Sometimes a tool that does one thing well is exactly what you need. How's the performance on longer files? ffmpeg.wasm can get chunky with memory on anything over a few hundred MB.

Yes, exactly why I built this. Works surprisingly well for my use case so far which is cutting ~300MB mov screen recordings down to size and converting them to mp4. That said, converting large videos to GIFs will almost certainly run out of memory.
