Who it is forA marketer or creator who publishes the same video on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn, X and other platforms and wants all versions from one edit.

The problemEach platform needs its own aspect ratio, limits and export settings, and making each version by hand repeats the same work.

The outcomeOne output file per platform template, plus a pack table that lists what each destination produced.

What you need first

  • ffmpeg and ffprobe on your PATH (run `npx ffmpeg-skill doctor` to check)
  • python3 on your PATH (on Windows, `python` or the `py` launcher may be needed instead)
  • Node.js, for `npx ffmpeg-skill`
  • A coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, or any MCP client

Steps

  1. Install the skill with npx ffmpeg-skill and run npx ffmpeg-skill doctor.
  2. List the templates and their frames, limits and safe zones with python3 $S/render.py --list-templates. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Preview every planned command with python3 $S/render.py talk.mp4 --template all --dry-run. (inferred, check the README)
  4. Render all destinations with python3 $S/render.py talk.mp4 --template all, then read the _pack.md table it writes. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

Using the ffmpeg-skill repo, render <source video> with --template all so it covers every platform template. Expected output: one file per platform plus a _pack.md summary table. Verify the summary lists every destination and that each output probes correctly.

Caveat. Platform limits and safe zones come from the shipped templates, so check them against the current app rules before you publish.
