combining two .mov files to play along side of one another
I’m trying to get two .mov files to play in unison with each other side by side and also have a caption at the bottom of each file, anyone any ideas.
I have it installed on windows 7 and an going through the command line.
I’m also new at this so any answers will need to be explained in detail
here is what I have already
ffmpeg -i orig.mov -an -vcodec v210 -vf “pad=2*iw+30:ih+20:10:10:blue [orig]; movie=2a.mov [new] ; [orig][new] overlay=740:10 [overlay]; [overlay] drawtext=fontfile=C:/windows/fonts/FreeSerif.ttf:fontsize=32:fontcolor=white@0.3:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.3:text=orig.mov:x=300:y=530 [text1]; [text1] draw text=fontfile=C:/windows/fonts/FreeSerif.ttf:fontsize=32:fontcolor=white@0.3:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.3:text=2a.mov:x=1020:y=530 [text2] ; [text2] yadif=0:-1:0 [out]” -sameq -vcodec v210 2a_sbs.mov
but i’m getting an error:
No such filter: ‘drawtext’

First check that the build you are using supports that filter.
To get a listing of available filters:
ffmpeg -filters -
Good advice. It is also important to know that the filter in question (drawtext) has a dependency of libfreetype which you must install first and the enable in FFmpeg by using –enable-libfreetype.
