I thought FFmpeg is pipeline based too; graph of filters. Am I missing something? You can set up a complex graph of source, sink and transform filters.

FFmpeg's filter DSL is so good that I get annoyed if I ever have to fall back to command line switches.
I wish there was some sort of local gui / tool to drag and drop nodes, connect them together, type-check the graph if possible, and it would only show the ffmpeg command to run which you could paste. Anyone know or anything?
see lavfi-preview on github. Its GUI app for libavfilter/FFmpeg filters
You're right, but gstreamer is a little bit more sane for many use cases. Maybe ffmpeg is more advanced; I am not sure. I find the pieces fit together better with gstreamer.
