#### Guidelines for contributing
* Recipes should ideally do just one thing or solve one problem, to keep things as user-friendly as possible and to avoid unintended side-effects
* Add the recipe to the [`.txt` file](./recipes.txt)
* Explanations and examples for recipes should be as generic as possible, to allow users to alter the command for their own use-case.
* This may involve the use of `VARIABLE_NAMES`
* Example: [Fade video and audio streams](https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/#fade_streams)
* Some recipes may benefit from including a GIF that shows the output
* Example: [Plays a graphical output showing decibel levels of an input file](https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/#astats)
* Some recipes require an explanatory section which may not fit gracefully into the recipe itself
* Example: [Rewrap a file](https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/#basic-rewrap)
* Recipes involving `-filter_complex` can be some of the most verbose and difficult to understand, so breaking these down as much as possible into their relevant sections is ideal
* Example: [Generate two access MP3s from input](https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/#append_mp3)
* Some recipes may refer to a specifc standard or vocabulary, and it's useful to link to these so that the user can scale the recipe to their use case
* Example: [Generate Broadcast WAV](https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/#bwf)
