Introducing Conductor: an FFmpeg Wrapper for MacOS

Note: This post is coming a bit late as I launched Conductor on October 14, 2024 (see the ProductHunt launch here), but I wanted to share a bit about the project.

Conductor is a new project I am working on. It is an FFmpeg wrapper for MacOS that allows you to convert and compress videos, images, audio files and gifs.

Over the last 5 years I regularly find myself needing to use FFmpeg for various file conversions and transformations. A common use case is converting and compressing video files from mov to mp4 for new projects to make them more web-friendly.

On other occasions I've needed to convert a batch of images into an animated video or gif file. In other scenarios I've simply wanted to convert a video into a GIF or convert HEIC image files to PNG.

So I wanted to build a tool that could simplify and automate a bunch of these different ways that I've found myself using FFmpeg over the years.

You can download Conductor from conductor.gg and try it out. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for making it even better.
