I remember way back when I was still intimidated by the command line, I was having issues with a video, and the only info I could find was on using ffmpeg to do some conversions directly. I laugh at the memory of me being nonplussed at trying to launch ffmpeg and expecting a GUI to pop up.
I am glad that I spent some time getting to know ffmpeg directly. There’s been a few times where knowing that it was ffmpeg under the hood helped me.
FFmpeg is one of the most underrated software on Linux. It’s so important for the ecosystem very widely used. And you most likely barely notice it.
Just like curl.

You mean underrated?
Haha yes. My bad.
