How to convert image and music to video? I would like YouTube video. I like FFMPEG command or other Ubuntu free software. I would like: *.mp3 + *.jpg = *.flv
Here is an example using a recent ffmpeg syntax:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.jpg -i music.mp3 -shortest -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -tune stillimage -c:a copy output.mkv
This example will copy the audio instead of re-encoding to preserve quality. Adjust quality if desired with the CRF option. See the FFmpeg and x264 Encoding Guide for more information.
Super User (another StackExchange site) is a better place for ffmpeg usage questions since Stack Overflow is programming specific.
Today I was in need of merging an image and an audio file into a video file. Since none of the answers that I found on SO worked for me, I'm leaving here what worked for me after trial and error:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -t 205 -i audio.mp3 -i image.jpg -crf 20 test.flv
Where 205 is the duration of the input mp3 file in seconds -> 3:25 minutes.
(Tested with FFmpeg SVN-r13582)

I'm creating MP4 files from MP3 files + an image. Searching here at StackOverflow I found a Terminal command that gets me really close:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -r 1 -i pic.jpg -i input.mp3 -c:a copy -shortest -c:v libx264 output.mp4
Works almost perfectly so long as input.mp3 and pic.jpg are in the same folder. The problem is:
It frequently ends up with about 20-40seconds of blank space at the end of the resulting MP4. I can manually chop it off, but I'd love to find out if there's a way to alter this command so that the resulting MP4 file is exactly the length of the input MP3 file.
I don't know the ffmpeg commands well and know just enough Terminal to be dangerous. So I'm hoping it's something obvious haha.
This command should work for you:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -loop 1 -i pic.jpg -shortest -c:a copy -c:v mjpeg output.mp4
You do not need to set -r 1 with just one image and -loop 1.
I think -c:v mjpeg is more suitable to encode jpg than -c:v libx264.
I am trying to take a single image and add audio resulting in a video playing the entire song with that single image; much like you see for YouTube videos for songs. The command I am using is from this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/868283/image-audio-mp4-how-to-make-video-smaller
This is the command:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 1 -i image.png -i song.aac -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 0 -c:a copy -shortest output.mp4
It works as intended for having the video file be a small size, and the song plays as well, but depending on the image I used, some of the images appear 'Green' when playing the video.
However though, this command works for any image used:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 1 -i image.jpg -i music.mp3 -c copy -shortest output.mp4
But the result is a very big file whereas I would like it to be smaller. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
FFMpeg version: 4.3.1
The command you used from the answer you linked to is for YouTube specifically and even says, "your player probably won't like it but YouTube will". I'm assuming you're using a player and not YouTube.
In the same answer is another command under Widest compatibility for any player:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.png -i music.mp3 -vf "scale='min(1280,iw)':-2,format=yuv420p" -c:v libx264 -preset medium -profile:v main -c:a aac -shortest -movflags +faststart output.mp4
Try that instead.
I am looking for a way to convert large number of MP3 files to videos, each using the same image. Efficient processing time is important.
I tried the following:
ffmpeg -i image.jpg -i audio.mp3 -vcodec libx264 video.mp4
VLC media player played the resulting video file with the correct sound, but a blank screen.
Microsoft Media Player played the sound and showed the intended image. I uploaded the video to YouTube and received the message:
"The video has failed to process. Please make sure you are uploading a supported file type."
How can I make this work?
Create video:
ffmpeg -framerate 6 -loop 1 -i input.jpg -c:v libx264 -vf format=yuv420p -t 00:10:00 video.mp4
The duration (-t) should be ≥ the MP3 with the longest duration.
Now stream copy the same video for each MP3:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c copy -movflags +faststart -shortest output.mp4
Some notes regarding compatibility:
MP3 in MP4 does not have universal support, but will be fine in YouTube. If your target players do not like it then add -c:a aac after -c copy to output AAC audio.
If your target player does not like it then increase the -framerate value or add the -r output option with an appropriate value, such as -r 15. Again, YouTube should be able to handle it.
I have a huge MP4 file (4GB) an hour long video. I want to extract port of the file. So I used the following command to extract 70 seconds(00:01:10) of video starting from 11 minutes
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 -ss 00:11:00 -t 00:01:10 -c:v copy -c:a copy OUTPUT.mp4
Now I got a small file extracted from Input.MP4
The output.mp4 file size is still big(90 MB). So I used the following command
ffmpeg -i OUTPUT.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 30 SmallSizeVideo.avi
I got SmallSizeVideo.avi file which is approximately 6MB.
I am using Powerpoint 2010. I want to insert the video in Powerpoint and play.
Unfortunately when I embed SmallSizeVideo.avi Powerpoint is unable to play
1) Is my approach correct?
2) What is the best way to situation like me to play small portion of clips in powerpoint
Thank you
Last I heard, h.264 in avi was nonstandard. Try instead to output as mp4 and see if that plays in PowerPoint:
ffmpeg -i OUTPUT.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 30 SmallSizeVideo.mp4
If it works, I believe it may work in Windows 7 or later and also OS X.
I had the same issue and had to stay for PowerPoint 2010 at Windows 10. Thus, PowerPoint is unable to play MP4, cf. https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Video-and-audio-file-formats-supported-in-PowerPoint-d8b12450-26db-4c7b-a5c1-593d3418fb59. Finally, I come up with this command:
ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -c:v wmv2 -b:v 12024k -c:a wmav2 -b:a 128k output.wmv
This command based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/34851916/2258393 by Reinhard Behrens.
By means of this command, I am able to archive the same file size and approx. the same quality as with MP4.
In my site, having upload video(only mp4 videos) functionality and then to combine. For the combining i used Mp4Box, If we want combine all the mp4 video, those videos have to same dimesions,bitrate,codecs,samplerate,etc, So while uploading the mp4 videos itself we set the constant dimension and other details like
ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -r 25 -s 640x360 -ar 48000 -acodec copy -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -vpre default -async 1 -strict -2 -qscale 10 test.mp4
After using this command the video quality will loss fro the original video, Kindly suggest any solution?
