When to use
Use this skills whenever you are dealing with Remotion code to obtain the domain-specific knowledge.
Captions
When dealing with captions or subtitles, load the ./rules/subtitles.md file for more information.
Using FFmpeg
For some video operations, such as trimming videos or detecting silence, FFmpeg should be used. Load the ./rules/ffmpeg.md file for more information.
Audio visualization
When needing to visualize audio (spectrum bars, waveforms, bass-reactive effects), load the ./rules/audio-visualization.md file for more information.
