Encodes a set of images into a video, using custom container format, codec, fps, video filters, and audio track. If input contains video files, this effectively combines and converts them to the specified output format.
av_encode_video(
input,
output = "output.mp4",
framerate = 24,
vfilter = "null",
codec = NULL,
audio = NULL,
verbose = TRUE
)av_video_convert(video, output = "output.mp4", verbose = TRUE)
av_audio_convert(
audio,
output = "output.mp3",
format = NULL,
channels = NULL,
sample_rate = NULL,
bit_rate = NULL,
start_time = NULL,
total_time = NULL,
verbose = TRUE
)
a vector with image or video files. A video input file is treated as a series of images. All input files should have the same width and height.
name of the output file. File extension must correspond to a known
container format such as mp4, mkv, mov, or flv.
video framerate in frames per seconds. This is the input fps, the output fps may be different if you specify a filter that modifies speed or interpolates frames.
a string defining an ffmpeg filter graph. This is the same parameter
as the -vf argument in the ffmpeg command line utility.
name of the video codec as listed in av_encoders. The
default is libx264 for most formats, which usually the best choice.
audio or video input file with sound for the output video
emit some output and a progress meter counting processed images. Must
be TRUE or FALSE or an integer with a valid av_log_level.
input video file with optionally also an audio track
a valid output format name from the list of av_muxers(). Default
NULL infers format from the file extension.
number of output channels. Default NULL will match input.
output sampling rate. Default NULL will match input.
output bitrate (quality). A common value is 192000. Default
NULL will match input.
number greater than 0, seeks in the input file to position.
approximate number of seconds at which to limit the duration of the output file.
The target container format and audio/video codes are automatically determined from
the file extension of the output file, for example mp4, mkv, mov, or flv.
For video output, most systems also support gif output, but the compression~quality
for gif is really bad. The gifski package
is better suited for generating animated gif files. Still using a proper video format
is results in much better quality.
It is recommended to use let ffmpeg choose the suitable codec for a given container
format. Most video formats default to the libx264 video codec which has excellent
compression and works on all modern browsers, operating systems, and digital TVs.
To convert from/to raw PCM audio, use file extensions ".ub" or ".sb" for 8bit
unsigned or signed respectively, or ".uw" or ".sw" for 16-bit, see extensions
in av_muxers(). Alternatively can also convert to other raw audio PCM by setting
for example format = "u16le" (i.e. unsigned 16-bit little-endian) or another option
from the name column in av_muxers().
It is safe to interrupt the encoding process by pressing CTRL+C, or via setTimeLimit. When the encoding is interrupted, the output stream is properly finalized and all open files and resources are properly closed.
