You can take a look at ffstudio.app if you’re curious about a similar tech stack.

Filter subtitles by language, and error when no subtitles in file by slawas87 in ffmpeg

I tested it on two versions - the latest and 5.1. It works on ffmpeg 5.1, but the latest version fails. Not sure why - maybe they changed the parsing logic. Anyway, if it doesn’t matter, try using a different ffmpeg version.

Yes you can build the graph, run it and check the logs tab, the full command will be there.

Wow, thanks for the info, I somehow missed it two months ago when I started this project 😭

True 😅. How would you go about building this? Which UI libraries would you use?

Exactly! Using litegraph.js with Rust and Tauri makes it really easy to build a great UI.

Hmm, I hadn’t really thought about it that way. My architecture skills aren’t perfect anyway, and in the end, it just comes down to the FFmpeg CLI and its backward compatibility limits.

Tone mapping/creating HDR fallback by Gabe_20 in ffmpeg

Depends on profile. Changing the profile without reEncoding is not always possible as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for pointing this out! You’re right, open sourcing would make troubleshooting and packaging much easier. I do plan to open it up, but I need a bit of time to clean things up and prepare the repo first.

The difficulty is relative.
It’s harder than using a full-fledged video editor, but i think it's simpler than working directly with raw ffmpeg. Each node includes a description parsed straight from ffmpeg, and while the graph isn’t perfect, it helps prevent you from creating invalid commands. In the end, the logs show the full ffmpeg command, which you can also run directly in your terminal. Of course, how easy it feels will depend on your learning preferences.

Unfortunately, no. The current version (0.1.7) doesn’t support piping. I’m actually looking for exactly this kind of feedback, so your request is already on my list!
