What is FFmate?

Fmate is an open-source automation layer built on top of FFmpeg designed to simplify video and audio transcoding workflows. It provides a modern REST API, a clean Web UI, and powerful features like task queuing, presets, watchfolders, webhooks, and pre/post-processing scripts. FFmate helps automate media jobs at scale, monitor progress in real time, and integrate seamlessly with other systems — all without needing to write complex shell scripts.

  • API-driven task management with batch processing and priority handling
  • Preconfigured and customizable presets
  • Watchfolders that continuously monitor directories and trigger automatic file processing
  • Webhook notifications to trigger external workflows on task events
  • Pre- and post-processing hooks for running custom scripts before and after encoding
  • Real-time monitoring through a Web UI and WebSocket
  • Cross-platform compatibility with macOS, Windows, Linux, and Docker
  • Built-in metrics for observability and detailed logging for debugging?

FFmate is ideal for developers, media engineers, and workflow specialists who want to build scalable, reliable transcoding pipelines without the complexity of of working directly with FFmpeg’s command line.
