video-enhancer — Video Enhancement Pipeline
Sharpens, colour-grades, and normalises audio for a batch of videos. No captions — for captioning use the video-captioner skill.
Pipeline
input video → unsharp + eq + colorbalance (ffmpeg) → -14 LUFS audio normalisation → output
Presets
| Preset | Sharpness | Saturation | Warmth |
|---|
natural | subtle | +10% | none |
cinematic | strong | +35% | warm (red boost, blue reduce) |
vivid | strong | +40% | none |
If the user has not specified a preset, ask them which look they want before running. Describe the options briefly: natural for a clean, understated result; cinematic for a warm, punchy Instagram-ready grade; vivid for maximum colour intensity.
How to run
Install dependencies (first run only):
cd "$SKILL_DIR" && uv sync
Then process videos:
cd "$SKILL_DIR" && uv run python scripts/enhance.py \
--input <path/to/input> \
--output <path/to/output> \
--preset natural|cinematic|vivid
Common invocations
uv run python scripts/enhance.py --input ./input --output ./output --preset cinematic
uv run python scripts/enhance.py --input ./input --output ./output --preset natural
uv run python scripts/enhance.py --input ./input --output ./output --preset vivid
After running
Report back to the user:
- How many videos were processed successfully and how many failed.
- The full path to the output directory.
- If any videos failed, name them explicitly.
Edge cases
- If
ffmpeg is not installed: tell the user to install it (sudo pacman -S ffmpeg on Arch/CachyOS, brew install ffmpeg on macOS, sudo apt install ffmpeg on Ubuntu)
- If
uv is not installed: direct to https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
- If the input directory is empty: report clearly rather than silently exiting
- If an unknown preset is given: list the valid options (natural, cinematic, vivid)
- Audio normalisation may print a warning about dynamic mode for short clips — this is expected and not an error
