videomass 2.7.0

Videomass is a cross-platform GUI for FFmpeg and youtube-dl

Videomass is a cross-platform graphical interface for FFmpeg and youtube-dl.

Videomass is not a converter; it provides a graphical interface for writing presets and profiles to be used with FFmpeg without limits on formats and codecs; it also provides a basic graphical interface for youtube_dl video downloader.

How to start Videomass

Videomass can be run without installing it, just unzip the source archive and executing the "launcher" script inside the directory:

python3 launcher

Videomass can also be run in interactive mode with the Python interpreter, always within the same unpacked directory:

>>> from videomass3 import Videomass3
>>> Videomass3.main()

Keep in mind that on Linux a launcher should be even created in the application launcher of your desktop environment when installing Videomass with pip.

On other systems such as Mac-Os and MS-Windows you will still have to open a console to run Videomass and just write videomass command. But if the command still doesn't work, you can start Videomass in interactive mode with the Python interpreter, as seen above.
