ffmpeg subtitles filter input pad error
What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to make this work for a couple of hours now. I know it has something to do with the subtitles filter but couldn't figure it out.
If I run a sample command, such as the one below, it works just fine:
ffmpeg -y -i 5e47a1be4df117b7f79596dda7987c45.mp4 -filter_complex "subtitles=intro.ass:fontsdir=../../preview/fonts[subtitle];[0:v][subtitle]overlay" test.mp4
intro.ass content below

Solution 1:
The subtitles filter overlays ("burns") the subtitles itself - no need to overlay its output onto the video. So, it needs a video stream as input.
Your filtergraph should end as follows,
[video][scaledCoverPhoto]overlay=:x=w/2:y=(H-h)/2:enable='between(t,4,21)',subtitles=intro.ass:fontsdir=../../preview/fonts,format=yuv420p,scale=-2:494
