This is great! I'd love to see more wrappers like these for ffmpeg. Despite 5 years of using it, I can rarely run any ffmpeg commands without looking at StackOverflow. I wrote a similarly-inspired wrapper because of this as well, with a different subset of features, some of which rely on moviepy: https://github.com/achalddave/vid

Would be great if vdx learned more "common" ffmpeg features (creating a slideshow from a set of images, speeding up videos, simple drawing, etc.) while maintaining its simplicity!

There's the rub isn't it. There's a reason ffmpeg is so hard to use: it does so much. It does so much because efficient processing of media often requires you to do more than one thing in a single pass, or end up taking wayyy more resources than needed.

I'm still all for simpler frontends being available but there's going to be a limit of how many things can be covered before it is just as hard to use as ffmpeg.
