Does this skill support real-time video editing with a visual interface?

No, this skill is designed for programmatic video processing and automation via command-line tools like FFmpeg rather than manual UI-based editing.

Can it handle frame-accurate cutting without quality loss?

Yes, it utilizes two-pass cutting and keyframe alignment techniques to ensure cuts are both frame-precise and high-quality, avoiding common sync artifacts.

Is it possible to automate social media exports with this skill?

Absolutely. It includes specific patterns for optimizing exports for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, including bitrate, resolution, and codec management.

Does it support HDR to SDR conversion?

Yes, it includes technical guidance on color space normalization and tone mapping between BT.2020 (HDR) and BT.709 (SDR) standards to prevent color shifts.

How does it handle audio/video sync issues?

The skill provides advanced patterns for audio stretching, precise millisecond delays (adelay), and timebase synchronization to prevent audio drift over time.
