videoTrimmer

This project is about creating a Node.js app that does the following:

1. API Endpoint: Fastify server with an endpoint to upload a video file.
2. Video Trimming: Implementing functionality to trim the video based on provided start and end times.
3. Video Resizing: Implementing functionality to resize the video to specified dimensions.
4. Error Handling: Ensure robust error handling, especially for file uploads and FFmpeg processing.
5. Response: After processing, the server should return a message indicating success or failure.

Bonus Tasks:

1. Video Splitting: Extend the service to split the video into audio codec (aac , opus) and video codecs(h264,vp9,av1)
