scottvr / wtffmpeg
A minimal character terminal (console) REPL UI for controlling ffmpeg via natural language descriptions of input files and the desired outcome, powered by local or remote LLM. Shell-style history with arrow keys support, !subshell support, /slash REPL op commands, run-time, env, and cli configuration.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
