I'm aware of a person who started a "startup" and made a revolutionary new way to resize and manipulate images server side.
The whole thing was a simple PHP script invoking imagemagick. They made it available over an API.
Sold it to eBay for more than $1M.

Building a good UI is not to be sneezed at- it's a lot of very important work to get a user experience that isn't a dreadful series of checkboxes with limited choice.
I haven't downloaded this so I can't tell if he has succeeded, but charging for a good user experience on top of a open-source library is a pretty classic thing.

I doubt that people who are capable of using ffmpeg are the target group here.
