ffmpeg trouble concatenating similar but different files

When things go wrong your video is basically unplayable or the first video plays fine and then freezes when moving on to the next.  Generally if both videos weren't produced with the exact 100% same settings you will have issues.  You can try the basic concat but it often won't work right.

Solution for me:

My example uses 3 videos in total so "n=3"  and a=1 to include audio.

ffmpeg -threads 12  -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mp4 -i file3.mp4 -filter_complex concat=n=3:v=1:a=1 $outputfile-final.mp4

=======

ffmpeg -i $intro -i $outputfile -i $outtro \
-filter_complex "[0:v:0] [0:a:0] [1:v:0] [1:a:0] [2:v:0] [2:a:0] concat=n=3:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]" \
-map "[v]" -map "[a]" $outputfile-branded-final.mp4

ffmpeg -i $intro -i uservideoRendered.mp4-branded.mp4 -i $outtro \

frame=16287 fps=1824 q=-1.0 Lsize=  381293kB time=00:22:23.64 bitrate=2324.7kbits/s speed= 150x   
video:369967kB audio:10784kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: 0.142437%

This makes the video about 22 minutes even though it should be about 9!
This is because the main video is CBR audio and the other ones being joined at variable.  To fix they must be constant CBR of 163kbps to match

maybe it's also framerate mode one of them is variable and needs to be constant for the video.
use the -crf flag instead of -r

Frame rate mode                          : Variable


Change FPS to 29.97 or change the "-r 29.97" to whatever frame rate you want
ffmpeg -i 02.mp4 -r 29.97 02-30fps.mp4

#changes to 29.97 fps and sets aac audio to 163kbit constant
