I’d rather you try my work than trust a sales pitch. My Screen Recorder is completely free, so you can see exactly the kind of software I make before you pay for anything.
🎥 Try the Free Screen Recorder →A professional interface on top of FFmpeg, Whisper AI and yt-dlp — convert, edit, subtitle and download, no command line.
Download, convert, edit, grade, transcribe, and record video — all on your own machine, no cloud, no subscriptions.
Built on FFmpeg — the open-source engine trusted across the video industry — made simple. The same reliability the pros use, without the command line.
🍎 Signed & notarized by Apple. The macOS app is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens the normal way with a double-click. No “unidentified developer” warning, nothing extra to do.
“Nothing felt like it was made for someone who actually uses this stuff regularly. So I built my own.”
Read the full story →Import or capture your footage, edit it on a timeline or with AI-assisted effects, then export — all in one app, powered by FFmpeg, GStreamer, Whisper and more under the hood.
Version 2 is production-ready and battle-tested — with active beta testers, real-world feedback, and a steady stream of improvements. It's stable software built by one developer who uses it daily and stands behind it.
Works on any Windows 11 laptop or desktop — no dedicated GPU required.
Tested in a Sandbox environment with Beta testers confirming stability. Install size is approximately 1.7 GB.
GPU-accelerated Whisper transcription supports NVIDIA CUDA and Intel OpenVINO (Intel Arc & Core Ultra). CUDA requires an extra install step due to size; OpenVINO installs in one click from Settings. AMD GPUs are not supported for Whisper acceleration.
Probably works on Windows 10 but that OS is no longer supported by Microsoft — you take that risk. Upgrade to Windows 11.
Minimum: Windows 11. Hardware-accelerated encoding is auto-detected and works with:
CPU-only mode works on any hardware but will be slower. Tested at 164 fps on an Intel HD 530 (2015) vs 56 fps on CPU alone.
Nothing to install — VideoToolbox acceleration is built into every Mac.
Smaller install than Windows — no CUDA needed. Acceleration is handled by VideoToolbox, Apple's built-in low-level framework for hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding.
VideoToolbox uses the GPU or dedicated Media Engine for fast H.264/HEVC transcoding with low CPU overhead — and it's already on your Mac. Nothing extra to install.
Minimum: Apple M1, 8 GB RAM.
Certified on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (x86_64) — that's what this release has actually been tested on, by me, personally.
Should also work on other recent Ubuntu LTS releases and close derivatives (Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Elementary OS), since they share the same underlying libraries — but those have not been independently verified. No guarantee outside of 26.04 yet.
Installs from a .tar.gz with a guided install.sh — no terminal required. It may install GTK3/GStreamer via your package manager if they're missing.
Minimum: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, x86_64. See the full Linux install guide for details.

FFmpeg Commander was built on one non-negotiable rule: your files never leave your machine. As a Gen X developer inspired by Solaris and Mac OS 9, I wanted software that gets out of your way and lets you work — clean, focused, and built for substance over flash.
Read the Philosophy →One tool for your entire local video workflow — download, convert, edit, grade, transcribe, and record. No cloud uploads, no accounts, no subscriptions.
Not sure about spending $45 on software from a developer you just met? Fair enough. I also built a free screen recorder for the Mac — it records your screen with your voice and the computer's sound mixed together, runs entirely on your machine, no account, no cloud. Same philosophy as everything here, zero cost.
If you like how the free one is built, you already know what to expect from the full toolbox.
