Cropping a Video

Lets start with a 1280x720 video - 10.mp4
We will use the command: ffmpeg -i 10.mp4 -vf "crop=1280:200:0:220" 1280x200out.mp4
crop=1280:200 creates a video 1280x200 The original video must be must have a
width greater equal to or freater than 1280 and a height greater than 200.
The 0:220 means the upper left corner will start at point 0 of the width.
The 220 means the top of the new video starts at 220 pixels from the top.

EXAMPLE

ffmpeg -i 10.mp4 -vf "crop=1280:200:0:220" vids/1280x200out.mp4

Video to Gif

Generate a palette:
ffmpeg -i vids/1280x200out.mp4 \
-vf fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen images/palette.png

Output the GIF using the palette:

ffmpeg vids/1280x200out.mp4 -i images/palette.png -filter_complex \
"fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" images/1280x200out.gif

start time and duration may be controled with ffmpeg -ss 30 -t 3 -i input.mp4
-ss 30 ( start after thirty seconds ) -t 3 ( use the next 3 seconds )
---------------------
Another way is to convert video to images.

mkdir frames
ffmpeg -i input -vf scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos,fps=10 frames/ffout%03d.png

Then use convert (or gm convert if you prefer GraphicsMagick) to make your animated GIF:
convert -loop 0 frames/ffout*.png output.gif

Example Gif Below

Example of video used to create the gif

Two steps:

ffmpeg -i vids/1280x200out.mp4 \
-vf fps=10,scale=1280:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen images/palette.png

ffmpeg vids/1280x200out.mp4 -i images/palette.png -filter_complex \
"fps=10,scale=1280:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" images/1280x200out.gif

OR

Example Using Images:
mkdir frames && ffmpeg -i vids/1280x200out.mp4 \
-vf scale=1280:-1:flags=lanczos,fps=10 frames/ffout%03d.png \
&& convert -loop 0 frames/ffout*.png images/fromframes.gif

Example Using Images

Quality appears to be equal.

Resize a Video

ffmpeg -i vids/spin5a.mp4 -vf scale=250:250 vids/250square.mp4

Sliding an Overlay video across another Video

Sliding a Video From Right to Left ( The image is below )
Slide the text image across a video - start after 3 seconds end at 30 seconds.
between=(t,3,30)
Start location 1220 (x=1220) with each step of t move left 60px (x=1220-t*60).
Set y axis at 50px (y=50[out])

ffmpeg -i vids/Bhengs-Sari-Sari-Philippine-Home-Store.mp4 -i vids/spin5a.mp4 \
-filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=enable='between=(t,5,30)':x=20+t*28:y=t*10[out]" \
-map "[out]" -t 30 vids/videoslide.mp4

Sharpen A video

Unsharpen Defaults: 5:5:1.0:5:5:0.0.
-vf unsharp=8:8:1.5:8:8:1.5
1st = kernel of luma filter x size (odd 3 to 63)
2nd = kernel of luma filter y size (odd 3 to 63)
3rd = amount of luma filtering (−1.5 to 1.5 but can be any number); negative=blur, positive=sharpen
4th = kernel of chroma filter x size (odd 3 to 63)
5th = kernel of chroma filter y size (odd 3 to 63)
6th = amount of chroma filtering (−1.5 to 1.5 but can be any number); negative=blur, positive=sharpen

Original Video (blurry)

Sharpened Video

ffmpeg -i vids/BingstoreSharpen.mp4 \
-vf unsharp=9:9:1.5:9:9:1.5 vids/SharpenBingstore3.mp4

To resize a movie to 320 × 240 pixels:
ffmpeg -i input.MOV -vf scale=320:240 output.MOV

To invert the colors in a movie:
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf lutrgb="r=negval:g=negval:b=negval" output3.MOV

To increase brightness by a factor of four:
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf lutyuv=y=val*4 output3.MOV

To increase red by a factor of two:
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf lutrgb=r=val*2 output3.MOV

To increase gamma by factor of 5:
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf 'lutyuv=y=gammaval(0.2)' output3.MOV
The quotes are needed to prevent the shell from messing with the command.

To rotate a movie by 45 degrees:
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf rotate=45 output3.MOV

The sharpen, blur, or sharpen a movie:
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf unsharp output3.MOV
ffmpeg -i output2.MOV -vf unsharp=7:7:-2:7:7:-2 output3.MOV
