What timestamp-precision-specialist does

The subagent examines waveform patterns and silence to suggest where each segment should begin and end. For video, it maps timestamps to frame numbers using the frame rate, and provides fade lengths and silence padding. Its checks aim to keep cuts away from the middle of spoken words.

Its workflow uses ffprobe to inspect media details and ffmpeg to create waveform images, detect silence, and inspect frames. The result is JSON with segment times, frame numbers, boundary types, and confidence scores. When speech runs continuously, it looks for less disruptive points between sentences; noisy recordings call for adjusted silence thresholds. The workflow relies on ffmpeg and ffprobe.

What it helps with

  • locate pauses for clean speech edits
  • check whether a cut interrupts a word
  • map video timestamps to frame numbers
  • set fade lengths and silence padding

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find speech boundaries and pauses in interview.mp4, then return edit points as JSON.
  • Inspect podcast.wav and suggest cuts that preserve complete words.
  • Calculate timestamps and frame numbers for each segment in episode.mp4.
