A simple program with a UI for exporting video to png and encoding png images to video using FFmpeg, for the purpose of upscaling. This program does not upscale your video, it's a tool to be used to save time for your upscaling process.
Instead of opening CMD yourself and navigating to your ffmpeg location and then enter the command this program does all that for you. Saves a lot of time when working with multiple videos. It does however require some knowledge of FFmpeg commands for you to be able to customize your encoding command for your needs.
Encoding presets can be fully modified and comes with some decent default settings for x264 encodes. I plan to add more features in the future, this was just something I rushed together quickly in 2 days and has been extremely useful for me ever since.

Known Issues
- I haven't created a certificate for the program so windows may give a warning when starting it for the first time, this will be fixed later on. It's 100% safe code.
