Title: FFMPEG Convert video from while adding left/right bars with a specific color
UserDisplayName: Kevin
ThreadText: # FFMPEG Convert video from while adding left/right bars with a specific color
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-21)
  
  I've gotten a bit stuck on a manipulation that I am trying to do.
  
  I have a 1920×1080 video.
  
  I'd like to resize it to 1920×886, while keeping its aspect ratio, so it should add bars to the left and right. I'd like to specify the HEX color code of the side bars (`#CFD3DA`).
  
  I've combined several answers to compose the following command, but it is unfortunately broken:
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1920:886:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:886:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:#CFD3DA@1,setsar=1 output.mp4
  
  ```
