To be a little more fair... that example is tidily slotted into the EXAMPLES section, under the heading "You can extract images from a video, or create a video from many images".

I don't think most people read the man pages top to bottom. And even if they did, then for as much grief as you're giving ffmpeg, llm has an even larger burden... no man page and the docs weigh in at over 8k lines.

I get the general point that ffmpeg is a powerful, complex tool... but this is a weird fight to pick.

I could not be more confident that "ffmpeg is difficult to figure out" is not a weird fight to pick. It's notorious!
