This site was created by Nick Roberts.
I'm a video engineer and software developer based in the UK, and I created this site as a side project to learn more about client-side video generation and server-side ffmpeg processing.
It's also a handy place to give quick access to tools I use frequently, such as the Barco placeholder images.
