What is your goal?
I want to concatenate two or more MP4 files. I have used One drive (get a file)-Tools to get the download URL-HTTP POST video concat in Render.com server-repeater(FFmpeg)-HTTP GET -filter status =200- One drive upload a file
It seems that sometimes FFmpeg normalize step is getting stuck / failing silently, sometimes MAKE is calling the GET even before its complete etc. What is the best approach
What is the problem & what have you tried?

Hey Aleksi,
I usually run ffmpeg asynchronously in pythonanywhere.com. I use Make to feed the files there (or even to only send the URL of the files) and start the process. Then when the process is done, it sends the file to wherever is needed and calls a Make webhook to trigger a secondary scenario. This way you avoid both file size limits and timeout limits in Make.
With Render.com I assume you can do something similar and have a secondary scenario check if the file is done to bypass the time limits in the main scenario when the files are too large and it takes too long to process them.
Have a small scenario sleep for 10 mins and check if the files are done, and if they are not, retrigger it self. Then when the file is done, call a third scenario that handles the rest.
thank you. Let me try this and share you my feedback.
