Welcome! [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) is the typical go-to tool for automated workflows. But that depends on your comfort with command line tools. It also isn't exactly clear if you want a fully automated workflow or if you just want a simpler way to individually apply settings.

Thank you, I would like to be able for example to increase the length of all clips in a folder, by 20%. I'm ready to code a bit if needed. I'm more than comfortable with the command line tools.

Then FFmpeg should fit the bill. Unfortunately, I don't have a specific example for you to follow, but someone else might.
