  1. scripts

    personal scripts to make life easier (by dheera)

    I use an LLM to help me with ffmpeg commands: https://github.com/dheera/scripts/blob/master/helpme

        $ helpme ffmpeg capture video from /dev/video0 every 1 second and write to .jpg files like img00000.jpg, img00001.jpg, ...

  3. cheatsheet

    📜 A compendium of CLI commands I can't stop looking up (by fastily)

    Nice! This reminds me of my own ffmpeg cheatsheet; I would imagine that everyone who uses ffmpeg frequently has a similar set of notes

    https://github.com/fastily/cheatsheet/blob/master/ffmpeg.md

  4. quick-reference

    A collection of cheatsheets

  5. Warp

    Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster.

  6. llmterm

    Your friendly local LLM terminal companion

  7. llmpeg

    Uses an llm to generate ffmpeg commands

    In addition to the many others mentioned, here's a script I just threw together that simplifies a lot of these chained commands - llmpeg: https://github.com/jjcm/llmpeg

    If you have ffmpeg installed and an OpenAI env api key set, it should work out of the box.

  8. ffmpy

    Pythonic interface for FFmpeg/FFprobe command line

    Similar, arguably simpler, Python library that provides an interface to FFmpeg command line is ffmpy [0], of which I am the author.

  10. fbed

    Python FFmpeg Batch Encoding Dashboard

    I like this insight, but TUI is something graphical while ffmpeg is just CLI.

    It would be cool to see if a TUI tool existed. Something like https://github.com/Twinklebear/fbed but more feature complete.

  11. ffmpeg-by-example

    Creator of the site here, thanks for your comment.

    The build system randomize an example to showcase on the homepage, I actually find it funny that its different example every time.

    Regarding the upvote system. This is a static documentation website. I have created a crazy unique solution to have upvotes working but the website had literally zero traffic in years, so I guess that wasn't the most important feature to focus on.

    Sorry to disappoint, I'm doing it completely voluntary - happy to get any help here: https://github.com/eladg/ffmpeg-by-example

  12. gum

    A tool for glamorous shell scripts 🎀

    needs gum from https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum;

  13. ffmprovisr

    Repository of useful FFmpeg commands for archivists!

    The AMIA has a resource for this as well at https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/

    It's not a great name and not very discoverable, but there's a lot of very useful ffmpeg-by-example snippets there with illustrated result examples.
