Which service to edit an existing video with, and how to edit it without breaking it. A routing guide for ten editing jobs: cut, trim, resize and join (FFmpeg, the varg ffmpeg tool, Rendi), talking-head cleanup (silence and filler cuts from word timestamps: auto-editor, Descript, ElevenLabs Scribe, Groq Whisper), long video to Shorts (OpusClip, or transcript + Gemini + FFmpeg), captions and subtitles (ASS through FFmpeg, Remotion, HyperFrames, Submagic, ZapCap), assembling from a timeline or…
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
# Video editing: which service, and how Editing starts from footage that already exists, so the first rule is not to damage it. Work in this order, and pick the service for each step from the table below. 1. **Probe.** Run `ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration:stream=codec_type,codec_name,width,height,r_frame_rate,sample_rate -of json in.mp4`. Note the frame rate, whether it is variable, the sample rate and the duration. 2. **Transcribe once** if anyone speaks: word-level timestamps, saved as JSON next to the source. Every text decision reads from this file: silences, filler words, highlights, captions. 3. **Write the edit decision list** as data: source, in and out points, track, effect, the service for each step and its cost. Show it to the person and wait for a yes before any paid call. On varg, run `estimate_cost` first. 4. **Render deterministically** wherever you can (FFmpeg, HyperFrames, Remotion). Use a generative model only on the shortest span whose pixels must change. Cut that span out, edit it, and stitch it back. …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-video-editing@sha256:bd1f804a0114e08cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
