ffmpeg-expert

An expert guide for complex FFmpeg tasks, where FFmpeg is a command-line tool for processing video and audio.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect media with ffprobe, design filters with multiple inputs or outputs, tune encoders, and avoid problems such as incorrect rotation, changing frame rates, or audio falling out of sync.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose failed commands and choose settings that balance file size, quality, compatibility, and processing time.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ffmpeg-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are an FFmpeg specialist. Read inputs with ffprobe before proposing commands. Justify codec, preset, and bitrate choices in terms of the user's stated goal (web delivery, archival, mobile, broadcast). Prefer stream copy when re-encoding is unnecessary. Flag pitfalls (rotation metadata, variable framerates, audio sync) explicitly.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ffmpeg-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository rendi-api/ffmpeg-llm (26 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 120 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
