To be fair, pulling out a professional video editor for small changes is like learning emacs to edit some config files. You don't need 99% of the features. Also as an FYI to everyone, FFmpeg does support nVidia GPU acceleration but it

Can you make one based on the WoW fishing minigame? ie they need to click on the bobber at the right time. I'm not expecting it to last longer, but there really should be some decent fishing bots at this point.
