How to add a background color behind a video | Full screen video padding
Today, we show how to add a colored background behind a video. This is done via the "pad" video filter of ffmpeg and is known as "padding". All parameters can be fully customized to suit your needs.
EXAMPLES

❶ Black background, default positioning
→ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "pad=1920:1080" output01.mp4
with:
-i input.mp4 = Reads file «input.mp4» …
*-vf = … and starts a video filter (vf)…
pad = … calling the «pad» filter to create a black background frame (default color)…
1920:1080 = … of the size 1920 x 1080 (FHD)…
output01.mp4 = … and outputs the result to file «output01.mp4»
❷ Violet background, custom positioning
→ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "pad=1920:1080:500:200:color=violet" output02.mp4
with:
-i input.mp4 = Reads file «input.mp4» …
-vf = … and starts a video filter (vf)…
pad = … calling the «pad» filter to create a background frame…
1920:1080 = … of the size 1920 x 1080 (FHD)…
color=violet = … and of the violet color…
500:200 = … placing the original input video at position x = 500, y = 200…
output02.mp4 = … and outputs the final result to file «output02.mp4»
❸ Custom color and auto-centered (my favorite!)
→ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:blue" output03.mp4
with:
-i input.mp4 = Reads file «input.mp4» …
-vf = … and starts a video filter (vf)…
pad = … calling the «pad» filter to create a background frame…
1920:1080 = … of the size 1920 x 1080 (FHD)…
blue = … and of the blue color…
(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2 = … placing the original input video in the middle of the blue background…
output03.mp4 = … and outputs the final result to file «output03.mp4»
