What types of media operations can Claude perform with this skill?

Claude can generate commands for format conversion, video scaling, audio extraction, trimming, concatenating files, applying complex filters, and preparing streams for HLS or RTMP.

Can I use this for batch processing many files at once?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for Bash loops and GNU Parallel integration to automate the processing of entire directories of media files.

Does this skill support modern video codecs like AV1?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for next-generation codecs including AV1 (libsvtav1), VP9, and H.265 (HEVC) for superior compression.

Does it include help for hardware-accelerated encoding?

Yes, it contains specific command structures for NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, and AMD VCE to significantly reduce encoding times using GPU power.

How do I balance quality and file size using this skill?

The skill provides a detailed breakdown of Constant Rate Factor (CRF) scales and encoding presets to help you achieve the perfect balance between visual quality and storage efficiency.
