We recently open-sourced FFmate: https://github.com/welovemedia/ffmate

It’s a modern automation layer on top of FFmpeg designed to simplify transcoding workflows, especially for developers integrating video/audio into apps or pipelines.

FFmate is built with extensibility in mind. Here's how you can leverage its core components: - REST API – Submit and manage FFmpeg tasks programmatically - Web UI – Monitor and control jobs in real time, no terminal required - Watchfolders – Automatically process files dropped into a directory - Presets – Ready-made set of pre-configured transcoding presets for common use cases - Webhooks – Get real-time notifications for task events - Dynamic Wildcards – Automate file naming and folder structures - Pre/Post Processing – Run custom scripts before or after each task to automate complex workflow steps - Built-in Queue – Manage task execution with priority control and smart concurrency handling

We would love feedback and contributions — especially from folks who've struggled with FFmpeg!
