ffmpeg-skill turns coding agents into video editors: 42 local FFmpeg tools, auto-verification
udmrzn · x · 2026-10-04
ffmpeg-skill (1.6k GitHub stars) wires FFmpeg into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any MCP-compatible agent, fixing the old pattern where agents guessed ffmpeg flags and never checked results.
- Fully local: no account, no API keys, media never uploaded
- 42 built-in tools: cutting, concatenation, silence removal, captions, aspect fitting, loudness normalization, HDR→SDR
- Install with npx ffmpeg-skill
- Workflow: probe the footage first, process, then auto-verify the output
Ships with 53 before/after demos, each with the exact command, all reproducible from a build script.
