Master complex audio and video manipulation tasks using optimized ffmpeg and ffprobe command-line patterns.
This skill transforms Claude into an expert audio/video engineer, providing deep mastery over ffmpeg and ffprobe for professional media workflows. It enables the generation of precise, production-ready commands for transcoding, hardware-accelerated encoding (NVENC, QSV, VideoToolbox), and broadcast-standard audio normalization. Whether you are building automated video pipelines, optimizing assets for web delivery, or performing deep packet analysis, this skill ensures safety and efficiency by enforcing best practices like explicit stream mapping and quality-based encoding.
