[mostly a sports/puzzle question at this point] I am trying to take screenshots using complex_filter fps and png output, and I am trying to do this at 2 stages in the pipeline: before and after re-encoding the video. I have multi-stage screenshotting running just fine when the different stages are all *inside* the complex filter. However, I don't seem to be able to "grab" the output of the reencoding. So to speak there is no name given to it to then use in a second filter_complex.
The way I understand it is that the output of the reencoding goes directly to the output file and there is no way to grab it from the second complex filter. Wondering whether somebody can confirm that? Attached is a variant that does double screenshotting, however both sets of screenshots are the original quality, not the reendoing output. In this particular version that is to be expected since I use [0:v] but I have tried many, many variants of this to get to the encoding output and nothing helped. Using an empty input on the second filter didn't work (can't figure out what the inut is and I have no name from the encoding output). #! /bin/sh out="${1%.*}" pictureformat=png BITRATE=6 ffmpeg -y -t 10 \ -vn -an -sn \ -i "$1" \ -filter_complex \ "[0:v] split [vid][preshots] ;[preshots] fps=1/1 [preshots] " \ -map '[preshots]' "$out-snot%04d-tee0.$pictureformat" \ -map '[vid]' -map '0:a' -map '0:s' \ -c:v ${CODEC-libx264} \ -b:v ${BITRATE-6000}k \ -c:a ${ACODEC-copy} \ -c:s copy \ -filter_complex \ "[0:v] split [vid][postshots] ;[postshots] fps=1/1 [postshots] " \ -map '[vid]' -map '0:a' -map '0:s' ${out}_smaller.mkv \ -map '[postshots]' "$out-snot%04d-tee1.$pictureformat" \ || exit -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <craca...@cons.org> http://www.cons.org/cracauer/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
