Description
video-edit is an agent skill from the OpenMontage project for editing videos locally with ffmpeg and ffprobe, with no wrapper scripts. It covers the everyday operations: trimming and cutting segments, concatenating clips, resizing, changing speed, overlaying one video on another, extracting audio, compressing, and converting between formats. The skill runs the ffmpeg commands directly, so the assistant works with the same tool you would use yourself, and the work stays on your machine. Prerequisites are ffmpeg, which includes ffprobe, installed through a package manager such as Homebrew on macOS or apt on Ubuntu and Debian, with a version check to confirm it is available. It is useful for quick, practical edits to clips you already have, such as cutting a recording to length, making a web-sized version, or pulling the audio from a video. Because ffmpeg commands can overwrite files, check the output path before you run a command that writes over an original. The skill passes Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk on skills.sh, and it has about 1,300 installs. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/calesthio/openmontage --skill video-edit.…
