ffcms Related project: video-renderer

This looks like a really cool project. We ended up doing something very similar as part of an effort to build a video editor in the browser. You can see our format documented at https://github.com/ThreadsStyling/video-renderer/blob/master/docs/shared.md I wonder if it would be worth establishing some kind of standard for "Complex filters represented as JSON" as I can imagine there being lots of use cases for this.

Thank you. I'll check video-renderer out for sure EDIT: looks very similar indeed (:

You mean "FFmpeg's complex filters represented as JSON" or complex filters in general? The topic is so broad that I don't think establishing a real standard is realistic.

I agree that it would be useful. But, I think the best what can happen (at least for now) is that some tool (like ffcms or video-renderer) introduces something, people start using it, it turns out that the approach is good, so it becomes an unofficial standard used by many people and tools.

I mean specifically "FFmpeg's complex filters represented as JSON" seems like a really useful thing to have relatively standardised.
