FFmpeg General Optimizer

Generate optimized FFmpeg commands. Configure generic settings like faststart, tuning for fast decode, and presets.

Generic Optimized Command

Good for daily use, archiving, and streaming.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=w=1080:h=1920:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1920:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:color=black,setsar=1:1" -crf 18 -preset veryslow -threads 0 -tune fastdecode -movflags +faststart output_optimized.mp4
Note:Combines scaling, padding, high quality encoding (-crf 18), slow preset for better compression, and web optimization flags.

Web Optimization (Faststart)

Move metadata to start of file for faster playback.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -movflags +faststart output.mp4
Note:-movflags +faststart moves the moov atom to the beginning of the file, allowing the video to start playing before it is fully downloaded.

Tune for Fast Decode

Optimize for playback on lower-end devices.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -tune fastdecode output.mp4
Note:-tune fastdecode disables some advanced encoding features to make the video easier to decode on older devices.
