Looks good. Good work on shipping! I love seeing video applications utilizing Web Assembly. However, it usually falls short in when it comes to longer video in the browser's sandboxed environment.

How is the performance? Curious if you've tried using the FFmpeg libraries directly (libav), rather than compiling all of FFMpeg to WASM?

I always end up using running FFmpeg directly since it's faster and more reliable, but I still have some hope for a full functioning browser-based implementation someday.

I also made https://ffmpeg-commander.com a while back to generate commands for FFmpeg.

Yeah you are right about the wasm issues with video apps. The editor itself relies fully on web codecs and the rest of the tools are halfway migrated from ffmpeg wasm anyways. I did not look into any other alternatives for ffmpeg thinking that wasm will give me the next best thing to the cli tool and ofc since the browser is the main delivery mechanism the I was limited in my options. I have seen your project and it is really cool!
