Demo footage: public-domain timelapses (Bureau of Land Management, Oregon · NASA SVS). Processed by the same pipeline the API and MCP tools call.

Useful defaults, typed options.

The tool slug stays stable while your agent supplies named media inputs and a narrow set of documented options.

About strip metadata

No. The audio and video streams are copied bit-for-bit; only the container is rewritten without its metadata, so the output is fast and identical in quality.

Global and per-stream tags: GPS coordinates, device make and model, creation and modification times, software and encoder tags.
