Asset Preparation Workflows

Image Preparation

# 1. Resize to appropriate dimensions
magick input.png -resize 1920x1080 output.png

# 2. Optimize PNG
pngquant --quality=80-95 input.png -o optimized.png

# 3. Convert to JPEG (if no transparency)
magick input.png -quality 90 output.jpg

# 4. Generate WebP (modern format)
magick input.png -quality 85 output.webp

Manual workflow:

Open in Photoshop/GIMP/Figma
Resize to exact or 2x display dimensions
Export at appropriate quality
Verify file size (< 1MB for most images)

Video Preparation

# Convert to H.264 MP4
ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 20 -c:a aac -b:a 192k output.mp4

# Resize video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1920:1080 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 output.mp4

# Extract clip segment
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:05 -c copy output.mp4

# Compress video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -c:a aac -b:a 128k compressed.mp4

# Trim audio
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ss 00:00:05 -t 00:00:10 -c copy trimmed.mp3

# Adjust volume
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "volume=1.5" louder.mp3

# Fade in/out
