Command recipes for converting, resizing, compressing, trimming and extracting audio from video with FFmpeg, including settings for Remotion projects.

  • Works in 2 steps: Update this skill with improvements → Create a PR to…
  • Converting a GIF to an MP4 that Remotion can use
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Remotion-Specific Patterns, Common Issues and Quality Guidelines, plus 1 more section
  • Calls ffmpeg and ffprobe

What it does

The skill is a quick reference of ffmpeg and ffprobe commands for video and audio work, written with Remotion projects in mind. Recipes include converting a GIF to an MP4 with faststart, yuv420p and even-dimension scaling flags, resizing to 1920x1080 with padding, compressing with libx264 at a chosen CRF, extracting audio to MP3, converting audio formats such as M4A to MP3 for ElevenLabs voice samples, trimming, changing speed, joining clips, fading in and out, and reading duration, resolution and codec details.

The notes explain why the flags matter, for example that even dimensions are required by most codecs, and recommend re-encoding when trimming because a stream copy can silently drop video if the seek point misses a keyframe. A Remotion-specific section covers video speed adjustment, and a reference.md file adds more detail.

When your agent uses it

  • Converting a GIF to an MP4 that Remotion can use
  • Compressing or resizing a video file
  • Extracting the audio from a video as MP3
  • Trimming, speeding up or joining clips

Example prompts

  • “Convert demo.gif to an MP4 that works in Remotion.”
  • “Compress intro.mp4 so it is much smaller but still looks good.”
  • “Extract the audio from interview.mp4 as an MP3.”

Requirements

  • FFmpeg and ffprobe installed

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Update this skill with improvements
  2. Create a PR to github.com/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c99460. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ffmpeg
    • ffprobe

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

FFmpeg for Video Production loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 556 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Video and audio processing with FFmpeg. Use for format conversion, resizing, compression, audio extraction, and preparing assets for Remotion. Triggers include converting GIF to MP4, resizing video, extracting audio, compressing files, or any media transformation task.

FFmpeg for Video Production

FFmpeg is the essential tool for video/audio processing. This skill covers common operations for Remotion video projects.

Quick Reference

GIF to MP4 (Remotion-compatible)
bash
ffmpeg -i input.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p \
  -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" output.mp4

Why these flags:

  • -movflags faststart - Moves metadata to start for web streaming
  • -pix_fmt yuv420p - Ensures compatibility with most players
  • scale=trunc(...) - Forces even dimensions (required by most codecs)
Resize Video
bash
# To 1920x1080 (maintain aspect ratio, add black bars)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" output.mp4

# To 1920x1080 (crop to fill)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=increase,crop=1920:1080" output.mp4

# Scale to width, auto height
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:-2" output.mp4
Compress Video
bash
# Good quality, smaller file (CRF 23 is default, lower = better quality)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

# Aggressive compression for web preview
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 96k output.mp4

# Target file size (e.g., ~10MB for 60s video = ~1.3Mbps)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1300k -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4
Extract Audio
bash
# Extract to MP3
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec libmp3lame -q:a 2 output.mp3

# Extract to AAC
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec aac -b:a 192k output.m4a

# Extract to WAV (uncompressed)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn output.wav
Convert Audio Formats
bash
# M4A to MP3 (for ElevenLabs voice samples)
ffmpeg -i input.m4a -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 output.mp3

# WAV to MP3
ffmpeg -i input.wav -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k output.mp3

# Adjust volume
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "volume=1.5" output.mp3
Trim/Cut Video
bash
# Cut from timestamp to duration (recommended - reliable)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -t 00:00:15 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4

# Cut from timestamp to timestamp
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -to 00:00:45 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4

# Stream copy (faster but may lose frames at cut points)
# Only use when source has frequent keyframes
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -t 00:00:15 -c copy output.mp4

Note: Re-encoding is recommended for trimming. Stream copy (-c copy) can silently drop video if the seek point doesn't align with a keyframe.

Speed Up / Slow Down
bash
# 2x speed (video and audio)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.5*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=2.0[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4

# 0.5x speed (slow motion)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=2.0*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=0.5[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4

# Video only (no audio)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=0.5*PTS" -an output.mp4
Concatenate Videos
bash
# Create file list
echo "file 'clip1.mp4'" > list.txt
echo "file 'clip2.mp4'" >> list.txt
echo "file 'clip3.mp4'" >> list.txt

# Concatenate (same codec/resolution)
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy output.mp4

# Concatenate with re-encoding (different sources)
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
Add Fade In/Out
bash
# Fade in first 1 second, fade out last 1 second (30fps video)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fade=t=in:st=0:d=1,fade=t=out:st=9:d=1" -c:a copy output.mp4

# Audio fade
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -af "afade=t=in:st=0:d=1,afade=t=out:st=9:d=1" -c:v copy output.mp4
Get Video Info
bash
# Duration, resolution, codec info
ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 input.mp4

# Full info
ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams input.mp4

Remotion-Specific Patterns

Video Speed Adjustment for Remotion

When to use FFmpeg vs Remotion playbackRate:

ScenarioUse FFmpegUse Remotion
Constant speed (1.5x, 2x)Either works✅ Simpler
Extreme speeds (>4x or <0.25x)✅ More reliableMay have issues
Variable speed (accelerate over time)✅ Pre-processComplex workaround needed
Need perfect audio sync✅ GuaranteedUsually fine
Demo needs to fit voiceover timing✅ Pre-calculateRuntime adjustment

Remotion limitation: playbackRate must be constant. Dynamic interpolation like playbackRate={interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [1, 5])} won't work correctly because Remotion evaluates frames independently.

bash
# Speed up demo to fit a scene (e.g., 60s demo into 20s = 3x speed)
ffmpeg -i demo-raw.mp4 \
  -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.333*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=3.0[a]" \
  -map "[v]" -map "[a]" \
  public/demos/demo-fast.mp4

# Slow motion for emphasis (0.5x speed)
ffmpeg -i action.mp4 \
  -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=2.0*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=0.5[a]" \
  -map "[v]" -map "[a]" \
  public/demos/action-slow.mp4

# Speed up without audio (common for screen recordings)
ffmpeg -i demo.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=0.5*PTS" -an public/demos/demo-2x.mp4

# Timelapse effect (10x speed, drop audio)
ffmpeg -i long-demo.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=0.1*PTS" -an public/demos/timelapse.mp4

Calculate speed factor:

  • To fit X seconds of video into Y seconds of scene: speed = X / Y
  • setpts multiplier = 1 / speed (e.g., 3x speed = setpts=0.333*PTS)
  • atempo value = speed (e.g., 3x speed = atempo=3.0)

Extreme speed (>2x audio): Chain atempo filters (each limited to 0.5-2.0 range):

bash
# 4x speed audio
-filter_complex "[0:a]atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0[a]"

# 8x speed audio
-filter_complex "[0:a]atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0[a]"
Prepare Demo Recording for Remotion
bash
# Standard 1080p, 30fps, Remotion-ready
ffmpeg -i raw-recording.mp4 \
  -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,fps=30" \
  -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow \
  -c:a aac -b:a 192k \
  -movflags faststart \
  public/demos/demo.mp4
Screen Recording to Remotion Asset
bash
# From iPhone/iPad recording (usually 60fps, variable resolution)
ffmpeg -i iphone-recording.mov \
  -vf "scale=1920:-2,fps=30" \
  -c:v libx264 -crf 20 \
  -an \
  public/demos/mobile-demo.mp4
Batch Convert GIFs
bash
for f in assets/*.gif; do
  ffmpeg -i "$f" -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p \
    -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" \
    "public/demos/$(basename "$f" .gif).mp4"
done

Common Issues

"Height not divisible by 2"

Add scale filter: -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2"

Video won't play in browser

Use: -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264

Audio out of sync after speed change

Use filter_complex with atempo: -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.5*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=2.0[a]"

File too large

Increase CRF (23→28) or reduce resolution
