back when computers were hard, tips like this were gold. but these days, for for a well trod/documented thing like ffmpeg, asking ChatGPT to make the ffmpeg command you want works really well, eg "give me ffmpeg to make a video from a series of jpegs" and iterate from there.


Please don't let this line of thinking put you (the reader) off sharing tips. Here we now have a thread containing other information we may not have thought to ask anyone/thing about, discussion, history, etc.


besides, chatgpt can only do that because of tips like this...


teach to fish vs giving of fish, I suppose. I did not mean to discourage or stifle discussion, but point out that there's a tool that makes it much easier to get the right incantation of ffmpeg.
