split files

ffmpeg -i introVideoWithLogo.mp4 -y -filter_complex ^
"split=2[out1][out2]" -map "[out1]" -ss 0 -t 10.4 -map 0  output1.mp4 -map "[out2]" -ss 10.5 -t 7 -map 0  output2.mp4

scale file

ffmpeg -i cure4UrinaryProblems.mp4 -vf "scale='min(640,iw)':min'(352,ih)':force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=640:352:-1:-1:color=pink" scaled.mp4

Crop files

set OUTPUT_FILE="vlogOpener.mp4"
set CROP_WIDTH=1366
set CROP_HEIGHT=768
set CROP_STARTX=277
set CROP_STARTY=156
set OUTPUT_FILE="vlogOpener%CROP_WIDTH%x%CROP_HEIGHT%.mp4"
ffmpeg -i vlogOpener1920x1080.mp4 -filter:v "crop=%CROP_WIDTH%:%CROP_HEIGHT%:%CROP_STARTX%:%CROP_STARTy%" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p  %OUTPUT_FILE% -y

concat files https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7333232/how-to-concatenate-two-mp4-files-using-ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i output1.mp4 -i output2.mp4 -filter_complex ^
"[0:v] [0:a] [1:v] [1:a] ^
concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" concatOutput.mp4

set target bit rate

set TARGET_BITRATE=278
 ffmpeg -i output2.mp4 -c:v libx264 -b:v %TARGET_BITRATE%k -y output2_%TARGET_BITRATE%k.mp4
 ffmpeg -i output1.mp4 -c:v libx264 -b:v %TARGET_BITRATE%k -y output1_%TARGET_BITRATE%k.mp4

concat with vsync when bit rates differ

set CONTENT_FOLDER=sajeev

add watermark

PS : while setting WATERMARK_TEXT care should be taken escape charachters ,;'" with \ etc

set WATERMARK_TEXT='Dr. Sajeev Pancha Kailasi\:  Curing Urinary Issues with Yogasanas. Patanjali Yoga Training and Research Centre\, Kochi\, Kerala'
