The output of this command should be something like this 1920x1080 displayed on your console.

ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=width,height -of csv=s=x:p=0 input.mp4 If you don’t have access to ffprobe, you can download it from OTTVerse’s FFmpeg build page. Using the ffprobe tool that’s shipped with the FFmpeg builds, let’s determine the resolution of an input video. So, as the very first step, let’s find out what the input video’s resolution is.

For example, the input video’s resolution could be 1920x1080 and ABR bitstreams could be 1280x720, 640x480, etc. This is particularly true for ABR video streaming where a single video is taken as the source and compressed to several different bitrate-resolution combinations.

In this FFmpeg tutorial, we learn to change the resolution of a video (or resize/scale a video) using FFmpeg’s commandline tool.Ĭhanging a video’s resolution (also known as resizing or scaling) is a very common operation in video editing, processing, and compression.
