Docs

FFmpeg's official docs are notoriously difficult for beginners to understand due to the scope and complexity of ffmpeg's capabilities. With that being said, they're still very useful as a reference.

• FFmpeg.org - Where it all starts.
• Filters - Docs for ffmpeg's powerful filter chains (scaling, cropping, concatenating, merging, etc.). This is one of my most visited links when working with ffmpeg.
• Man page - Official ffmpeg man page.
• Wiki & Bug Tracker - Lots of great info on here.
• CLI flags - A comprehensive list of all ffmpeg commandline flags. Really useful for searching random flags that you come across in the wild.

JavaScript

• fluent-ffmpeg - A fluent API to FFmpeg. If you only use one tool from this list, it should be this one.
• ffmpeg-probe - Wrapper around ffprobe for getting info about media files.
• ffmpeg-concat - Concats a list of videos together using ffmpeg with sexy OpenGL transitions.
• ffmpeg-generate-video-preview - Generates an attractive image strip or GIF preview from a video.
• ffmpeg-extract-frame - Extracts a single frame from a video.
• ffmpeg-extract-frames - Extracts screenshots from a video using ffmpeg.
• gif-extract-frames - Extracts frames from GIFs including inter-frame coalescing.
• ffmpeg-extract-audio - Extracts an audio stream from a media file.
• ffmpeg-on-progress - Utility for robustly reporting progress with fluent-ffmpeg.
