using ffmpeg to add videos together to make a longer video
making one long video by combining a bunch of videos of the same type. If the videos are all the same then this should work.
I learnt how to from the link below:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate
first you need to make a list of files to combine: 0:30
you will have to see the video for this, I can't show the command here because it has some symbols that are not permitted.
I have .MOV files so I wrote ./*.MOV but if I had .mkv files then change to ./*.mkv etc...
then the command to combine the files in the text file we created is: 1:44
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.MOV
ffmpeg -f concat (now we use ffmpeg and specifying concatenation format)
-safe 0 (I don't know what this is, the wiki says "not required if the paths are relative")
-i mylist.txt (uses all the videos named in the text document called mylist.txt)
-c copy (is to copy all videos to the output video)
output.MOV (is the video with all the video files combined)
I have another on how to combine video's of different types that might work if this doesn't, (the command I used is in the description for the video)
