A fluent API to FFMPEG (http://www.ffmpeg.org) with types from @types/fluent-ffmpeg (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/fluent-ffmpeg)
npm install @ts-ffmpeg/fluent-ffmpeg
Via npm:
``shfluent-ffmpeg@2.1this lib starts from v2.2.0, which is the same code with
. I just reduce the useless code in npm lib.`
$ npm install @ts-ffmpeg/fluent-ffmpeg
The fluent-ffmpeg module returns a constructor that you can use to instanciate FFmpeg commands.
`ts`
// ts
import ffmpeg from '@ts-ffmpeg/fluent-ffmpeg'
const command = ffmpeg();
You may pass an input file name or readable stream, a configuration object, or both to the constructor.
`js`
const command = ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi');
const command = ffmpeg(fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file.avi'));
const command = ffmpeg({ option: "value", ... });
const command = ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi', { option: "value", ... });
The following options are available:
* source: input file name or readable stream (ignored if an input file is passed to the constructor)timeout
* : ffmpeg timeout in seconds (defaults to no timeout)preset
* or presets: directory to load module presets from (defaults to the lib/presets directory in fluent-ffmpeg tree)niceness
* or priority: ffmpeg niceness value, between -20 and 20; ignored on Windows platforms (defaults to 0)logger
* : logger object with debug(), info(), warn() and error() methods (defaults to no logging)stdoutLines
* : maximum number of lines from ffmpeg stdout/stderr to keep in memory (defaults to 100, use 0 for unlimited storage)
You can add any number of inputs to an Ffmpeg command. An input can be:
* a file name (eg. /path/to/file.avi);/path/to/frame%03d.png
* an image pattern (eg. );
* a readable stream; only one input stream may be used for a command, but you can use both an input stream and one or several file names.
`js
// Note that all fluent-ffmpeg methods are chainable
ffmpeg('/path/to/input1.avi')
.input('/path/to/input2.avi')
.input(fs.createReadStream('/path/to/input3.avi'));
// Passing an input to the constructor is the same as calling .input()
ffmpeg()
.input('/path/to/input1.avi')
.input('/path/to/input2.avi');
// Most methods have several aliases, here you may use addInput or mergeAdd instead
ffmpeg()
.addInput('/path/to/frame%02d.png')
.addInput('/path/to/soundtrack.mp3');
ffmpeg()
.mergeAdd('/path/to/input1.avi')
.mergeAdd('/path/to/input2.avi');
`
for typing. So you can easily import lib by require or import. For more examples, you can explore the doc below. They are all the same with the lib fluent-ffmpeg.

Below are doc from legacy project
Fluent-ffmpeg is now deprecated
This library is no longer maintained and no longer works properly with recent ffmpeg versions. Use it as your own risk, this repository is readonly and does not accept issues or PRs.
About
This library abstracts the complex command-line usage of ffmpeg into a fluent, easy to use node.js module. In order to be able to use this module, make sure you have ffmpeg installed on your system (including all necessary encoding libraries like libmp3lame or libx264).
> This is the documentation for fluent-ffmpeg 2.x.
> You can still access the code and documentation for fluent-ffmpeg 1.7 here.
Installation
Via npm:
`sh
$ npm install fluent-ffmpeg
`Or as a submodule:
sh
$ git submodule add git://github.com/schaermu/node-fluent-ffmpeg.git vendor/fluent-ffmpeg
`Usage
You will find a lot of usage examples (including a real-time streaming example using flowplayer and express!) in the
folder.

#### ffmpeg and ffprobe
fluent-ffmpeg requires ffmpeg >= 0.9 to work. It may work with previous versions but several features won't be available (and the library is not tested with lower versions anylonger).
If the
FFMPEG_PATH environment variable is set, fluent-ffmpeg will use it as the full path to the ffmpeg executable. Otherwise, it will attempt to call ffmpeg directly (so it should be in your PATH). You must also have ffprobe installed (it comes with ffmpeg in most distributions). Similarly, fluent-ffmpeg will use the FFPROBE_PATH environment variable if it is set, otherwise it will attempt to call it in the PATH.Most features should work when using avconv and avprobe instead of ffmpeg and ffprobe, but they are not officially supported at the moment.
Windows users: most probably ffmpeg and ffprobe will _not_ be in your
%PATH, so you _must_ set %FFMPEG_PATH and %FFPROBE_PATH.Debian/Ubuntu users: the official repositories have the ffmpeg/ffprobe executable in the
libav-tools package, and they are actually rebranded avconv/avprobe executables (avconv is a fork of ffmpeg). They should be mostly compatible, but should you encounter any issue, you may want to use the real ffmpeg instead. You can either compile it from source or find a pre-built .deb package at https://ffmpeg.org/download.html (For Ubuntu, the ppa:mc3man/trusty-media PPA provides recent builds).#### flvtool2 or flvmeta
If you intend to encode FLV videos, you must have either flvtool2 or flvmeta installed and in your
PATH or fluent-ffmpeg won't be able to produce streamable output files. If you set either the FLVTOOL2_PATH or FLVMETA_PATH, fluent-ffmpeg will try to use it instead of searching in the PATH.#### Setting binary paths manually
Alternatively, you may set the ffmpeg, ffprobe and flvtool2/flvmeta binary paths manually by using the following API commands:
* Ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath(path) Argument
path is a string with the full path to the ffmpeg binary.
* Ffmpeg.setFfprobePath(path) Argument path is a string with the full path to the ffprobe binary.
* Ffmpeg.setFlvtoolPath(path) Argument path is a string with the full path to the flvtool2 or flvmeta binary.
$3
The fluent-ffmpeg module returns a constructor that you can use to instanciate FFmpeg commands.
`js
var FfmpegCommand = require('@ts-ffmpeg/fluent-ffmpeg');
var command = new FfmpegCommand();
`You can also use the constructor without the
operator.`js
var ffmpeg = require('@ts-ffmpeg/fluent-ffmpeg');
var command = ffmpeg();
`You may pass an input file name or readable stream, a configuration object, or both to the constructor.
js
var command = ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi');
var command = ffmpeg(fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file.avi'));
var command = ffmpeg({ option: "value", ... });
var command = ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi', { option: "value", ... });
`The following options are available:
*
: input file name or readable stream (ignored if an input file is passed to the constructor)
* timeout: ffmpeg process timeout in seconds (defaults to no timeout)
* terminateTimeout: ffmpeg terminate timeout in milliseconds (defaults to 20 milliseconds)
* preset or presets: directory to load module presets from (defaults to the lib/presets directory in fluent-ffmpeg tree)
* niceness or priority: ffmpeg niceness value, between -20 and 20; ignored on Windows platforms (defaults to 0)
* logger: logger object with debug(), info(), warn() and error() methods (defaults to no logging)
* stdoutLines: maximum number of lines from ffmpeg stdout/stderr to keep in memory (defaults to 100, use 0 for unlimited storage)
$3
You can add any number of inputs to an Ffmpeg command. An input can be:
* a file name (eg.
/path/to/file.avi);
* an image pattern (eg. /path/to/frame%03d.png);
* a readable stream; only one input stream may be used for a command, but you can use both an input stream and one or several file names.`js
// Note that all fluent-ffmpeg methods are chainable
ffmpeg('/path/to/input1.avi')
.input('/path/to/input2.avi')
.input(fs.createReadStream('/path/to/input3.avi'));// Passing an input to the constructor is the same as calling .input()
ffmpeg()
.input('/path/to/input1.avi')
.input('/path/to/input2.avi');
// Most methods have several aliases, here you may use addInput or mergeAdd instead
ffmpeg()
.addInput('/path/to/frame%02d.png')
.addInput('/path/to/soundtrack.mp3');
ffmpeg()
.mergeAdd('/path/to/input1.avi')
.mergeAdd('/path/to/input2.avi');
`
$3
The following methods enable passing input-related options to ffmpeg. Each of these methods apply on the last input added (including the one passed to the constructor, if any). You must add an input before calling those, or an error will be thrown.
#### inputFormat(format): specify input format
Aliases:
, withInputFormat().This is only useful for raw inputs, as ffmpeg can determine the input format automatically.
`js
ffmpeg()
.input('/dev/video0')
.inputFormat('mov')
.input('/path/to/file.avi')
.inputFormat('avi');
`Fluent-ffmpeg checks for format availability before actually running the command, and throws an error when a specified input format is not available.
#### inputFPS(fps): specify input framerate
Aliases:
, withInputFPS(), withFpsInput(), withFPSInput(), inputFps(), fpsInput(), FPSInput().This is only valid for raw inputs, as ffmpeg can determine the input framerate automatically.
`js
ffmpeg('/dev/video0').inputFPS(29.7);
`#### native(): read input at native framerate
Aliases:
, withNativeFramerate().`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').native();
`#### seekInput(time): set input start time
Alias:
.Seeks an input and only start decoding at given time offset. The
time argument may be a number (in seconds) or a timestamp string (with format [[hh:]mm:]ss[.xxx]).`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').seekInput(134.5);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').seekInput('2:14.500');
`#### loop([duration]): loop over input
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').loop();
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').loop(134.5);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').loop('2:14.500');
`#### inputOptions(option...): add custom input options
Aliases:
, addInputOption(), addInputOptions(), withInputOption(), withInputOptions().This method allows passing any input-related option to ffmpeg. You can call it with a single argument to pass a single option, optionally with a space-separated parameter:
`js
/ Single option /
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').inputOptions('-someOption');/ Single option with parameter /
ffmpeg('/dev/video0').inputOptions('-r 24');
`You may also pass multiple options at once by passing an array to the method:
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').inputOptions([
'-option1',
'-option2 param2',
'-option3',
'-option4 param4'
]);
`Finally, you may also directly pass command line tokens as separate arguments to the method:
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').inputOptions(
'-option1',
'-option2', 'param2',
'-option3',
'-option4', 'param4'
);
`
$3
The following methods change the audio stream(s) in the produced output.
#### noAudio(): disable audio altogether
Aliases:
.Disables audio in the output and remove any previously set audio option.
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').noAudio();
`#### audioCodec(codec): set audio codec
Aliases:
.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').audioCodec('libmp3lame');
`Fluent-ffmpeg checks for codec availability before actually running the command, and throws an error when a specified audio codec is not available.
#### audioBitrate(bitrate): set audio bitrate
Aliases:
.Sets the audio bitrate in kbps. The
bitrate parameter may be a number or a string with an optional k suffix. This method is used to enforce a constant bitrate; use audioQuality() to encode using a variable bitrate.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').audioBitrate(128);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').audioBitrate('128');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').audioBitrate('128k');
`#### audioChannels(count): set audio channel count
Aliases:
.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').audioChannels(2);
`#### audioFrequency(freq): set audio frequency
Aliases:
.The
freq parameter specifies the audio frequency in Hz.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').audioFrequency(22050);
`#### audioQuality(quality): set audio quality
Aliases:
.This method fixes a quality factor for the audio codec (VBR encoding). The quality scale depends on the actual codec used.
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.audioCodec('libmp3lame')
.audioQuality(0);
`#### audioFilters(filter...): add custom audio filters
Aliases:
, withAudioFilter(), withAudioFilters().This method enables adding custom audio filters. You may add multiple filters at once by passing either several arguments or an array. See the Ffmpeg documentation for available filters and their syntax.
Each filter pased to this method can be either a filter string (eg.
volume=0.5) or a filter specification object with the following keys:
* filter: filter name
* options: optional; either an option string for the filter (eg. n=-50dB:d=5), an options array for unnamed options (eg. ['-50dB', 5]) or an object mapping option names to values (eg. { n: '-50dB', d: 5 }). When options is not specified, the filter will be added without any options.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.audioFilters('volume=0.5')
.audioFilters('silencedetect=n=-50dB:d=5');ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.audioFilters('volume=0.5', 'silencedetect=n=-50dB:d=5');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.audioFilters(['volume=0.5', 'silencedetect=n=-50dB:d=5']);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.audioFilters([
{
filter: 'volume',
options: '0.5'
},
{
filter: 'silencedetect',
options: 'n=-50dB:d=5'
}
]);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.audioFilters(
{
filter: 'volume',
options: ['0.5']
},
{
filter: 'silencedetect',
options: { n: '-50dB', d: 5 }
}
]);
`

The following methods change the video stream(s) in the produced output.
#### noVideo(): disable video altogether
Aliases:
.This method disables video output and removes any previously set video option.
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').noVideo();
`#### videoCodec(codec): set video codec
Aliases:
.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').videoCodec('libx264');
`Fluent-ffmpeg checks for codec availability before actually running the command, and throws an error when a specified video codec is not available.
#### videoBitrate(bitrate[, constant=false]): set video bitrate
Aliases:
.Sets the target video bitrate in kbps. The
bitrate argument may be a number or a string with an optional k suffix. The constant argument specifies whether a constant bitrate should be enforced (defaults to false).Keep in mind that, depending on the codec used, enforcing a constant bitrate often comes at the cost of quality. The best way to have a constant video bitrate without losing too much quality is to use 2-pass encoding (see Fffmpeg documentation).
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').videoBitrate(1000);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').videoBitrate('1000');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').videoBitrate('1000k');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').videoBitrate('1000k', true);
`#### videoFilters(filter...): add custom video filters
Aliases:
, withVideoFilter(), withVideoFilters().This method enables adding custom video filters. You may add multiple filters at once by passing either several arguments or an array. See the Ffmpeg documentation for available filters and their syntax.
Each filter pased to this method can be either a filter string (eg.
fade=in:0:30) or a filter specification object with the following keys:
* filter: filter name
* options: optional; either an option string for the filter (eg. in:0:30), an options array for unnamed options (eg. ['in', 0, 30]) or an object mapping option names to values (eg. { t: 'in', s: 0, n: 30 }). When options is not specified, the filter will be added without any options.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoFilters('fade=in:0:30')
.videoFilters('pad=640:480:0:40:violet');ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoFilters('fade=in:0:30', 'pad=640:480:0:40:violet');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoFilters(['fade=in:0:30', 'pad=640:480:0:40:violet']);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoFilters([
{
filter: 'fade',
options: 'in:0:30'
},
{
filter: 'pad',
options: '640:480:0:40:violet'
}
]);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoFilters(
{
filter: 'fade',
options: ['in', 0, 30]
},
{
filter: 'filter2',
options: { w: 640, h: 480, x: 0, y: 40, color: 'violet' }
}
);
`#### fps(fps): set output framerate
Aliases:
, withOutputFPS(), withFpsOutput(), withFPSOutput(), withFps(), withFPS(), outputFPS(), outputFps(), fpsOutput(), FPSOutput(), FPS().`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').fps(29.7);
`#### frames(count): specify frame count
Aliases:
, withFrames().Set ffmpeg to only encode a certain number of frames.
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').frames(240);
`
$3
The following methods enable resizing the output video frame size. They all work together to generate the appropriate video filters.
#### size(size): set output frame size
Aliases:
, withSize().This method sets the output frame size. The
size argument may have one of the following formats:
* 640x480: set a fixed output frame size. Unless autopad() is called, this may result in the video being stretched or squeezed to fit the requested size.
* 640x?: set a fixed width and compute height automatically. If aspect() is also called, it is used to compute video height; otherwise it is computed so that the input aspect ratio is preserved.
* ?x480: set a fixed height and compute width automatically. If aspect() is also called, it is used to compute video width; otherwise it is computed so that the input aspect ratio is preserved.
* 50%: rescale both width and height to the given percentage. Aspect ratio is always preserved.Note that for compatibility with some codecs, computed dimensions are always rounded down to multiples of 2.
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x480');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').aspect('4:3');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('50%');
`#### aspect(aspect): set output frame aspect ratio
Aliases:
, withAspectRatio(), setAspect(), setAspectRatio(), aspectRatio().This method enforces a specific output aspect ratio. The
aspect argument may either be a number or a X:Y string.Note that calls to
aspect() are ignored when size() has been called with a fixed width and height or a percentage, and also when size() has not been called at all.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').aspect('4:3');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').aspect(1.33333);
`#### autopad([color='black']): enable auto-padding the output video
Aliases:
, applyAutoPadding(), applyAutopad(), applyAutoPad(), withAutopadding(), withAutoPadding(), withAutopad(), withAutoPad(), autoPad().This method enables applying auto-padding to the output video. The
color parameter specifies which color to use for padding, and must be a color code or name supported by ffmpeg (defaults to 'black').The behaviour of this method depends on calls made to other video size methods:
* when
size() has been called with a percentage or has not been called, it is ignored;
* when size() has been called with WxH, it adds padding so that the input aspect ratio is kept;
* when size() has been called with either Wx? or ?xH, padding is only added if aspect() was called (otherwise the output dimensions are computed from the input aspect ratio and padding is not needed).`js
// No size specified, autopad() is ignored
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').autopad();// Adds padding to keep original aspect ratio.
// - with a 640x400 input, 40 pixels of padding are added on both sides
// - with a 600x480 input, 20 pixels of padding are added on top and bottom
// - with a 320x200 input, video is scaled up to 640x400 and 40px of padding
// is added on both sides
// - with a 320x240 input, video is scaled up to 640x480 and and no padding
// is needed
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x480').autopad();
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x480').autopad('white');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x480').autopad('#35A5FF');
// Size computed from input, autopad() is ignored
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('50%').autopad();
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').autopad();
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('?x480').autopad();
// Calling .size('640x?').aspect('4:3') is similar to calling .size('640x480')
// - with a 640x400 input, 40 pixels of padding are added on both sides
// - with a 600x480 input, 20 pixels of padding are added on top and bottom
// - with a 320x200 input, video is scaled up to 640x400 and 40px of padding
// is added on both sides
// - with a 320x240 input, video is scaled up to 640x480 and and no padding
// is needed
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').aspect('4:3').autopad();
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').aspect('4:3').autopad('white');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x?').aspect('4:3').autopad('#35A5FF');
// Calling .size('?x480').aspect('4:3') is similar to calling .size('640x480')
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('?x480').aspect('4:3').autopad();
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('?x480').aspect('4:3').autopad('white');
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('?x480').aspect('4:3').autopad('#35A5FF');
`For compatibility with previous fluent-ffmpeg versions, this method also accepts an additional boolean first argument, which specifies whether to apply auto-padding.
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x480').autopad(true);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').size('640x480').autopad(true, 'pink');
`#### keepDAR(): force keeping display aspect ratio
Aliases:
, keepDisplayAspect(), keepDisplayAspectRatio().This method is useful when converting an input with non-square pixels to an output format that does not support non-square pixels (eg. most image formats). It rescales the input so that the display aspect ratio is the same.
`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').keepDAR();
`$3
#### output(target[, options]): add an output to the command
Aliases:
.Adds an output to the command. The
target argument may be an output filename or a writable stream (but at most one output stream may be used with a single command).When
target is a stream, an additional options object may be passed. If it is present, it will be passed ffmpeg output stream pipe() method.Adding an output switches the "current output" of the command, so that any fluent-ffmpeg method that applies to an output is indeed applied to the last output added. For backwards compatibility reasons, you may as well call those methods _before_ adding the first output (in which case they will apply to the first output when it is added). Methods that apply to an output are all non-input-related methods, except for
complexFilter(), which is global.Also note that when calling
output(), you should not use the save() or stream() (formerly saveToFile() and writeToStream()) methods, as they already add an output. Use the run() method to start processing.`js
var stream = fs.createWriteStream('outputfile.divx');ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.output('outputfile.mp4')
.output(stream);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
// You may pass a pipe() options object when using a stream
.output(stream, { end:true });
// Output-related methods apply to the last output added
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.output('outputfile.mp4')
.audioCodec('libfaac')
.videoCodec('libx264')
.size('320x200')
.output(stream)
.preset('divx')
.size('640x480');
// Use the run() method to run commands with multiple outputs
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.output('outputfile.mp4')
.output(stream)
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Finished processing');
})
.run();
`
$3
#### duration(time): set output duration
Aliases:
, setDuration().Forces ffmpeg to stop transcoding after a specific output duration. The
time parameter may be a number (in seconds) or a timestamp string (with format [[hh:]mm:]ss[.xxx]).`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').duration(134.5);
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').duration('2:14.500');
`#### seek(time): seek output
Aliases:
.Seeks streams before encoding them into the output. This is different from calling
seekInput() in that the offset will only apply to one output. This is also slower, as skipped frames will still be decoded (but dropped).The
time argument may be a number (in seconds) or a timestamp string (with format [[hh:]mm:]ss[.xxx]).`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.seekInput('1:00') .output('from-1m30s.avi')
.seek(30)
.output('from-1m40s.avi')
.seek('0:40');
`#### format(format): set output format
Aliases:
, toFormat(), outputFormat().`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').format('flv');
`#### flvmeta(): update FLV metadata after transcoding
Aliases:
.Calling this method makes fluent-ffmpeg run
flvmeta or flvtool2 on the output file to add FLV metadata and make files streamable. It does not work when outputting to a stream, and is only useful when outputting to FLV format.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').flvmeta().format('flv');
`#### outputOptions(option...): add custom output options
Aliases:
, addOutputOption(), addOutputOptions(), withOutputOption(), withOutputOptions(), addOption(), addOptions().This method allows passing any output-related option to ffmpeg. You can call it with a single argument to pass a single option, optionally with a space-separated parameter:
`js
/ Single option /
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').outputOptions('-someOption');/ Single option with parameter /
ffmpeg('/dev/video0').outputOptions('-r 24');
`You may also pass multiple options at once by passing an array to the method:
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').outputOptions([
'-option1',
'-option2 param2',
'-option3',
'-option4 param4'
]);
`Finally, you may also directly pass command line tokens as separate arguments to the method:
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').outputOptions(
'-option1',
'-option2', 'param2',
'-option3',
'-option4', 'param4'
);

#### preset(preset): use fluent-ffmpeg preset
Aliases:
.There are two kinds of presets supported by fluent-ffmpeg. The first one is preset modules; to use those, pass the preset name as the
preset argument. Preset modules are loaded from the directory specified by the presets constructor option (defaults to the lib/presets fluent-ffmpeg subdirectory).`js
// Uses /lib/presets/divx.js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').preset('divx');// Uses /my/presets/foo.js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi', { presets: '/my/presets' }).preset('foo');
`Preset modules must export a
function that takes an FfmpegCommand as an argument. fluent-ffmpeg comes with the following preset modules preinstalled:*
divx
*
* Here is the code from the included
preset as an example:`js
exports.load = function(ffmpeg) {
ffmpeg
.format('avi')
.videoBitrate('1024k')
.videoCodec('mpeg4')
.size('720x?')
.audioBitrate('128k')
.audioChannels(2)
.audioCodec('libmp3lame')
.outputOptions(['-vtag DIVX']);
};
`The second kind of preset is preset functions. To use those, pass a function which takes an FfmpegCommand as a parameter.
js
function myPreset(command) {
command.format('avi').size('720x?');
}ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi').preset(myPreset);
`#### complexFilter(filters[, map]): set complex filtergraph
Aliases:
The
method enables setting a complex filtergraph for a command. It expects a filter specification (or a filter specification array) and an optional output mapping parameter as arguments.Filter specifications may be either plain ffmpeg filter strings (eg.
split=3[a][b][c]) or objects with the following keys:
* filter: filter name
* options: optional; either an option string for the filter (eg. in:0:30), an options array for unnamed options (eg. ['in', 0, 30]) or an object mapping option names to values (eg. { t: 'in', s: 0, n: 30 }). When options is not specified, the filter will be added without any options.
* inputs: optional; input stream specifier(s) for the filter. The value may be either a single stream specifier string or an array of stream specifiers. Each specifier can be optionally enclosed in square brackets. When input streams are not specified, ffmpeg will use the first unused streams of the correct type.
* outputs: optional; output stream specifier(s) for the filter. The value may be either a single stream specifier string or an array of stream specifiers. Each specifier can be optionally enclosed in square brackets.The output mapping parameter specifies which stream(s) to include in the output from the filtergraph. It may be either a single stream specifier string or an array of stream specifiers. Each specifier can be optionally enclosed in square brackets. When this parameter is not present, ffmpeg will default to saving all unused outputs to the output file.
Note that only one complex filtergraph may be set on a given command. Calling
complexFilter() again will override any previously set filtergraph, but you can set as many filters as needed in a single call.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.complexFilter([
// Rescale input stream into stream 'rescaled'
'scale=640:480[rescaled]', // Duplicate rescaled stream 3 times into streams a, b, and c
{
filter: 'split', options: '3',
inputs: 'rescaled', outputs: ['a', 'b', 'c']
},
// Create stream 'red' by removing green and blue channels from stream 'a'
{
filter: 'lutrgb', options: { g: 0, b: 0 },
inputs: 'a', outputs: 'red'
},
// Create stream 'green' by removing red and blue channels from stream 'b'
{
filter: 'lutrgb', options: { r: 0, b: 0 },
inputs: 'b', outputs: 'green'
},
// Create stream 'blue' by removing red and green channels from stream 'c'
{
filter: 'lutrgb', options: { r: 0, g: 0 },
inputs: 'c', outputs: 'blue'
},
// Pad stream 'red' to 3x width, keeping the video on the left,
// and name output 'padded'
{
filter: 'pad', options: { w: 'iw*3', h: 'ih' },
inputs: 'red', outputs: 'padded'
},
// Overlay 'green' onto 'padded', moving it to the center,
// and name output 'redgreen'
{
filter: 'overlay', options: { x: 'w', y: 0 },
inputs: ['padded', 'green'], outputs: 'redgreen'
},
// Overlay 'blue' onto 'redgreen', moving it to the right
{
filter: 'overlay', options: { x: '2*w', y: 0 },
inputs: ['redgreen', 'blue'], outputs: 'output'
},
], 'output');
`
$3
Before actually running a command, you may want to set event listeners on it to be notified when it's done. The following events are available:
#### 'start': ffmpeg process started
The
event is emitted just after ffmpeg has been spawned. It is emitted with the full command line used as an argument.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.on('start', function(commandLine) {
console.log('Spawned Ffmpeg with command: ' + commandLine);
});
`#### 'codecData': input codec data available
The
event is emitted when ffmpeg outputs codec information about its input streams. It is emitted with an object argument with the following keys:
* format: input format
* duration: input duration
* audio: audio codec
* audio_details: audio encoding details
* video: video codec
* video_details: video encoding details`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.on('codecData', function(data) {
console.log('Input is ' + data.audio + ' audio ' +
'with ' + data.video + ' video');
});
`#### 'progress': transcoding progress information
The
event is emitted every time ffmpeg reports progress information. It is emitted with an object argument with the following keys:
* frames: total processed frame count
* currentFps: framerate at which FFmpeg is currently processing
* currentKbps: throughput at which FFmpeg is currently processing
* targetSize: current size of the target file in kilobytes
* timemark: the timestamp of the current frame in seconds
* percent: an estimation of the progress percentageNote that
percent can be (very) inaccurate, as the only progress information fluent-ffmpeg gets from ffmpeg is the total number of frames written (and the corresponding duration). To estimate percentage, fluent-ffmpeg has to guess what the total output duration will be, and uses the first input added to the command to do so. In particular:
* percentage is not available when using an input stream
* percentage may be wrong when using multiple inputs with different durations and the first one is not the longest`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.on('progress', function(progress) {
console.log('Processing: ' + progress.percent + '% done');
});
`#### 'stderr': FFmpeg output
The
event is emitted every time FFmpeg outputs a line to stderr. It is emitted with a string containing the line of stderr (minus trailing new line characters).`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.on('stderr', function(stderrLine) {
console.log('Stderr output: ' + stderrLine);
});
`#### 'error': transcoding error
The
event is emitted when an error occurs when running ffmpeg or when preparing its execution. It is emitted with an error object as an argument. If the error happened during ffmpeg execution, listeners will also receive two additional arguments containing ffmpegs stdout and stderr.If streams are used for input or output, any errors emitted from these streams will be passed through to this event, attached to the
error as inputStreamError and outputStreamError for input and output streams respectively.Warning: you should _always_ set a handler for the
error event, as node's default behaviour when an error event without any listeners is emitted is to output the error to the console and _terminate the program_.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.on('error', function(err, stdout, stderr) {
console.log('Cannot process video: ' + err.message);
});
`#### 'end': processing finished
The
event is emitted when processing has finished. Listeners receive ffmpeg standard output and standard error as arguments, except when generating thumbnails (see below), in which case they receive an array of the generated filenames.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.on('end', function(stdout, stderr) {
console.log('Transcoding succeeded !');
});
` is empty when the command outputs to a stream. Both stdout and stderr are limited by the stdoutLines option (defaults to 100 lines).
$3
#### save(filename): save the output to a file
Aliases:
saveToFile()Starts ffmpeg processing and saves the output to a file.
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoCodec('libx264')
.audioCodec('libmp3lame')
.size('320x240')
.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Processing finished !');
})
.save('/path/to/output.mp4');
`Note: the
method is actually syntactic sugar for calling both output() and run().#### pipe([stream], [options]): pipe the output to a writable stream
Aliases:
stream(), writeToStream().Starts processing and pipes ffmpeg output to a writable stream. The
options argument, if present, is passed to ffmpeg output stream's pipe() method (see nodejs documentation).`js
var outStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/output.mp4');ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoCodec('libx264')
.audioCodec('libmp3lame')
.size('320x240')
.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Processing finished !');
})
.pipe(outStream, { end: true });
`When no
argument is present, the pipe() method returns a PassThrough stream, which you can pipe to somewhere else (or just listen to events on).Note: this is only available with node >= 0.10.
`js
var command = ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.videoCodec('libx264')
.audioCodec('libmp3lame')
.size('320x240')
.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Processing finished !');
});var ffstream = command.pipe();
ffstream.on('data', function(chunk) {
console.log('ffmpeg just wrote ' + chunk.length + ' bytes');
});
`Note: the
method is actually syntactic sugar for calling both output() and run().#### run(): start processing
Aliases:
exec(), execute().This method is mainly useful when producing multiple outputs (otherwise the
save() or stream() methods are more straightforward). It starts processing with the specified outputs.Warning: do not use
run() when calling other processing methods (eg. save(), pipe() or screenshots()).`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.output('screenshot.png')
.noAudio()
.seek('3:00') .output('small.avi')
.audioCodec('copy')
.size('320x200')
.output('big.avi')
.audioCodec('copy')
.size('640x480')
.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Processing finished !');
})
.run();
`#### mergeToFile(filename, tmpdir): concatenate multiple inputs
Use the
and mergeToFile methods on a command to concatenate multiple inputs to a single output file. The mergeToFile needs a temporary folder as its second argument.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/part1.avi')
.input('/path/to/part2.avi')
.input('/path/to/part2.avi')
.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Merging finished !');
})
.mergeToFile('/path/to/merged.avi', '/path/to/tempDir');
`#### screenshots(options[, dirname]): generate thumbnails
Aliases:
, thumbnails(), screenshot(), takeScreenshots().Use the
screenshots method to extract one or several thumbnails and save them as PNG files. There are a few caveats with this implementation, though:* It will not work on input streams.
* Progress information reported by the
progress event is not accurate.
* It doesn't interract well with filters. In particular, don't use the size() method to resize thumbnails, use the size option instead.The
options argument is an object with the following keys:*
folder: output folder for generated image files. Defaults to the current folder.
* filename: output filename pattern (see below). Defaults to "tn.png".
* count: specifies how many thumbnails to generate. When using this option, thumbnails are generated at regular intervals in the video (for example, when requesting 3 thumbnails, at 25%, 50% and 75% of the video length). count is ignored when timemarks or timestamps is specified.
* timemarks or timestamps: specifies an array of timestamps in the video where thumbnails should be taken. Each timestamp may be a number (in seconds), a percentage string (eg. "50%") or a timestamp string with format "hh:mm:ss.xxx" (where hours, minutes and milliseconds are both optional).
* size: specifies a target size for thumbnails (with the same format as the .size() method). Note: you should not use the .size() method when generating thumbnails.The
filename option specifies a filename pattern for generated files. It may contain the following format tokens:* '%s': offset in seconds
* '%w': screenshot width
* '%h': screenshot height
* '%r': screenshot resolution (same as '%wx%h')
* '%f': input filename
* '%b': input basename (filename w/o extension)
* '%i': index of screenshot in timemark array (can be zero-padded by using it like
%000i)If multiple timemarks are passed and no variable format token ('%s' or '%i') is specified in the filename pattern,
_%i will be added automatically.When generating thumbnails, an additional
filenames event is dispatched with an array of generated filenames as an argument.`js
ffmpeg('/path/to/video.avi')
.on('filenames', function(filenames) {
console.log('Will generate ' + filenames.join(', '))
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Screenshots taken');
})
.screenshots({
// Will take screens at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the video
count: 4,
folder: '/path/to/output'
});ffmpeg('/path/to/video.avi')
.screenshots({
timestamps: [30.5, '50%', '01:10.123'],
filename: 'thumbnail-at-%s-seconds.png',
folder: '/path/to/output',
size: '320x240'
});
`$3
#### kill([signal='SIGKILL']): kill any running ffmpeg process
This method sends
(defaults to 'SIGKILL') to the ffmpeg process. It only has sense when processing has started. Sending a signal that terminates the process will result in the error event being emitted.`js
var command = ffmpeg('/path/to/video.avi')
.videoCodec('libx264')
.audioCodec('libmp3lame')
.on('start', function() {
// Send SIGSTOP to suspend ffmpeg
command.kill('SIGSTOP'); doSomething(function() {
// Send SIGCONT to resume ffmpeg
command.kill('SIGCONT');
});
})
.save('/path/to/output.mp4');
// Kill ffmpeg after 60 seconds anyway
setTimeout(function() {
command.on('error', function() {
console.log('Ffmpeg has been killed');
});
command.kill();
}, 60000);
`#### renice([niceness=0]): change ffmpeg process priority
This method alters the niceness (priority) value of any running ffmpeg process (if any) and any process spawned in the future. The
parameter may range from -20 (highest priority) to 20 (lowest priority) and defaults to 0 (which is the default process niceness on most *nix systems).Note: this method is ineffective on Windows platforms.
`js
// Set startup niceness
var command = ffmpeg('/path/to/file.avi')
.renice(5)
.save('/path/to/output.mp4');// Command takes too long, raise its priority
setTimeout(function() {
command.renice(-5);
}, 60000);
`
$3
You can read metadata from any valid ffmpeg input file with the modules
method.`js
ffmpeg.ffprobe('/path/to/file.avi', function(err, metadata) {
console.dir(metadata);
});
`You may also call the ffprobe method on an FfmpegCommand to probe one of its input. You may pass a 0-based input number as a first argument to specify which input to read metadata from, otherwise the method will probe the last added input.
js
ffmpeg('/path/to/file1.avi')
.input('/path/to/file2.avi')
.ffprobe(function(err, data) {
console.log('file2 metadata:');
console.dir(data);
});ffmpeg('/path/to/file1.avi')
.input('/path/to/file2.avi')
.ffprobe(0, function(err, data) {
console.log('file1 metadata:');
console.dir(data);
});
`Warning: ffprobe may be called with an input stream, but in this case it will consume data from the stream, and this data will no longer be available for ffmpeg. Using both ffprobe and a transcoding command on the same input stream will most likely fail unless the stream is a live stream. Only do this if you know what you're doing.
The returned object is the same that is returned by running the following command from your shell (depending on your ffmpeg version you may have to replace
with -print_format) :`sh
$ ffprobe -of json -show_streams -show_format /path/to/file.avi
`It will contain information about the container (as a
key) and an array of streams (as a stream key). The format object and each stream object also contains metadata tags, depending on the format:`js

fluent-ffmpeg enables you to query your installed ffmpeg version for supported formats, codecs, encoders and filters.
jsvar Ffmpeg = require('@ts-ffmpeg/fluent-ffmpeg');
Ffmpeg.getAvailableFormats(function(err, formats) {
console.log('Available formats:');
console.dir(formats);
});
Ffmpeg.getAvailableCodecs(function(err, codecs) {
console.log('Available codecs:');
console.dir(codecs);
});
Ffmpeg.getAvailableEncoders(function(err, encoders) {
console.log('Available encoders:');
console.dir(encoders);
});
Ffmpeg.getAvailableFilters(function(err, filters) {
console.log("Available filters:");
console.dir(filters);
});
// Those methods can also be called on commands
new Ffmpeg({ source: '/path/to/file.avi' })
.getAvailableCodecs(...);
`These methods pass an object to their callback with keys for each available format, codec or filter.
The returned object for formats looks like:
js
{
...
mp4: {
description: 'MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)',
canDemux: false,
canMux: true
},
...
}
`*
indicates whether ffmpeg is able to extract streams from (demux) this format
* canMux indicates whether ffmpeg is able to write streams into (mux) this formatThe returned object for codecs looks like:
`js
{
...
mp3: {
type: 'audio',
description: 'MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)',
canDecode: true,
canEncode: true,
intraFrameOnly: false,
isLossy: true,
isLossless: false
},
...
}
`*
indicates the codec type, either "audio", "video" or "subtitle"
* canDecode tells whether ffmpeg is able to decode streams using this codec
* canEncode tells whether ffmpeg is able to encode streams using this codecDepending on your ffmpeg version (or if you use avconv instead) other keys may be present, for example:
*
directRendering tells if codec can render directly in GPU RAM; useless for transcoding purposes
* intraFrameOnly tells if codec can only work with I-frames
* isLossy tells if codec can do lossy encoding/decoding
* isLossless tells if codec can do lossless encoding/decodingWith some ffmpeg/avcodec versions, the description includes encoder/decoder mentions in the form "Foo codec (decoders: libdecodefoo) (encoders: libencodefoo)". In this case you will want to use those encoders/decoders instead (the codecs object returned by
getAvailableCodecs will also include them).The returned object for encoders looks like:
`js
{
...
libmp3lame: {
type: 'audio',
description: 'MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) (codec mp3)',
frameMT: false,
sliceMT: false,
experimental: false,
drawHorizBand: false,
directRendering: false
},
...
}
`*
indicates the encoder type, either "audio", "video" or "subtitle"
* experimental indicates whether the encoder is experimental. When using such a codec, fluent-ffmpeg automatically adds the '-strict experimental' flag.The returned object for filters looks like:
`js
{
...
scale: {
description: 'Scale the input video to width:height size and/or convert the image format.',
input: 'video',
multipleInputs: false,
output: 'video',
multipleOutputs: false
},
...
}
`*
tells the input type this filter operates on, one of "audio", "video" or "none". When "none", the filter likely generates output from nothing
* multipleInputs tells whether the filter can accept multiple inputs
* output tells the output type this filter generates, one of "audio", "video" or "none". When "none", the filter has no output (sink only)
* multipleInputs tells whether the filter can generate multiple outputs$3
You can create clones of an FfmpegCommand instance by calling the
clone() method. The clone will be an exact copy of the original at the time it has been called (same inputs, same options, same event handlers, etc.). This is mainly useful when you want to apply different processing options on the same input.Setting options, adding inputs or event handlers on a clone will not affect the original command.
`js
// Create a command to convert source.avi to MP4
var command = ffmpeg('/path/to/source.avi')
.audioCodec('libfaac')
.videoCodec('libx264')
.format('mp4');// Create a clone to save a small resized version
command.clone()
.size('320x200')
.save('/path/to/output-small.mp4');
// Create a clone to save a medium resized version
command.clone()
.size('640x400')
.save('/path/to/output-medium.mp4');
// Save a converted version with the original size
command.save('/path/to/output-original-size.mp4');
