FFmpeg for Video Production

FFmpeg is the essential tool for video/audio processing. This skill covers common operations for Remotion video projects.

Quick Reference

GIF to MP4 (Remotion-compatible)

bash
ffmpeg -i input.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p \  -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" output.mp4

Why these flags:

  • -movflags faststart - Moves metadata to start for web streaming
  • -pix_fmt yuv420p - Ensures compatibility with most players
  • scale=trunc(...) - Forces even dimensions (required by most codecs)

Resize Video

bash
# To 1920x1080 (maintain aspect ratio, add black bars)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" output.mp4
# To 1920x1080 (crop to fill)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=increase,crop=1920:1080" output.mp4
# Scale to width, auto heightffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:-2" output.mp4

Compress Video

bash
# Good quality, smaller file (CRF 23 is default, lower = better quality)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4
# Aggressive compression for web previewffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 96k output.mp4
# Target file size (e.g., ~10MB for 60s video = ~1.3Mbps)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1300k -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

Extract Audio

bash
# Extract to MP3ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec libmp3lame -q:a 2 output.mp3
# Extract to AACffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec aac -b:a 192k output.m4a
# Extract to WAV (uncompressed)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn output.wav

Convert Audio Formats

bash
# M4A to MP3 (for ElevenLabs voice samples)ffmpeg -i input.m4a -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 output.mp3
# WAV to MP3ffmpeg -i input.wav -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k output.mp3
# Adjust volumeffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "volume=1.5" output.mp3

Trim/Cut Video

bash
# Cut from timestamp to duration (recommended - reliable)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -t 00:00:15 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
# Cut from timestamp to timestampffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -to 00:00:45 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
# Stream copy (faster but may lose frames at cut points)# Only use when source has frequent keyframesffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -t 00:00:15 -c copy output.mp4

Note: Re-encoding is recommended for trimming. Stream copy (-c copy) can silently drop video if the seek point doesn't align with a keyframe.

Speed Up / Slow Down

bash
# 2x speed (video and audio)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.5*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=2.0[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
# 0.5x speed (slow motion)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=2.0*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=0.5[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
# Video only (no audio)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=0.5*PTS" -an output.mp4

Concatenate Videos

bash
# Create file listecho "file 'clip1.mp4'" > list.txtecho "file 'clip2.mp4'" >> list.txtecho "file 'clip3.mp4'" >> list.txt
# Concatenate (same codec/resolution)ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy output.mp4
# Concatenate with re-encoding (different sources)ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4

Add Fade In/Out

bash
# Fade in first 1 second, fade out last 1 second (30fps video)ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fade=t=in:st=0:d=1,fade=t=out:st=9:d=1" -c:a copy output.mp4
# Audio fadeffmpeg -i input.mp4 -af "afade=t=in:st=0:d=1,afade=t=out:st=9:d=1" -c:v copy output.mp4

Get Video Info

bash
# Duration, resolution, codec infoffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 input.mp4
# Full infoffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams input.mp4

Remotion-Specific Patterns

Video Speed Adjustment for Remotion

When to use FFmpeg vs Remotion playbackRate:

ScenarioUse FFmpegUse Remotion
Constant speed (1.5x, 2x)Either works✅ Simpler
Extreme speeds (>4x or <0.25x)✅ More reliableMay have issues
Variable speed (accelerate over time)✅ Pre-processComplex workaround needed
Need perfect audio sync✅ GuaranteedUsually fine
Demo needs to fit voiceover timing✅ Pre-calculateRuntime adjustment

Remotion limitation: playbackRate must be constant. Dynamic interpolation like playbackRate={interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [1, 5])} won't work correctly because Remotion evaluates frames independently.

bash
# Speed up demo to fit a scene (e.g., 60s demo into 20s = 3x speed)ffmpeg -i demo-raw.mp4 \  -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.333*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=3.0[a]" \  -map "[v]" -map "[a]" \  public/demos/demo-fast.mp4
# Slow motion for emphasis (0.5x speed)ffmpeg -i action.mp4 \  -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=2.0*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=0.5[a]" \  -map "[v]" -map "[a]" \  public/demos/action-slow.mp4
# Speed up without audio (common for screen recordings)ffmpeg -i demo.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=0.5*PTS" -an public/demos/demo-2x.mp4
# Timelapse effect (10x speed, drop audio)ffmpeg -i long-demo.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=0.1*PTS" -an public/demos/timelapse.mp4

Calculate speed factor:

  • To fit X seconds of video into Y seconds of scene: speed = X / Y
  • setpts multiplier = 1 / speed (e.g., 3x speed = setpts=0.333*PTS)
  • atempo value = speed (e.g., 3x speed = atempo=3.0)

Extreme speed (>2x audio): Chain atempo filters (each limited to 0.5-2.0 range):

bash
# 4x speed audio-filter_complex "[0:a]atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0[a]"
# 8x speed audio-filter_complex "[0:a]atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0[a]"

Prepare Demo Recording for Remotion

bash
# Standard 1080p, 30fps, Remotion-readyffmpeg -i raw-recording.mp4 \  -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,fps=30" \  -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow \  -c:a aac -b:a 192k \  -movflags faststart \  public/demos/demo.mp4

Screen Recording to Remotion Asset

bash
# From iPhone/iPad recording (usually 60fps, variable resolution)ffmpeg -i iphone-recording.mov \  -vf "scale=1920:-2,fps=30" \  -c:v libx264 -crf 20 \  -an \  public/demos/mobile-demo.mp4

Batch Convert GIFs

bash
for f in assets/*.gif; do  ffmpeg -i "$f" -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p \    -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" \    "public/demos/$(basename "$f" .gif).mp4"done

Common Issues

"Height not divisible by 2"

Add scale filter: -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2"

Video won't play in browser

Use: -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264

Audio out of sync after speed change

Use filter_complex with atempo: -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.5*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=2.0[a]"

File too large

Increase CRF (23→28) or reduce resolution

Platform-Specific Output Optimization

After Remotion renders your video (typically to out/video.mp4), use FFmpeg to optimize for each distribution platform.

Workflow Integration

Remotion render (master)     FFmpeg optimization      Platform upload       ↓                            ↓                       ↓   out/video.mp4  ────────→  out/video-youtube.mp4  ───→  YouTube                  ────────→  out/video-twitter.mp4  ───→  Twitter/X                  ────────→  out/video-linkedin.mp4 ───→  LinkedIn                  ────────→  out/video-web.mp4      ───→  Website embed

YouTube (Recommended Settings)

YouTube re-encodes everything, so upload high quality:

bash
# YouTube optimized (1080p)ffmpeg -i out/video.mp4 \  -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 \  -profile:v high -level 4.0 \  -bf 2 -g 30 \  -c:a aac -b:a 192k -ar 48000 \  -movflags +faststart \  out/video-youtube.mp4
# YouTube Shorts (vertical 1080x1920)ffmpeg -i out/video.mp4 \  -vf "scale=1080:1920:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1920:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" \  -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a aac -b:a 192k \  out/video-shorts.mp4

Twitter/X

Twitter has strict limits: max 140s, 512MB, 1920x1200:

bash
# Twitter optimized (under 15MB target for fast upload)ffmpeg -i out/video.mp4 \  -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 24 \  -profile:v main -level 3.1 \  -vf "scale='min(1280,iw)':'min(720,ih)':force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" \  -c:a aac -b:a 128k -ar 44100 \  -movflags +faststart \  -fs 15M \  out/video-twitter.mp4
# Check file size and durationffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration,size -of csv=p=0 out/video-twitter.mp4

LinkedIn

LinkedIn prefers MP4 with AAC audio, max 10 minutes:

bash
# LinkedIn optimizedffmpeg -i out/video.mp4 \  -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 22 \  -profile:v main \  -vf "scale='min(1920,iw)':'min(1080,ih)':force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" \  -c:a aac -b:a 192k -ar 48000 \  -movflags +faststart \  out/video-linkedin.mp4

Website/Embed (Optimized for Fast Loading)

bash
# Web-optimized MP4 (small file, progressive loading)ffmpeg -i out/video.mp4 \  -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 26 \  -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 \  -vf "scale=1280:720" \  -c:a aac -b:a 128k \  -movflags +faststart \  out/video-web.mp4
