ffmpeg: Unable to find a suitable output format for '–i'

ffmpeg

Solution

Use `-` (hyphen), not `–` (en dash).

- Correct: `-i`

- Incorrect: `–i`

Problem

I am not sure why, but I cannot seem to get a watermark rendered on the bottom right corner of my video using ffmpeg. I am using the following command: ``` $ ffmpeg –i faded.mov -vf "movie=logo2.png [watermark]; [in][watermark] overlay=(main_w-overlay_w-10)/2:(main_h-overlay_h-10)/2 [out]" outputvideo3.mov ... [NULL @ 0x7fa2ec001000] Unable to find a suitable output format for '–i' –i: Invalid argument ```
