video-debugging

Video diagnostics use metadata inspection and frame extraction to identify root causes without needing a reference file. This Skill applies a 5-step workflow—triage, categorize, analyze, diagnose, recommend—to pinpoint playback failures, blocky artifacts, color inaccuracies, A/V sync problems, and codec compatibility issues across formats.

Yes. This Skill performs non-reference video analysis by extracting and inspecting frame data and codec metadata to identify corruption, compression artifacts, and quality degradation. It then recommends specific remediation steps tailored to the detected issue.

The Skill uses ffmpeg and ffprobe to inspect and analyze video across formats and codecs. It handles playback failures, synchronization problems, and container compatibility concerns by examining file metadata and extracting diagnostic frame information regardless of codec.

Run per-file checks using metadata analysis to detect synchronization drift and codec–container mismatches. The diagnostic workflow categorizes the issue type, analyzes frame and timing data, and recommends format conversion or repackaging as needed.

This Skill performs standalone triage without reference comparisons, relying instead on intrinsic metadata and frame-level analysis. It identifies corruption and quality degradation patterns directly from the file, making it faster when reference files are unavailable or when multiple files need rapid triage.

Yes. ffmpeg and ffprobe are required dependencies. They extract codec data, frame metadata, and allow frame extraction for quality analysis. Ensure both tools are available in your environment before running diagnostics.
