This is equivalent to using ffmpeg to manually cut out commercials by finding the keyframes by eye and typing -ss 00:12:34 -to 00:45:56 . It works. Technically.

Here is why S02E01 is the perfect metaphor for working with the most powerful (and frustrating) command-line tool in video history. At the start of the episode, Janine has a clear goal: Get the AC fixed before the kids come back. Similarly, when you open your terminal to use FFmpeg, you have a clear goal: Convert weird_phone_video.mov to upload_to_twitter.mp4 .
