(default is 99999) ### `--video-speed NUM` \[Deprecated\] Set speed of active segments to NUM. (default is 1) ## Timeline Options: ### `--export EXPORT:ATTRS?` #### Aliases: `-ex` Choose the export mode ### `--frame-rate NUM` #### Aliases: `-tb` `--time-base` `-r` `-fps` Set timeline frame rate ### `--sample-rate NAT` #### Aliases: `-ar` Set timeline sample rate ### `--resolution WIDTH,HEIGHT` #### Aliases: `-res` Set timeline width and height ### `--background COLOR` #### Aliases: `-b` `-bg` Set the background as a solid RGB color ## URL Download Options: ### `--yt-dlp-location PATH` Set a custom path to yt-dlp ### `--output-format TEMPLATE` Set the yt-dlp output file template (\--output, -o) ### `--yt-dlp-extras CMD` Add extra options for yt-dlp. Must be in quotes ## Display Options: ### `--progress PROGRESS` Set what type of progress bar to use ### `--debug` Show debugging messages and values ### `--quiet` #### Aliases: `-q` Display less output ### `--stats` #### Aliases: `--preview` Show stats on how the input will be cut and halt ## Container Settings: ### `-vn` Disable the inclusion of video streams ### `-an` Disable the inclusion of audio streams ### `-sn` Disable the inclusion of subtitle streams ### `-dn` Disable the inclusion of data streams ### `--faststart` Enable movflags +faststart, recommended for web (default) ### `--no-faststart` Disable movflags +faststart, will be faster for large files ### `--fragmented` Use fragmented mp4/mov to allow playback before video is complete. ### `--no-fragmented` Do not use fragmented mp4/mov for better compatibility (default) ## Video Rendering: ### `--video-codec ENCODER` #### Aliases: `-c:v` `-vcodec` Set video codec for output media ### `--video-bitrate BITRATE` #### Aliases: `-b:v` Set the number of bits per second for video ### `-crf NUM` Set the Constant Rate Factor for quality-based encoding. Lower = better quality. [0-63] ### `-vprofile PROFILE` #### Aliases: `-profile:v` Set the video profile. For h264: high, main, or baseline ### `--preset PRESET` #### Aliases: `-preset` Set the video encoder's preset (e.g. ultrafast, medium, slow) ### `--scale NUM` Scale the output video's resolution by NUM factor ### `--no-seek` Disable file seeking when rendering video. Helpful for debugging desync issues ## Audio Rendering: ### `--audio-codec ENCODER` #### Aliases: `-c:a` `-acodec` Set audio codec for output media ### `--audio-layout LAYOUT` #### Aliases: `-layout` Set the audio layout for the output media/timeline ### `--audio-bitrate BITRATE` #### Aliases: `-b:a` Set the number of bits per second for audio ### `--mix-audio-streams` Mix all audio streams together into one ### `--audio-normalize NORM-TYPE` #### Aliases: `-anorm` Apply audio normalizing (either ebu or peak).
