I have a video clip that I use as a background, then another clip that contains some text, is there a way to make this second clip start
playing after x seconds?
background: 00:00:00|-------------------|00:00:05
foreground: 00:00:02| >---------|00:00:05
^it starts
The timestamps of the overlay have to be shifted and overlay filter has to be told to delay start of overlay.
Basic form of command is
ffmpeg -i base -itsoffset X -i overlay -filter_complex "[0][1]overlay=enable='gt(t\,X)'" output
Audio processing and encoding will use default parameters.
