Research direction

Start by comparing how BGB and SameBoy can generate clips for entries in the database. Resolve the required length, audio inclusion, and bitrate before implementation. Done means a script can reproducibly generate a small promotional clip for every database entry.

Description

We need a script that generates a small clip (for promotional/sharing on social media reasons) of every entry in the database.

BGB and SameBoy are both capable of this.

Length? Should audio be included? Bitrate?
