I'm not sure how to libavcodec while still doing Emacs I'm glad you see my point.

  I just don't think it's that bad. Even if it spawns a process for each frame when you're scrubbing, it seems to run fast enough on my computer. If you want to do a lot of advanced video editing then yeah use a real editor, but if you're just doing a quick trim it's really not a big deal to spin up a few dozen very-short-lived processes.

    It’s probably be more efficient to convert the video to multiple frames in batches, and then buffer them. Spawning processes is pretty resource intensive.

      I mean, "resource intensive"; that's technically true but the processes are pretty short-lived and only one spawns at a time as far as I can tell. It's definitely more overhead than an in-thread thing, but still not that much on modern computers. I agree that it would be more efficient to do these things in batches but I really don't think its current state is that bad, at least for a V1.
