  • I guess ‘cool’ depends on personal interest and circumstances.

    A house move likely prevents running our Aussie Halloween this year, after being featured on State TV news last year, but I would like to share past family/friends efforts to establish a fun spooky celebration, in circumstances where locally there is not an established tradition, originating because my daughter in-law grew up in North Carolina and she and my eldest son moved here at the height of the pandemic, so I have adopted Halloween as a way to incorporate her fond childhood memories into our local family and local Aussie community traditions, with the help of family members and many talented friends: https://scarymandercove.au/

    Create 2 files to convert videos from the right click menu and make them executable in the Permissions:

    #!/bin/bash

    for file; do ffmpeg -i “$file” -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov “${file%.*}”.mov

    done

    And:

    #!/bin/bash

    for file; do ffmpeg -i “$file” “${file}”.mp4

    done
