I've been sporadically working on an ffmpeg frontend (carlosfdez.github.io/videocrop/) designed to preview and crop a video without transcoding. I often record gaming footage and I may sometimes make a short video out of one, but I often go over the footage I have long before I begin editing. Reducing what I have to work with at editing time an itch I've been wanting to scratch.

However, this is my first ever real attempt at a C++ project from scratch, so I have quite a bit to learn, especially when it comes to handling dependencies, cross platform, and building releases (I don't know how to test if the release even works on another machine, works on my machine indeed). I also need a proper name for it...

If anyone knows any good resources or info please let me know.
