> I use FFmpeg every few weeks, which is not often enough to remember all the commands I need. Very Much this. Even the `ffmpeg` incantations I use frequently are tough to recall -- like creating a gif `ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vf "fps=8,scale=512:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop 0 output.gif` The info will be in my notes and `.bash_history`, but less friction recalling it helps stay in context of the incantation called for at the moment that prompted the search. I'll tag, edit, and add notes to running *ffmpeg recipes*[0] when I'm being diligent. This helps reïnforce details for next time, as does reviewing and rubber-ducking here, but still with less-than total recall. What else works to recall more / more quickly? c.f. `awk`, `grep`, `find` and others. [0] https://smcnally.github.io/kb/ffmpeg%20recipes https://smcnally.github.io/kb/ffmpeg%20recipes
