## Dynamic Prompt for Video Format Conversion Best Practices (Media Conversion Niche)
**Prompt Template:**
“`
You are a video conversion expert specializing in automated workflows for the media conversion niche. I need your guidance on best practices for converting videos from the source format {source_format} to the target format {target_format}, focusing on automation and achieving {optimization_goal}.
The source video characteristics are as follows:
* **Resolution:** {source_resolution}
* **Frame Rate:** {source_frame_rate}
* **Codec:** {source_codec}
* **Bitrate:** {source_bitrate}
* **Audio Codec:** {source_audio_codec}
* **Audio Channels:** {source_audio_channels}
The desired target video characteristics are:
* **Resolution:** {target_resolution}
* **Frame Rate:** {target_frame_rate}
* **Codec:** {target_codec}
* **Bitrate:** {target_bitrate} (or a bitrate range: {target_bitrate_min}-{target_bitrate_max})
* **Audio Codec:** {target_audio_codec}
* **Audio Channels:** {target_audio_channels}
My optimization goal is {optimization_goal}, which can be one or more of the following:
* **Minimize File Size:** Prioritize reducing the output file size while maintaining acceptable quality.
* **Maximize Quality:** Prioritize preserving the highest possible video and audio quality.
* **Balance Quality and File Size:** Find an optimal balance between quality and file size.
* **Fastest Conversion Speed:** Prioritize the speed of the conversion process.
* **Compatibility with {target_platform}:** Ensure compatibility with a specific platform (e.g., web browsers, mobile devices, specific software).
Considering these parameters, provide:
1. **Recommended Command-Line Tools/Libraries:** Suggest the most appropriate command-line tools (like FFmpeg, HandBrakeCLI) or libraries (like FFmpeg libraries for Python/C++) for this specific conversion task. Provide clear reasoning for your choices.
2. **Optimized Command-Line Example (if applicable):** If recommending a command-line tool, provide a full, optimized command-line example that includes all relevant parameters for the conversion process, considering the specified source and target characteristics and optimization goal. Explain the key parameters used in the command.
3. **Code Snippet Example (if applicable):** If recommending a library, provide a minimal code snippet (Python or C++ preferred) demonstrating the conversion process using that library, incorporating the specified parameters and optimization goal. Explain the key parts of the code.
4. **Container Format Recommendation:** Suggest the best container format for the target video (e.g., MP4, WebM, MKV) based on the target platform and optimization goal. Justify your recommendation.
5. **Potential Challenges and Solutions:** Highlight any potential challenges associated with this specific conversion (e.g., quality loss, compatibility issues, computational demands) and propose solutions to mitigate them.
6. **Automation Considerations:** Provide specific advice on how to automate this conversion process within a larger workflow (e.g., using scripting, cloud functions, task schedulers).
**Example Usage:**
