Want to use ffmpeg to publish quickTimes and thumbnails for our asset management system. Evaluating how viable ffmpeg would be as a replacement to our current system. In the past I have done it lots of different ways. I have used After Effects, Nuke, RVIO, python and pil. Thus far I am impressed with ffmpeg but having some difficulty with some parameters. Exploring the drawtext filter. I have the following example. ffmpeg.exe -i C:/temp/input.mov -vf drawtext="arial.ttf=':text='TEST'" C:/temp/output.mov Have a few questions: 1. Is it possible to process multiple drawtext in the same IO stream. I would rather load the movie or image sequence once into memory once then apply each drawtext overlay rather than process the addition of each drawtext and load the file each time. If this is possible can somebody help by showing me the syntax. 2. One of the drawtext burn ins needs to be a frame counter. Is it possible to send some type of internal variable/flag to the value of text that would use the frame number in lieu of static text? 3. Was hoping to get some direction as to how I would take a single frame slate file and append it to a quicktime via ffmpeg. Thanks for the help in advanced.
