What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of reducing file size and extracting usable audio/video from media files without guessing codecs, bitrates, or durations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Media inspection: Uses ffprobe to report codec, bitrate, duration, stream details, and overall size before any conversion so you can choose the right output settings.
- Audio conversion & compression: Converts between common formats (MP3, AAC, Opus) and provides practical bitrate guidance for voice, music, and compatibility.
- Video conversion, resizing, and AVIF workflows: Produces smaller H.264/H.265/WebM outputs, rescales to target resolutions, and generates static or animated AVIF (including GIF replacement).
- Trimming, clipping, and audio extraction: Extracts clips losslessly or re-encodes when compression is desired, and pulls audio from video.
- Frame and scene extraction: Extracts frames at intervals, keyframes, and scene changes for thumbnails, review, or editing pipelines.
Quick Start
Run ffmpeg to inspect your input file, choose the appropriate conversion command (for example, Opus for small audio), and produce a smaller output while keeping quality aligned with your target use case.
