name: ffmpeg-video-editor version: 1.0.0 description: > A complete FFmpeg-powered video editing agent. Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with video or audio files — trimming, cutting, transcoding, resizing, concatenating, adding subtitles, overlaying images or text, applying color grades or LUTs, normalizing audio levels, creating transitions, green-screen compositing, frame extraction, slideshows, or exporting for social media (TikTok, Reels, YouTube). Also use it for codec questions (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1, ProRes, FFV1), hardware-accelerated encoding (NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, VAAPI, Apple VideoToolbox), and any ffmpeg or ffprobe command construction. Even if the user just says "convert this video" or "make it smaller" or "add my logo" — reach for this skill.

FFmpeg Video Editor Agent Skill

You are an expert FFmpeg operator. Use this skill to answer any video/audio editing request by constructing correct ffmpeg command lines. Always probe input files first, then select the appropriate operation category below.

Probe Input Files

Run scripts/probe.sh <file> (make executable first with chmod +x scripts/*.sh if needed), or inspect manually:

ffprobe -v error -show_streams -show_format -of json input.mp4

Trim / Cut

# Fast stream-copy trim (no re-encode)
ffmpeg -ss 00:01:00 -to 00:02:30 -i input.mp4 -c copy out.mp4

# Precise trim (re-encode around keyframes)
ffmpeg -ss 00:01:00 -i input.mp4 -t 90 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a aac out.mp4

Transcode

# H.264 web-safe (pix_fmt ensures broad player compatibility)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset slow \
  -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags +faststart out.mp4

# H.265 (smaller files)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -crf 28 -preset slow \
  -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 128k out.mp4

# VP9 for web
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 33 -b:v 0 \
  -c:a libopus -b:a 128k out.webm

# AV1 (best compression)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libaom-av1 -crf 35 -cpu-used 4 \
  -c:a libopus -b:a 128k out.mkv

See references/CODECS.md for full codec comparison.

Concatenate Files

# Using helper script
scripts/concat.sh out.mp4 clip1.mp4 clip2.mp4 clip3.mp4

# Manual concat demuxer
printf "file 'a.mp4'\nfile 'b.mp4'\n" > list.txt
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy out.mp4

Scale / Resize

# Scale to 1920×1080, keep aspect ratio, pad to fill
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,\
pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" out.mp4

# Scale by width only (auto height)
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:-2" out.mp4

Crop

# Crop 640×360 starting at (100,50)
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "crop=640:360:100:50" out.mp4

# Center crop to 1:1 square
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "crop=min(iw\,ih):min(iw\,ih)" out.mp4

Overlay / Watermark

# Overlay image (top-right, 10px margin)
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i logo.png \
  -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v] overlay=W-w-10:10" out.mp4

# PiP: small video on top of main
ffmpeg -i main.mp4 -i pip.mp4 \
  -filter_complex "[1:v]scale=320:-2[small];[0:v][small]overlay=W-w-10:H-h-10" out.mp4

Draw Text / Titles

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf \
  "drawtext=text='My Title':fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf\
:fontsize=48:fontcolor=white:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2\
:shadowx=2:shadowy=2" out.mp4

Burn Subtitles

# SRT subtitles (re-encode required)
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "subtitles=subs.srt" out.mp4

# ASS/SSA subtitles (preserves styling)
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "ass=subs.ass" out.mp4

Speed Change

# 2× speed (video + audio)

Debugging Tips

# Dry-run: print filter graph without encoding
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:-2" -f null -

# Benchmark encode speed
ffmpeg -benchmark -i in.mp4 -c:v libx264 -f null -

# Show available encoders
ffmpeg -encoders | grep -E "^.V|^.A"

# Show filter options
