I did not know ffmpeg could do this. Thanks, Christian!

This is the tool that's going to get Overtired on YouTube, finally. Easily add video to an audio track with images, waveform animations, and effects. Free and open source.

I've mentioned Descript a bunch of times, but I'm adding it to Web Excursions because they've added so many amazing features since the last time I linked it that I really think any podcaster/youtuber/screencaster who's not using it should check it out again. Short description: Edit your audio and video by editing the transcription. Select text, hit delete, media file is cleanly edited automatically. Descript now has a full suite of audio plugins (limiter, compressor, hi/lo cut, multiple eqs) as well as some wizardry to boost and level audio without a single dial to fiddle. If you're spending an hour or more every week editing a show, you really need to see this.

I've mentioned these "Clicker" apps as DBK Labs has been releasing them. They just put out this one for Amazon Prime, and I like it. It adds Picture-in-Picture, Touch Bar control, Quick Resume, disable auto-play trailers, skip pre-roll ads and intros, and a few other features... If you use Prime Video, this is definitely useful enough to easily justify the $8 price tag.

Even if you choose to use an alternative to Zoom, you're probably still going to have to go to other people's Zoom meetings. So avoid some of the security issues by joining them from your browser without installing the application.

A secure, open-source alternative to Zoom. Because there are so many things [wrong with Zoom](https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21202584/zoom-security-privacy-issues-video-conferencing-software-coronavirus-demand-response).

This is my new favorite ADHD resource. It's a YouTube channel with videos ranging from ADHD in work and relationships to explanations about things like "why can I focus on video games." Delightful to watch, and always informative.

A mini-doc detailing the story behind Leonard Cohen's posthumous record, _Thanks for the Dance_. The contrast of loss and creation made for a melancholy record. I love it.

I'm a user of Clicker for Netflix and was excited to see that they've released the same type of player for Hulu. It integrates native Mac features with the service's players, and include PIP and hacks for things like skipping the stupid mini-player that Hulu brings up when you close a show. Some interesting touch bar support, too.

As someone who wishes Rotten Tomatoes ratings were everywhere, this Chrome Extension that overlays Amazon Prime Video TV and movies with ratings is a welcome tool.

A curated collection of the best tech videos on the web.

Nvidia demonstrates using AI to turn 30fps video to super-smooth ultra-slowmo (240fps) video. It's amazing.

A downloader script for grabbing all of the WWDC 2017 videos. Written in Swift with no external dependencies.

Softorino teased SYC2 a little while ago, and now it's officially released. Instantly download videos and music, create audio, video, or ringtone files, and quickly add it to libraries on your Mac or iOS device. It works with more than just YouTube, too, including Facebook, Vimeo, Vevo, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and more.

From the creator of [Fileloupe](https://www.fileloupe.com/), Videoloupe is the "video player for videographers." It offers extensive playback controls, editing and adjustment tools, and a wide range of export/conversion options. Great for pros, but just about all of it is useful to anyone who works with videos regularly.

A frequently-updated collection of free video backgrounds for web pages, with ready-to-go HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for implementing them.

This looks like a cool service from Placeit. When I finally get around to making an iOS app...

> Crumbles are kinda like reaction GIFs with a way bigger vocabulary... and all you have to do to make one is type.
