Use this skill for local FFmpeg/FFprobe media inspection, remuxing, transcoding, filtering, evidence-bounded video review, transcript-assisted editorial plans, edit decision lists, podcast/audio cleanup, rendering, and output acceptance. It emphasizes explicit stream selection, source preservation, build-aware commands, bounded evidence, and verified new outputs.

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 Expert

Treat FFmpeg as a typed media pipeline and media editing as an evidence-driven workflow. Inspect the actual source, separate measurements from interpretations, make decisions reviewable, render to a new path, and verify at the intended boundary.

## When Not to Use

- Do not use this skill for libav API programming, opaque whole-video semantic understanding, automatic publishing, rights clearance, DRM circumvention, professional broadcast/color certification, or HyperFrames-authored compositions.
- Route online media or transcript acquisition to the owning source skill, semantic frame interpretation to a vision-capable reviewer, and platform upload/API work to the platform skill.

## Boundaries and Routing

- Use a YouTube/transcript capability to acquire online video or transcripts; return here only for local supplied media and transcript artifacts.
- Use HyperFrames for HTML-authored motion graphics or composition; use this skill to inspect and preprocess its media inputs or verify rendered outputs.
- Use the named platform skill for upload, publishing, account, or API operations.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/ffmpeg@sha256:d9da55f12398cf33

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.b4669ac, 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.
