Can I use this skill to create GIFs from videos?

Absolutely. It provides high-quality GIF creation patterns that use palette generation to ensure better color accuracy and smaller file sizes compared to standard conversion.

Does this skill support hardware acceleration?

Yes, it includes specialized configurations for NVIDIA NVENC and Intel QuickSync (QSV) to significantly speed up video encoding tasks.

What external tools are required for this skill?

This skill requires FFmpeg and ImageMagick to be installed on your local system. They can be installed via Homebrew (macOS), apt (Ubuntu/Debian), or winget (Windows).

How does it handle web streaming formats?

It provides ready-to-use commands for generating adaptive bitrate HLS and DASH playlists, including segmenting and playlist manifest generation.

Is batch processing supported for images?

Yes, the skill utilizes ImageMagick's 'mogrify' command and shell loops to perform efficient in-place batch transformations on entire directories of images.
