What is the Video Frames skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to interface with FFmpeg to capture images and clips from video files using standardized command-line patterns.

What image formats can I save frames as?

You can save frames as .jpg for smaller file sizes and quick sharing, or .png for high-fidelity frames suitable for UI design and documentation.

Can I extract a frame from a specific timestamp?

Absolutely. You can use the --time flag followed by a timestamp (e.g., 00:00:10) to target specific moments in a video.

Is it possible to automate bulk frame extraction?

While the quick start focuses on single frames, the underlying script and Claude's reasoning can be used to iterate through multiple timestamps for batch processing.

Does this skill require external software?

Yes, this skill requires FFmpeg to be installed on your system. It includes a helper to install it via Homebrew for macOS users.
