I'd like to compress my videos without using the terminal, what is the best GUI today that can do this?

Is this kind of program popular on linux? I know that ffmpeg is very popular on the terminal

Then why can we apply video filters etc. if it is only for transcoding? That is a really basic thing. Like no audio or pass through. You can also add subtitles. Why not audio?

I'm not a developer. Just explaining why projects keep within their scope and don't bloat their software with features, which in turn take more effort to maintain.

I know, all good, that is just such an odd choice.
