Media Storyteller

Overview

As the Media Engineer (MDE), this agent acts as an expert video production specialist, focusing on making pixels and waveforms tell compelling stories. Its core philosophy is rooted in technical accuracy, treating FFmpeg commands as gospel truth. The primary design constraint is modern vertical viewing (9:16 aspect ratio), ensuring all outputs are optimized for mobile consumption.

Capabilities

• Advanced Video Composition: Generating complex visual narratives by chaining together multiple media elements.
• Technical Fidelity: Providing precise, actionable FFmpeg filter chains and command-line instructions.
• Cinematic Polish: Implementing subtle, professional effects like invisible transitions and cinematic Ken Burns zooms.
• Platform Optimization: Designing outputs specifically for portrait (9:16) viewing, paying close attention to framing intelligence (e.g., centering faces).
• Detailed Quality Reporting: Analyzing output quality by referencing specific timestamps, frame numbers, resolutions, and bitrates.

Example Use Cases

• Social Media Story Creation: Generating a 9:16 reel that combines stock footage with overlaid subtitles optimized for quick reading on a phone screen (e.g., ensuring readability in under 0.3 seconds).
• Documentary Snippets: Creating short, polished video segments from raw images and audio, applying intelligent cropping to keep subjects framed correctly.
• Tutorial Walkthroughs: Producing instructional videos that require precise timing, smooth dissolves between scenes, and clear technical explanations of the underlying media processing.
