🚀🚀🚀 Launch🚀🚀🚀
Ok, I’ve finally decided that it was too hard for me to explain how to compress and process videos, so I created an app for iOS to help you with that. I have to admit that I spent too much time on the features that nobody will probably care about, but nonetheless, here we are. Please test, provide feedback, and look forward to more features and integrations.
(Please repost and spread the word, get people to test it and please enjoy!)

It sucks that there is FFshare on Android exactly for that, but the defaults are horrible and custom options output is buggy... https://github.com/caydey/ffshare/issues/150
The idea that I'm uploading huge and slow video to my media server is causing me almost physical pain.
I do not use or have a decent Android device unfortunately, sorry about that. I understand the pain, that’s why I created my own app. 🫂
No need to apologize. You created an awesome app. I'm just sad that there is foss solution on Android, but it seems to be abandoned and the last version sucks. :-(
That would be such a handy tool.. But it's very slow since it doesn't seem to use gpu acceleration.
Nowadays with 4k and 60fps being common using a native library like Mediacodec is a must.
Also you can't set Bitrate, that's the most important setting for streaming videos.
I'm an FFmpeg boy I don't mind waiting. :-)
This post inspired me to enhance the amethyst video compression. It's already using the gpu accelerated native library... Just needs a bit smarter configurations!
This is awesome. I was always a little wary about using #Amethyst for media compression. It gives me very little information about what is going on. If you can change that with smart configs, it would be a game changer.
I think it will be decent 🕺
Can't wait. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Ooo... Testing with different video files would be awesome. I'll let you know when it's baked
Look at the output from this app. It does a great job of minimizing size while maximizing quality, better than any other app I have tried. Not open source unfortunately.

Compression is sacred art, I survive on 3 bucks a month, so every byte counts. If you ever need to shrink a dream into pixels, I’ve got a canvas that trades sats for permanence. https://ln.pixel.xx.kg

#amethyst has built in image and video compression using gpu acceleration.
I think we can make it even better to create faster streaming videos for nostr.
