Alright, listen up. You want to loop audio for a specific duration in FFmpeg? It’s not complicated. You use -stream_loop with -t. That’s it. This is basic stuff, people.
Here’s the command for your already processed audio. Ten hours, done:
ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -i output.mp3 -t 10:00:00 final_10_hour_loop.mp3Let’s break this down, just in case you’re new here:
ffmpeg: Your tool. Obviously.-stream_loop -1: This is the key. It tells FFmpeg to loop indefinitely. Infinitely. Forever. Until it’s told to stop.-i output.mp3: Your input file. The one you already clipped and slowed down. Don’t mess this up.-t 10:00:00: The cutoff. This is the duration of your final output file. Ten hours, zero minutes, zero seconds. FFmpeg stops looping once it hits this. Simple.final_10_hour_loop.mp3: The name of your output file. Call it what you want, this is just an example.
Now, for those of you who want to be efficient, who understand that combining steps saves time and processing power: you can do all three operations trimming, slowing down, and looping in a single command. It’s about applying filters to the input and then looping that filtered output.
Here’s how a combined command would look:
ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -i input.mp3 -af "atempo=0.8" -t 10:00:00 final_10_hour_loop.mp3However, since you already have your trimmed and slowed down file, just use the first command. Don’t overcomplicate it. Get your work done.
