A very comprehensive and well-designed GUI for ffmpeg, aimed at video editors and performing many functions (e.g., transcoding, VMAF, detailed file information, etc.). It can also apply filters such as denoising, stabilization, colorimetry, etc.
It is a truly full-featured program that delivers excellent results.
We CinGG users can use it to convert our files into high-quality intermediates suitable for editing.
