FFmpeg Image Overlay Implementation
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a rock-solid FFmpeg routine that takes any incoming image—whether it’s a file pulled from a URL or one dynamically generated in memory—and composites a second image on top of it. The overlay itself is another static image (logo, badge, etc.), not text or video.
Here’s what I’m after:
• A tested FFmpeg command or short script that accepts two image inputs and outputs a single overlaid image in common formats (PNG and JPG at minimum).
• Clear notes on any flags, filters, or pixel-format considerations so I can adapt the command inside my existing pipeline.
• Guidance on gracefully handling both remote URLs and freshly generated images (think pipes, temp files, or stdin/stdout tricks) without massive performance hits.
Please keep proposals focused on your hands-on experience performing image-on-image overlays with FFmpeg—benchmarks, similar past implementations, or pitfalls you’ve already solved are especially helpful.
