Generic, on-demand transcoding. Unlike render-with-profile (which uses a saved preset), this skill takes parameters per invocation. Use it for one-offs, format conversions, framerate changes, or fixes (VBR → CBR).
Transcode is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/transcode/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user says "transcode this", "convert these to h.265", "change the framerate to 30", "make these smaller", or "VBR to CBR".
The Transcode skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It is part of the open ClaudSkills registry, a community-curated catalog of 56,000+ capabilities you can install for Claude Code — the Claude CLI agent.

Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/transcode/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
