Not to mention imagemagick. I can often get ffmpeg to more or less do what I want on the first try, but imagemagick always results in a second try after reading the documentation for the 938th time.

For the magick stuff I do all the time (you all know what it is) I prepared a script. I wrote it probably a couple of years ago by this point and even if you held a gun to my head and I had it open in the text editor in front of me I couldn't explain to you what all the flags and arguments actually do.
