vroom

What is vroom?

• The video editing software Vrew uses x86_64 architecture FFmpeg even on Apple Silicon. It's not optimized for Apple Silicon, so it's slow.
• vroom is a script that patches the FFmpeg used by Vrew to the native FFmpeg for Apple Silicon. It replaces the original FFmpeg with the native FFmpeg for Apple Silicon.
• For the detailed information, please visit my medium post (Korean).
