I built an IDE for Video Engineers
I've worked in video engineering for the greater part of my career and one thing in common amongst many colleagues are the set of tools we use. ffmpeg , mp4box , gpac , bento4 , ffprobe , mediainfo to name a few. Most of them are open source, some are commercial and some are web or desktop based. Some of them are scripts on top of these tools, and sometimes with text files with saved commands.

Why hasn't anyone built this yet? What if we had a way to consolidate this type of workflow and tooling into a desktop application in the same respect Postman has for Web API developers? Or how JetBrains has for code? That's why I made Video Commander . The idea was simple: a familiar UI that wraps the tools we already know, a toolkit for video engineers that you can easily reach for when you need to inspect, encode, analyze
