Goffli
Goffli is simple to use interface and FFmpeg CLI wrapper that offers the ability to convert video, audio, and other multimedia files and streams using small Lua programs which you can share over Github Gist.
You can save and share any script with others. Every time you reuse it you will save all the time you spent in the past searching Google for ffmpeg bash scripts.
Installation
Make sure to install Golang 1.9 on your machine.
go get "github.com/wolfy-j/goffli"
Or you can find binaries here.
Usage
By default, Goffli can only display media information about a given file:
goffli info video.mp4
If you are looking to extend the possibilities of Goffli's functionality, you can load snippets using a GitHub Gist url:
goffli get https://gist.github.com/wolfy-j/d4ece481eb8c9bd8a438967d77603ce7 video2gif
These snippets can then be used immediately:
goffli video2gif input.mp4 result.gif

Feel free to share your own snippets you create above for others in the community.
Local snippets
You can also test your local Lua script without having to download it from GitHub Gists.
goffli run snippet.lua [args]
Coding the Snippet
Writing the code for the snippet is easy. You can utilize a set of functions embedded to a Lua machine in order to make it more user friendly.
Input functions
You can ask a user to enter a value
print(ask("Value"))
In order to validate a input value
local number = ask("Number", "number")
local float = ask("Number", "float")
local file = ask("File", "exists")
local not_empty = ask("Not Empty", "!empty")
Default values
local quality = ask("Quality", null, "32")
Temp files and directories
In order to retrieve a name of a temp directory
local tmp = require("tmp")
print(tmp.dir())
In order to allocate a temporary file with a desired extension
local tmp = require("tmp")
print(tmp.file("mp4"))
FFmpeg functions
This will display a spinner
require("ffmpeg").run({
"-i", input,
"-vcodec", "copy",
"-y", output
}, "spinner")
This will display a progress bar
require("ffmpeg").run({
"-i", input,
"-vcodec", "copy",
"-y", output
}, "progress")
Run Ffmpeg without showing any progress to a user
require("ffmpeg").run({
"-i", input,
"-vcodec", "copy",
"-y", output
}, "none")
Get media and stream details
local info = require("ffmpeg").probe(input)
print(info.format.duration)
Display media file details
require("ffmpeg").probe(input, true)
Returned result example.
Display media file streams
require("ffmpeg").probe(input, false, true)
