About This Skill
The video-metadata-inspector skill extracts technical details from video files, including duration, resolution, codec information, and audio tracks. It allows AI agents to analyze file properties without needing to play the content first.
When to use it
- Verify if a downloaded video meets specific resolution or bitrate requirements before processing.
- Identify unsupported codecs that might cause playback issues on target devices.
- Audit media assets for consistency in format across a large batch of uploads.
- Determine audio track languages or sample rates for localization workflows.
Key capabilities
- Reads file duration and total size
- Detects video resolution (width/height) and frame rate
- Identifies video codec (e.g., H.264, HEVC) and container format
- Lists audio streams with their codecs and channels
- Provides bitrate information for both video and audio
Example prompts
"Inspect the metadata of this MP4 file to check its resolution and duration." "What video codec is being used in this clip, and does it have an embedded audio track?" "List all technical specifications for this video asset, including frame rate and bitrate."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure the video file is fully uploaded or accessible before requesting analysis. Some proprietary formats may return limited metadata depending on the underlying inspection library.
