I have:

  1. a video which has mono audio inside
  2. a audio (mono)

I'd like to merge those two to a single video file containing:

  • video from #1
  • audio from #1 full left pan + audio #2 full right pan

Is this possible in ffmpeg using 1 command?

I've tried the following which almost does this but the video/audio gets out of sync:

$ ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -filter_complex "amovie=audio.wav [r] ; [r] amerge" output.mp4 -y

I've managed to do it with multiple commands:

#1 create right panned audio
ffmpeg -i audio.wav -ac 2 -vbr 5 audio-stereo.mp3 -y
ffmpeg -i audio-stereo.mp3 -af pan=stereo:c1=c1 audio-right.mp3 -y

#2 create left panned video
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -af pan=stereo:c0=c0 video-left.mp4 -y

#3 merge the two
ffmpeg -i video-left.mp4 -i audio-right.mp3 -c:v copy -filter_complex "amix=inputs=2" video-mixed.mp4 -y

It does the job, but is it possible with 1 command?

  • Please show the complete ffmpeg console output from the very first ffmpeg command in your question.

  • Can you also provide video.mp4 and audio.wav?

    Works for me with ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy output.mp4

Works for me with:

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge[a]" \
-map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy output.mp4
