Video Commander

What it does

The IDE for video engineers. Consolidates FFmpeg, ffprobe, MediaInfo, and more into a desktop workspace — project sidebar, tabbed files, jobs queue for long-running tasks. Inspect, convert, analyze, and validate local or remote media without juggling terminal windows.

The IDE for video engineers. Inspect, transcode, package, and validate media in one desktop app. Free for personal use.

Inspect, transcode, package, validate, and QC media in one desktop app instead of a dozen terminal windows. Built by an engineer who spent 10 years shipping streaming at NBCUniversal and Sky UK. Built on FFmpeg. Runs entirely on your machine, with no account required · Featured on Product Hunt Seven integrated tools that cover the full professional video workflow, from first inspection to final delivery. Open a local file, a URL, or an object in S3 and the container comes apart: tracks, codecs, box hierarchy, and frame-level sample tables. Remote sources are read over HTTP range requests, so you pull only the bytes the parser needs. The tabs follow the file. Media info, the box tree with a…from video-commander.com

  I completed shipping my desktop app2025 · pimosa.app · ▲526

  Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

  Video editor app that generates FFmpeg commands2024 · newbeelearn.com · ▲147

  Hello Friends, I have built a new video editor app that generates ffmpeg commands to get the edited video. This gives you flexibility to use it in scripts etc. for your video editing workflows and makes editing tasks smooth by letting you visually adjust video elements that are difficult to adjust in commandline. Demo is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSvazNBEfTc Link is here - https://newbeelearn.com/tools/videoeditor/ Features are - video, image, text editing - adjustable timeline and layers - adjust position, size , alignment, font size…

  FFmpeg Pages – because I was tired of fighting FFmpeg2025 · ffmpegs.pages.dev · ▲62

  You ever just want to shrink a video… and suddenly you’re buried in flags, half-broken StackOverflow answers, and 10 tabs open just to figure out one command? That’s been me. Every. Single. Time. So I built FFmpeg Pages — a dead-simple collection of the commands I kept searching for. No fluff, no digging, just the stuff that actually works.

  FFmpeg in plain English – LLM-assisted FFmpeg in the browser2025 · vidmix.app · ▲179

  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.

  VidStudio, a browser based video editor that doesn't upload your filesApr 2026 · vidstudio.app · ▲301

  Hi HN, I built VidStudio, a privacy focused video editor that runs in the browser. I tried to keep it as frictionless as possible, so there are no accounts and no uploads. Everything is persisted on your machine. Some of the features: multi-track timeline, frame accurate seek, MP4 export, audio, video, image, and text tracks, and a WebGL backed canvas where available. It also works on mobile. Under the hood, WebCodecs handles frame decode for timeline playback and scrubbing, which is what makes seeking responsive since decode runs on the hardware decoder when the browser supports it. FFmpeg…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi 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…

  Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
