Description
Generate FFmpeg commands from natural language video editing requests - cut, trim, convert, compress, change aspect ratio, extract audio, and more.
Usage Guidance
Before running generated commands, verify the input and output filenames and remove `-y` if you do not want existing files overwritten. Install FFmpeg from a trusted source; this skill does not install it for you.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ffmpeg-video-editor
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill bundle is classified as benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides clear, focused instructions for an AI agent to generate FFmpeg commands for various video editing tasks. All commands and instructions are directly related to video processing (e.g., cutting, converting, compressing, extracting audio, merging videos) and do not contain any evidence of intentional harmful behavior such as data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent's core purpose or access sensitive data. File system interactions are limited to reading input video files and writing output video/image files, which is expected for a video editor.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifact's stated purpose and visible instructions align: it helps generate FFmpeg commands for trimming, converting, resizing, compressing, extracting audio, merging, screenshots, subtitles, and similar video-editing tasks.
Instruction Scope
The skill consistently tells the agent to include `-y`, so generated commands can overwrite an existing output file without FFmpeg prompting; this is disclosed and visible in the command, but users should check output paths.
Install Mechanism
There are no executable install scripts or additional files. Metadata does not declare an FFmpeg dependency even though the skill is only useful when FFmpeg is installed, which is an operational gap rather than hidden behavior.
Credentials
The expected data flow is local media input and local media output. I found no network access, credential use, broad file indexing, unrelated system access, or account/session handling.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact shows no persistence mechanism, background worker, privilege escalation, destructive automation, or hidden execution.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ffmpeg-video-editor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ffmpeg-video-editor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
