Why MediaProc?

The Problem: Modern development workflows require multiple tools for media processing:

• FFmpeg for videos
• ImageMagick for images
• SoX for audio
• Each with different syntax, steep learning curves, and complex workflows

The Solution: MediaProc provides a unified CLI with consistent commands across all media types.

| Feature | Traditional | MediaProc | | ----------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------- | | Tools Needed | 5+ separate tools | One tool | | Installation | Complex setup | npm install -g @mediaproc/cli | | Syntax | Different for each | Consistent everywhere | | Extensibility | Limited | Plugin architecture |

Professional Support

MediaProc is free and open source.
