[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg automation

[Floris Kotze]

Good afternoon, Lou suggested I post this to you,
a question:

If I have a folder with 30 clips of various formats, codecs, frame-rates
and frame-sizes, is there a way to tell ffmpeg to grab random clips, only
select certain sections of certain clips, add a music track, and edit it
down to 30 seconds of exciting video and to render it out to say Mp4?

Basically, we want an automated edit of a lot of clips.

Can this be done?

Thank you.
