The Ultimate Terminal Media Dashboard
CLI-Studio is an advanced Terminal User Interface (TUI) that abstracts and simplifies powerful command-line media tools (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, yt-dlp, Pillow). It provides an intuitive, menu-driven workflow, allowing users of any level to perform complex video, audio, and image manipulations without ever leaving the terminal.
- 37+ Integrated Tools: A massive suite of media manipulation utilities out-of-the-box.
- Interactive File Explorer: Visually browse your filesystem to select files and destinations. No more typing absolute paths manually.
- Auto-Batch Processing: Select an entire folder instead of a file, and CLI-Studio will automatically process every piece of media inside it with live progress bars.
- Smart Input Autofill: Integrates
ffprobeto automatically read file metadata and pre-fill input fields (e.g., automatically finding the exact end timestamp of a video for precise trimming). - Power User Log Console: Press
Ctrl+Lat any time to toggle an interactive debug log that reveals the exact raw CLI commands being executed under the hood. - Integrated Help System: Press
?on any tool to open a clear, plain-English explanation of what it does and how to use it. - Dynamic Theming Engine: 8 built-in aesthetic themes (Modern, Hunter, Coppice, Navy, etc.) that save to your preferences.
- Download Media: Fetch single videos or entire playlists.
- Convert & Scale: Transcode to MP4, MKV, AVI, WebM. Resize resolutions instantly.
- Edit & Manipulate: Trim precisely, extract audio, mute, rotate, reverse time, or change playback speed.

CLI-Studio is designed to be installed globally on Linux or macOS. Our automated bash script handles installing all necessary system dependencies (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, ExifTool), sets up an isolated Python environment, and creates global command aliases.
