If the project&#x27;s repository is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;videolang&#x2F;video">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;videolang&#x2F;video</a> , then the last commit was 5 years ago.<p>&gt; You can find the documentation for the current stable version of Video on the Racket docs website.<p>The link resolves to &quot;Page not found&quot; for me, same for the versions listed below: 0.2, 0.1. The link to 0.0 [1] works - but the page describes it as the oldest version.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.racket-lang.org&#x2F;video&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.racket-lang.org&#x2F;video&#x2F;index.html</a>

&gt; This is a highly unstable and experimental DSL for editing videos. Do not use this library as core parts of it are still being written.<p>From docs v0.0 link. Not terribly informative, but it’s a start.<p>Edit: oh, someone found an archive of 0.2 docs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=41106319">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=41106319</a>

I’ve seen a talk about this at BOB conference at Berlin some years ago. I learned a lot about DSLs in scheme, also the talk was highly entertaining. I’d recommend it for anyone into scheme or lisp.

Unfortunately not updated anymore, but in essence it was just an interface to ffmpeg options. So either create pre-defined script modules for all your ffmpeg tasks, or video language scripts. Practically it doesn&#x27;t really matter, but I think I&#x27;d go for simple scripting modules out of familiarity.

Cool! I am the maintainer of a project that does very similar things. Maybe this is relevant for people trying to compose videos in JS or TS. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;redotvideo&#x2F;revideo">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;redotvideo&#x2F;revideo</a><p>It&#x27;s based on the browser canvas and allows for instant preview of compositions. We recently rebuilt our renderer on top of the web-codecs API which makes it super fast. Would love some feedback!

I have been using around 2010 avisynth. The premise seems similar<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;projects&#x2F;avisynth2&#x2F;files&#x2F;AviSynth%202.6&#x2F;AviSynth%202.6.0&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;projects&#x2F;avisynth2&#x2F;files&#x2F;AviSynth%20...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.avisynth.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.avisynth.org&#x2F;</a><p>Last update seems to be from 2015 though.

Documentation seems to be 404 (except for the earliest version, v0.0).

How does this compare to vapoursynth? That&#x27;s a python DSL, mainly used for video filtering, but one can use it to splice together video.

I would like to see a few examples of usage of this tool. Like code and video example.

It’s no very clear from the homepage what it does.

There&#x27;s no explanation of how to use it, or even a code snippet. And the documentation is down. So not very useful I&#x27;m afraid :(

This might be really neat, but apparently it&#x27;s for people who already know what it is. The website does so little to explain it that it feels unwelcoming.

A clever name, but not a good one.<p>Makes the headline read weirdly, doesn’t tell me anything about what it is and probably has poor SEO.<p>Also, as someone with literally 0 video editing experience, why would I want my video editor to be programmable?
