I have 4 transparent videos with the same size, and the duration is just four seconds. They are all in webm format. I want to combine these 4 webm videos.
I used terminal command:
ffmpeg -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 1.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 2.webm -filter_complex overlay aa.webm
ffmpeg -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 3.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 4.webm -filter_complex overlay bb.webm
ffmpeg -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i aa.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i bb.webm -filter_complex overlay output.webm
Is there a solution here that can be solved in one sentence? A simpler solution that would stack these four videos for 4 seconds and maintain transparency?
The solution is relatively straightforward:
ffmpeg -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 1.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 2.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 3.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i 4.webm -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay[aa];[2:v][3:v]overlay[bb];[aa][bb]overlay" -c:v libvpx-vp9 output.webm
Overlay 1.webm and 2.webm to [aa] (temporary name).
[0:v][1:v]overlay[aa]
Overlay 3.webm and 4.webm to [bb] (temporary name).
[2:v][3:v]overlay[bb]
Overlay [aa] and [bb]:
[aa][bb]overlay
