Overview
This node provides video processing capabilities using FFmpeg, specifically supporting operations like merging multiple videos, overlaying audio onto a video, retrieving video information, and running custom FFmpeg commands. It is useful for automating video editing workflows such as combining video clips, adding audio tracks, extracting metadata, or applying custom video transformations.
Use Case Examples
- Merging several video files into one continuous video file.
- Overlaying an audio track onto an existing video file to create a new video with sound.
- Extracting metadata information from a video file for analysis or cataloging.
- Running a custom FFmpeg command to apply specific video filters or transformations.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output File Name | Specifies the name of the output video file generated by the operation. |
| Output Binary Property | Defines the name of the binary property where the output video file will be stored. |
| FFmpeg Overlay Arguments | Template string for the FFmpeg command used to overlay audio onto a video. It includes placeholders for video input, audio input, and output file path. |
Output
Binary
Contains the processed video file data in binary format under the specified output binary property.
JSON
- `` - The output data structure contains the processed video file, typically as binary data under the user-defined output binary property.
Dependencies
- Requires FFmpeg to be installed and accessible in the environment where the node runs.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure FFmpeg is installed and properly configured in the system path to avoid execution errors.
- Verify that the input files meet the minimum requirements (e.g., minimum number of files for merging).
- Check that the FFmpeg command templates are correctly formatted with the required placeholders ({video}, {audio}, {output}).
- Common errors may include file not found, invalid input format, or FFmpeg command syntax errors. These can be resolved by validating input files and command arguments.
