You have seen them, video clips grabbed off Instagram or TikTok have this EXTREMELY annoying logo and sound at the end (specially Instagram lately, doubly so with headphones). I’d like to just throw a script/command/Bash alias at any of these and have a resulting video without them, and ffmpeg IS the Swiss army knife of video processing, but it’s syntax is NOT what you’d call simple. Does anyone have a recipe for this already?

    This is my (controversial) tip: ask an LLM. It works wonderfully for these cases. “Give me an ffmpeg command that cuts the last X seconds of a video in a lossless manner, stabilizes it and speeds it up 200%”.

    You can then checkout those commands on the manual/online to verify.
