How to Use FFmpeg on Linux [video]

The algorithm has been suggesting this video to ke for a couple days which is interesting. Having watched it now, I can say it absolutely delivers on the promise of the tumbnail.

It was a pretty good video actually. Gave an overview of the problem, gave a number of pitential solutions, explained succinctly why she'd gone with the solution she had, and then demonstrated it. Took me back to when YouTube didn't have nearly so much pretension too.

Also irrelevant to the video, but my God, the Ubuntu sound she played in the video at one point really took me back. Activated braincells long left dormant. Sound design in an OS is so underappreciated these days I feel.

I've been using ffmpeg as my primary video editor for over a decade now. Most of my edits are just combining or cropping clips or the occasional enhancement. I've done a few large projects like slideshows for funerals and weddings, combining both pictures and video and titles into the slideshow. It's an incredibly powerful tool.

Use ffmpeg frontend mystiq to convert media files into different formats.
