Toolbox: Run FFmpeg, Imagemagick, 7Zip and Friends in the Browser▲5
I got sick of sketchy online converter sites that phone home and may keep your files and walking non-technical friends through brew/apt/choco installs every time they need ffmpeg or imagemagick and telling them what command to run. So I built Toolbox, a 100% open source site that compiles my most-used command-line tools to WebAssembly and runs them fully client-side: - FFmpeg (video + audio) - ExifTool (metadata) - 7-Zip (archive/zip/rar/7z) - ImageMagick - Pandoc Roadmap: - Batch mode - Shareable presets. Complex commands can be saved as URLs so you can send a…

FreeMotion – Browser-based Remotion editor with site scraping record▲8

I built FreeMotion (https://freemotion.dev) to move this entire workflow into the browser. It is a free, online editor specifically designed to close the loop between "Prompting" and "Rendering".

Turn any topic into a 3Blue1Brown-style video▲5
Hey HN! I built Topic2Manim to automate the creation of educational videos like those from 3Blue1Brown. The workflow is simple: 1. Give it any topic (e.g., "how ChatGPT works") 2. An LLM generates an educational script divided into scenes 3. LLM generates Manim code for each scene 4. FFmpeg concatenates everything into a final video Currently working on TTS integration for narration! Would love feedback on the approach and ideas for the TTS integration
