(I am very confident I am not the only person who has been deterred by ffmpeg's legendarily complex command-line interface. I feel no shame about this at all.)
I don't think most people read the man pages top to bottom. And even if they did, then for as much grief as you're giving ffmpeg, llm has an even larger burden... no man page and the docs weigh in at over 8k lines.
I get the general point that ffmpeg is a powerful, complex tool... but this is a weird fight to pick.
But if you approach ffmpeg from the perspective of "I know this is possible", you are always correct, and can almost always reach the "how" in a handful of minutes.
Whether that's worth it or not, will vary. :)
Alas instead of correct and easy solutions to problems we are focused on sci-fi robot assitant bullshit.
