FileConverter.js - Handles the actual conversion of a single file.

This is where we configure our CLI commands

index.js - The entry point for our program.

You can get the completed project files here. This isn't a requirement, of course The script runs perfectly fine on a local machine - the conversion will just take longer.

This is way faster than doing it on your local machine, and since the droplet is usually destroyed in 1-2 hours you're going to spend very little money to get the job done. The nice thing about setting it up with Node is that, if the conversion job warrants it, you can spin up a cpu-optimized droplet on DigitalOcean, upload the files, and make the conversion quickly, and then destroy the droplet. Save the results of each video in a converted files directory, with each video title as the sub directory.

Automatically generate 6 screenshots of each video at different intervals throughout.Take all of the files in a specified directory, and convert the videos to ogv, webm, and mp4.Add 3 commands accessible from my terminal's command line: run, screenshots, and videos.If you build correctly, it should be easy to set up what you've built with an interface. What's nice about starting with a CLI-based solution is that it allows me to spend most of my time focusing on the back-end instead of building out some kind of interface. I've been playing with creating small CLI applications with Node.js using commander lately, and decided that this would be an excellent place to start. This wasn't too bad, but as a programmer, doing manual, repetitive tasks makes my skin crawl, so I started looking into ways to automate this. Upload each version of each video to their server.Open the video and save a screenshot at a good place.Take each video, and use cloudconvert to create ogv, webm, and mp4 versions of each video.So, in-order to upload the videos to their website, my (admittedly awful) workflow looked something like this: It's a very handy tool, but the process can be tedious when you have a lot of files to deal with, and it doesn't (at least to my knowledge) handle generating screenshots of your videos for you. In order to ensure that these videos will play correctly on all devices, I have been manually converting these videos using Cloudconvert. Over at DesignFrame, one of my clients hosts videos on their own site.
