0:a -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 18 -c:a libopus -strict -2 output.mp4
You can also write it as -strict experimental.

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 - Convert MP4 to WebM, poor results

I am trying to encode a video to webm for playing through a HTML5 video tag. I have these settings...
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:a 128k -b:v 1M -c:a libopus output.webm
The results aren't great, video has lost lot's of it's sharpness. Looking at the original file I can see the bitrate is 1694kb/s.
Are there any settings I can add or change to improve the output? Would maybe a 2 pass encode improve things?
Try with
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 30 -b:v 0 -b:a 128k -c:a libopus output.webm
Adjust the CRF value till the quality/size tradeoff is ok. Lower values produce bigger but better files.
Try to run two passes:
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -b:v 0 -crf 30 -pass 1 -an -f webm -y /dev/null
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -b:v 0 -crf 30 -pass 2 output.webm

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"
