Local video editor for coding agents: 42 FFmpeg tools with a machine-readable contract and an MCP server, for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. Cut, captions, reframe, loudness, platform exports. No cloud, no API keys.

Why this job: name: -skill; topics: agent-skills, claude-code, codex, cursor

ffmpeg-skill v3: give your coding agent a video editor. An agent runs probe, cut, fit, export and check, and the final file is measured: 59.98 s, 1080x1920, 30 fps.

What it does

Left half is the input, right half is what the command produced. Every before/after demo, with the exact command under each one → — all of it generated from synthetic footage by python3 demos/build.py, so you can rebuild every frame of it yourself.

Get started

npx ffmpeg-skill contract --json
# or: python3 scripts/_contract.py --json
npx ffmpeg-skill contract --json --static
# without environment detection

You need: FFmpeg 6.1+ (3.0.0 removed 5.x; an older build is refused). Required by at least one tool (so doctor's ok needs them all): libx264, aac, and the drawtext, subtitles (libass), loudnorm, xfade, acrossfade, amix, overlay, scdet, silencedetect,; Python 3.10+, standard library only (3.0.0 removed 3.9); Node 16+ only for the npx installer
