+# ffmprovisr
+
+Repository of useful FFmpeg command lines for archivists! [AMIA hackday](http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Association_of_Moving_Image_Archivists_%26_Digital_Library_Federation_Hack_Day_2015) edition. 
+
+## What is this?
+
+Project Objective: To facilitate better understanding of ffmpeg through collaborative sharing of useful scripts and detailed flag-level description of how each script works so archivists can copy-paste and produce their own scripts but also understand how and why they work.
+
+## How do I see it?
+
+Code stuff in the gh-pages branch. Readme is right here. The site is live and lives on github pages. You can see it [here](http://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr).
+
+## How do I contribute?
+
+You are welcome to edit the codebase yourself or just supply the information and ask it to be added to the site.
+
+To contribute to this project directly (and more quickly), check out the gh-pages branch (`git checkout gh-pages`) and add or modify a new block in index.html. Then submit a pull request and someone can review and integrate your code. There is a commented-out sample available in index.html that can be used to build your own block. 
+
+If you are having trouble with the coding it yourself or with github knowledge, feel free to [submit an issue](https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmprovisr/issues) with the kind of command you would like to see added to the site.
