FWIW, ffworks (about $20) provides just that, a UI where you can adjust all the knobs and then (optionally) view the resultant script. You can also make droplets with it, so if you have repetitive, specific and/or temporary workflows it’s very nice to have.
Tangentially, as a related example, the free MKV Toolnix suite has a well designed GUI that also provides commadline snippets ( for windows and *nix ) for any jobs you create.
While not as complex as the full FFmpeg CLI options, the MKVToolnix suite has a large option set and having the GUI create usable CLI snippets is very handy for setting up large batch jobs on hundreds and thousands of AV files.
Loving ffworks, been using it for many years.
Probably due to the binary not being Notarized or something of that affect. Here’s how to remove it:
`sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $BINARY_NAME`
I know you are not telling people to run it, but probably running an unsigned, unnotarized binary from a random person (with 14 HN karma) is not a good idea.
Signed or unsigned, the only real difference is did they pay Apple $100
Just paid the 100$ and got it notarized. Still, you're downloading software from a total stranger :p .
There is a difference though. Apple does at least some amount of malware scanning during notarizarion and they have your credit card/some personalia on file, which means that they can go after you.
I know, stolen credit cards, etc. But at least it’s something (App Store would be better due to sandboxing).
If it’s from the App Store, it’s at least required to be sandboxed.
I wanted to see if you offer an option to save the cmdline equivalent so I can use the UI to test drive, and then save a script to re-run in command shells
