# How to Create Videos Like the Demo (52 seconds in just 736kB!)
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how I created such a small yet effective demonstration video, being only **736kB** for a **52-second video**!

### What You Need
|
|
|
|
- A background image (bg.jpg)
|
|
- The subtitle file (.srt) **(created by Abogen)**
|
|
- The audio recording (.wav) **(created by Abogen)**
|
|
- [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and FFmpeg installed on your computer:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Windows
|
|
winget install ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
# MacOS
|
|
brew install ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
# Linux
|
|
sudo apt install ffmpeg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Process the Subtitle File
|
|
|
|
Run this command to process Abogen's subtitle file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python convert.py your_subtitle.srt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This creates a properly formatted subtitle file called "your_subtitle_demo.ass" with centered text and appropriate styling.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Create the Video (.webm)
|
|
|
|
Run this FFmpeg command to create the tiny video:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 24 -i bg.jpg -i audio.wav -vf "ass=your_subtitle_demo.ass" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 0 -crf 30 -c:a libopus -shortest demo.webm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## For Higher Quality (But Larger) Video (.mp4)
|
|
|
|
If you need better quality for distribution, use this command instead:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 24 -i bg.jpg -i audio.wav -vf "ass=your_subtitle_demo.ass" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -movflags +faststart -c:a copy -shortest demo.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This creates an MP4 file that's compatible with more devices but larger in size.
