Hello World
by ffmpeg.party
Welcome to the relaunched ffmpeg.party! This site has been completely rebuilt from the ground up as a cleaner, more organized resource for FFmpeg tools and knowledge.
What is ffmpeg.party?
This is a personal project where I share tools and guides for FFmpeg that I've created for my own use. Rather than keeping them to myself, I figured they might be useful to others dealing with video encoding challenges.
What's New
The site has been restructured with improved organization and several new additions:
Tools
- Visual Cropper for generating FFmpeg crop filters
- Anamorphic Crop Calculator for handling anamorphic video properly
- Updated encoding wizards (VP9, AV1, x264, x265) with better UI and isolated settings
- Duration calculator and other utilities
Guides
- Comprehensive x264 encoding guide with quality recommendations
- x265 guide for HEVC encoding
- New AV1 guide covering SVT-AV1 parameters and settings
Infrastructure
- Better organized navigation
- Cleaner, more consistent interface
- Improved tool persistence (settings save per-tool instead of globally)
What's Next
The roadmap for the near future includes:
- Batch encoding script generator - Tools to help create scripts for encoding multiple files with consistent settings
- Filter helpers - Utilities for working with complex filters, like frame rate doubling with smooth interpolation using minterpolate
- Additional guides and documentation as needed
This blog will occasionally feature updates about new tools, encoding tips, and other FFmpeg-related notes. No set schedule—just updates when there's something worth sharing.
