Can I extract a frame from a specific point in a video?

Yes, you can use the --time flag followed by a timestamp (e.g., 00:00:10) to capture a frame from a specific moment in the video.

What are the requirements to use the Video Frames skill?

This skill requires FFmpeg to be installed on your system. It includes a built-in command to install FFmpeg via Homebrew if it is not already present.

How does this skill improve my workflow in Claude Code?

It allows the AI to programmatically generate visual snapshots of video files you are working on, making it easier to document, debug, or create assets during development.

Does it support batch processing of video frames?

While the primary commands focus on single frame extraction, the skill can be incorporated into scripts within Claude Code to process multiple frames or videos.

Which image formats does the skill support for output?

The skill primarily supports .jpg for quick sharing and smaller file sizes, and .png for lossless, high-quality UI frames.
