Thank you FFmpeg developers and contributors! If there's anything that needs audio/video automation, I've always turned to FFmpeg, it's such a crucial and indispensible tool and so many online video tools use it and are generally a UI wrapper around this wonderful tool. TIL - there's FFmpeg.Wasm also [0]. In Jan 2024, I had used it to extract frames of 1993 anime movie in 15 minutes video segments, upscaled it using Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan [1] then recombining the output frames for final 4K upscaled anime [2]. FWIW, if I had built a UI on this workflow it could've become a tool similar to Topaz AI which is quite popular these days.

If like me you're using Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan [1] and are curious what upscayl-ncnn CLI [2] changed from it, there's not much and nothing substantial [3]. Not a criticism, just wanted to learn whether it's worth upgrading to for a CLI tool ($subj is a separate GUI app based on it).
