 I created a Unix shell script to do a **side-by-side comparison** between videos recorded with my two action cameras: a new **SJCAM 8 Pro** and the old **Xiaomi Yi**.
+Suppose that we have two videos taken simultaneously with the two cameras:
 {{.:ffmpeg:video1.jpg?320|}}
 {{.:ffmpeg:video2.jpg?320|}}
-The result is a video like the following: the **central part** of each video is stacked horizontally on the final video, two **labels are overlayed** on the bottom corners, the **audio** from the first video is mixed into the **left channel** of the resulting video and the audio from the second video goes to the **right channel**.
+The result will be a video like the following: the **central part** of each video is stacked horizontally on the final frame, two **labels are overlayed** on the bottom corners, the **audio** from the first video is mixed into the **left channel** of the resulting video and the audio from the second video goes to the **right channel**.

 The script can take into account that the videos may be **out of sync**: it is possible to pass **two timestamps** referring at the same instant captured into both videos. The script will **shift the videos presentation time** each-other, so that both will be synced.

+#!/bin/bash
+# Take the central part of two videos and stack them horizontally.
+# Audio from the first video is merged into the left channel of the
+# resulting video, audio from the second video goes to the right.
