How do I extract audio from a video without losing quality?

The skill provides a 'copy' codec command that allows you to extract audio streams directly from containers like MP4 or MKV without re-encoding, preserving the original quality.

What is the FFmpeg Claude Code skill?

It is a specialized capability that provides Claude with expert knowledge and standardized command patterns for using the FFmpeg multimedia framework effectively.

Can this skill help with 4K video encoding?

Yes, it includes optimized patterns for H.265/HEVC and AV1 codecs, which are specifically designed for high-resolution 4K video and file size reduction.

Can I use it for batch processing media files?

Absolutely. The skill includes common patterns for Bash loops and GNU Parallel to help you process multiple media files simultaneously.

Does it support hardware acceleration?

Yes, the skill provides specific command structures for NVIDIA (NVENC), Intel (QSV), and AMD (VCE) to significantly speed up the encoding process.
