(Please remove "-an": I believe it makes no difference 
for your use case but I initially wondered if FFmpeg 
processes audio at all with your sample command line.)

Your "original" input is indefinitely long.

Your first overlay is 2:27

Your second overlay is 2:30

You will have to add a "-t" option to your command line if 
you don't want your output file to have infinite length.
(Try -t 2:27)
