Milestone
ImageMagick has rather poor performance as has been been demonstrated by TUI library projects like chafa (who is actually considering the switch to FFMPEG) and notcurses and as noted here brings in a ton of extra dependencies . So since you plan on making ImageMagick an optional dependency: #236, it would then make sense to offer an alternative in addition to ImageMagick. This is where https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg comes in. I hope when you have time, you'll consider using FFMPEG for this project and not just ImageMagick.
