## What it is
typed-ffmpeg is a type-safe wrapper library around FFmpeg for Python and TypeScript, providing IDE-friendly construction of media filter graphs with full typing and inline documentation. It supports JSON serialization of filter graphs, graph visualization, validation, and media file analysis via ffprobe.

## Use cases
- build ffmpeg filter graphs with type checking in python
- generate ffmpeg commands programmatically with autocomplete
- serialize and reload ffmpeg filter graphs as
- probe media file metadata with ffprobe from python
- construct complex video/audio filter pipelines without shell strings
- visualize ffmpeg filter graphs for debugging

## When to choose
- you want type-safe, IDE-friendly ffmpeg bindings instead of raw command strings
- you need to build, validate, and reuse complex filter graphs programmatically
- you want zero-dependency python bindings for ffmpeg
- you need multi-version ffmpeg support with per-version packages

## When to avoid
- you need to actually decode/encode media inside your process rather than shelling out to ffmpeg
- you need a GUI for video editing
- your project does not use python or typescript

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: video-processing, audio-processing, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: media, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: ffmpeg, type-safe, filter-graph, media-processing, ffprobe, code-generation, video, automation, typescript, nodejs
