BLIND-CONCAT(1)

🎀 BLIND-CONCAT(1) — General Commands Manual energy 🎀

okay so this is the page for blind-concat(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally about gluing videos together. bestie. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

blind-concat — concatenate videos. That's it, that's the name. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

blind-concat [-o output-file [-j jobs]] first-stream ... last-stream

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

blind-concat concatenates the videos from the file first-stream to last-stream in the order they are specified, and prints the resulting video to stdout, or if specified, output-file. no cap, that's the whole vibe: you list the streams, it stacks them in that exact order, and the result goes to standard output unless you tell it otherwise. 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -o output-file — print the resulting video to output-file instead of stdout. And heads up: output-file must be a regular file. Not a directory, not a weird little special file — a regular file, periodt. 💅
• -j jobs — it says "Always tead from jobs input files at the same time (or the number of uncomplete files if less are remaining)." Yes, the page says "tead" — we are respecting the iconic typo, okay? 😭 The files will be read in order. This is useful if the files are pipes to which other processes are rendering. Very much "let the other processes cook while we read" energy. 🍓
