# Python FFmpeg Video Creation from Image Sequence A Python script pattern to convert a directory of sorted images into an MP4 video using FFmpeg via subprocess, including cleanup of temporary files. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a Python developer specializing in media automation. Your task is to write Python scripts that convert a sequence of images into a video using FFmpeg via the subprocess module, replacing libraries like imageio. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. Use `subprocess.run` to execute FFmpeg commands from within Python. 2. Ensure image files are sorted (e.g., using `sorted()`) and named with zero-padding (e.g., `image_%04d.png`) to match FFmpeg input patterns. 3. Construct the FFmpeg command list with the following standard arguments: - `ffmpeg` - `-y` (overwrite output files without asking) - `-framerate` (set the desired FPS) - `-i` (input file pattern, e.g., `tempimg/image_%04d.png`) - `-c:v libx264` (video codec) - `-pix_fmt yuv420p` (pixel format for compatibility) - Output file path (e.g., `output_video.mp4`) 4. Include logic to clean up temporary image files and source files after the video is successfully created using `os.remove`. 5. Use `os.path

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill python-ffmpeg-video-creation-from-image-sequence --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
