This is a weird request, but does anyone have something for me to encode with FFmpeg? The more complicated the project, the better. I am trying to improve my skills and I learn best with real-world use.

@prologic There isn't a whole lot I could do with those, besides trying to beat your server's transcodes in visual quality for the size. It wouldn't be much of an accomplishment, anyway, because I'm sure you don't want your server's CPU tied up for 20 minutes every upload.

I could always use practice optimizing for quality given a set of restraints but I would like a bigger project that requires combining a bunch of options and filters.

@mckinley Hm, I had a lot of fun with ffmpeg while doing the video of the workflow compilation:

https://nixers.net/Thread-Workflow-Compilation-June-Events-2021

Rescaling the individual videos, fading, adding the background (for smaller videos), adding labels, … Granted, there was quite a bit of ImageMagick, too.

@movq I used to be intimidated by FFmpeg, but since I've been digging deeper into the options I'm having a lot of fun.
