With
AtomicParsley,
you can set the thumbnail that will be displayed when you look at the file in a file explorer. Example commands
$ atomicparsley infile.mp4 --artwork infile.png
$ atomicparsley infile.mp4 -t
Atom "covr" contains: 1 piece of artwork
I notice that the artwork shows up as a stream with FFmpeg
ffmpeg version N-51639-g7775992 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg developers built on Apr 5 2013 22:29:42 with gcc 4.8.0 (GCC) Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'A Knight's Tale (2001).mp4': Duration: 02:12:08.96, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2364 kb/s Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1280x544 [SAR 1:1 DAR 40:17], 2071 kb/s, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 24k tbn, 47.95 tbc Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, 5.1, fltp, 287 kb/s Stream #0:2: Video: png, rgb24, 1280x544 [SAR 1:1 DAR 40:17], 90k tbr, 90k tbn, 90k tbc
So, is it possible to mux in thumbnail artwork using FFmpeg?
Best Answer
Try to use ffmpeg
-disposition
option along with-map
.More information can be found in ffmpeg documentation:
Also, please note, it's not guaranteed that the image you use will be showed in a video preview or as a file tumbanail, because different software programs may not use embedded thumbnails at all.
