## What it is
vdx is an intuitive command-line tool for processing video files, powered by FFmpeg. It supports common operations like cropping, trimming, resizing, rotating, reversing, changing speed or frame rate, removing audio, and converting formats, with concurrent batch processing of multiple files.

## Use cases
- convert videos to gif from the command line
- crop and resize video files in batch
- trim a video to a specific time range
- remove audio track from videos
- speed up or slow down video playback
- rotate or reverse video files
- process multiple videos concurrently with ffmpeg

## When to choose
- you want a simple, human-friendly CLI over raw FFmpeg commands
- you need to apply multiple operations to many video files at once
- you regularly convert videos to GIFs or change formats

## When to avoid
- you need advanced FFmpeg features like filters, subtitles, or streaming
- you require a GUI video editor
- you need a project with frequent updates - the latest release is from 2021
