About:
MP4tools is a macOS GUI for FFmpeg that simplifies creating and editing MP4 video files. It provides an intuitive interface for common tasks like joining, splitting, and compressing videos without needing the command line. The tool leverages the powerful FFmpeg library to ensure efficient processing and high-quality output for various video formats.
Key Features:
  • Join multiple MP4 files seamlessly
  • Split large videos into smaller segments
  • Compress videos to reduce file size
  • Extract audio tracks to MP3 or AAC
  • Batch processing support
Use Cases:
  • Combining clips from a smartphone or camera into a single movie
  • Reducing video file sizes for sharing via email or social media
  • Extracting audio from a video file to create a podcast or music file
