(simple instructions for installing FFmpeg) These were helpful when I was figuring this out myself: Install ffmpeg – just type the following into the terminal after brew has installed and hit enter: brew install ffmpeg Install homebrew – go to brew.sh, copy code in first screen, paste the code in terminal, hit enter)Ģ. These instructions are for Mac users, but I’m relatively certain that things aren’t much different on a PC.ġ. I’m going to include both instructions on how to install FFmpeg and how to concatenate files with FFmpeg once it is installed. mp4 before we can work with them further. Note, these re-combined files do still need to be converted to. Here I’m going to report on what I figured out and the workflow I have now for combining these. So I decided to spend some more time on it and finally figured out a simple solution, no small thanks to various other forums and YouTube tutorials. With the amount of data we have to deal with, though, it was becoming extremely tedious and slowing my system down too much to continue using Final Cut for this simple task. I had even downloaded and tried to install the program in the past and failed to figure out how to actually do anything with it. The website is a bit confusing and if you are not very tech savvy, it can be overwhelming. In comes FFmpeg!įFmpeg is easy to use, but it doesn’t look like it at first. We had tried tsMuxeR, a free tool to do just that, but it fails to recognize. So we needed a way to combine (or ‘mux’) the files together without re-encoding. As far as I can tell, this is because they are re-encoding the videos during export. However, exporting the resulting re-combined video from these programs takes a long time. Previously, we were using either Movie Maker or Final Cut to do this. The settings we have the camera set to results in 18 minute 45 second chunks, which we then have to re-combine somehow. According to some sources, this is due to a maximum file size limit on. The Zoom Q8, however, splits up recordings into 3.69GB chunks (or smaller). wav for our bundles which we’ll pair with metadata files for archiving (we will later make selections from these raw video files to transcribe, translate, and further annotate). mp4 with Handbrake, extract the audio with Audacity, and then use the resulting. MOV, both with h.264 encoding.įor the Panasonic files, we can simply convert them to. The video files coming off the Panasonic are. We are recording with two cameras, a Panasonic HC V770k () and a Zoom Q8 ().
