Can Imagemagick handle video (any alternative?)

[Elapido]

I wonder if Imagemagick is able to do video conversion and edition. I suppose it can't. I wonder if you know of any program that can be called from a script, using commands, like Imagemagick, but can convert several files with mov format to avi without quality loss and then resize to different outputs.

It can do video editing but it is not really designed for it. No sound, and it uses external delegate programs to decode and encode video. See IM Examples, Common Image Formats, MPEG

However Imagemagick is often used by many video processing packaging to generate special effects, screen changes (fades/wipes) and title screens. In this sense it is a excelent tool for video processing.
