1. This is cool. Have been looking for something like this, having a few production systems that run FFMPEG on command line as part of pipeline. Does this run FFMPEG complied to WASM?
2. Live preview or some kind of "gallery" would enhance the visual exploration. For inserting subtitles, overlays etc with better iteration
3. The demo video being on the border of supporting violent thuggery is the weirdest misuse of such a placement. BigBuckBunny surely would do better (considering it's available in a ton of different formats, framerates, higher quality for further experimentation, too!).
Again with the weirdness, I am not sure this submission should have been accepted though. It's very weird seeing someone post something like this, it's like someone burning themselves to death while shouting TikTok memes. w h y
A BigBuckBunny segment would also suffice. Being able to change the source would solve the problem while keeping the original source material suggestion maintains the political statement intact, as it should be.
ffmpeg -i punch.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]removelogo[vid_out]" -map 0:a -map "[vid_out]" out.mp4
for example, i don't think that fascism or nazism are valid positions, and neither of them deserve the right to be treated as such.
nazi germany started a war with my country, and killed millions of my compatriots. punching a nazi today is doing a favour for the future humanity.
When hiring for a job or a project, managers are going to search for Sam Lavigne and see this. Although depending on the business and project, that might be good or bad.
In short, ffmpeg can be used directly to create a gif:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 large_output.gif
Animated gifs are pretty inefficient as it is so I'm usually happy with the above, and make sure to only restrict to 5-10s max, but there are other programs to try and help reduce the size, like gifsicle [1] and imagemagick [2].

Personally I crop, resize, time-slice, and dump to gif with no other arguments... and then just use gifsicle. Gifsicle is absolutely amazing, both significantly better results and significantly easier.
ffmpeg can make gifs, but I don't know how you would do stuff like static regions. It could probably be done with some masking and filtering, but I think you would need to make the mask separately so why not use a GUI gif editor instead?
Also presumably some who do realize that, and do so, and are.
Or any generally civil person, who likely thinks that using violence to drive your political values makes you worse than your opponent.
The side really doesn´t matter. Especially in a world where people tend to pigeonhole their totem animal enemies to be extremists, which combine in to accepting wanton violence to larger and larger parts of the population who doesn´t fit their specific set of often newly-invented values.
"I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It"
* Adding an audio filter, tremolo, makes the video stream disappear. Then adding a video filter makes it reappear.
* possibility to clear the log?
* What is the dude saying who gets punched in the face? "It's a pepeyes (?), we come kind of a sample" ?!
I don't think people are mad because of what it says about Spencer, they are annoyed because of what it says about the maker.
The politically opposite equivalent would be using a video of, say, black-on-white crime as a test case, or maybe a video mocking George Floyd as a drug addict and celebrating his death-by-fentanyl, and I'm pretty sure that would result in a lot more outrage than this.
Russel conjugation: "I am subverting their silly ideas. You are being confrontational. They are insulting our most deeply held values."
Mass race hysteria, in the middle of a supposedly deadly pandemic, but it was okay because BLM.
Meanwhile these same people said nothing when police executed a man in his own home here in Belgium.
It's all performative bullshit, and anyone cheering this on reveals themselves for the herd animal they are.
If all you can do is flag the opposing argument out of visibility you're admitting to being both cowardly and dumb.
