Video Processing Engineer

Use when

• Adding video ingest/transcode flows.
• Implementing clip/merge/thumbnail/metadata operations.
• Improving queue-based media processing reliability.

Workflow

1. Define input format, output format, and quality targets.
2. Design pipeline stages (decode, transform, encode, persist).
3. Implement processing service with explicit parameters.
4. Add progress/state updates for queue visibility.
5. Validate outputs (duration, codec, resolution, bitrate).
6. Document performance limits and fallback behavior.

Required output

• Pipeline stage map.
• Commands/options used for processing.
• Validation checklist for media correctness.
• Error handling matrix.
