[FFmpeg-user] Making length of both videos equal while using chromakey (colorkey )filter.

[Usman Archi]

This works.

-y -i (videoPath1) -i (videoPath2) -filter_complex
[1:v]colorkey=0x00ff00:0.3:0.15[a][ckout];[0:v][a][ckout]overlay[despill];[despill]despill=green[out]
-map [out] -map 0:a -b 3200000 -s 640:360 -c:a copy (outputPath)

(removed the setpts command and ALL overlay parameters)

This does not work (added both setpts and overlay parameters)

-y -i (videoPath1) -i (videoPath2) -filter_complex
[1:v]setpts=PTS-32/TB,colorkey=0x00ff00:0.3:0.15[a][ckout];[0:v][a][ckout]overlay=0:0:enable=gte(t\,5):eof_action=pass[despill];[despill]despill=green[out]
-map [out] -map 0:a -b 3200000 -s 640:360 -c:a copy (outputPath)

This also does not work (removed setpts)

-y -i (videoPath1) -i (videoPath2) -filter_complex
[1:v]colorkey=0x00ff00:0.3:0.15[a][ckout];[0:v][a][ckout]overlay=0:0:enable=gte(t\,5):eof_action=pass[despill];[despill]despill=green[out]
-map [out] -map 0:a -b 3200000 -s 640:360 -c:a copy (outputPath)

Neither this (removed overlay parameters)

-y -i (videoPath1) -i (videoPath2) -filter_complex
[1:v]setpts=PTS-32/TB,colorkey=0x00ff00:0.3:0.15[a][ckout];[0:v][a][ckout]overlay[despill];[despill]despill=green[out]
-map [out] -map 0:a -b 3200000 -s 640:360 -c:a copy (outputPath)

So any time I add the setpts command OR the overlay parameters, it doesn't
work.

Are you saying: '[0:v][a][ckout]overlay'  are 3 inputs, and it shouldn't
work? If yes, then this does work. I can even show you a video of this
working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
