Something I don't think many talk about, the fact that ffmpeg can input and output images, and does it really quick. Recently I was working on processing large images (100-200MB per jpg) which needed a crop, some added text and "progress bar" for a timelapse. I started with imagemagick, it was super slow, so tried graphicsmagick, also slow, just somehow I thought, why not try ffmpeg. Man, it's night and day difference. It processed my images super quick (from ~30 seconds down to ~1 second), and had surprisingly good documentation (compared to IM/GM), and allot of support on stackoverflow etc.
