FFmpeg add multiple audio files to video at specific points

5

I have two audio files, each about 3 minutes long. I want to take the first 10 seconds of each file and add them each to a video file at specific points - 0 seconds and 10 seconds. So the resulting video should be 20 seconds long.

I've got this far:

ffmpeg -i video.mov -ss 0 -t 20 -itsoffset 0 -i audio1.mp3 -itsoffset 10 -i audio2.mp3 -acodec copy -vcodec copy out.mov

...but the resulting video has 20 seconds of the first audio file only, the second audio file doesn't start at 10 seconds like it should.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

As requested here is the console output:

Please include the complete ffmpeg console output from your command. It will include information helpful in providing an answer. By "add" do you want to mix the audio from the two audio files with any existing audio in video.mov, or do you want to ignore any audio from video.mov? – llogan – 2014-06-03T04:55:48.410

I've added the complete console output to my question. The video.mov file doesn't have any audio, but if it did I would want to replace it with the new audio tracks. – amba88 – 2014-06-03T15:58:22.110

This is similar to: ffmpeg add new audio in video (mixing 2 audio), but I guess it's different enough not to be an exact duplicate.

atrim filter method

You can use the atrim audio filter to select your desired segments, the asetpts filter to reset timestamps to 0, and the concat filter to concatenate or join them together:

ffmpeg -i video.mov -i audio1.mp3 -i audio2.mp3 -filter_complex \
"[1:a]atrim=end=10,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS[a1]; \
 [2:a]atrim=end=10,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS[a2]; \
 [a1][a2]concat=n=2:v=0:a=1[a] \"
-map 0:v -map "[a]" -codec:v copy -codec:a libmp3lame -shortest output.mov

One advantage of this method is that it is a single command, and additional filters can be applied to the filtergraph if desired. A downside is that it requires that the audio be re-encoded, but the video can be stream copied (re-muxed).

multiple command method

Using the concat demuxer:

$ ffmpeg -i audio1.mp3 -i audio2.mp3 -map 0:a -t 10 -c copy temp1.mp3 \
  -map 1:a -t 10 -c copy temp2.mp3

$ echo "file 'temp1.mp3'" >> input.txt

$ echo "file 'temp2.mp3'" >> input.txt

$ ffmpeg -i video.mov -f concat -i input.txt -map 0:v -map 1:a -c copy \
  -shortest output.mov

Four commands, but there is no re-encoding, so the quality will be retained.

I used the first method and it worked perfectly, thank you! – amba88 – 2014-06-04T15:25:09.390
