 "title": "Turn a talking-head video into a captioned TikTok",
 "page_title": "How to turn a talking-head video into a captioned TikTok with Ffmpeg Skill",
 "summary": "One render command crops to 9:16, burns in your cue text and normalizes loudness for TikTok.",
 "who": "A creator with a talking-head recording and a text file of caption cues, who wants a finished TikTok without learning FFmpeg.",
 "problem": "Captioning, reframing, loudness and platform export are separate steps, and the caption text has to sit clear of the app's own UI.",
 "outcome": "A TikTok-ready file with popped captions above the description bar, around -14 LUFS, plus a check report written by the skill.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the skill with `npx ffmpeg-skill` and confirm the tools are usable with `npx ffmpeg-skill doctor`.",
  "Write your caption lines into a cues file, one cue per line, with the text as you want it burned in.",
  "Run `python3 $S/render.py talk.mp4 --template tiktok --cues cues.txt`, after setting `S` to the skill's scripts folder.",
  "Find the output next to the input, or use `-o` to choose another folder, and confirm the check.py result for TikTok."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the ffmpeg-skill repo, render <talk video> with the tiktok template and the cues file <cues.txt>. Expected output: a 9:16 TikTok MP4 with captions and a platform check written next to it. Verify the check result and the output resolution before reporting success.",

  "ffmpeg and ffprobe on your PATH (run `npx ffmpeg-skill doctor` to check)",

  "Node.js, for `npx ffmpeg-skill`",
