Audio and video processing with ffmpeg. Use when: user asks to convert, trim, merge, compress, or transcode video or audio files; extract audio from video; create GIFs or animated WebP from video; add subtitles or watermarks to video; change video resolution, framerate, or codec; normalize audio loudness; extract frames from video; concatenate clips; create thumbnails from video; strip or add audio tracks; convert between audio formats (MP3, AAC, FLAC, Opus, WAV); adjust volume; apply video…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ffmpeg Toolkit ffmpeg 6.1.1 is pre-installed with a full-featured build. Also available: **ffprobe** (media analysis) and **ffplay** (playback, limited use in container). Before writing custom Python for media tasks, check whether ffmpeg handles it in a single command. To *interpret* video content (summarize, describe, find scenes) rather than transform it, use the **parsing-video** skill — it samples frames into timestamped contact sheets that can be read as images. ## Task Reference ### Probe & Inspect Media **ffprobe** — always start here to understand what you're working with. ``` ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams input.mp4 ffprobe -v quiet -show_entries format=duration,bit_rate -of csv=p=0 input.mp4 ffprobe -v quiet -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=width,height,r_frame_rate,codec_name -of csv=p=0 input.mp4 ``` ### Video Format Conversion ``` ffmpeg -i input.avi output.mp4 # container swap (re-encode) ffmpeg -i input.avi -c copy output.mp4 # container swap (no re-encode, fast) ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -crf 28 output.mp4 # H.265 …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/processing-video@sha256:501e1250a1c6443eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
