# 🎬 video-tools
This CLI really just makes my life easier. It may not be for everyone. If you are feeling adventurous, you may continue.
Among other things, this tool can convert videos among all sorts of formats, apply luts, batch conversions, and desktop recordings.
## Installation
This project requires Node.JS. Install that first. That part is up to you to figure out. I like using all the fancy language bits though, so install the latest version of it.
To install the package once, you can get the latest version like this:
```bash
npm install --global https://github.com/catdad/video-tools/tarball/master
```
If you prefer to work with the repository directly, you can clone it:
```bash
git clone [email protected]:catdad/video-tools.git
cd video-tools
npm install
# add this tool to your path
npm link
```
In both cases, this will create a global CLI named `vid` that you can use to access all the functionality of this utility.
This project uses `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` to deliver its functionality. It will fetch a copy of the necessary binaries at install time.
## Usage
I am not going to keep this README up to date. Instead, once you install it, execute `vid --help` to get all the details. These are the commands you'll have:
```bash
vid
Commands:
vid batch [globs..] execute any other command on a glob of files
vid container [options] switch format container without transcoding
vid desktop [options] capture screen video
vid ffmpeg [options] ffmpeg passthrough
vid ffprobe [options] ffprode passthrough
vid gif [options] create a gif from a video
vid image [options] extract still image from video
vid info show ffprobe info
vid lut apply a LUT to a video or image
vid x264 [options] transcode video to x264 mp4
```
From here, you can check the help of each command, such as `vid x264 --help`.
