I got tired of spending 20 minutes Googling ffmpeg syntax every time I needed to process a video. So I built aiclip - an AI-powered CLI that translates plain English into perfect ffmpeg commands.

Instead of this: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:720" -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -b:v 2000k output.mp4

Just say this: aiclip "resize video.mp4 to 720p with good quality"

Key features: - Safety first: Preview every command before execution - Smart defaults: Sensible codec and quality settings - Context aware: Scans your directory for input files - Interactive mode: Iterate on commands naturally - Well-tested: 87%+ test coverage with comprehensive error handling

What it can do: - Convert video formats (mov to mp4, etc.) - Resize and compress videos - Extract audio from videos - Trim and cut video segments - Create thumbnails and extract frames - Add watermarks and overlays

Install: pip install ai-ffmpeg-cli

I'd love feedback on the UX and any features you'd find useful. What video processing tasks do you find most frustrating?
