you need to learn FFmpeg RIGHT NOW!!

[00:00] Do you ever battle with finding the right tool 

[00:04] or resize an image? How about capturing 

[00:08] or audio ripping from a video you found? You 

[00:12] just mentioned. What if I told you the ultimate 

[00:17] machine working silently under the hood in the 

[00:21] and it's the engine that powers everything from 

[00:26] with an unintended Twitter storm that ended in 

[00:32] me thinking. People think of FFmpeg as a silent 

[00:37] do anything with. I mean, FFmpeg is just this 

[00:42] system? Not only is open source and completely 

[00:46] option out there. Everything else is mostly an 

[00:51] probably fmp underneath the hood. all the prof 

[00:56] has one huge problem. It's overwhelming and like 

[01:01] user so much power eventually facing them with the 

[01:06] to config. I I think ffmpeg like they have all 

[01:11] the command line. It's like one of those cryptic 

[01:17] I'm here to say that FFmpeg isn't this impossible 

[01:23] And the truth is, you don't need to be an expert 

[01:28] just need to know the right secrets and how to 

[01:32] use a rubber. In this video, I'm going to 

[01:36] but also how to add a touch that makes using 

[01:42] from FFmpeg's surprising history to the simple 

[01:46] you work with media forever. FFmpeg is probably 

[01:51] day and does not get the love it deserves. I just 

[01:56] started. FFmpeg's name is basically fastforward 

[02:02] back then. Who here remembers the early 2000s 

[02:08] babies and rotating word art gifts were at the 

[02:13] required a specific often terrible player to be 

[02:18] a legendary programmer, the same genius who later 

[02:24] container users run daily, started a secret 

[02:28] unlock every media format. Little did anyone know 

[02:34] backbone of the entire internet's video. The logo 

[02:39] meg codecs handle entropy encoding a lossless data 

[02:44] memory, then we're in good company. Doubled it. 

[02:50] for them. Okay, a nice trip down memory lane, but 

[02:55] for developers, but we're here for the CLI. So, 

[03:01] from a previous video. I still remember the day, 

[03:06] input introduced by hyphen i and then a file. When 

[03:13] filter followed by what you're looking for. We're 

[03:19] pixels is our width and minus1 tells ffmpeg to 

[03:25] Lancos is a highquality algo for resizing 

[03:30] for codec for video which in our case is GIF. 

[03:35] different processes. Don't worry about remembering 

[03:40] lots of output in the logs including useful 

[03:45] a beautiful GIF that's way way too small. Let's 

[03:50] configuration of once you have that oneliner 

[03:56] mode in the terminal, that's exactly why you want 

[04:03] uh, 1.8 megabytes of a nicely sized GIF, and job 

[04:10] looked for online gift creators where I can upload 

[04:16] code injected into my browser just to get this. 

[04:21] form of an image, let's talk about images. For 

[04:25] a neim debugging video. A fairly large image of 3 

[04:32] tools or online utilities, but ffmpeg can easily 

[04:38] Then the video filter, which will hold one pair 

[04:44] the output file and wham, 54 kilobytes, which are 

[04:50] time for that. Let's see what we got. A lovely 

[04:55] could use the trick from earlier. Just add minus 

[05:00] we have a nicely shrunk image. Perfect aspect 

[05:05] compressed media is only half the battle for a 

[05:10] delivery. That's where having a premium manage 

[05:14] difference. As a business owner, your focus should 

[05:19] to crash. If you're constantly worried about slow 

[05:24] support chatbot, it's time for a change. This 

[05:29] for WordPress and are trusted by over 120,000 

[05:34] sudden traffic spikes to giants like Screaming 

[05:39] 350 providers. Here's why. First, speed. Just by 

[05:46] One agency saw a mind-blowing 1,600% speed boost. 

[05:52] firewall, DOS protection, and is so certified, 

[05:57] part, when you need help, you talk to a real 

[06:03] just actual solutions. Tired of being your own IT 

[06:08] entire site for free. Plus, you get your first

[06:23] time that you want to separate audio from video. 

[06:28] 2000s when we wanted the MTV tracks music only. 

[06:34] This time with a VN flag, which the doc suggests 

[06:42] Then a codec of MP3. This is actually old syntax, 

[06:48] ready to play. How about VC for the job? And there 

[06:54] I still remember the day, the moment. Okay, GIFs 

[07:00] shall we? That's one of the main selling points 

[07:05] which is another super fascinating technical uh 

[07:12] just fills me with joy. Same input, this time a 

[07:18] widely used compression standard that's both 

[07:23] factor. Not a straightforward term, but basically 

[07:28] 63, where zero is higher quality and larger files, 

[07:34] 23 is a common default with good balance, so you'd 

[07:39] that. It takes about three whole seconds and the 

[07:45] of the previous 15.2. Is it any good though? Well, 

[07:51] you're probably thinking, am I going to 

[07:55] just mentioned? Well, you don't have to. And if 

[08:00] here's an open source exactly for that. Handbreak 

[08:05] use interface. It comes with readymade presets for 

[08:10] results without diving deep into technical flax. 

[08:15] highquality video compression. Although, I must 

[08:20] we've seen earlier, it does not use FFmpeg or its 

[08:25] useful feature you probably didn't know about 

[08:30] mean? It can capture your video cams, microphones, 

[08:35] importantly, your screens. Yes, ffmpeg is a screen 

[08:42] for AV foundation format which is Mac specific. 

[08:47] direct show media format while Linux users can use 

[08:55] So there's my list of both video and audio devices 

[09:00] my desk to my DSLR cam or meeting webcam on top. 

[09:06] right from FFmpeg. Remember Zuckerberg was taping 

[09:12] look how easy it is to script something that 

[09:16] worried for a good reason. Let's start with 

[09:20] let's get it into the list of flags here, which by 

[09:25] things run. Time to move things on the screen 

[09:29] finder around, stop recording with Ctrl + C, and 

[09:34] out. Here's the window moving around. Not too bad 

[09:39] here is the cursor. Want it in. There's a flag for 

[09:45] dragged window while it's playing a GIF. Let's 

[09:48] the GIF from the start. Now, here's the fun part. 

[09:54] as my iPhone camera, which is immediately turned 

[09:59] it up and see whether FFmpeg actually gets input 

[10:05] Hello, that's my screen. There's the camera and a 

[10:10] second here like a crazy person, which explains 

[10:15] it works. This brings up malicious ideas 

[10:20] about that shakiness. FFmpeg has a solution for 

[10:25] index and accuracy added to it. I didn't have a 

[10:30] very keen to hear from others who did. Just before 

[10:36] on media for you. Don't believe it? Look at that. 

[10:42] add. This can also take a font color and size and 

[10:47] And there you have it. burnt on the top left hand 

[10:52] burnt on media you publish. Okay, how about we 

[10:58] flags and covering what each means, there's no way 

[11:03] for shrinking an image. So, while there are many 

[11:08] while serving as my command history manager, 

[11:13] relevant here because it's easily tweaked. A twins 

[11:18] here to create gifs on the fly. If we ever need 

[11:23] edit make gif will load it into the configured 

[11:28] a twin scripts. I'll link it up here. But for now 

[11:32] its place here. But configured parameters will 

[11:37] them configurable interactively. I'll do that with 

[11:43] Obviously, I can change the scale, FPS, etc. But 

[11:49] which I, by the way, mapped to ASR locally, 

[11:54] output file name, then the input file, which 

[11:59] there it is. And there's our new GIF created 

[12:04] head around FFmpeg, you're ready to put things in 

[12:10] taking it all in the flags, the switches, and 

[12:15] presenting my choice for automating FFmpeg. But 

[12:19] an entire history manager with data persistency, 

[12:25] can't work without. Check it in the video up here 

[12:30] Don't forget to check out Kinsta for a faster,
