@hyalinesystems @madskjeldgaard this & the sox tutorial are both so fantastic! excellent work, thank you.

@hyalinesystems @madskjeldgaard your old SoX tutorial was a constant reference point for me, and these are even better

@hyalinesystems @madskjeldgaard This is a great guide & very useful! 🙏

Since you asked for potential contribution ideas: I wrote this little script last year and been using it a bunch to create videos of slide decks (for trailers/teasers etc.). Together with this following command to extract thumbnails from a video (as a pre-processing step), you can also use this to create short/time-compressed overview videos of the x-faded thumbs:

`ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf crop=480:480,scale=200:-1,fps=0.01 thumb-%04d.png`

The tool is written in TypeScript (because I didn't want to fight with Bash), but shouldn't be too hard to port (if you're interested):
