ffmpeg - Audio - Add audio to a video file

Adding an audio file to a video is achieved with mapping.


Example

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 output.mp4

NOTE: This maps the video to the first video stream of the output (default) and the audio onto the first audio stream in the output file.

  • This command copies the two files into one without any compressing;
  • If one file is longer than the other use -shortest which finishes the encoding when the shortest stream ends.
