Show HN: WebAssembly and ffmpeg = Quick clip, overlay, resize and GIF-ize videos

I have managed to try it now, and indeed it is almost perfect for my use case : Often I find videos on youtube for example which I want to show snippet to someone or save it. So I download it easily with youtube-dl but then clipping is never really easy (especially on linux).

To improve the tool it would be nice to play the part clipped with the sound to check if it's ok. Also the tool failed to load one video.

Good job !

Hey, this feedback is great! And it isn't even too difficult to add - we have live clipped playback in our main app.

When it failed to load the video, did it show a convert option that failed to load it as well? I think there are some limitations to the ffmpeg.wasm compile. Do you know the extension, or any details of the codecs, etc?

If you send me an e-mail (andrew@<domain in link>), I can dig in a bit more and let you know when I add it :)
