Aaand it's minimally working, so: https://ffmpeg.app is now live!

Use FFmpeg recipes without fiddling with the command line!

Consider this an early beta. There's still a ton missing:

- Ability to tweak the command line (i.e. hand editing, or selectors)
- Proper mobile styles
- About, disclaimers, etc
- Many more command recipes
- Better accessibility
- "Bug fixes and performance improvements"

But, it's doing the thing!

#ffmpeg #video

FFmpeg.app

A website where you can search for and perform video and audio conversions, right on your browser.

@zeh nice work! i've thought about some kind of playground/"REPL" for ffmpeg but have few ideas how it would actually work

@wader My hope is that this becomes a bit like that. I've always wanted something of the sort, hence this project.

It's just a start, but once there's more recipes, some selection, editing commands, previews, that sort of stuff, it can be that.

@zeh me too! i've experiment with using ffmpeg in jupyter notebook https://fosstodon.org/@wader/110231082376932569 but would be great with something that could play video, maybe "link" output(s) to next command, understand the cli syntax and filter graph syntax... dreaming on here :)

@wader It's not super graph-y, but the way I'm building the command-line definitions, I hope it'll be easy to turn stuff on and off, and select from templates, so one can build some mini-programs-ish things that can take a bunch of options and output a video/audio based on a common task.

Not very obvious now, but once there's optional stuff, predefined selections, etc, should make more sense: https://github.com/zeh/ffmpeg.app/blob/c491a3b7c419f98d915cfadcb910979025ca87b1/src/utils/commands/commands.json

@zeh aha your thinking show the command line but for example codec could be a select box etc? yeap that would be nice to make it easer to explore options
@wader Yeah. The command lines would still be very specific recipes (I am trying to avoid forcing people to "think" too much - otherwise we're just back to a command line; I want the tool to be useful for non-experts) but to give them options to tweak what they have, if they want to.
@zeh Yes I think that makes sense, probably just confusing to show or use graph terminology for most users. One think i've thought about is if it would be possible to visualize the relation between input/output/map/format/codec somehow
