It appears that your previous command was out of bounds of your actual
input size; meaning that your -s and/or your x,y offsets were too large.

For future reference please make a new message instead of replying to
an unrelated, existing one and changing the subject (thread hijacking).
Otherwise it will be threaded as a reply to message you replied to due
to the references and/or in-reply-to headers. If you don't know what
I'm talking about just look at the placement of your message in the
archives:

<https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-June/thread.html>

Also, you should remove messages from the mailing-list moderation queue
if you re-send a duplicate since sometimes I don't always notice the
new re-sent message which results in duplicates. Yeah, lots of rules
to remember, but it's a somewhat high volume list with many subscribers.
