how does one split a very long filter into mulitple lines in a bash script?
<blaub>
can i just break them where i want?

You might have to end the current quote and begin a new quote on the next line, which will then be appended, but it should work if I know shell right:
<CounterPillow>
'foobar'\

'baz'

thx
<blaub>
i wish there would be some sort of TUI video editor that uses ffmpeg
hightower2 has joined #ffmpeg
<CounterPillow>
why? TUIs suck ass, they just imitate GUI elements with text characters
<blaub>
ease of use, accessible, convenience not to use a mouse, especially when getting older
<CounterPillow>
a good GUI is keyboard driven in addition to using the mouse
<CounterPillow>
the method of rendering is orthogonal to the input
<blaub>
TUIs are superior due to their ability to survive decades and work literally in every POSIX compatible shell flawlessly, not to mention they barely have any system requirements
<CounterPillow>
hahahahahahahahahahaha yeah right, thankfully terminal control characters never break amirite fellas
<CounterPillow>
and also terminal rendering is not at all a huge performance bottleneck
<CounterPillow>
(see: cmatrix in any non-gpu-accelerated terminal emulator)

<CounterPillow>
it gets even worse if you want to do video, since all of mpv's video outputs (tct, sixel, kitty) are both its least efficient and worst visual quality
<CounterPillow>
but whatever makes you feel like a l33t hacker I guess
System_Error has joined #ffmpeg
chainik1 has joined #ffmpeg
<blaub>
it's not about feeling like a l33t hacker, it's a out UX. it takes way less mental effort to hit a key instead of moving a two dimensional object precisely
<CounterPillow>
Even for relatively simple things, the bad compatibility ecosystem and inefficient workarounds due to not having any concept of frames that allows for batching means incredibly inefficient UIs. For example, for the few platforms where u-boot implemented UEFI video output, grub's menu performed incredibly poorly because to center things it would output space characters which triggered a redraw on each character since there's no concept of a
<CounterPillow>
frame
<CounterPillow>
again, keyboard driven controls and the method of rendering are separate concepts
<blaub>
never said anything different, looks like you got offended or triggered just because i prefer a TUI over a GUI. feel free to use whatever you feel comfy with
<psykose>
long island
<blaub>
just because it is a TUI doesn't mean everything has to, a TUI could also use mpv in the background to get some timestamps
<blaub>
didn't ask to render a video on a terminal buffer, that's insane. it looks like you have never used a well made TUI before.
<CounterPillow>
There is no such thing as a well made TUI, but I've used plenty of TUIs before
<blaub>
your opinion. i've made totally different experiences and if that is a problem for you, feel free to use your IRC GUI's client abilities to ignore me
<another|>
you want a video editor w/o a rendered frame?
<CounterPillow>
I remember when some guy in an IRC channel made a bot to shorten (and publicly post) every single URL that was posted because his TUI irc client couldn't deal with URLs that had linebreaks in them due to the nicklist or other TUI elements breaking the terminal emulator's URL parsing lmfao
<blaub>
weird to see someone with that attitude on #ffmpeg, it is like trump attending an lgbtq+ event
<CounterPillow>
ffmpeg is not a TUI application
<blaub>
another|: just a tui video editor using mpv and ffmpeg
<blaub>
as if i doesnt know this
<CounterPillow>
apparently you don't, or you wouldn't have brought it up
<CounterPillow>
command line applications are composable, TUIs aren't.
<blaub>
anyway, welcome to my ignore list, you seem to have huge problems when other people have a different use case than yours
<CounterPillow>

get over it and learn some empathy, not everyone is like you, not everyone has your use case, not everyone uses a computer like you, not everyone is a totally idiot just because he wants to use something in a different WAY, not everyone is like you
<blaub>
i know more about UX than you fucking idiot ever will

I barely read it. If someone wants a TUI app so badly, they are free to make one. It's opensource after all

I need to make a timelapse video of images. The files names are serial. (I don't mind specifying all files using the -i argument). Regardless of the number of files input and framerate, etc, how to specify total video length?
rv1sr has joined #ffmpeg
<deostroll>
So if the number of files are less it will fill that desired video length, or, vice versa.

<deostroll>
Gemini says I should divide total number of images with frame rate to get total video length (in seconds)
<deostroll>
It also says it could vary. I wrote a program that generates 300 images, and, created a timelapse with 35 framerate. It gave me a video of 12s. Where as the computed one is about 8.5 seconds.
