FFMPEG - Output video not playing after effect

I am using FFMPEG for giving effects to video.

I tried to give effect to video using below commands.

ffmpeg -i Input1.mp4 -i Input2.mp4 -filter_complex xfade=transition=circleopen:duration=5:offset=0 OutPutVideo.mp4

My command runs fine but output video is not running even in VLC media player.

I got these commands from location: https://ottverse.com/crossfade-between-videos-ffmpeg-xfade-filter/

My videos are at location: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SLsrRUjyGH3eM7Oe3cptU_YPkga7EoCO?usp=sharing

Please advise what is the issue?

Kind Regards,

Solution

  • It is outputting a non-compatible pixel format (yuv444p). Add the format filter to make it output yuv420p which is widely supported:

    ffmpeg -i Input1.mp4 -i Input2.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]xfade=transition=circleopen:duration=5:offset=297,format=yuv420p;[0:a][1:a]acrossfade=d=5" OutPutVideo.mp4
