FAQ

• Why is the app so large?

  • The Electron binaries that allow program to be run as a standalone app are large.
  • FFMPeg can be installed separately but can be up to 100MB.

• Avi file won't play

  • Although ffmpeg supports .avi files, Chrome does not support avi files natively.

• I can't save files when running pnpm dev dev mode.

  • This often occurs due to code editor (e.g. VSCode) privileges. Change program privileges, or use pnpm run, or run the built app.
