Make Timelapse easily using FFmpeg
I found https://github.com/mifi/editly to be an intuitive frontend for this type of task - I used it to create a montage of several clips and was able to easily adjust parameters around timestamps and such to get the montage perfect

FFmpeg Lands CLI Multi-Threading as Its "Most Complex Refactoring" in Decades
Sounds like you already have a process for most of this, but I found https://github.com/mifi/editly to be incredibly helpful to run ffmpeg and make my little time lapse video. Could be useful for others

What are the pros and cons of declarative state vs. chainable APIs?
For example, this declarative video editor lib has JSON configurations for defining an output video:

Create a video from images
Maybe this tool helps: https://github.com/mifi/editly

Rendering a video like THPS2 🛹
You seem to misunderstand what ffmpeg is for - namely the stream conversion of media. Only limited filters are available. You can write your own shaders and use cli tools like https://github.com/mifi/editly for automation surely

In praise of ffmpeg
I used Editly to make a clip of several videos with transitions and screenshots. It worked out great with me just editing the json5 file to tweak things

Plugin that creates a single video from multiple videos based on tags.

What video editing software you use ?
It's intended to work nicely with Editly, a CLI-based https://github.com/mifi/editly
-
Drawtext -- add filename of each input file to each frame?
The way I would do it would be using MoviePy (for Python). You may also have luck with editly (JavaScript). MoviePy has functions to create a TextClip, Images and overlays. It sure is possibly with ffmpeg filters - transparency mixing filters etc. yet you'd get faster results with modules like MoviePy / editly.

Show HN: FFmpeg WebCLI – Full FFmpeg in Browser, Offline PWA, No Uploads(WASM)
this might be an extremely stupid question, but is this just a demo project of https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm? or is this bringing forth some other utility that im not seeing?

I Stopped Paying for Subtitle Services After Running Whisper in a Browser Tab
Audio extraction. The video's audio track is separated using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. No server round-trip; the demuxing happens in your browser's memory.

Building a Privacy-First Video to Audio Converter with FFmpeg.wasm
FFmpeg is the Swiss Army knife of video/audio processing. FFmpeg.wasm brings that power to the browser using WebAssembly.

How I Built a Client-Side Audio Toolkit (No Server Uploads)
FFmpeg.wasm is a WebAssembly port of FFmpeg that runs entirely in the browser. This means you can perform complex audio/video processing without server-side code.

Show HN: OnlyJPG – Client-Side PNG/HEIC/AVIF/PDF/etc. to JPG
I have been running this for at least a year, it works great. I have it converting video to raw pixel data that I use to extract pixel color data for use in my web application.

Doesn't all the web-related ffmpeg stuff boil down to https://ffmpegwasm.netlify.app ?

Show HN: FFmpeg in plain English – LLM-assisted FFmpeg in the browser
Great work on this - I made a terminal command similar to this (llmpeg), and was actively trying to get exactly this working - a webasm compiled version of ffmpeg that could encode in the browser. I for the life of me couldn't get the provided examples on https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm to run.
Just for my own development curiosity, was there anything specific you had to do to get ffmpegwasm to work?
- Open source and self hostable/private file converter
