How to add a new audio (not mixing) into a video using ffmpeg?
AudioVideoFfmpegAudio Problem Overview
I used a command like:
ffmpeg -i video.avi -i audio.mp3 -vcodec codec -acodec codec output_video.avi -newaudio
in latest version for adding new audio track to video (not mix).
But I updated the ffmpeg to the newest version (ffmpeg version git-2012-06-16-809d71d) and now in this version the parameter -newaudio
doesn't work.
Tell me please how I can add new audio to my video (not mix) using ffmpeg
.
Audio Solutions
Solution 1 - Audio
Replace audio
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mp4
- The
-map
option allows you to manually select streams / tracks. See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more info. - This example uses
-c:v copy
to stream copy (mux) the video. No re-encoding of the video occurs. Quality is preserved and the process is fast.- If your input audio format is compatible with the output format then change
-c:v copy
to-c copy
to stream copy both the video and audio. - If you want to re-encode video and audio then remove
-c:v copy
/-c copy
.
- If your input audio format is compatible with the output format then change
- The
-shortest
option will make the output the same duration as the shortest input.
Add audio
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.mp3 -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mkv

-map
option allows you to manually select streams / tracks. See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more info. - This example uses

Mixing/combining two audio inputs into one
Use video from video.mkv
. Mix audio from video.mkv
and audio.m4a
using the amerge filter:
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.m4a -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -ac 2 -shortest output.mkv
See FFmpeg Wiki: Audio Channels for more info.
Generate silent audio
You can use the anullsrc filter to make a silent audio stream. The filter allows you to choose the desired channel layout (mono, stereo, 5.1, etc) and the sample rate.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -f lavfi -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=44100 \
-c:v copy -shortest output.mp4

Solution 2 - Audio
mp3 music to wav
ffmpeg -i music.mp3 music.wav
truncate to fit video
ffmpeg -i music.wav -ss 0 -t 37 musicshort.wav
mix music and video
ffmpeg -i musicshort.wav -i movie.avi final_video.avi
Solution 3 - Audio
If the input video has multiple audio tracks and you need to add one more then use the following command:
ffmpeg -i input_video_with_audio.avi -i new_audio.ac3 -map 0 -map 1 -codec copy output_video.avi
-map 0
means to copy (include) all streams from the first input file (input_video_with_audio.avi
) and -map 1
means to include all streams (in this case one) from the second input file (new_audio.ac3
).
Solution 4 - Audio
None of these solutions quite worked for me. My original audio was being overwritten, or I was getting an error like "failed to map memory" with the more complex 'amerge' example. It seems I needed -filter_complex amix.
ffmpeg -i videowithaudioyouwanttokeep.mp4 -i audiotooverlay.mp3 -vcodec copy -filter_complex amix -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -b:a 144k out.mkv
Solution 5 - Audio
Nothing quite worked for me (I think it was because my input .mp4 video didn't had any audio) so I found this worked for me:
> ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -i balipraiavid.wav -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 output.mp4
Solution 6 - Audio
If you are using an old version of FFMPEG and you cant upgrade you can do the following:
ffmpeg -i PATH/VIDEO_FILE_NAME.mp4 -i PATH/AUDIO_FILE_NAME.mp3 -vcodec copy -shortest DESTINATION_PATH/NEW_VIDEO_FILE_NAME.mp4
Notice that I used -vcodec
Solution 7 - Audio
Code to add audio to video using ffmpeg.
If audio length is greater than video length it will cut the audio to video length. If you want full audio in video remove -shortest from the cmd.
String[] cmd = new String[]{"-i", selectedVideoPath,"-i",audiopath,"-map","1:a","-map","0:v","-codec","copy", ,outputFile.getPath()};
private void execFFmpegBinaryShortest(final String[] command) {
final File outputFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/videoaudiomerger/"+"Vid"+"output"+i1+".mp4");
String[] cmd = new String[]{"-i", selectedVideoPath,"-i",audiopath,"-map","1:a","-map","0:v","-codec","copy","-shortest",outputFile.getPath()};
try {
ffmpeg.execute(cmd, new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onFailure(String s) {
System.out.println("on failure----"+s);
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(String s) {
System.out.println("on success-----"+s);
}
@Override
public void onProgress(String s) {
//Log.d(TAG, "Started command : ffmpeg "+command);
System.out.println("Started---"+s);
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
//Log.d(TAG, "Started command : ffmpeg " + command);
System.out.println("Start----");
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
System.out.println("Finish-----");
}
});
} catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
// do nothing for now
System.out.println("exceptio :::"+e.getMessage());
}
}
