built a CLI tool that lets you do common video/audio operations without remembering ffmpeg syntax.

Instead of:\nffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos" -loop 0 output.gif

You write:\n ff convert video.mp4 to gif

More examples:\n ff compress video.mp4 to 10mb\n ff trim video.mp4 from 0:30 to 1:00\n ff extract audio from video.mp4\n ff resize video.mp4 to 720p\n ff speed up video.mp4 by 2x\n ff reverse video.mp4

There are similar tools that use LLMs (wtffmpeg, llmpeg, ai-ffmpeg-cli), but they require API keys, cost money, and have latency.

Ez FFmpeg is different:\n - No AI – just regex pattern matching\n - Instant – no API calls\n - Free – no tokens\n - Offline – works without internet

It handles ~20 common operations that cover 90% of what developers actually do with ffmpeg. For edge cases, you still need ffmpeg directly.

Interactive mode (just type ff) shows media files in your current folder with typeahead search.
