FFmpeg Guide
from dotfiles117
Comprehensive FFmpeg reference for encoding, converting, streaming, filtering, and analyzing audio/video — command examples, common patterns, and troubleshootin
What it does
Provides a thorough, example-rich guide to FFmpeg command-line usage and common workflows: format conversion, codec selection (H.264/H.265/VP9/AV1), CRF/bitrate settings, audio extraction, scaling/resizing, trimming, concatenation, filters, streaming (RTMP/HLS), hardware acceleration, and media analysis with ffprobe.
When to use it
Use when an agent needs to produce concrete ffmpeg commands, troubleshoot encoding errors, recommend quality vs. speed trade-offs, create HLS/RTMP streaming setups, or craft batch processing scripts for media pipelines. Works well for video engineers, DevOps, and content creators.
What's included
- Scripts: none in the skill folder (manual command snippets provided).
- References: practical commands, parameter explanations, and links to FFmpeg docs.
- Instructions: ready-to-run examples for encoding, two-pass bitrate targets, trimming, concatenation, thumbnail creation, GIF generation, hardware accel, and common troubleshooting steps.
Compatible agents
Useful for agents that can output shell commands or automation scripts (Copilot/Codex-style). Agents should validate host capabilities (installed codecs, hwaccel) before recommending hardware-accelerated commands.
