About
I was tired of having to remember and recite a long FFmpeg incantation just to cut down a screen recording and compress it to a decently small size so I could share it in a chat. This command-line tool acts as a simpler, opinionated interface to FFmpeg, outputting a VP9-encoded WebM video with a user-set duration.
For dead simple trimming and sharing of a short clip from a video, Trimshare just works. Compared to a video editor like Pitivi:
- Trimshare runs faster
- the video it outputs is smaller
- …yet still has less compression artifacting
