"Writing working commands first try for every single ffmpeg feature that exists" is the highest bar I've ever heard of, I love it. I'm gonna start listing it as a requirement on job postings. Like an ffmpeg speedrun.

I don't think there's a single human on or outside of this planet that can meet that requirement, but Claude has been pretty good to me. It's certainly a much better starting point than pouring over docs and SO posts.

    In my experience you still get a lot of stuff that used to work or stuff that it just makes up.

I know I struggled on getting a good command to “simply” make the videos from my Z8 smaller (in file size).

Usually the color was wrong and I don’t care enough to learn about colorspaces to figure out how to fix it and it’s utterly insane how difficult it is even with LLMs.

Just reencode it as is but a little more lossy. Is that so hard?

This doesnt exist in reality so in one sense, you could challenge the relevance

    I think in the non LLM world though you at least have the trail of documentation you can unwind once you're in a bind. I don't care for prompt-a-mole fighting.
