FFmpeg JSON commands development for video editing / text overlay / auto-correction.
Job description (without secrets, in general):
I need a specialist in FFmpeg who confidently works with:
- -filter_complex
- drawtext (multiline text, line breaks, centering)
- overlay (logos / watermarks / additional layers)
I already have a ready automated pipeline (text → images/videos for social media), but now someone needs to:
- Set up and refine FFmpeg templates
- multiple blocks of text on one frame (title + body);
- positioning by percentage of the frame (x, y, “move everything up/down”);
- work with basic color correction, scaling, fps.
- Make commands resilient to any text
- correct escaping of quotes, apostrophes, commas;
- support for Unicode/UTF-8 (long dash, “smart” quotes, etc.);
- so that the command does not fail, even if there are many special characters in the text.
- Gather a couple of universal templates
- for static slides (image + text for carousels);
- for short videos/previews for social media.
What is important from the performer:
- Deep understanding of FFmpeg, especially filter_complex, drawtext, overlay.
- Experience specifically with text on videos/images, not just conversion.
- Attention to detail: noticing if the text is misaligned, does not fit in width, or is broken due to characters.
- Willingness to explain in simple terms what is configured where (minimal documentation for templates).
Goal of the work:
Create several stable, reusable FFmpeg templates for automatic generation of slides and short videos for social media, so that I can simply add text and images to them — without manual editing of commands each time.

2181 10 0 5 days200 USDGood day! Recently, I had a similar project involving video processing with ffmpeg (I created a program for a client to compile song collections - the program included text overlay, minimal effects, animations and sound, transitions).
Overall, I have significant experience in development with Python in similar solutions. I have taken courses in graphic media processing and am familiar with the relevant algorithms. I have worked with ffmpeg and created other applications for photo and video processing (using libraries like OpenCV, ski-image, moviepy).
I am ready to develop a quick, optimized solution. I will create a user-friendly desktop or web interface with template selection. Write to me, and we can discuss the details!
