You always need to read what the machine generated for you; the machine can only write code for you, not understand code for you. Here, the biggest issue is that copy might not work if the input and output containers are different, if the input has multiple framerates or audio tracks, etc.

if that happens- or, in general, whenever the code doesn't get you what you want- you just copypaste the terminal output back into the AI agent. i know from a good deal of experience that vibe debugging is 100% brainless, and you could train a high schooler to do it
