  • help-cli

    Use ChatGPT to generate CLI commands

  • Very useful!

    I started using chatgpt to come up with ffmpeg commands, just so much faster and easier to find what I need.

    I made a small tool so I can do it right in the cli: https://github.com/alexkrkn/help-cli

    and made a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOda6TDBqcY

  • VapourSynth-Bwdif

    Bwdif filter for VapourSynth

  • There is an extension of that: https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynthEvolution/VapourSynth-Bw...

    Though if you are reencoding, you mind as well go whole hog and use QTGMC.

  • staxrip

    🎞 Video encoding GUI for Windows.

  • Since ffmpeg CLI still makes me pull ny hair out, I am going to plug vapoursynth:

    https://www.vapoursynth.com/

    Its Pythonic video filters... But also so much more: https://vsdb.top/

    And Staxrip, which makes such good use of ffmpeg, vapoursynth, and dozens of other encoders and tools that I reboot from linux to Windows just to use it: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

  • gifski

    GIF encoder based on libimagequant (pngquant). Squeezes maximum possible quality from the awful GIF format. (by ImageOptim)

  • You can do that with ffmpeg, but the output isn't ideal

    I'd use gifski: https://gif.ski/
