curiousjp's ffmpeg meme cookbook

This is a place to gather "recipes" for various types of common video memes, now that discord has made this a ubiquitous format. I put these files together using ffmpeg, running it from the command line in a Windows Linux Subsystem instance. Image editing is normally done in GIMP where necessary, and youtube-dl is used to fetch video and audio files for input.

Eventually, I hope to have a basic tutorial here on how ffmpeg's worldview around video editing operates - the idea of the filter graph. Until then, I point you to the overall filtering guide, and the filter documentation reference. The basic idea however is that our video and audio streams are going to flow through a chain of filters and modifiers from our inputs to our final results.
