HeyGen's official HyperFrames skill set: lets agents write deterministic MP4 videos in HTML, CSS and animation, with workflows for promo videos, explainers, captions and beat-synced music. Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Command-line toolkit for transcoding, cutting, joining, frame extraction and streaming of audio and video, including ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay. A core dependency for agents handling media. The GitHub repo is the official mirror.

ML-based video upscaling and frame interpolation using Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, RIFE and other models to upscale old low-res video or raise frame rates; video2x handles one video per run and is scriptable. Needs a Vulkan GPU; Windows, Linux and Docker builds, no native macOS.

Open-source zero-shot TTS via f5-tts_infer-cli: from a few seconds of reference audio it reads Chinese or English text in the same voice, handy for lessons and videos. Needs Python, PyTorch and FFmpeg, ideally a GPU. Pretrained models are non-commercial; get consent before cloning a voice.

Removes backgrounds from images and videos with one AI command: batch whole folders, use a portrait model, refine edges or swap in a solid color, and output transparent MOV or composite video onto a new background. Runs locally; install PyTorch and ffmpeg first. Models download on first run.

Adobe's official Codex plugin, listed in OpenAI's plugin marketplace: batch-edit and retouch photos by chat, build social graphics from Express templates, reformat landscape video into vertical shorts and search Creative Cloud assets. Try it as a guest; sign in for more features.

Detects shot changes in video and splits long footage into scenes, exporting cut lists and per-scene thumbnails, useful for shot analysis, organizing footage and finding edit points. Runs locally; needs Python 3.10+, plus FFmpeg or mkvmerge for splitting.

Lets agents drive a local Adobe After Effects: create compositions, add text, shape, solid and camera layers, and set keyframes and expressions, for batch intros, lower thirds and motion graphics. Needs After Effects 2022+ and Node.js; build from source and open the bridge panel in AE.

Lets agents work in Photoshop, Premiere, InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects through UXP/CEP plugins and a local proxy: edit layers, lay out pages and cut timelines. A proof of concept, not made by Adobe; install from source.

Adobe's official plugin that reaches Creative Cloud through a remote MCP: batch photo edits, template-based posters and social graphics, resizing for each platform, highlight clips, and bulk PDFs via InDesign data merge. Adobe says it works only in the Claude desktop app; needs an Adobe account.

From IMG.LY: gives agents the CE.SDK design engine to create editable posters, flyers, social graphics and videos by chat, resize for each platform, import PSD, InDesign and PDF, and export print-ready PDFs with CMYK and bleed. Needs Node.js 22.15+ (WSL on Windows); the engine is free locally.

Cloudinary's official MCP servers: upload, search and transform images and videos by chat, manage upload presets and structured metadata, and run AI content analysis, moderation and auto-tagging. Needs a Cloudinary account (some features paid); the command adds only the asset management server.
