I love ffmpeg! I once used it to stitch together video and audio of multiple resolutions, with one long, complicated command, because after you get used to it enough, it can actually be easier to use than the Blender video editor! I'm not sure if this is a compliment to ffmpeg or a complaint about the Blender video editor, though...
Edit: I prefer not to share that specific video due to licensing issues, but this one used this similar script:
ffmpeg -i out.ogv -r 60 -f image2 -s 1920x1080 -i Blends/Ciudad/%04d.png -i Ciudad.ogg -loop 1 -framerate 60 -t 8 -i Blends/Trajnoj/Radoj/lokomativo.png -filter_complex "[0:v:0]scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,\ pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2, setdar=16/9 [cxefa];\ [1:v:0]scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,\ pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2, setdar=16/9 [dezertu];\ [3:v:0]scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,\ pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2, setdar=16/9 [lokomativo];\ [cxefa][dezertu][lokomativo]concat=n=3:v=1:a=0[outv];\ [0:a:0][2:a:0]concat=n=2:v=0:a=1[outa]" -map "[outv]" -map "[outa]" -r 60 ciudad2.mp4
(the actual editing is mainly at the end, by the way)
Edit: Ah, I finally found the script for my complicated mix of videos and images in many different resolutions and audio of many different lengths:

Instead of
ffmpeg -i FILE -hide_banner
you can just use
ffprobe FILE -hide_banner
which also avoids the At least one output file must be specified error message.
At least one output file must be specified
Here's how to take a screenshot with ffmpeg
ffmpeg
ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size 1920x1080 -i $DISPLAY -vframes 1 screen.png
Replace 1920x1080 as appropriate.
1920x1080

Debian user here; I had to increase the number of repositories to be able to install it. Good thing I did, it's a good tool.

For me ffmpeg is a way to avoid re-encoding video while doing useful things (because for one I have a pretty slow PC):
One time I downloaded a 1080p movie and the audio was clicky, so I downloaded the 720p resolution version and combined its good audio with the 1080p version's video, no re-encoding.
