CRITICAL GUIDELINES

Windows File Path Requirements

MANDATORY: Always Use Backslashes on Windows for File Paths

When using Edit or Write tools on Windows, you MUST use backslashes (\) in file paths, NOT forward slashes (/).

FFmpeg Karaoke & Animated Text

Use this skill for karaoke subtitles, kinetic typography, scrolling credits, animated lower thirds, typewriter text, timers, and dynamic text overlays. Keep answers practical: identify whether ASS or drawtext is the right tool, provide a copy-paste-ready command or ASS snippet, and call out timing units.
