🎬 n8n-nodes-ffmpeg-bigboss

FFmpeg BigBoss is a professional-grade audiovisual processing node for n8n. Refactored from the ground up to provide reliable, production-ready FFmpeg capabilities without the memory overhead common in other nodes.

🚀 Key Features

• BigBoss Reliability: Fixed known muxing issues with explicit stream mapping (-map 0:v -map 1:a).
• Dual Input Modes:
  • Binary: Process data directly from n8n workflows.
  • File Path: Handle large files directly from disk without memory overhead—essential for 4K and long videos.
• Two Operation Modes:
  • Simple: Easy presets for quick tasks (Convert, Compress, Extract).
  • BigBoss: Full granular control over Codecs, CRF, Presets, and Custom Arguments.
• Perfect Sync: Optimized for merging BigBoss TTS audio with video tracks.

🕹️ Operations

1. Convert / Transcode: Change format, codec, and resolution.
2. Compress: Optimize file size with intelligent CRF and Speed Presets.
3. Extract Audio: Rip high-quality audio from any video source.
4. Merge Video & Audio: Combine video and audio tracks with perfect synchronization.
5. Get Metadata: Deep analysis of media streams using ffprobe.
6. Custom Command: Run any raw FFmpeg command for specialized workflows.

🛠️ Usage

Merge Video & Audio (The BigBoss Way)

1. Select Operation: Merge Video & Audio.
2. Choose Input Source: File Path.
3. Provide absolute paths for Video File Path and Audio File Path. Using File Paths avoids loading large binaries into memory, making your n8n instance faster and more stable.

Advanced Transcoding

1. Select Operation: Convert / Transcode.
2. Set Mode to BigBoss.
3. Select specific Video Codec (e.g., H.264) and Audio Codec (e.g., AAC).

📥 Installation
