FFmpeg Video Editor

Overview

Generate FFmpeg commands from natural language video editing requests. This skill supports various operations like cut, trim, convert, compress, change aspect ratio, and extract audio.

Key Features

• Cut/Trim Video: Extract a portion of video between two timestamps.
• Format Conversion: Convert between video formats (mp4, mkv, avi, webm, mov, flv, wmv).
• Change Aspect Ratio: Resize video to different aspect ratios with letterboxing (black bars).
• Change Resolution: Resize video to standard resolutions.
• Compress Video: Reduce file size using CRF (quality) control.

How It Works

1. Identify the operation from the user’s request.
2. Extract parameters (input file, output file, timestamps, formats, etc.).
3. Generate the FFmpeg command using the patterns below.
4. If output filename not specified, create one based on the operation.
5. Always include -y (overwrite) and -hide_banner for cleaner output.

Use Cases

• Cut a 30-second clip from a 1-hour video.
• Convert a video from mp4 to mkv.
• Resize a video to 16:9 aspect ratio with letterboxing.
• Compress a video to reduce file size.
