FFMpeg.. RAWR!!!

-=-=-

I spent, literally, all day yesterday, faffing about with ffmpeg.
The task was a simple one. Take a picture, scale it to 1920x1080, overlay a waveform, add a title, render a video.
Easy as pie!
Or so I thought.
After a good solid 2 hour session trying, and failing, to get that to all overlay atop each other, I ended up stripping the code away, starting again, rearranging, rejigging and otherwise pulling my hair out, trying to get the blasted thing to work the way I wanted it to.

I've *almost* got it to the manner I want, and will likely be putting the finishing touches to it, tonight.

A very very frustrating day of very very broken things!

The reason, of course, is so that future AL-Choons can be rendered over to YouTube.


The above video was rendered at the very start of the day, and you can see it's mostly finished.
The added step of "Add a picture underneath" was absolutely mental, and caused a whole lot of hair-pulling in the wee small hours of the night!!!
