gollark: *Why* are you using AV1?

gollark: I see.

gollark: Also, if you want to take specific slices out of videos or whatever, use `-c copy` so it can just copy the encoded frames instead of reencoding them.

gollark: Er, why are you doing `. add.sh` instead of `./add.sh`?

gollark: At least this way it is (can be) automated!
