dropconvert v0.1.2

Dropconvert

A no-frills ffmpeg wraper to quickly downsample high bitrate 4K video footage to 1080p

Background

Using the Panasonic GH5 to record 140 MBit/s 4K 60p results in ~1 GB data per minute video. To share clips online I'm downsampling them to 1080p and needed a quick drag, drop & forget desktop solution to accomplish this.

Shortcut

Install the package globally via npm and create a OS shortcut just with the command dropconvert

npm install -g dropconvert

Drag and drop a video file to the shortcut to start transcoding it to the directory of the clip.

Requirements

requires ffmpeg available in PATH
