Hi HN,

I built Leonardo as a lightweight Linux video converter built on top of FFmpeg.

The goal was to simplify common creator workflows without typing long FFmpeg commands.

Presets include: • DaVinci Resolve MOV workflow • YouTube H.264 • OBS remux • TikTok 9:16 vertical auto crop (fixed in 10.0.13)

It's distributed as a Linux AppImage and includes built-in HTML help documentation.

I was looking at used video cards to use with Davinci Resolve, then I noticed that Intel's latest GPU was a good value. Last week I bought an Intel Arc B580 card.

What's the problem with Apple's .mov files and DaVinci? I just ran into this last night.

Handbrake has too many options, so I'll definitely try out your utility.
