I want to love ffmpeg but I honestly can't stand that I have to spend ~15 minutes looking for the magical incantation to get the result I want. After I find it, it works quickly and has good results. However, it really feels like video editing isn't something that should be done on the command line. Does anyone know of decent GUI frontends to ffmpeg?

Woah, it's cross platform and has Linux support?! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, it sadly requires `sudo` but only tells me it's for `/usr/bin/env`. Not that I'm security paranoid or anything but I'm afraid it'll bork my system by overwriting random things on my filesystem with root stuff. Gonna have to pass, sadly.

Surely this remarkable tool has a command or filter to fit videos within a specified area, whether it be zoom, pan, shortest height, and the like
Is it also possible to undo a stack video ?

If you want to do fun things with ffmpeg as a cli, most roads end at filter_complex[0]. You can get some truly impressive results at the cost of maintaining really intricate commands. There's also added value when onboarding a new teammate and seeing their eyes open when they find some of the commands you maintain... Once you grok filter_complex, it becomes a lot easier to understand how people get very complex resul…
I did some work on making CTF-style challenge videos using filter_complex to try to get folks to play around with using ffmpeg filters in scripts. I barely scratched the surface but it ended up being a lot of fun.
A lot of people are producing virtual choir videos right now, but I suspect few use a process similar to mine. I use Audacity to edit the audio separately, then crop the input videos using a face-aware cropping script (which uses https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition), then generate a video grid using ffmpeg + xgrid.

Just run the installer in the terminal as `./DaVinci_Resolve_16.2.7_Linux.run --nonroot`.

As "intricate" as some -filter_complex commands may be, it's still readable. Spending 2 hours reading and testing out commands should be all you need to master it. I've been using many CLI tools for all kind of purpose and I think it cannot be stressed how well design the whole ffmpeg program is. I even made a whole music video montage out of it.
