I have been using this one[0] and it is small, fast, and seems to work pretty great for me so far.

Happy to hear! Some of my thoughts when building it:

- I haven't implemented audio support yet, but it would be nice

- I like --dry-run

- I didn't use a TUI widget library, but now it's at the point where it's tedious to refactor the UI / make it prettier

- I like OP's timeline widget

- Wanted to focus on static binaries. I got chafa static linking working for Linux, but haven't bundled ffmpeg yet

- which reminds me of licenses -- chafa and ffmpeg are LGPL iirc

- a couple other notes from early on: https://wonger.dev/posts/chafa-ffmpeg-progress
