<p>What I'm trying to accomplish is the following:
I want to use <code>ffmpeg</code> (preferably a single command) to combine a video (<code>video.mp4</code>) file with an audio file (<code>audio.mp3</code>) and have some background music (<code>music.mp3</code>) playing.
The output should end after the length of <code>audio.mp3</code> (or even better after the end of <code>audio.mp3</code> + 5 seconds). So music and video are allowed to be cut.</p>
<p>All separate tasks work in a way but putting everything together just doesn't work.</p>
<p>My approach (with some extras like fading in video and audio volume control):</p>
<pre><code>ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -i music.mp3 -vf &quot;fade=t=in:st=0:d=5&quot; -filter_complex
&quot;[1:a]volume=1[audio]; [2:a]volume=0.25[music];
[audio][music]amix=inputs=2[mix]&quot;
-map 0:v -map &quot;[mix]&quot; -c:v h264 -c:a aac -shortest output.mp4
</code></pre>
<p>That works but the output is not cut after the the duration of the shortest file (which is always the <code>audio.mp3</code>)</p>
<p><strong>Second question:</strong>
Is it possible to refine that command so <code>video.mp4</code> and <code>music.mp3</code> don't need to be very long but are looped until the end of <code>audio.mp3</code> + 5s?</p>

My approach (with some extras like fading in video and audio volume control):
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -i music.mp3 -vf "fade=t=in:st=0:d=5" -filter_complex
"[1:a]volume=1[audio]; [2:a]volume=0.25[music];
[audio][music]amix=inputs=2[mix]"
-map 0:v -map "[mix]" -c:v h264 -c:a aac -shortest output.mp4

That works but the output is not cut after the the duration of the shortest file (which is always the audio.mp3)
Second question:
Is it possible to refine that command so video.mp4 and music.mp3 don't need to be very long but are looped until the end of audio.mp3 + 5s?

I think I managed to do the audio part at least (after that I combine the audio track with the video):
ffmpeg -f lavfi -t 5 -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=192000 -i file1.mp3 -filter_complex "[1:a][0:a]concat=n=2:v=0:a=1[audio_silence],amovie=file2.mp3:loop=0,asetpts=N/SR/TB,volume=0.1[music];[audio_silence][music]amix=duration=shortest,volume=1" out.mp3

But one thing is not quite as expected: The audio quality go really bad. There is hissing and some higher frequency noice ... i tried some low pass filtering but doesn't seem to help. Any ideas on that topic? I think I'll open another question for that.
