ITT: people who don't realize that when you become the apologist for white nationalist racist fascists, you identify yourself with them as and as one.<p>Also presumably some who do realize that, and do so, and are.
This has to be the weirdest submission I've seen here, but I'll pick the raisins off the cake:<p>1. This is cool. Have been looking for something like this, having a few production systems that run FFMPEG on command line as part of pipeline. Does this run FFMPEG complied to WASM?<p>2. Live preview or some kind of "gallery" would enhance the visual exploration. For inserting subtitles, overlays etc with better iteration<p>3. The demo video being on the border of supporting violent thuggery is the weirdest misuse of such a placement. BigBuckBunny surely would do better (considering it's available in a ton of different formats, framerates, higher quality for further experimentation, too!).<p>Again with the weirdness, I am not sure this submission should have been accepted though. It's very weird seeing someone post something like this, it's like someone burning themselves to death while shouting TikTok memes. w h y
Cool. Potentially very usable and useful tool. Woudl be cool to have local version not constrained by wasm speed. UI is simple enough that it could have been pure c with imGui rendered in browser, but with option as native executable.
Not wanting to dogpile the demo video content, but there's an open issue:<p><a href="https://github.com/antiboredom/ffmpeg-explorer/issues/3">https://github.com/antiboredom/ffmpeg-explorer/issues/3</a>
It's quite an achievement to:<p>1. Post one of the most useful ffmpeg utility I've seen on to HN<p>2. Hit the front page<p>3. Get it flagged due to nazi flamewars.
* Clicking on the [a] ---- [a] (which is the audio stream, I assume) and pressing "Del" does not delete it.<p>* Adding an audio filter, tremolo, makes the video stream disappear. Then adding a video filter makes it reappear.<p>* possibility to clear the log?<p>* What is the dude saying who gets punched in the face? "It's a pepeyes (?), we come kind of a sample" ?!
I too like my hacking projects with a bit of violence on the side. Nothing gets the nerd in me going better than someone getting assaulted on the street. Especially if there's a political connection -- oh man I'm feeling so productive already!
Since there may be people in the know ... Is ffmpeg an appropriate tool to make gifs? Or are there more appropriate tools? (to designate static regions in a scene for instance )
This is a wonderful tool! If the author sees this, please note that the demo video is causing a lot of distraction (in this thread) from your brilliant creation.
I see people on Mastodon gleefully sharing this, saying it's the "new Lenna", and mocking the people in this thread who are "upset".<p>I don't think people are mad because of what it says about Spencer, they are annoyed because of what it says about the maker.<p>The politically opposite equivalent would be using a video of, say, black-on-white crime as a test case, or maybe a video mocking George Floyd as a drug addict and celebrating his death-by-fentanyl, and I'm pretty sure that would result in a lot more outrage than this.<p>Russel conjugation: "I am subverting their silly ideas. You are being confrontational. They are insulting our most deeply held values."
