cosmos CLI

Quick start

cosmos --help
cosmos ingest run --help
cosmos crop run --help
cosmos pipeline --help

Notes - Ensure ffmpeg is installed and available on PATH. - On macOS, Homebrew: brew install ffmpeg. On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg. - Generated outputs are written in the specified output directory.

Manifest discovery and validation - If you do not pass --manifest, cosmos ingest will search the input_dir for a single *.xml manifest (same pattern as the original tool). If found, it parses clips and validates segments using meta.json files. - System checks validate FFmpeg presence and basic output directory permissions. - When a manifest is not found, ingest falls back to discovered .mp4 files for convenience.

Dry runs - Add --dry-run to cosmos ingest run or cosmos pipeline to build commands without executing FFmpeg. Outputs are simulated so downstream steps can proceed.
