Play & cut videos in the terminal
vic is dynamically linked with chafa, a C library that makes pretty pictures. Install chafa from your package manager, or build it from source:
apt-get install libglib2.0-dev curl 'https://hpjansson.org/chafa/releases/chafa-1.14.4.tar.xz' -O tar xf chafa-1.14.4.tar.xz cd chafa-1.14.4 ./configure --without-tools make make install ldconfig Once chafa is installed, you can build the Rust project with cargo build.
Make sure everything is compiled and linked correctly by running cargo test.
You can find the built binary at target/debug/vic, or install it with cargo install --path .
vic requires ffmpeg to be on $PATH during runtime.
Coming eventually! See this issue if you want to help.

My main focus for now is creating a separate UI thread and adding audio.
I also need to fiddle with GitHub Actions and building static binaries.
There's several quality-of-life improvements to work on.
Pull requests welcome :)
