How can I run the command below recursively on all directories and sub-directories within?

[someone@someones-pc ~]$ for i in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -i watermark.png -filter_complex "overlay=1623:25" /output/directory/"${i%.*}.mp4"; done

Right now the above command will only search for all .mp4's within the chosen directory and run the command(s) on them, however if I have another directory or deeper sub-directories containing more .mp4's this will not find them. How can I alter this command to run on other .mp4's that are also in other sub-directories and possibly even deeper within?

EDIT: (found this here on stackexchange)

How can this script be edited to work with my FFmpeg command above?

#!/bin/bash



WM=$HOME/public_html/image/catalog/logo-website/watermark.png  # This is the path to your watermark image

SCALE=100                          # This sets the scale % of your watermark image

STARTDIR="/home/whatever/images"   # This is the directory to start in



for imagedir in $( find $STARTDIR -type d )

do

  echo "Running in $imagedir ..."

  cd $imagedir

  file -i * | grep image | awk -F':' '{ print $1 }' | while read IMAGE

  do

    echo "Watermarking $IMAGE"

    composite -dissolve 40% -gravity SouthEast -quality 100 ( $WM -resize $SCALE% ) "$IMAGE" "$IMAGE"

  done

done

UPDATE:

I am not saying this has to be a "find" command, I was was referring to my "ffmpeg" command when I asked how can this script be edited to work with my command, not the find command. Duh. All I care about is running my ffmpeg command on my files recursively.

NOT A DUPLICATE QUESTION BECAUSE:

I believe my question is not a duplicate because of how impossible it is to find an answer to my question on StackExchange. My question is targeted more clearly to new Linux learners and will be found much better to new and average people trying to learn. If you look at the so-called duplicate question title below, its not something any new or even average Linux user would be searching for. Also it says nothing about running commands recursively on files within directories and sub-directories, and that is something the less advanced would be asking. I believe my question is helpful to new learners of this community.
