<p>I'm trying to use ffmpeg to encode a series of rendered images with a soundtrack. When we import that video into Premiere the audio seems to be 1/2 frame early. When we import that same video in Resolve the sync seems fine.</p> <p>To see this, run this script and import &quot;output.mov&quot; into Premiere and Resolve:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh # generate 3 seconds worth of test charts at 24fps ffmpeg -y \ -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=3:size=1280x720:rate=24 \ -f image2 &quot;%03d.png&quot; # generate a 1kHz tone with duration 1/24s duration=$(awk &quot;BEGIN {print 1/24}&quot;) ffmpeg -y \ -f lavfi -i sine=frequency=1000:duration=$duration \ -t 3.0 -acodec aac 1000hz.m4a # combine the images and the audio, and offset the audio exactly 2 seconds ffmpeg -y \ -f image2 -framerate 24.0 -i &quot;%03d.png&quot; \ -itsoffset 2.0 -i 1000hz.m4a \ -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 20 output.mov </code></pre> <p>The result is supposed to be a 3 second video clip with the audio pop exactly on the 49th frame. And when our assistant editor loads the clip into Davinci Resolve the pop occurs exactly on frame 49 as we expect. In Premiere the pop is a half frame early.</p> <p>So in ffmpeg I can add a 1/2 frame offset to the audio. That video will import in Premiere with the audio on frame 49, and in Resolve I'm told the audio is a half frame late. Is there a way to encode this video so that the audio is properly synced for Premiere AND Resolve?</p>

<p>I have a large amount of DV footage, which I want to convert into a video per day.</p> <p>I've tried doing this by scripting <code>ffmpeg</code>:</p> <pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code>ffmpeg -safe 0 -f concat -i day1-files.txt -fflags +igndts -ac 2 -ar 32000 -vf scale=768x576,setsar=1:1,yadif sq08_output.mov </code></pre> <p>but results varied from perfect to garbled audio or video.</p> <p>Then I tried this manually in Premiere Pro with the following steps:</p> <ol> <li>Import footage of a single day</li> <li>Automate to sequence</li> <li>Export media</li> </ol> <p>Results were perfect (for the same clips that <code>ffmpeg</code> couldn't decode).</p> <p>As I have thousands of clips I don't want to repeat the Premiere Pro steps manually, so I looked into <a href="https://premiere-scripting-guide.readthedocs.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Premiere Pro scripting</a></p> <p>I completed step 1 with <a href="https://premiere-scripting-guide.readthedocs.io/general/project.html#project-importfiles" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>app.project.importFiles</code></a>:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>app.project.importFiles([&quot;day1-1.mov&quot;, &quot;day1-2.mov&quot;, &quot;day1-3.mov&quot;], true, app.project.rootItem, false) </code></pre> <p>I tried to do step 2 with <a href="https://premiere-scripting-guide.readthedocs.io/general/project.html#project-createnewsequencefromclips" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>app.project.createNewSequenceFromClips</code></a>:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>app.project.createNewSequenceFromClips(&quot;sequenceName&quot; , [app.project.rootItem.children[0] , app.project.rootItem.children[1] , app.project.rootItem.children[2]] , app.project.rootItem); </code></pre> <p>But got greeted with:</p> <pre><code>createNewSequenceFromClips is not a function </code></pre> <p>How can I automate creating a sequence from a set of clips?</p>

<p>Currently, I'm making a video that I intend to upload to YouTube. I used After Effects and Premiere Pro for this. Since it's a video that's almost 2 hours long, the export takes me about 16 hours according to my PC specifications:</p> <p>11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz, 2419 Mhz (I'm using the integrated GPU) Installed physical memory 8.00 GB.</p> <p>The first question is, is it normal to have such high export times? From all the video tutorials I've seen, I haven't seen export times as high as mine, but I suppose it's due to the added effects and the length of the video.</p> <p>Exporting for 16 hours straight is very inconvenient for me because I plan on continuing to upload videos, and if I have to leave each video for 16 hours or more, that means the laptop battery will deteriorate, and I also use the computer for university work. The solution I've come up with is to slice the video into several parts, export them, and then join them with ffmpeg, which I understand does not perform rendering (or something like that).</p> <p>When I did it, it came out correctly, and there were no issues. The second question is that I would like to know if this technique has a name and how to do it correctly. I would also like to know if there are any disadvantages to doing it this way. I exported in H.264 at 1080p and 24 fps, and then I joined them, but there may be a better way to do it.</p> <p>I'm asking this question because before attempting it, I searched the internet and didn't find much information about this technique. The information I found mentioned that there would be problems between frames because a frame contains information about its next frame, but I found that it worked for me, and in case of problems, the cut can be made just at scene changes so that it doesn't affect much.</p>

<p>I used this command to burn the timecode inside my video.</p> <p>While everything looked fine, when I open my video inside Premiere it seems that my timecode doesn't match.</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/SRHs2.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/SRHs2.png" alt="Timecode doesn't match!" /></a></p> <p>My fear is that the timecode processed by ffmpeg was the original of the input file but when recompressed via h264 the number of frames changed giving precedence to the h264 compression algorithms.</p> <p>How can I fix it? Or better how I can have an output video that match exactly the duration and the frames of the original input file?</p> <p>Sadly my input file was already an h264 mp4 stream.</p> <p>The command I used is the following:</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg -i &quot;file.mp4&quot; -c:v libx264 -x264-params &quot;crf=17&quot; -preset fast -c:a copy -c:s copy -copyinkf -filter_complex

<p>From an all day event shoot, I have a 13 hour file recorded on a Sony HXR-NX5R camera. Catalyst Browse transferred the 160GB file OK, Premiere imported the file (but choked for quite a while doing so), but now I can't actually edit with it - adding it to the timeline just comes up &quot;Media Pending&quot;, and sits there. Maybe if it sits long enough it will cope, but I wasn't seeing any life after an hour or so. It seems the file is too big for Premiere to handle (Premiere 22.5.0 Build 62, have tried same version on both Mac and PC - I can update to the latest Premiere if it's worth a shot, I've been sitting on this version a while to not disrupt some projects in progress)</p> <p>I looked into using Catalyst Browse to split the file when copying, but it seems that option isn't available for AVCHD files.</p> <p>I looked at using ffmpeg to split the big file to smaller ones, it throws &quot;Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:2&quot;, so I guess I'm just not sure if the files I'm cutting up this way have issues (missing frames, etc). I just don't understand the error, or what I might need to do to validate if the file is still good. Command issued is:</p> <p><code>ffmpeg -i &quot;input.m2ts&quot; -map 0 -c copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 2:10:00 output.m2ts</code></p> <p>I know some Sony cameras will let you split the recorded file into parts on the camera, but I can't find any such option in the NX5R menus.</p> <p>Suggestions on any other software or method of processing this that I might try? At this stage it looks like going the ffmpeg route, and crossing my fingers that the split files don't contain issues, I'm just surprised Premiere is having issues (VLC plays/scans the file fine), and disappointed there doesn't seem to be anything on the Sony side to assist in splitting the file up once it has been created.</p> <p>UPDATE: I decided to let Premiere chew on the file overnight, to see if the &quot;Media Pending&quot; would clear at any point. But I had removed it from the project, so I re-added it back, along with the ffmpeg split version. Premiere didn't choke bringing in the big file at all this time. I dropped it onto the timeline, expecting the &quot;Media Pending&quot;, but this time it just came up and worked. So it seems Premiere can handle the file, but there was something internally going wrong, and somewhere between trying to import straight off the SD card files, and playing with split files, and various other things I tried, Premiere must have forgotten whatever it was referencing on the file that wasn't working, and it has now just come in clean. Who knows.</p>

<p>I've heard that it's possible to convert SDR videos to HDR and get reasonable results. Obviously, this isn't as good as having source HDR content, but I'm really curious and would like to try this for myself. I have lots of 10 bpc 422 SDR video, and I'm wondering if there's any software out there that could automatically convert it into an HDR format that gives good results. <strong>Is there such software?</strong></p> <p>For example, I've attempted to use Premiere Pro CC 2019 (using the High10 profile with Dynamic Range checked) to do convert input SDR video to HDR, but the colors in the output HDR video all end up extremely dark looking (an undesirable result). I'm just wondering if there's software that can give me much better results with little effort on my part.</p>

<p>My normal process is to export a project to mp4 and then use ffmpeg to speed up the video like <a href="https://superuser.com/a/611927/74576">this</a>:</p> <pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code>ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex &quot;[0:v]setpts=PTS/1.3[v];[0:a]atempo=1.3[a]&quot; -map &quot;[v]&quot; -map &quot;[a]&quot; output.mp4 </code></pre> <p>It's super annoying for this to be 2 steps, which become especially time-consuming for long videos.</p> <p>Is there a way to tell Premiere to do this during the original export?</p>

<p>I am rewrapping an HLS stream as an mxf file. The HLS is 1080p59.94 10bit 4:2:2. The mxf is a video codec copy and an audio conversion to pcm. The stream has video timecode burn-in for me to watch the video frames. Here is the command</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg -i &quot;https://myinput/index.m3u8&quot; -f segment -timecode &quot;01:01:01:00&quot; -segment_time 600 -reset_timestamps 1 -c:v copy output_%03d.mxf </code></pre> <p>I get the following non-fatal error</p> <pre><code>&quot;Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 1&quot; </code></pre> <p>The file is still created, however. In VLC the file plays correctly frame by frame. But in Adobe premiere when I play frame by frame I get video stuttering and I see the timecode burn in plays in a sequence like this... 3 frames ahead, then 2 frames back... so the frame sequence would be something like ;03 ;01 ;02 ;06 ;04 ;05 ;09 ;07 ;08</p> <p>It's almost like Premiere does not know how to order the frames back together but VLC does. Any thoughts on how I might change the command to reorder the dts monotonically?</p> <p>When I wrap to a .ts file I don't get this issue in Premiere, but I need MXF because Premiere can play an MXF file as a growing file.</p>

<p><strong>IMPORTANT: ISSUE SOLVED (STILL A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, THOUGH), I POSTED SOME INFO BELOW THE ORIGINAL POST AS AN UPDATE IF SOMEONE FINDS THIS USEFUL:</strong></p> <p>Quick question: what are the advantages of using the most common non long-GOP codecs for editing (DNxHD/DNxHR and Prores) vs intra-frame H.264 with a high bitrate? In theory the compression capability, even if is intra-frame only, is better with H.264, and just by being intra-frame the playback performance while editing should be equivalent to the other two codecs. Besides, H.264 suppports up to 12 bits and 4:4:4 (so it's flexible). I've read what I could regarding these codecs, but I've yet to find a reason for why intra-frame H.264 is not used more extensively for editing.</p> <p>For the record, I'm asking this because I'm starting an HDR project from a H.264 high 10 UHD 4:2:0 video, and I have two issues: if I try to edit with proxies (with DNxHR or Prores), I get serious sync issues between the source file and proxies, so I can't edit properly. And if I transcode the source file to a file that doesn't have those sync issues (like DNxHR, with DNxHR for proxies too), I lose the HDR data and the video looks like a SDR one (and this happens with any codec, not just DNxHR. I haven't been able to preserve the HDR info of the source file with any codec, and tried with FFmpeg and Adobe Media Encoder), but that is an issue for another post. The thing is that I'm stuck with using the original footage as the source file, but can't edit that way without proxies (obviously the playback is extremely slow), so I was wondering if transcoding the source file to an intra-frame H.264 video and work with that (and without proxies) would have an impact on the final quality. I haven't found info comparing intra-frame H.264 to other intermediate codecs, quality and performance wise.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE (02/03/20):</strong></p> <p>I made some tests to see how intra-frame H.264 behaves with Adobe Premiere Pro 2020:</p> <p><strong>1)</strong> I transcoded the original footage (H.264, MKV container, HDR, 10 bits, UHD, 4:2:0, VBR) with FFmpeg to an intra-frame "version" of the file, without changing any other setting (just added -intra to my original FFmpeg command line). I used CRF 18 and veryslow as preset (I have a very good CPU, so the whole file was transcoded overnight). I then imported the file to Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. First, I have to say that I haven't started to edit yet, but at least I could tell that it was compatible, and behaved like an intra-frame video while testing playback (I could go forward and backward very fast). I couldn't see any difference in quality when compared to the original footage either. In other words intra-frame H.264, so far, looks like a good alternative to other intermediate codecs like Prores or DNxHD/DNxHR. In fact, because of H.264 intra-frame compression, file size is smaller than with the others mentioned, and I don't know if it's because of my system (Threadripper 2990WX, 64GB ram, very good motherboard), but performance wise I couldn't tell a difference when comparing to DNxHR at least.</p> <p><strong>2)</strong> I know that extra transcoding steps are never a good thing quality wise, but since I had to transcode to an intra-frame video anyway, I made another test and transcoded the original footage to an HEVC video using FFmpeg (with libx265), keeping all the original settings. CRF used was 18, with veryslow as preset too. I used the main10-intra profile of x265. Then I did the same with another video, which was SDR. It took a little longer as you can expect, but I wanted to do this for a couple of reasons: first, because I wanted to know how Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 handles an H.265 HDR UHD intra-frame video. Second, because I've read (and don't quote me on this) that after transcoding any 8 bit video to a 10 bit one, many perceive an increase in quality, because of the broader colorspace that lets the encoder pick from many more colors while transcoding, which reduces banding. Well, I didn't perceive any difference quality wise (compared to the intra-frame H.264 file, and to the original footage, on both the HDR and SDR files), but the file sizes were obviously smaller and at least on my PC they performed very well on Premiere Pro (playback was as fast as with the intra-frame H.264 videos). Obviously the HDR video playback doesn't show the correct colors, but that's a restriction of Premiere because of the way it handles color spaces (no REC2020 yet).</p> <p><strong>3)</strong> Because I had color issues while transcoding to DNxHR before and couldn't solve that, I started to think that it may had to do with the chroma subsampling (none of the DNxHR flavors support 4:2:0, which is the subsampling of the original video). That was another reason for trying with intra-frame H.264 (or H.265), to see if transcoding to 4:2:0, 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 made a similar difference in colors compared to DNxHR. Turns out that when transcoding to 4:2:0 (with H.264 or H.265 as codecs) the colors look exactly the same as the original footage, and both 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 look a lot like the DNxHR video (colors washed out). Can't see a difference between 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, but when compared to 4:2:0, the difference is huge. I never wanted to upsample the video in the first place, it was just because DNxHR doesn't support 4:2:0, but I never expected such a difference. And if it was because of upsampling, I don't quite get why 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 look exactly the same. Maybe it's some kind of a FFmpeg bug that messes with colorspace when upsampling, idk.</p> <p>Anyway, now I have working H.264 and H.265 intra-frame videos, without the color issues (checked the files visually, with Mediainfo, and with the Lumetri scopes tab of Premiere. They indeed preserved all the metadata needed for HDR), without sync issues (I also made a couple of proxies with the exact same settings, but only with less resolution. They sync perfecly with the source file), with smaller file size than with DNxHR and Prores, and that perform very well on Premiere Pro 2020 while previewing (maybe they don't with an inferior CPU, I don't know). So one could say, for the meantime (I have to start editing, maybe I'll encounter some issues along the way. And I haven't tested to export from Premiere using these files yet), that my issue is solved.</p> <p>But my question remains after these tests: why aren't intra-frame H.264 or intra-frame H265 more extended as alternatives to DNxHR or Prores (the most commonly used intermediate codecs)? I can't see nothing but advantages: smaller file size, good playback performance, very good quality (and if you have enough space, you could even make an intra-frame H.264 lossless file if you want), they preserve the HDR data, and both codecs are very well known and extended. They even have their own intra-frame profiles (for example, H.265 has main10-intra, main444-10-intra, etc.). Transcoding times, in my experience, at least using FFmpeg on a PC, is not that different when compared to DNxHR or Prores. Is there any reason for this not being the ideal way to go while editing, besides the fact that these intra-frame "versions" of H.264 and H.265 are not as frequently used as the other codecs in bigger productions?</p> <p>Thanks, any insight on this would be appreciated. And I don't mind sharing the FFmpeg commands I used if someone finds this useful.</p>

<p>I have an MKV video with a few out-of-sync points caused, probably, by a 3rd-party program, used to remove some commercials from it directly from the MKV.</p> <p>So watched the video several times in VLC manually adjusting the delay while taking notes of the different amounts needed.</p> <p>Then I started the slicing proccess, but first, because Premiere is "cocky" and don't handle MKV files directly, I converted it to an MP4 with FFmpeg:</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg -i /path/to/video.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy /path/to/save/video.mp4 </code></pre> <p>After slicing all pieces needed and creating Subclips from them, I exported them all, manually instead of using Adobe Media Encore, with the exact same settings.</p> <p>However, analyzing them with MediaInfo, although most of the files where in CBR, a few were in VBR.</p> <p>I ignored this and applied the delays, individually, with FFMPEG again:</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg.exe -i "/path/to/slice.mp4" -itsoffset 0.05 -i "/path/to/slice.mp4" \ -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -c:a copy "/path/to/sliced.mp4" </code></pre> <p>(Being 0.05 an advancing of +50ms)</p> <p>Since I already used FFmpeg to join files in past, for commodity, I used it again to concatenate the modified files:</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg -f concat -i list.txt -c:v copy -c:a copy "video.mp4" </code></pre> <p>(Being <strong>list.txt</strong> a list of each adjusted file, one per line)</p> <p>Some of the cuts occurred during action scenes and when joined with <code>concat</code> it's pretty noticeable a "click" where two of the clips were concatenated. Other than that the result was perfectly synced.</p> <p>But those "clicks" were annoying me so much that I imported this file into Premiere again and added a centered Constant Power Audio Effect at the junction of the two clips to get rid of them.</p> <p>At first, I didn't notice and rendered this faded audio file. But when watching it on VLC, going straight to the first junction, it was completely out-of-sync-again.</p> <p>Then I watched it on Premiere and found the problem in there.</p> <p>I've searched for a solution and one of them suggested me to use Handbrake to convert it from VBR to CBR, but didn't show how &lt;_&lt;</p> <p>The other suggested to rename the file changing the .MP4 extension to .MOV to counteract an apparent bug in Premiere Importer. This didn't work for me, perhaps because I'm using the CC version and the "tutorial" was with the Pro version (if there was indeed a bug, it might've be fixed between versions).</p> <p>And now I don't know what to do because the meticulously adjusted clip segments can't be fine tuned in Premiere because it is undoing all this hard work.</p>

<p>My problem is somewhat similar to others asked on the site in recent years, but none of those solutions were quite right for my problem:</p> <p>I have a series of frames from a video recorded at roughly 30 fps. I need to convert it (using FFmpeg or otherwise [if applicable]) to a video format that Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 won't crash on. I have tried FFmpeg (and its codecs: h264 and libx264) but both times it has crashed (with no error message that I can see).</p> <p>For your information, it currently does not have an audio channel, but I can get that if it is needed. </p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the general form of the cmd I am using:</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg -i input_%05d.tga -framerate 30 -codec:v h264 -b:v 4M -b:a 3M output.mp4 </code></pre>

<p>I have a lot of clips made with ffmpeg using this command: </p> <p><code>ffmpeg.exe -ss XX:XX -t XX:XX -i original.mp4 -c copy clip.mp4</code>. </p> <p>That <code>copy</code> option gives a couple seconds of silence in a result clip, but when a sound starts it is perfectly synced and all players I tried can handle it correctly. </p> <p>But after importing in Adobe Premiere I got audio and video desynchronized, because it removes that silent at the beginning.</p> <p>I believe that mp4 has some builtin delay and Adobe Premiere ignore it during import, is there a way to fix it?</p>

<p>I'm working in Adobe Premiere on some sequences (Full HD, Progressive, 8bit).</p> <p>In these sequences I added also some matte black backgrounds and after effects comps with black background and other plain colors.</p> <p>If I export normally from premiere in h264 .mp4 the resulting file have it's colors shifted because Premiere tends to always apply a Limited Range (16-235) to the colors instead of Full Range (0-255).</p> <p>What normally is a Pure Black RGB 0,0,0 becomes a Dark Gray 16,16,16 and the same happens to the other colors.</p> <p>For the ones who are wondering why there are these ranges, the Limited Range (16-235) is used in HDTVs and I fear that Premiere enforce this settings always.. But in Youtube and Vimeo you can fully use the 0-255!</p> <p>So..</p> <p>What is the correct workflow to have Premiere export h264 video files in full range 0-255 ?</p> <p>It isn't a problem is given by the REC 709 space right? Could be that premiere only exports h264/h265 files in Limited range ?</p> <p>I tried export in DNX and convert in h264 with ffmpeg:</p> <pre><code>ffmpeg -y -i "dnx.mov" -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 12000k -profile:v main -level:v 4.1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf format=yuv420p -dst_range 1 -color_range 2 -c:a copy h264.mov </code></pre> <p>But even doing this, the result is just a file marked somewhat in full range, VLC uses 0-255 even if some gradients are clipped in my opinion and if exported on Vimeo the result is still with the black shifted from 0 to 16 with a nice gray instead of black :(</p> <p>Do the maximum color depth inside the premiere export panel make something?</p>

<p>I'm trying to work with a bunch (hundreds) of 4k HEVC video clips, and so far it seems like my laptop is a bit too slow to edit them effectively. I have read <a href="https://blog.frame.io/2017/03/20/premiere-pro-proxies/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">guides</a> that talk about ingesting proxy files, which is great but involves running Adobe Media encoder on my macbook.</p> <p>Ideally I don't want to do any proxy file encoding on my macbook since it slows down my laptop too much. I want to create the proxy files on a separate unix server using ffmpeg, then copy them onto my laptop when they're done. Is this possible? </p>

<p>Often I use Premiere to transcode or export media where the final size isn't the main problem.</p> <p>I'm used to the ultrafast preset from ffmpeg, what I wonder is.. it is possible to pick the same options that I generally use: QuickTime as container and H.264 but set also the ultrafast option ?</p> <p>My pc is very slow and this would be a lifesaver for encoding times.</p>

<h2>I'm working on web project where the position of the user's mouse triggers a video to play forward and backwards.</h2> <p><b>Here's my problem</b>: The code I'm using to achieve this requires the video file to be exactly 29.97000 fps, but exporting my work from Photoshop/Premiere gives me 29.970030 fps. Re-encoding the video with Handbrake gave me the same result. Currently using OSX 10.11.6.</p> <p>Is there a way to "force" Adobe Suite Applications/Handbrake to export video @ exactly 29.97000 fps, or do I need to use a more barebones method (VirtualDubMod, AviSynth, ffmpeg, etc) to achieve this?</p> <p>Any help/advice is much appreciated!</p>

<p>I have a video of a TAS I've created that unfortunately does not contain sound. I would like to add sound to the video before releasing it, but I obviously don't want to have to go through and place hundreds or thousands of sounds manually.</p> <p>An example of a finished product, with all sounds that are present having been added manually, can be seen here:</p> <p><div class="youtube-embed"><div> <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_2DYXu5wynQ?start=0"></iframe> </div></div></p> <p>I can modify the source code of the game, so a list of exact frames that sounds are played on is trivial to create. I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015, but I'm happy to switch to different software if it provides the functionality I want.</p> <p>FFmpeg looks like it might be able to do what I want, but I don't know enough about using it and haven't been able to find any examples of using it for what I want to do. I'd also rather not create a plugin (and haven't been able to find any information on scripting) for Premiere or anything like that, though I'd prefer that to doing it manually.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I have lots (1000+) music videos ready to be aired but without usual titles (artists, album, publisher).</p> <p>I need fastest way to add (bulk?) titles to all of them. Graphics or simple text will be same for all of them, just the text itself changes for each video.</p> <p>So the process would look like: </p> <ul> <li><p>import video</p></li> <li><p>add text to same position for all videos (same font, size, background etc.), just the text itself changes</p></li> <li><p>export video to same format it was imported</p></li> </ul> <p>I have many software available to use (Mac and PC), but no idea which one would be fastest solution.</p> <p>I guess some software should be able to do this in bulk, but if not i will do it manually. Just need something simple and fast, without need to tweek all the render option from start as each video is already prepared for airing.</p>
