ffmpeg with drawtext filenames of diffrent files within a -i concat filelist.txt


with the following script i am able to concatenate multiple video files within a textfile to a single video.

now i want to have the individual names of each source video file displayed in the output video.

here is a example of my source videoList.txt file with filename and filepath

# videoList.txt
file 'C:\video_0020.mp4' 
file 'C:\video_0040.mp4' 
file '..'

and the windows batch file:

@ECHO off
SETLOCAL

SET ffmpeg=C:\ffmpeg\bin
SET inFile=-f concat -i C:\videoList.txt
SET outFile=C:\output.mov

SET codec=-r 24 -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 6
REM videoFilter/filterComplex
SET filterComplex=drawtext=fontfile='C\:\\Windows\\Fonts\\arial.ttf': text='%%{filenameOfEachVideo}'

REM bring it all together
SET commandline=%ffmpeg%\ffmpeg.exe %inFile% -filter_complex "%filterComplex%" %codec% %outFile%

REM execute command
%commandline%

Solution

  • Here is a working example. Please check paths and file extenions before use. I added a lot of comments to make it more clear what the script does. Feel free to use and modifie.
