FreeFactoryQT - Python3 with QT6 [Linux only for now]

[musicman]

While this project has been available since 2013, it was mostly used exclusively by television stations, I wrote it originally as a collection of BASH scripts. It received a TCL-TK GUI in late 2013 (which was pretty incredible) but has recently been upgraded to Python3 with a QT UI. While still a work-in-progress, it has been updated to include a live Streaming Manager, local single or multi file queue conversion and a new service configuration which allows drop folders (network shareable) running in the background.

Yes, is uses ffmpeg.

This is a completely different take on ffmpeg GUIs. Nothing is in stone and you can add any of the hundreds of options ffmpeg provides with a manual options field.

Still lots to do, but it's working well now as a local drag and drop encoder. Still using the older FreeFactoryConversion.tcl for daemon control. Contributors most welcomed.

Please test and report.

Introducing FreeFactoryQT v1.1.33 - A powerful command line builder (and much more) for FFmpeg. Written in Python3 [Linux]


[Attachment 88889 - Click to enlarge]
FreeFactoryQT is a complete rewrite of the original TCL/TK version which was originally developed in 2013 but never really released publicly.

A Few Key Features:

• Allows building conversion "Factories" using point and click interface.
• Quickly prototype new FFmpeg command lines for multiple uses using point and click command builder.
• Drag and drop direct file conversion (ideal for testing Factories before assigning to a drop folder).
• Allows nearly every available FFmpeg option that's not part of the UI by using the Manual In/Out fields.
• Support for subtitles and sidecar subtitles currently being developed.
• Support for sidecar SCTE35 currently being developed.
• Live Stream and Recording Manager.
• Full Background Service for building Drop Folders (Optional).
• Single serial encoding via frontend or parallel encoding via FreeFactoryNotify-service (hardware dependent).
• Built-in Help using your currently installed version of FFmpeg.
• Now includes a Flags Builder for -flags, -flags2 and -fflags making using FFmpeg flags much easier. Full tooltips to guide you.
• Video Advanced tab now supports many options needed for Broadcast ready formats (mpeg2, mxf, etc).

We are in need of Beta testers so if you feel like you would like to give this powerful app a try, then please visit our github page at https://github.com/lacojim/FreeFactoryQT
