How do I export the command line for anything I put into clever ffmpeg gui?

Hi, if there is no option to export the command line and allso if it is not possible to copy the acctual text, if it is sort of "hard burnt" into the program and not the copy friendly version, there is such programs which make it possible from within this program interface easily select any open program and all "hard coded" text within any program will come up as copy friendly text!

Ive got one on my computer ill try find it and see what the name is since i cant remeber the name and i dont know where i put it!

I couldnt open the attachment and ive not used the cleverffmpeg either, hoping the response is still on topic!

If you want commandlines use the internet and learn by yourself.
Otherwise use the GUI.

How do I batch process videos in the gui with all of them having the same encoding settings?

You must load each file, make your settings and add to the batch staple. Then they can be processed all in one go.

Something like this will put all the new files in a folder called "new":

md new
for %%F in ("*.mp4") do (
    ffmpeg -y -i "%%~nxF" -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -preset veryfast -c:a copy "new\%%~nxF"
)

Sorry for the delay, the program name was SysExporter, it is not the most good looking program but it is working pretty good! There is probably some other program around with better looks if you check around for it! From SysExporter it is possible to copy to clipboard and allso it is possible to select items and export it.

How would I use SysExporter to export the command line from ffmpeg gui?

Well, normally when you add an video to an ffmpeg gui, it will automaticly generate an command line, if it is not possible to export it from within the ffmpeg gui, sometimes if it generate an hard coded command line that cannot be copied/exorted, this program will make it possible to copy/export it by selecting the program you want to copy hard coded text from (such as system messages or other parts of the program that you cant select/mark to copy it to the clipboard, for example an hard coded and generated command line from an ffmpeg gui). Basicly you just open the FFMpeg GUI + the SysExporter program and either select the FFMpeg GUI from the SysExporter's generated program list or by using the program selection tool that is avalible from within SysExporter. Once done with that you can select to copy the command line or to export it!

Check if GUI allow to use ffmpeg command '-report' if yes then produced log has detailed ffmpeg command line so you can re-use it with other sources in batch.

[wiseant]

To get command line for ffmpeg check out FFQueue

"FFQueue can sort out the most significant output from FFMpeg and display it in the graphical console and save it to a HTML-based (color coded) logfile for easy review when the queue has been processed.

report? Where do I find that?

I have FFQuene, now how do I use it to get the command line from the clever gui?

This is command (or option) - '-report' - integral part of ffmpeg - decent GUI should allow to add manually report or selecting checkmark to activate such.

I talked to the maker and they said, "the command lines remain my secret."

Well - bit disappointing approach - use different GUI then - luckily there is more than one GUI for ffmpeg.
Btw It should be possible to get commandline for process - install some modern process explorer (i use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer )and try to extract commandline directly from process.

What GUI do you recommended I should use? How do I export the command line using process explorer?

Yes I always used to use this method when I saw a rundll32 in the Task Manager process tab and wanted to see what it was.

To be honest i can't recommend any ffmpeg GUI - almost never used any but on VideoHelp you have some recommendations on VideoHelp (programs section) and also forum members may be helpful on this.

Command line of process can be easily investigated in Process Explorer, run ffmpeg trough GUI then search for ffmpeg process in PE window - after hoovering on process its commandline will be displayed as popup - you can investigate it more thoroughly - just activate process properties and commandline is presented in tab 'Image' where it can be easily copied - hope it will work for you as it works for me - i use Win7 and PE version 16.21 .

The answer is quite simple, read ffmpeg manuals, web manuals and most important web sites that specialize on coding solutions.

The most direct way is thru googling though.

Use some sites that are dedicated to coders, like stackoverflow, so for example google "stackoverflow ffmpeg encoding lossless png from video"
It is really simple as that, read searched results, read those pages, click on links etc., you have your line in no time.
