Description

  • I have tried with the newest version of editly: npm i -g editly or npm i editly@latest
  • I have tried ffmpeg newest stable version
  • I have searched for existing issues

Can you add input variable into command line like this:

editly my-spec.json5 --fast --keep-source-audio --input input1.mp4 input2.mp3 --out output.gif

And in json file could look like this:

  title:'My video' \
  input1 \
  input2 \
  title:'My slideshow' \
  input3 \
  input4 \
  title:'THE END' \
  --fast \
  --audio-file-path /path/to/music.mp3```


Thank you

Research direction

Start at the editly command entry point and trace how the JSON5 spec and command-line options are currently read. Define how repeated --input paths map into the specification, then verify the proposed syntax and video output behavior with the existing CLI checks.
