Learn about video processing, FFmpeg workflows, automation, and scaling tips.
Encoding a video once and deriving every delivery version from it: the mezzanine command, CRF and preset per rung, social crops, and the one-call version.
Turn a screen recording to GIF for your README: crop to the app window, drop to 12 fps, and run FFmpeg's palette pass to land under GitHub's 10 MB cap.
Fix ffmpeg subtitle delay with -itsoffset: shift an SRT by a constant, spot framerate drift that no offset fixes, and generate synced captions from the API.
Overlay images on video with one API call or raw FFmpeg: logo stamps, lower thirds, picture-in-picture, timed fades, and the alpha and scale2ref gotchas.
Normalize audio loudness across a video library with FFmpeg loudnorm two-pass, EBU R128 targets, and one API call. Real commands, LUFS targets, and pitfalls.
Fix 'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command. Diagnose ffmpeg not recognized: install check, PATH bin folder, stray spaces, restart.
How to batch transcode a folder of videos with one workflow: fan out jobs to a video API, handle retries and webhooks, and skip the FFmpeg install.
A video watermarking API for UGC and branded content: FFmpeg overlay commands, the one-call equivalent, batch workflows in n8n or Make, and the honest limits.
A working n8n video automation build: turn one long video into captioned vertical clips with transcripts, cut points, and one API call per render. No FFmpeg.
Hit Make.com's file size limit on video? Stop downloading the file. Pass the URL to a video API, poll the job, and map the output URL back into your scenario.
