AI summary
Auto-generated overview of what this skill does and when to reach for it.

Use this when
- you need to trim or convert media files from inside an AI chat
- an LLM must generate a thumbnail or transcode a clip
- you want to automate media tasks without writing shell scripts
- you’re debugging FFmpeg commands via natural language

Don't use when
- you only need simple file renames or copies
- your workflow runs entirely in the cloud with no local FFmpeg
Capabilities

- handles multiple simultaneous media tasks
- returns JSON-formatted progress and metadata
- supports local file paths and network URLs
