the confirm screen showing the actual command is lowkey the best part. i use ffmpeg daily for video assembly (concat demuxer + xfade + zoompan for ken burns) and honestly the only reason i got decent at it was reading the commands that other wrappers were generating under the hood. most ffmpeg GUIs hide that from you which defeats the purpose IMO - you end up dependent on the tool forever instead of actually learning the flags

Right - the confirm screen isn't just a safety check — it's the feature. Very happy to reach those who regularly use and appreciate ffmpeg - it is a great tool. Glad fftool is of use to you.
