Pro Execute

The “Pro Execute” function allows you to modify the commands that Fast Forward sends to FFmpeg. This gives you complete control over your work, and opens up FFmpeg’s nearly infinite number of abilities to you.

To access the “Pro Execute” function, you first need to add at least one file and to specify an output file. The, hold shift and click on the “PRO EXECUTE” button that replaces the “EXECUTE” button. This will bring up a dialog with the commands Fast Forward has generated (dependent on the files you have entered and the current settings defined in the main window). Edit these as you see fit, with one command per line. Commands will be run in order, from top to bottom. Blank lines will be ignored.

After you hit accept, the commands (one per line, remember!) will be sent to FFmpeg. If all goes well, no errors will come up! However, if an error does arise, it is important to note that the latest release of Fast Forward does not yet notify users of FFmpeg errors. To debug errors in your commands, run FFmpeg (provided with every Fast Forward distribution) through the command prompt.
