FFMPEG workshop: learn open source audio/video automation for live music recordings, podcasts, audio research data, DJ sets, sample libraries management, CCTV, seismology,…

In this hands-on workshop, you learn to use ffmpeg and other open source Linux tools to automate audio and video workflows on Android, Linux or Windows. Instead of relying on expensive software, you’ll build simple, powerful command-line solutions that save hours of repetitive work. Use cases include automatically splitting long live concert recordings into songs, splitting podcasts and interviews into segments, batch processing large collections of audio files, audio normalization, compression, and silence detection, video conversion and audio extraction, batch file renaming and media organization, BPM detection for DJ libraries, sample library organization, applying EQ and filters, and creating repeatable scripts for your own workflow. Every workshop is adapted to your goals.
- Split live concert recordings into separate songs
- Split podcasts and interviews automatically
- Organize DJ sample libraries
- Batch audio normalization
- Convert thousands of media files
- Extract audio from video
- Detect silence and create chapters
- Process, analyze, and index scientific recordings
- CCTV archive processing
- Manage, organize, and index seismology and environmental datasets
No prior Linux experience required. The focus is on understanding workflows and building practical solutions you can modify. Personal consulting and remote assistance can also be included. (I can connect to a client’s Android device or computer, set everything up, and walk them through how to use it, so they can start immediately.)
