SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Changing a media file's container or codec normally requires local tools like ffmpeg and manual command-line work. This Skill lets an agent convert video and audio formats remotely through the OpenClip MCP server, including ripping audio out of video and turning clips into gifs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Video container conversion: Convert files to mp4, webm, mov, or mkv, defaulting to mp4 for maximum playback compatibility. - Gif generation: Turn short video moments into gifs with tunable fps and width parameters. - Audio extraction: Rip audio from video as mp3, aac, wav, or flac, with lossless options for downstream editing tools. - Use Case: A user has a large mov screen recording and asks the agent to "convert this to mp4". The agent uploads the file, calls convert_media, polls the async job, and returns a permanent CDN link to the converted file. ## Quick Start Ask your agent to convert the attached video to mp4 using OpenClip, and it will upload the file, run the conversion, and return a download link.

Frequently Asked Questions about openclip-convert

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a video to mp4 from an AI agent?▼

Upload the file with create_upload, PUT the bytes to the returned upload_url, then call convert_media with to="mp4" and poll get_tool_job_status every 5 to 10 seconds until the job completes with a CDN output URL.

How to extract audio from a video file as mp3?▼

Call convert_media with to="mp3" on the uploaded video file to rip the audio track. Use wav or flac instead when the audio feeds another tool that requires lossless quality.

What video and audio formats does OpenClip conversion support?▼

Video outputs include mp4, webm, mov, mkv, and gif with adjustable fps and width. Audio outputs include mp3, aac, wav, and flac, covering both sharing and lossless editing scenarios.

Is OpenClip media conversion free to use?▼

Yes, conversion is free with an OpenClip account and requires no subscription or credits. Free usage is rate limited per day with a per-file size cap, and error messages explain how to lift limits.

Why is my converted gif file so large?▼

Gif size grows quickly with video length, higher fps, and larger width. Trim the source to the interesting few seconds with edit_video first, and keep fps near 12 and width near 480.

When should I use compression instead of format conversion?▼

Use compression when the goal is hitting a target file size rather than changing format. That is handled by edit_video with operation="compress" in the openclip-video-editing skill, not convert_media.
