Tip: if you're doing a lot of cropping and slicing of videos and you thought the new quick tools in Finder / Quicktime Player are a great improvement, try setting up IINA with slicing.lua and some keybindings for navigating your video + setting the slicing positions.
Make sure your ffmpeg command (in slicing.lua) is set to copy the original codecs and that it's using your GPU.
