Are ffmpeg user interested in a cloud base solution?
You push the input files, the command, and fetch the output when done.

I use Ffmpeg. I have zero interest in cloud based Ffmpeg.
Maybe if it was really cheap and the servers could process the job in a small fraction of the time it takes locally. Otherwise, I'd just run it locally.
If you built a ui that made it easier to use as part of the offering, it'd make sense for a lot of people.
Thanks!
Why you think that an UI would make sense?
An UI like what? Something to drive the user toward what it wants to do?

People don't have the goal "run ffmpeg", they have a goal like "transcode and host videos". See eg. mux.com on here recently.
> cost-plus
This is an extremely non-startup pricing model.

There's quite a few cloud services built around it already, but not usually so loose or general. I can see it being expensive to run.
The plan would it be to charge it at cost plus. Whatever the user is consuming plus a markup.
