vt-enc is a bash script that simplifies the process of encoding videos with FFmpeg using Apple’s VideoToolbox framework on macOS. It provides an easy-to-use command-line interface for encoding videos with various options, including codec selection, quality settings, and scaling.

An alternative: https://alfg.dev/ffmpeg-commander/

Provides a web interface to generate ffmpeg commands (works on every platform).

Out of interest: What does VideoToolbox do in that context? I found nothing in the readme that would require anything else than just ffmpeg. Or is it just the compiling of a custom ffmpeg build that is VT specific?

VideoToolbox is the encoder that FFmpeg links to.

So when vt-enc only creates ffmpeg commands why is VT a dependency for the whole prpject?

vt-enc calls FFmpeg which calls the VideoToolbox encoding framework. Without VT, ffmpeg commands will fail
