Today, I wanted to mess around with something called the “matterhorn express pipeline.” I’d heard about it, and it sounded interesting, so I figured, why not give it a shot? It is related to video processing,I want to build my own video process pipeline.
First things first, I needed to get the basics set up. that meant getting FFmpeg. I already install FFmpeg and some * I jumped straight into action.
Next,I start to make the pipeline.I use some command combine them.
I started simple. My goal was to take a video, chop it into smaller segments, and then maybe do some simple stuff like resizing or adding a watermark. I found a test video I had lying around – just a random recording of my desktop, nothing fancy.
I fire up the command, fingers crossed, and… it starts chugging along! I can see FFmpeg doing its thing, spitting out a bunch of text in the terminal. It felt pretty cool, watching it work.
- Segmenting the Video: This was the first big step. I used a command that tell FFmpeg to take my input video and slice it into 10-second chunks.
After a bit of waiting , the process finishes. I check the output folder, and there they are! A bunch of smaller video files, all neatly segmented. Success!
Further Experiments
Feeling more confident, I decided to add a some filter to the pipeline. Like, I added a command to resize one of the segments to half its original size. Just to see if I could.
It worked! It’s a small thing, but it’s cool to see how you can string these commands together to build more complex processes.I think I get the core about the pipeline.
So, that’s my little adventure with the “matterhorn express pipeline” so far.I make a simple pipeline and it works fine. It’s a lot of trial and error.
