Change a video from unbalanced stereo to mono

in case you have a wonky mic where the left channel sounds much louder than the right; here's an ffmpeg command to keep only the left channel in a video file, converting it from stereo to mono:

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -af "pan=mono| c0=FL" -c:v copy out.mp4

Please reinstall Cypress by running: cypress install
