Free Workflow and transcoding system FFAStrans is workflow and transcoding system based on the principles of connecting nodes to create dynamic workflows. It's aimed at broadcasters and video professionals for automatic transcoding of media files through drop folders or API. FFAStrans is free to use for anyone but competes in the same market as highly expensive enterprise media solutions. Decoding and encoding relies on FFMpeg and AviSynth is used for extra filters.
User Interface:
-Intuitive graphical interface for creating complex workflows
-Easily set up host farms for distributed node processing
-Run as service in complex farms or as a single standalone application
-Monitor jobs using inbuilt application or through http
-Restart finished or failed jobs from start or from node of failure
Workflow:
-Use as a generic file flow system
-Advanced decision making and variables nodes to dynamically adapt your file flow
-Multiple simultaneous workflows with different configurations, each run in separate processes
-Use functions to manipulate and extract data from strings, numbers and arrays
-Use functions to extract JSON data from JSON strings
-Extensive set of file, media and system variables
-Send e-mail notification with dynamic job data using variables
-Create custom presets for all nodes
-Read text or binary files into user variables
-Generate any kind of text file populated and altered with variables
-Execute any DOS command from within workflow
File Monitors:
-Smart monitoring of image sequences
-Create custom user variables and statics
-Automatically fetch web videos like YouTube, Vimeo etc. by dropping URL-shorcuts in dropfolder
-Continuously process files as new when modified
-Configure FFAStrans to read and QuickTime reference files
-Monitor local or UNC paths and FTP
-Monitor camera file structures from Panasonic P2, Canon-XF and GoPro
Encoding:
-Create high quality HEVC content with HDR support
-Encode broadcast formats like XDCAM-HD, AVC-Intra, DNxHD/HR and ProRes
-Process and conform audio without touching the video (transwrap)
-Convert images into video
-Create custom FFMpeg based encoder profile
-Preserve timecode throughout transcoding
Filtering:
-Apply loudness control according to EBU-R128
-Broadcast quality PAL <> NTSC conversions
-Insert video or stills images
-Overlay watermark and transparent video
-Add superimposed timecode just like real broadcast VTR's
-Insert custom AviSynth script
API:
-Easy third party integration with JSON based API
-Create, start, stop and pause jobs and populate variables through API
-Monitor, pause/resume and abort jobs through REST API using JSON
