FFmpeg Command Visualizer

Our visualizer supports all standard FFmpeg operations including simple/complex filtergraphs, audio/video filtering, stream mapping, and complex command structures with multiple inputs/outputs.

Yes! Our visualizer parses your command and highlights syntax errors, invalid filter parameters, and common mistakes.

Diagrams are parsed directly from your command structure using FFmpeg's syntax rules. The visualization matches the actual processing pipeline FFmpeg would execute, including filter chain connections and stream mappings.

No installation required! Our web-based tool works directly in your browser. Just paste your command and get instant visualization.

Yes. The tool clearly shows connections between multiple inputs (video/audio streams) and their processing through filters like concat, overlay, or complex filter graphs.

While the visualizer works with any FFmpeg-compatible formats (MP4, MOV, MKV, etc.), the diagram focuses on command structure rather than specific codecs. Contact us if you need format-specific analysis.

By visualizing the command flow, you can: 1) Understand filter chain connections 2) Identify stream mapping relationships 3) Debug complex commands 4) Learn FFmpeg's processing logic through interactive diagrams.

A dashed edge represents a stream selected by FFmpeg's Automatic stream selection (see: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#Automatic-stream-selection). Streams selected by this rule have some limitations: 1) only the file extension is used to guess what types of streams are present, and we assume each file contains only one stream of the same type. 2) The actual media information in the file, such as resolution, is unknown, so optimal selection based on such properties is not possible.

Absolutely. Each filter node in the diagram includes a documentation link that opens the FFmpeg filter documentation in a new tab. Just click on any filter to learn about its parameters and usage examples.
