vidseeds-local-video

Use when the user's video is on disk — VidSeeds MCP probe, frame/clip extraction, ffmpeg recipes, precision trim, and midroll analysis. Hosted tools return commands/recipes to run locally; media stays on the user's machine.

mkdir -p .claude/skills && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins/HEAD/plugins/CarrotGamesStudios/vidseeds-mcp/skills/vidseeds-local-video/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/vidseeds-local-video.md

Drops the SKILL.md into .claude/skills/vidseeds-local-video.md. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any agent that loads SKILL.md files from .claude/skills/.

Local video media (MCP)

VidSeeds.ai follows client-first media: the hosted MCP server does not read files from the user's computer. Tools return recipes (ffmpeg/ffprobe commands) or accept base64 frames the agent extracted locally.

Probe a file

  • vidseeds_probe_local_video — duration, resolution, codecs; use before trim or thumbnail frame picks.

Frames and clips

Goal Tool
Still frames for thumbnails vidseeds_extract_video_frames
Short clip for context vidseeds_extract_video_clip
Generic transcode recipe vidseeds_transcode_format_recipe
Media helper commands vidseeds_get_local_media_recipe

Run returned shell commands on the user's machine (requires ffmpeg/ffprobe installed). Pass results back into thumbnail tools as frames on vidseeds_generate_thumbnail when needed.

Precision trim

  1. vidseeds_analyze_precision_trim — suggested cut points.
  2. vidseeds_plan_precision_trim — plan from analysis.
  3. vidseeds_execute_precision_trim — export recipe/commands for local ffmpeg.

Midroll placement

  • vidseeds_analyze_midroll_opportunities — suggested mid-roll times from transcript/context (analysis only; user edits in their editor).

Thumbnails from local file

Prefer the vidseeds-local stdio MCP tool vidseeds_generate_thumbnail_from_video when the whole pipeline should run on-disk (see vidseeds-thumbnails).

YouTube-hosted source (not local path)

  • vidseeds_get_youtube_video_transcript, vidseeds_get_youtube_video_captions — text from YouTube without downloading video to the server.

Do not

  • Expect hosted tools to accept arbitrary filesystem paths for upload/processing.
  • Re-run probe/extract in a loop — cache probe results for the session.
