I am trying to transfer an image into a video using FFMpeg in Laravel and it generates the video with 0 seconds duration, and also, converted the image into mp4 format and stored it at my given location but the video length is 0 seconds.

You can use the PHP FFMpeg library to convert an image to a video. Here are the general steps you can follow:

  • First, you need to install the PHP FFMpeg library try the below-given command in your terminal:

    composer require php-ffmpeg/php-ffmpeg

  • Now, create an instance of the FFMpeg class in your Laravel controller, and add the path to your image file:

    use FFMpeg\\FFMpeg;
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg::create();
$image = $ffmpeg->open('path/to/image.jpg');

  • Save the FFMpeg class to convert the image to a video using the same keyword. For example, use the below command if you want to create a video in MP4 format.

    $video = $image->save(new \\FFMpeg\\Format\\Video\\X264(), 'path/to/output.mp4');

Otherwise, you can use this simple method to convert images into video.

Not only this you can also add audio to the video. For example

$audio = $ffmpeg->open('path/to/audio.mp3');
$video = $image->addAudio($audio)->save(new \\FFMpeg\\Format\\Video\\X264(), 'path/to/output.mp4');

Hi ,
Yes, it is. But, note you need to adjust the parameters of the save method depending on your requirements.
