Video editing on the command line aka. what happens when you ask a programmer to edit your video
summary
Shows how to use ffmpeg to automate real edits: turn an image into a five‑second video with ffmpeg -loop 1 -t 5, encode with x265 HEVC, remove dead sections by exporting ranges with -ss and -t and stitch them with the complex concat filter and -map workflow (plus -r to fix frame rate). Demonstrations include batch compressing choir WAVs, blurring a lower‑left logo across many clips, and producing a GIF for LinkedIn — all working end to end.
