About these FFmpeg skills

FFmpeg can do almost anything to a video file, but its flags are hard to remember. FFmpeg skills hand Claude tested recipes, so a plain request like "cut the silences and export a vertical 1080p clip" turns into the right commands, run locally and checked afterwards.

Install FFmpeg first (from ffmpeg.org, or brew install ffmpeg on macOS), then add a skill. The FFmpeg Skill by kajisho5 ships 42 tools and an MCP server; the others focus on one job each, like cutting mistakes or understanding footage before an edit.

This page collects every skill in the directory that covers FFmpeg: 7 from 4 publishers. Each one links back to its original GitHub repository, so you always get the author's latest version.
