However, before proceeding, I need to clarify a few things:
ffmpeg -i hells_kitchen_russia.mkv -filter_complex "[0:v]crop=1920:800:0:200, eq=contrast=1.5:brightness=-0.1[v];[0:a]volume=2.0[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset ultrafast -c:a aac -b:a 192k russian_hell_output.mp4

Syncing the Drama On the Russian set, timing is everything. Audio from the chefs' lapel mics must perfectly match the visual of a plate hitting the floor.
