Alfred Workflow to Convert a video to MP4 with hinted streaming for web. Reduces file size significantly without much video reduction.

Alfred - 3.6.1+
ffmpeg (recomend installing with Homebrew: https://brew.sh/)
These are the flags I started out with. I don't know if I will rember to update the readme if I change them: -codec:v libx264 -crf 21 -bf 2 -flags +cgop -pix_fmt yuv420p -codec:a aac -strict -2 -b:a 256k -r:a 48000 -movflags faststart
If you want to change them, you will need to do so in the bash script.
Open Alfred and type "encode", space, then the name of the file to convert. I will put the updated version in the same place, but will add -encoded.mp4 to the name.
Example: encode example.mov
Big movies will take a while to encode so it will let you know when it starts and when it finishes with big type on the screen and a sound.
