While I agree with you that ffmpeg is hard to fully utilize in its current form, how do you design a "wrapper" for a CLI tool with 68,915 (I could be off by a few) parameters?
There's only one way to manage that, and that is to hide some options and functionality. Then it stops being an ffmpeg GUI, it starts becoming a "video transcoding application" (or an "audio grabber application "or a "subtitle insertion application") with ffmpeg as its backend.
See a similar thing for openssl here: https://smallstep.com/blog/if-openssl-were-a-gui/ https://smallstep.com/blog/if-openssl-were-a-gui/
Maybe someone can build a very specific AI that generates ffmpeg commands for you, based on its man page and what you input as free text?
