compress-video

Compress videos locally using FFmpeg and FFprobe. Install missing dependencies needed for the requested workflow. Website workflows require source-code access and browser tools to verify the rendered site.

Commands

Request	Workflow
A video file, or compress <file>	Compress using compression.md.
compare <file>	Compare quality and estimated sizes using comparison.md.
audit [project] [URL or scope]	Inspect embedded videos and report improvements using audit.md.
scan-and-optimize [project] [URL or scope]	Discover, audit, optimize, and update videos across the project using scan-and-optimize.md.

Infer the workflow from natural-language requests too. Read only the relevant references. A file without a command uses the compression workflow.

For both website workflows, use the current workspace or a supplied project path. If source code is unavailable, ask for repository access before starting. Begin with routes, components, styles, and asset references in the source code; use a live or local URL to verify rendered video sizes and playback. If no URL is supplied, reuse a development server or start the project locally.

audit reviews the requested page and its source code, or the specified scope. scan-and-optimize covers the whole source project by default; a supplied URL is its browser starting point. Honor an explicitly narrower scope. Ask for a missing input only when it cannot be inferred.

Reuse source locations and preferences already provided. Compression defaults, including CRF values, are defined in compression.md.

Examples

$compress-video demo.mov
$compress-video compare demo.mov
$compress-video audit ./website https://example.com/blog/post
$compress-video scan-and-optimize ./website http://localhost:3000

These are agent requests, not terminal commands.
