We created an app that lets you quickly compress, trim and convert any kind of videos to ready-to-share mp4 files

We are a computer graphics company and we share a lot of images and videos to show progress and ask for feedback. We also work on discord, which limits the video formats and sizes you con share.

Our CTO were pushing really hard to use FFMPEG, but most of the ppl working with us would rather share a 100 MB mov or upload stuff to youtube rather than opening the terminal and write the FFMPEG scripts we gave to them.

Because of that we created an desktop all to compress, trim and convert videos to mp4. Additionally, we added a discord mode that automatically set the final size video to 25 MB or less. We gave this tool to our team and they are all using it now, it's so pleasent. We also published the tool for free and the reception was great!

Are you also writing your own tools when facing these scenarios?
