Media Processing

Tools and workflows for working with images, audio, and video in a repeatable, scriptable way using standard CLI tools (FFmpeg, ImageMagick) and Python helpers.

When to Use

  • Working with image batches (thumbnails, resizing, format conversion)
  • Converting media between formats (video ↔ audio ↔ image)
  • Optimizing video size while maintaining acceptable quality
  • Preparing assets for web, mobile, or archival use
  • Designing or refining CLI workflows around FFmpeg/ImageMagick

Key Principles

  • CLI-first workflows: Prefer command-line tools (FFmpeg, ImageMagick) and scripts that can be automated in CI or local tooling.
  • Deterministic scripts: Scripts should be safe to run repeatedly with predictable output paths and options.
  • Non-destructive defaults: Default to writing outputs to new files/directories rather than overwriting originals.
  • Cross-platform friendly: Keep examples and scripts usable on Linux, macOS, and Windows where possible.
  • Agent-agnostic: Guidance should work with any coding agent (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, etc.), not one specific environment.

Capabilities

  • Image workflows
  • Batch resize and thumbnail generation
  • Aspect-ratio–aware resizing (fit, fill, cover, exact)
  • Optional watermarking
  • Format conversion (e.g., PNG → WebP, JPEG)
  • Media conversion
  • Detects media type (video, audio, image) from extension
  • Uses FFmpeg for video/audio, ImageMagick for images
  • Quality presets for web, archive, and mobile use cases
  • Batch conversion with dry-run and verbose modes
  • Video optimization
  • Resolution and frame-rate adjustments
  • Single-pass (CRF) or two-pass encoding
  • Audio bitrate tuning
  • Basic before/after comparison (size, bitrate, resolution, FPS)

Scripts

Scripts live in scripts/ and are intended to be run directly from a shell:

  • batch_resize.py
  • Batch image resizing with multiple strategies (fit, fill, cover, exact, thumbnail)
  • Optional watermark overlay
  • Supports parallel processing and dry-run mode
  • media_convert.py
  • Unified conversion tool for video, audio, and images
  • Automatically picks FFmpeg or ImageMagick
  • Uses quality presets (web, archive, mobile)
  • Supports batch conversion and format changes (e.g., .mov.mp4, .wav.mp3)
  • video_optimize.py
  • Focused on video size/quality trade-offs
  • Resolution caps, FPS reduction, CRF tuning, optional two-pass encoding
  • Optional comparison summary between original and optimized outputs

See scripts/requirements.txt for environment expectations (Python 3.10+, FFmpeg, ImageMagick) and system installation hints.

Usage Guidelines

  • Check dependencies first
  • Ensure ffmpeg and ffprobe are installed and on PATH for video/audio tasks.
  • Ensure magick (ImageMagick) is installed and on PATH for image tasks.
  • Prefer dry-runs when exploring
  • Use --dry-run and/or --verbose flags on scripts to inspect generated commands before running them.
  • Keep originals
  • Point outputs to a separate directory on first runs (e.g., --output ./out/) to avoid accidental overwrites.
  • Document workflows
  • When you find good command lines or script invocations, promote them into project scripts (e.g., just, npm scripts, or CI jobs) so they’re repeatable.
