Typed-FFmpeg 3.0–Typed Interface to FFmpeg and Visual Filter Editor
Hi HN, I built typed-ffmpeg, a Python package that lets you build FFmpeg filter graphs with full type safety, autocomplete, and validation. It’s inspired by ffmpeg-python, but addresses some long-standing issues like lack of IDE support and fragile CLI strings. What’s New in v3.0: • Source filter support (e.g. color, testsrc, etc.) • Input stream selection (e.g. [0:a], [1:v]) • A new interactive playground where you can: • Build filter graphs visually • Generate both FFmpeg CLI and typed Python code • Paste existing FFmpeg commands and reverse-parse them into graphs Playground link:…
Typed-FFmpeg 3.0–Typed Interface to FFmpeg and Visual Filter Editor launched on May 29, 2025 with 342 votes, #73 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Typed-FFmpeg is a Python package that builds FFmpeg filter graphs with type safety, autocomplete, and IDE support. It replaces fragile CLI strings with typed code, addressing limitations of ffmpeg-python. Version 3.0 adds source filter support, input stream selection, and an interactive browser-based playground where users can visually construct filter graphs, generate Python code, or convert existing FFmpeg commands back into typed graphs. The tool is open source and useful for developers building video processing applications.

Ez FFmpeg – Video editing in plain EnglishDec 2025 · npmjs.com · ▲420I built a CLI tool that lets you do common video/audio operations without remembering ffmpeg syntax. Instead of: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos" -loop 0 output.gif You write: ff convert video.mp4 to gif More examples: ff compress video.mp4 to 10mb ff trim video.mp4 from 0:30 to 1:00 ff extract audio from video.mp4 ff resize video.mp4 to 720p ff speed up video.mp4 by 2x ff reverse video.mp4 There are similar tools that use LLMs (wtffmpeg, llmpeg, ai-ffmpeg-cli), but they require API keys, cost money, and have latency. Ez FFmpeg is different: - No AI – just…

I found that I am using ChatGPT more and more to get the FFmpeg command I need, but the process can be a bit tedious: copy-pasting commands, dealing with input file names and locations, making sure the prompt contains enough info about the input files. This site attempts to solve that. You just describe what you want to do, pick the input files and an LLM (currently DeepSeek) generates the FFmpeg command. You can then run it directly in your browser or use the command elsewhere.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
