convert mov to mp4

[!NOTE|label:reference:]

• convert .mov video to .mp4 with ffmpeg

# handbrakecli
$ handbrakecli -i {in-video}.mov -e x264 -E facc -o {out-video}.mp4

# ffmpeg
$ ffmpeg -i {in-video}.mov -vcodec h264 -acodec aac {out-video}.mp4
# or
$ ffmpeg -i input.mov -c copy -movflags +faststart output.mp4

convert video to gif

[!NOTE|label:references:]

• How do I convert a video to GIF using ffmpeg, with reasonable quality?
  • options:
    • -ss 30: skip first 30 seconds
    • -t 3: create a 3 second output
    • fps=10: fps filter sets the frame rate
    • scale=320:-1: resize the output to 320 pixels wide and automatically determine the height, the lanczos scaling algorithm is used in this example.
      • scale=0:-1: do not resize
    • split[s0][s1]: split filter will allow everything to be done in one command and avoids having to create a temporary PNG file of the palette
    • [s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse: palettegen and paletteuse filters will generate and use a custom palette generated from your input
  • ffmpeg options:
    • -vf "fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos" a filtergraph using the fps and scale filters.
    • -c:v pam: chooses the pam image encoder
    • -f image2pipe: chooses the image2pipe muxer
  • convert options:
    • -delay: set frame rate with a combination of the fps filter in ffmpeg
    • -loop 0: makes infinite loop
    • -layers optimize: enable the general purpose GIF optimizer
  • to set rgb -vf scale=320:-1,format=rgb8,format=rgb24
• ImageMagick Examples -- Animation Optimization
• thevangelist/FFMPEG-gif-script-for-bash
