Project mention: What You Need to Know Before Touching a Video File | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-02
You might want to note that MPV plugins can actually do cuts and crops for you (+ whatever ffmpeg filters you want), something that would generally require the hassle of opening editing software. And those cuts can be done in h264 lossless (for additional processing later at no additional quality loss from this step).
https://github.com/occivink/mpv-scripts
There is also a way to losslessly cut preserving the original encoding but you give up the precision of the cuts due to keyframes. The MPV script can do that too: script-opts/encode_slice.conf
You can also create a useful script for stabilizing a shaky video (with h264 lossless if desired) and then optionally crop and cut it with the MPV plugins above. You can get good ffmpeg args (for vidstabdetect & vidstabtransform) for doing that from the reddit stabbot source: https://gitlab.com/juergens/stabbot/blob/master/src/stabVid....

mpv-open-file-dialog
A script for mpv that can launch a regular Windows open file dialog from a key binding
-
An interesting article, but it seems like quite an oversight to not even mention dithering techniques, which in my opinion give much better results.
I've done some development work in Pico-8, and some time ago I wrote a plugin for the Aseprite pixel art editor to convert an arbitrary image into the Pico-8 palette using Floyd-Steinberg dithering[0]
I ran their example image through it, and personally I think the results it gives were the best of the bunch https://imgur.com/a/O6YN8S2
