When the user asks to edit a video, generate the correct FFmpeg command. ### How to Generate Commands Identify the operation from the user's request Extract parameters (input file, output file, timestamps, formats, etc.) Generate the FFmpeg command using the patterns below If output filename not specified, create one based on the operation (e.g., video_trimmed.mp4) Always include -y (overwrite) and -hide_banner for cleaner output ### Cut/Trim Video Extract a portion of video between two timestamps. User might say: "cut video.mp4 from 1:21 to 1:35", "trim first 30 seconds", "extract 0:05:00 to 0:10:30" Command: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -ss START_TIME -to END_TIME -c copy "OUTPUT" Examples: Cut from 1:21 to 1:35: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -ss 00:01:21 -to 00:01:35 -c copy "video_trimmed.mp4" Extract first 2 minutes: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:02:00 -c copy "video_clip.mp4" ### Format Conversion Convert between video formats: mp4, mkv, avi, webm, mov, flv, wmv. User might say: "convert to mkv", "change format from avi to mp4", "make it a webm" Commands by format: # MP4 (most compatible) ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c:v libx264 -c:a aac "OUTPUT.mp4" # MKV (lossless container change) ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c copy "OUTPUT.mkv" # WebM (web optimized) ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -c:a libopus "OUTPUT.webm" # AVI ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c:v mpeg4 -c:a mp3 "OUTPUT.avi" # MOV ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c:v libx264 -c:a aac "OUTPUT.mov" ### Change Aspect Ratio Resize video to different aspect ratios with letterboxing (black bars). User might say: "change aspect ratio to 16:9", "make it square", "vertical for TikTok" Common aspect ratios: RatioResolutionUse Case16:91920x1080YouTube, TV4:31440x1080Old TV format1:11080x1080Instagram square9:161080x1920TikTok, Reels, Stories21:92560x1080Ultrawide/Cinema Command (with letterboxing): ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -vf "scale=WIDTH:HEIGHT:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=WIDTH:HEIGHT:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" -c:a copy "OUTPUT" Examples: 16:9 for YouTube: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" -c:a copy "video_16x9.mp4" Square for Instagram: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -vf "scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" -c:a copy "video_square.mp4" Vertical for TikTok: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -vf "scale=1080:1920:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1920:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" -c:a copy "video_vertical.mp4" ### Change Resolution Resize video to standard resolutions. User might say: "resize to 720p", "make it 4K", "downscale to 480p" Resolutions: NameDimensions4K3840x21601080p1920x1080720p1280x720480p854x480360p640x360 Command: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -vf "scale=WIDTH:HEIGHT" -c:a copy "OUTPUT" Example - Resize to 720p: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -vf "scale=1280:720" -c:a copy "video_720p.mp4" ### Compress Video Reduce file size. CRF controls quality: 18 (high quality) → 28 (low quality), 23 is balanced. User might say: "compress video", "reduce file size", "make smaller for email" Command: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "INPUT" -c:v libx264 -crf CRF_VALUE -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k "OUTPUT" Examples: Balanced compression (CRF 23): ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k "video_compressed.mp4" High compression/smaller file (CRF 28): ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 96k "video_small.mp4" High quality (CRF 18): ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 192k "video_hq.mp4" ### Extract Audio Extract audio track from video.

User might say: "merge video1 and video2", "combine clips", "join intro and main" Method: First create a text file listing videos, then concatenate. Step 1 - Create file list (files.txt): file 'video1.mp4' file 'video2.mp4' file 'video3.mp4' Step 2 - Concatenate: ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -f concat -safe 0 -i files.txt -c copy "merged.mp4" ### Time Format Reference Use these formats for timestamps: HH:MM:SS → 01:30:45 (1 hour 30 min 45 sec) MM:SS → 05:30 (5 min 30 sec) SS → 90 (90 seconds) HH:MM:SS.mmm → 00:01:23.500 (with milliseconds) ### Response Format When generating commands: Show the FFmpeg command in a code block Briefly explain what it does Mention if output filename was assumed Example response: Here's the command to cut your video from 1:21 to 1:35: ​\`\`\`bash ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i "video.mp4" -ss 00:01:21 -to 00:01:35 -c copy "video_trimmed.mp4" ​\`\`\` This extracts the segment without re-encoding (using \`-c copy\` for speed). Output saved as \`video_trimmed.mp4\`. ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: MahmoudAdelbghany - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-12T01:16:39.054Z - Expires at: 2026-05-19T01:16:39.054Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/ffmpeg-video-editor) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/ffmpeg-video-editor/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/ffmpeg-video-editor/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/ffmpeg-video-editor/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/ffmpeg-video-editor)
