I’m glad someone took the initiative. I had been thinking the same thing, and was similarly worried. FFMPEG is code for the Internet.
I’d still love to find a handful of hobbyists who want to work an MCP for command line tooling with FFMPEG. I’ve mentioned this before. It will help a lot of users manage the difficulties of filters, complex graphs, and optimizations. I’ve been in LLMs and AI for a decade. I figure the project takes about 150 hours to do really well, and really stable, so maybe six to nine months with two to three people at a leisurely pace. I’d be happy to lead the working group and do the majority of the software engineering. I just need to see there is activity and interest to know the personal investment is not professionally fruitless. It will help a lot of people, and be a great open source product. That much is certain. David Bernat, Ph. D. Property of Starlight LLC.
