Goal:

Our blog strives to provide a explanation of how to convert audio to video using ffmpeg

Sample audio.

To convert audio to video , run the below command

ffmpeg -y -i <sample_audio_path> -filter_complex "showfreqs=s=hd720:colors=blue" <output_path>

-y: Overwrites the output file if it already exists without asking for confirmation.

-i <sample_audio_path>: Specifies the input file sample.mp3, which is the audio file to visualize.

-filter_complex: Begins the filtergraph description for complex filter operations.

"showfreqs=s=hd720:colors=blue": Specifies the showfreqs filter with the following parameters:

s=hd720: Sets the size of the output waveform video to HD resolution (1280x720 pixels). You can adjust the size according to your needs.

colors=blue: Sets the color of the waveform to blue. You can choose a different color by specifying its name or hexadecimal code.

<output_path> : Sets the output file name as wave_video.mp4, which will be the resulting waveform video.

For example

ffmpeg -y -i sample_audio.mp3 -filter_complex "showfreqs=s=hd720:colors=blue" wave_video.mp4

After running the above command audio converted to video . To check the output file properties run ffprobe <output_file> command
